Made in Chelsea star Taylor was quick to strike up a political debate with Ms Dorries, and the pair discussed the difficulties politicians face in trying to reach a wide audience, with the Tory MP hitting out at her colleagues.
''In Westminster, politicians really have to crack out of this fusty, old-fashioned impression everybody has.
''They think everybody lives in landed estates; everybody's out of touch with real people.
''I think MPs have really got a responsibility given all the bad press we've had recently to get out of Westminster and communicate with people on a different level,'' she said.
Having swapped Westminster for the jungle, Ms Dorries added: ''Yeah. That's one of the reasons why I'm here. Sixteen million people watching this show. That's how politics should be.''
Expressing her wishes to connect with millions of people, the MP said ''popular TV'' is the way forward, and not channels such as BBC Parliament.
She said: ''We just don't communicate with enough people that way. Sixteen million people watch this programme.
''Sixteen million people do not watch Prime Minister's Question Time or Question Time.''
She added: ''The viewing figures of Newsnight are what - 200,000? Millions of people watch popular TV.''
Taylor described the experience as ''the weirdest camping holiday I've ever been on'', while Baker said he ''wasn't expecting to sleep on the floor which is probably full of 19ft tarantulas''.
The Mid-Bedfordshire MP provoked wide-spread anger last week when she left for the ITV1 show without telling her local association or getting permission from the Chief Whip. She has since been suspended from the party.
Back home her family, who have "hijacked" her official twitter account during the series, posted a series of supportive messages on the micro-blogging site.
"Come on mum, you can do this! #TeamNadine #ImACeleb," they wrote to her more than 13,500 followers.
Critics were also quick to comment.
Chris Heaton-Harris, the Conservative MP for Daventry, tweeted: "Wonder how long the bugs will last in Nadine's casket, before begging to be let out?"
Meanwhile, former Coronation Street star and pin-up Helen Flanagan, was struggling at this early stage -worried about rats and frightened of clearing out the camp toilet.
The star complained to Loose Women panellist Linda Robson that she heard a rat and screamed that a bug had bitten her face, and then gave a warning to her camp mates about how to conduct their toilet habits while in the camp.
''No-one is allowed to do a number two while they are here,'' she said.
Other contestants on the latest series include presenter Brian Conley, actress Charlie Brooks and boxer David Haye.
