I did have a feeling Dolph might appear, what with the timing of being in the UK and the show coming up. Let's not kid ourselves though, these shows often feature once big stars, now faded, and despite DTV success, Dolph is still somewhat of a forgotton man. An appearence on a show like this could actually re-launch him, or it could mess up the good work he's putting in at the moment. It'd be a risk, but it might result in theatrical projects, at least in the UK. Perhaps offers of TV series and certainly, a plethora of chat shows if he did well. It's TV coverage, and spotlight, the likes of which Dolph hasn't had in well over a decade, maybe more. He'd also get paid a fortune to do it. Maybe.
Personally, I think Dolph would have a fantastic chance of winning a show like this. He's cool and a likeable guy. Brigitte Nielsen appeared in celebrity big brother, and Janice Dickinson appeared in a previous I'm a Celebrity season too (it helped her career certainly).
Who knows, Dolph may be thinking of this as ultimate Promo for Command Performance, or perhaps to eventually help towards one of his more ambitious projects, like the Swedish WW2 movie, or Viking Movie etc. You never no. Knowing British tabloids, Dolph's recent appearences in the UK, have probably made them add 2 and 2 to make 5 but we'll see. I'd prefer he just stayed out of it to be honest. It's a big gamble, and it's rare that shows like this pay off. Dolph's doing too well, and I'd guess is slap bang in the middle of finishing CP.
