Bush Tucker Trials

Since the show first appeared on our screens in 2002 one of the most looked forward/most turned away from events from the viewers angle but most feared from that of a celebrity are the bush tucker trials, each year the producers have tried to out do the previous years show and on most counts have succeeded.

How well a celebrity performs here will affect their chances of winning the show and here they can see their celebrity odds being either increased or reduced.
