In the least surprising twist ever, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt quit “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” after the very first episode. And I called it a “twist” and not a “plot twist” for a reason – this had nothing to do with lame reality show twists and turns. Heidi and Spencer just up and walked out after the end of the first live episode. Presumably breaking their contracts, and hopefully – if silver linings really do exist – ruining any potential careers they might have had.

Heidi and Spencer have followed through on their threat — they have quit the NBC reality show “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!”

A source close to production tells TMZ the “Hills” duo walked off the set for good after the live portion of last night’s show. It is unclear how the show will handle their leaving on tonight’s episode.

Guess they weren’t faking … for a change.

UPDATE — We’re told the Red Cross, the charity Spencer was playing for on the show, now wants nothing to do with the program. It’s unclear whether they would have received anything anyway — but regardless, the Spencer experience left a bad taste in their mouth.

Honestly I’m surprised the Red Cross was ever willing to be associated with them in the first place. Who would want their name associated with Spencer Pratt? I don’t care if he saves a baby from falling off a skyscraper. If I were that baby, I’d be pissed at the mention.

According to reports yesterday, Heidi and Spencer honestly thought they’d be staying at a Four Seasons (while everyone else lived in the jungle) and eating separate – better – food than everyone else. Um, this show focuses on C-list celebs, and Heidi and Spencer are G-list, at best. What in the world made them think they’ve be treated better than all the other contestants.

“I’m a Celebrity” producers do seem to have a really great backup contestant. Daniel Baldwin – who’s brother Stephen is another contestant.

Guess jungle life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But not even helping charity could keep Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt from getting out of the NBC show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here on the very first episode.

And, now there’s a surprise in store for remaining contestant Stephen Baldwin, 43, according to DailyFill.com – which reports that his older brother, Daniel Baldwin, is secretly in Costa Rica. Daniel, 48, is now poised to step in for the infamous Montag, 22, and Pratt, 25, who both twice threatened to walk off during the premiere episode.

A source also tells the site that another female replacement is in the works.

Now that is a good twist. And while Daniel Baldwin can be rather sanctimonious and annoying in his own way, it’s not in the “I truly hope evil befalls you” way it is with Spencer Pratt.

But here’s what’s most concerning to me: what’s going to happen to Spencer’s opening credit rap for “I’m a Celebrity”? Are they going to re-score it? Would we be able to handle that? Don’t through the douche out with the … bathwater. Yeah I could have gone somewhere funnier with that joke… you get the point.
