At last, there's been an epiphany on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" Is it possible that Patti Blagojevich, the dutiful and sympathetic politician's wife, could be more calculating than she'd like viewers to think? Stephen Baldwin, for one, suspects that she has an agenda.
"The perfect little gleaming little shimmer on perfect Peppermint Patti?" he confided to the camera. "Starting to dull a little."
Stephen went so far as to suggest she's not "authentic," saying, "She's got a plan, she's plotting, she's doing what she thinks she needs to do for herself that's in her best interest."
A segment of Wednesday's episode was devoted to Patti and her blossoming friendship with four-time NBA champ John Salley. Not that there's anything wrong with that, says the married Salley. "Patti, it's a trip, it's like I can't be friends with you because you're not of the male race," he said. "Because you're a female, other things come into people's minds. That's not cool."
The inseparable BFFs took shelter from the Costa Rican rainfall under a tree, and Patti joked, "Imagine how the storyline would change if we just snuggled up here."
She's also taken to heart something John said to her: "The truth is like a candle in the darkness and once you light that candle, no matter how much darkness they heap on you, they can never put out the light," said Patti.

I hoped Stephen would be in the bottom two. He pretends to love Patti, but goes out and says things like this. I don't understand what the big deal with Patti and John is. Obviously the show is trying to make a big deal out of it for ratings.Its sad that a woman and a man cannot be friends under their circumstances. Anyway,I love Torriee=] she's awsomee..
I wish she was in the bottom two. I wish she got booted the first week. She is just like Rod, a big phoney. she is using this program as a soapbox. Every week, she has some nasty comments about someone. "The crazy aunt", the people who are or were their friends, the people of Illinois. Not all of us voted for your idiot, theiving husband, Patti. You belong in jail just like he does. You are devious and conniving, just like he is. You are a backstabber, just like he is. Therefore, you belong in jail, just like he does.
