They are definitely the worst lot ever

Certainly a close call between this lot and the group close to starvation who took the pigs in as pets instead of eating them.

Must admit the piglets were cute. Very odd that there was no mum looking for them - anyone would think someone had left them on the island by mistake. An angry wild pig is not to be taken lightly.

I wonder how much attention Grylls and his staff pay to social media. Everyone and his dog knows the thing is rigged, yet we still get the same old same old every series. He must have a very thick skin.

(Are we going to witness rumpy-pumpy on the beach with Ryan and Lucy clearly having the hots?)

I was gutted RJ left as he seemed like a) a decent bloke and b) the only one capable of doing anything worthwhile to survive independently.

I don't blame him for abandoning that absolute rabble - he should have told Rizzle Kicks bloke to f*ck off and pointed out he wouldn't get lost in the forest because he wasn't thick as mince.

Reckon this lot are a strong candidate for the worst ever bunch on the island.

I really disliked the muslim comedian feminist woman at the start but I've grown to like her quite a lot since she seems to be the only one who can get anything done. Also is she the only one who can swim?

Looks like it, now that Sharon Davies has left. (Iwan Thomas is a bit of a lech - watched her walk away and commented on her figure for a 54-year old, and compared her to his wife - in for aggro when he gets home!).

Thomas has really not done himself any favours on the island. He takes command all the time and achieves nothing. I feel others can swim, but just can't be a*sed. Maybe they think the rescue crew will help them from time to time by "planting" food, so why should they bother? A really unappealing bunch of people - although I have to say Lucy is pretty even without make-up and the usual Towie augmentations/injections/tattoos.

Disappointed by Mark Watson.

<sits on arse>
Yeah, I could go in the sea. I could go in right now. I could. i could go in. I'll go in the sea. I'll go in right now. I could go in.
<still sits on arse>

He lost them all those fish in that shoal.

So he was fked from insomnia etc then, shame we hadn't previously seen anything about that.

Again though, how come they have failed spectacularly to build any beds/shelter? I know now they are too tired, but surely at the beginning, you get eaten alive on the first night then you make a raised bed. Totally crap group. Achieved st all apart from showing how useless they mostly are.

Bear has been a right smug little bellend this season as well. Talking about making tough choices and eliminating weaker folk who're using resources...WHAT RESOURCES?!?! THEY HAVE NO FOOD THEY HAVE NO BEDS AND THE MAN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS ONE OF ONLY TWO PEOPLE ATTEMPTING TO CATCH FISH

Iwan Thomas has decided to be in charge. "Right then, we are ALL going to find food/find water/build a shelter/light a fire" Never mind that he has no clue what he's doing. Why not split the group, so they can fail to achieve several things at once, rather than one at a time?

They all seem to have the attitude of "Oh look, we found half a litre of Tizer! We're on easy street now, let's all have a party!" Why not use that morale boost to actually do something useful?

When you catch a turkey, try looking for something else too. I don't know, maybe a yucca for some carbohydrates?

"Iwan, that turkey was nice. Were there any more?"
"Dunno. We didn't look. I was too busy trying to rush back here to prove what a fking hero I am."
"OK, no problem, we can go back and have a look. Where did you find the turkey?"
"Dunno. I was too busy trying to rush back here to prove what a fking hero I am."

Only Melody seems to have realised that he's fos. Everyone else blindly follows him. Consequently, they STILL have nowhere to sleep, because he's clueless.

There may be an element of editing here, but the fact is that after three weeks, they are all on their arses, and the only person who makes any "I'm in charge" noises is Iwan.

The only bloke who could have made a success of it walked out in the first week when he realised what a bunch of clueless fkwits the rest of them were.
RJ.

[Fatguyhat]

It’s Defo fixed and I don’t think it says much for the “training” they go through as none of them have a clue!!

They know if they don’t get things sorted the rescue crew will come and save them so don’t bother trying

RJ wanted to do it properly with as little BS from Bear's team as possible. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to read a news report in 2 years that RJ has been living as a hermit after watching Primitive Technology videos on a binge.


These lot are useless to not have a bed, a roof, even a substantial fire that doesn't need to be nursed every time it rains. Useless.

[Mcphisto]

Last episode last night, took nearly 4 weeks and 2 nights of standing holding a tarp over the fire in the pissing rain to finally build a shelter for themselves and the fire ....only 2 days before they left! And even then it looked like it was knocked up in a few hours with time to go finding convenient food afterwards.

[croyde]

On the last morning Bear and crew should go silent and we see how the islanders survive another week not knowing what the hell is going on.

Good idea. They really were pathetic. I reckon that baby shark was a "plant". I have a feeling that they never at any point explored the island to find out what was what. No doubt in my mind that there was yucca all over the place, they just didn't look properly.

They needed to do all the heavy-duty stuff early on, when they still had calories to burn, but IIRC the girls sunbathed at one point. In the first 3/4 days, water sourced, fire lit, shelter built. Then look for food sources, they already carried enough inside to get them through the opening 72 hours.

As someone said earlier, surely Grylls' team had talked them through all this?

[Six Fiend]

What a bunch of utter tools!

I saw a couple of episodes prior to Sharon leaving and thought they might buck up.

But no, still no Day 1 shelter! Brainless beyond belief. Incredible magically appearing food at last minute.

Feckless and self pitying bunch.

I got pissed when the pussycat doll woman was ranting about wanting hand warmers and blankets or (cant remember her rant word for word but was something like).......she will get the fk off the island one way or another any way she can, even if she has to swim cause "Im Black!" ...................WTF has that got to do with anything?

Bet they'd struggle to survive a week in Tescos.

Thought they were useless and a waste of viewing time.

[croyde]

OK I know I find a night in a small tent hard but I am sure that on days 1 to 3 you could easily knock up a suspended floor with a decent cover.

Can't believe they laid on the sand for 4 weeks.

I'd build anything that gets me away from the bugs, especially sand flies.

Towie girl looked so much better with out make up.

[ehonda]

I think this season has destroyed any credibility this series might have had. Total farce and BS, wouldn't be surprised if it was all green screened from a studio in Elstree, it was that unconvincing.

The island is called Isla Chapera. It is not especially remote. I can get there in just over an hour by boat. There are no wild pigs on it. There are two sorts of wild pig, but only on the mainland - one of which will eat you, rather than the other way around. There are no wild turkeys either. There may be yucca from an old farm, but unlikely. There are sharks. There are turtles, but they are a protected species. There are iguanas. There is an old well that dates back to pirate times. It was damaged by the TV production people. The first English pirates to cross into the Pacific stayed for a while on this island. There is a narco-mansion with a swimming pool on the island, but they don't show you that bit.

New series started tonight, only recognize Martin Kemp..... Some woman from Emmerdale coming over as an attention seeking cow, think she got chucked out of celeb BB has now left after getting a foot caught in a fishing net, having a panic attack and getting flashbacks at the smell of smoke, in the name of fk
