Islands are in the Pacific so they say, yet Bear says that they are 5000 miles from the UK???
It is filmed in the Pearl Islands, which are about 30 miles from Panama City and about 15 miles from the nearest mainland. On a clear day with binoculars I can see them from my apartment!
Nice place for the weekend, if you can put up with all the 'survivalists' messing up the place
The women's island is a total joke. I haven't seen last night's episode yet, so I just watched them catching a sedated pig. This whole thing is a sham, several weeks in, moaning about having to sleep on the floor and not building beds? Everything seemingly being mysteriously gifted to them etc. And not a hairy armpit in sight!
That Lauren bird is a hottie though.
The men's island is a lot better watching, as they seem to be having to put some graft in. That lazy black lad needs to have a word with himself. Also, that "chef" saying that if you told a chef that cooking for 11 people was easy they'd "stab you in the eye", what a div. Pretends he's working his arse off when he is only sitting by a pot, stirring it occasionally.

Here's a question, what does the thick vegetarian lass eat? She can't have survived off yucca and coconuts. I'm sure I saw her eating limpets in another episode. She certainly doesn't look like she is wasting away.
This is a f
king horror show. One woman fishing, badly, a few sleeping after working through the night and everyone else sunbathing. Wtf?
And the idea of "preserving" meat by putting it in sea water and half burying it. Er, it doesn't take a genius to know that isn't going to work. I'm sure Bear wouldn't have taught them that in his survival school. I did get a laugh when they decided to eat it anyway and got explosive diarroeha and that one lass who showing off her st-stained kecks where she'd bombed them out with high-velocity foetid pig turds.

t-stained kecks where she'd bombed them out with high-velocity foetid pig turds.They do look remarkably well looked after, the Scottish lass looked like she was covered in Ambre Solaire when she was sunbathing, and not one of the girls have horrendous zits or patches of dry skin that you might expect, and as somebody else pointed out, not a hint of stubble on legs, armpits etc.
And with regards to the jerry can incident, they were shown scouring the beaches for hours/days looking for a suitable boiling vessel, and I find it very hard to believe that not one of the ten said 'Do you know what, bks to this, I'm going to get the jerry can that's just over there'
It's all very strange.

They must have a big stash of sun cream (this goes for both islands) as if they didn't, they'd be sunburned to fk within days and wouldn't be able to move. Not to mention the long term health risks of 6 weeks in tropical sun with no skin protection. That Lauren bird was quite clearly wearing sun-protecting lipstick in the latest episode, so they've obviously got cosmetics and just been told not to show them on camera, or the production team edited around them.
I'm watching the latest episode as I type, what a surprise that as they reach the point of sacking it off for medical reasons, it really becomes quite clear that the jerry cans were a gift from the production team. It's embarrassing that they had to explicitly tell them to use the second jerry can again. Are they fking thick? If they're concerned it's rancid then sanitise it by boiling water in it, build the fire up and flame the bottle-neck etc.
They're really not doing as well as men. I'm amazed they haven't thought about building beds either.
I've just seen the shot of Lauren drinking a bottle of crystal clear water - how did she get that when everyone else looks like they're drinking muddy puddle water? And did I see condensation on the outside of the bottle?

Especially in a couple of shots there was clearly a metal oil drum that may well have been holed, but surely would have been useful for something, that they just ignored.ks to this, I'm going to get the jerry can that's just over there'In my OCD world, I'd have been spending a few days tidying up the beach rubbish and sorting it into piles of useful/potentially useful stuff/absolute junk.
Disappointed in the women's island, I was expecting them to embarrass the blokes, and show it's not all about playing jungle soldiers, but they have really failed to gel, show any common sense and fit into a rhythm of island survival. It could all be editing of course, as the men have not been that amazing.
The editing is a bit annoying, as they do follow a storyline which may be completely different to how it actually happens rather than have a diary account of life over the 6 weeks.

If any of you want to do this stuff for real it can be arranged, a friend of mine runs such courses and was Bear Grylls' adviser when he was over here... But, you won't be on a beach and you won't get any piglets provided.
Tell me more...I'm interested rather than interested in actually doing it!
I reckon the rancid jerrycan was quietly switched for a clean one by the production crew.
Apart from the lack of beds and shelters, it doesn't seem to have occurred to the women to look for another fresh water supply. They initially found a waterfall but that dried up, yet it doesn't seem to have occurred that if there's one, there could be another.

This.
I'd be mightily miffed if I had gone out in the last round of auditions and see 3 people wanting to go home in the first show.
I just found out last weekend that this happened to a friend of ours; the old bag who whinged out last week with a bad back had made an empassioned plea in the selection process so was kept instead of our friend.I'd be mightily miffed if I had gone out in the last round of auditions and see 3 people wanting to go home in the first show.

This program totally fell apart when the "passing fishermen" delivered a load of grub to the island. What a complete joke.
Load of grub being 1 fish in the 6 weeks for 10 people...The women definitely have it a lot easier than the men and are STILL f

You mean as well as the two tame piglets and the tranquilized older one?

Aswell as the unseen cosmetics, water, multivitamins etc etc. After 4 weeks they should be showing signs of vitamin/mineral deficiency (scally skin, skins sores, swelling etc), they aren't.The women definitely have it a lot easier than the men and are STILL f

Remember the first couple of episodes? The useless tts can't wander 30 yards from that beach without getting lost and going around in circles in the jungle for 3 days.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
