Wow, ABC can't decide what to do... first they go to court against CBS in order to be able to air their rip-off "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!" series, then they go and cast folks that stretch the definition of the word "celebrity," then yesterday they announce that as part of the show's 15-nights-in-a-row "Olympics"-like airing schedule the series would air opposite CBS' "Survivor: The Amazon" during it's two Thursday airings.
