Officially, Angela Shelton is now the first person off of NBC's "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here."

Unofficially, of course, that honor goes to the husband and wife, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

"They quit a good 10 or 20 times," Shelton said by phone today. "The last time, it was, 'Oh yeah, we'll see you in the morning.'"

At one point, the other cast members had a chance to vote on whether to take them back. "We voted no, so you see how much good that did."

Monday's edition -- expanded to two hours -- will decide whether to let them return yet again. There won't be repercussions from the others, Shelton predicted. "These are good people ... They're going to give them a second chance."

Or a 21st chance, depending on how you count.

Montag and Pratt, known from tabloids and the reality show "The Hills,"
grew up rich in Beverly Hills. "It is true that there is someone on this planet for everyone," Shelton said. "They cuddle, they are very loving to each other in some evil way."

What they haven't done, she said, is help do work in the Costa Rican jungle. "I'm not sure if they really are familiar with what work is."

They've raged and insulted. Pratt also slapped a water bottle out of Shelton's hand.
She says he hit her hand; videotape replays leave that in doubt, but she says that's not the issue. "He was trying to be physically intimidating and I think that's reprehensible."

Shelton and her comedy partner, Fran Callier, were late additions to the show, after producers saw them doing a presentation for another show. Shelton says she's strictly a city kid; Sanjaya Malakar even had to show her how to stack wood for a fire.
So it was logical that she was the first person viewers voted out.

Shelton said she instantly had a cheese sandwich, went to a bungalow and "showered for about an hour."

She's high on everyone in the show, except Pratt and Montag. Her comments include:

-- John Salley and Lou Diamond Phillips are "like Buddha; nothing seems to faze them." Indeed, Salley was upset with himself after his angry confrontation with Janice Dickinson. "He is a very peaceful man."

-- Quirks and all, Dickinson is fun. "We've been calling her Crazy Aunt Janice."

-- Malakar seems to savor the setting; "he's one with the jungle."
Still, he faces two problems -- he needs to sing constantly, but can't because the rights to the songs would have to be cleared. Also, he has endless energy. "He needs a 19-year-old friend to play with."

-- When Daniel Baldwin was suddenly added (joining his brother Stephen), it was helpful. "He is such a hard worker .... And the stories he and his brother tell are wonderful."

-- Torrie Wilson may be the top prospect to win, but any of the others could do it, especially Malakar. "And don't count Patti Blagojevich out."

Anyone could win, Shelton said. And anyone could be her friend afterward, "except Heidi and Spencer."
