Actor Lou Diamond Phillips beat out NBC star John Salley and WWE wrestler Torrie Wilson to win I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! during Wednesday night’s live season finale. Though he was an obvious favorite around the camp, it was hard to predict that he would be such a popular choice with home viewers. Before Phillips took his throne and had the big leaf wreath/crown dramatically placed on his head, here’s what he had to say about the competition:

“This experience has proven to be so much greater than I expected it to be,” Phillips said. “I expected it to be a competition.  I expected it to be hard.  What I did not expect was the emotional bonds that we’ve created, the foundation of relationships that will go on from here.” … “When I leave this jungle and go back into the other [real world] jungle I think I will actually go back strengthened by the knowledge that I can do what I set out to do.  My experience in this jungle has been complete,” he added.

Congratulations to the veteran actor. I am glad to see that Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Holly Montag, Janice Dickinson and Sanjaya Malakar were all sent packing and had no shot at the title. They don’t deserve any of the recognition they already get.

Lou Diamond Phillips can now add “King of the Jungle” to his resume!
