Jenner has really surprised me, thought i'd hate her, but she's actually okay.
She is so bloke'y though, even down to sitting on the log with her legs akimbo! Most other transgender people I have seen very much want to be like the gender they have assigned to but Jenner seems to maintain the mannerisms of a chap. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose!

Lol, I remarked to the wife last night that she sits like a bloke, she is indeed still very "blokey".

There is no sex appeal this year, no chance of flirting amongst the contestants, and I think that’s a shame. There must be a few younger, single people or recently single people they could throw in there.....? It does make things a bit spicy.


It needs norks too. Not just that great pair of tits that host it.

Yes, we said the same.

I know very little about her (or her family), but apparently she only came out publicly in 2015 and had the surgery a couple of years later. I imagine living 65 years as a bloke results in some pretty ingrained habits.

And many of those as a world class athlete too! Decathlon gold medallist at the 1976 Olympics. Hands the size of shovels!

Also raced at Daytona and Sebring in the early 80s, looks like she was a works Ford driver too: -

Thank goodness there was no reversing nor parallel parking involved.

I thought Ian Wright would be good fun and lively on the show.

He's been misery guts from early doors.

Compare how rugby players behave to footballers do on the pitch.

A guy at work who is a football supporter, said (before this started) he is likely to be an arse!

Originally backed Jenner before the start, bailed out with a (very) small profit and decided to back Minty at a big price. Seems like a decent enough sort so far.

I've changed my mind as to who's the a-hole in the camp. Not Wrighty, it's that Maxwell guy. He could start the proverbial fight in a phonebox. What's wrong with the man? Seems he needs to argue all the time and sulk when he's wrong.

The digging challenge was a bit unlikely. 140ft without any way of measuring (and they were using paces rather than feet) and yet they still managed to dig in exactly the right place. Did I miss something, or was that fiddled?

Do they normally do the letters from home so early?

Feels like the show is winding down to an end when it's still got longer to run.

Something not quite right with that. Reckon they must have had some sort of gps.

Definitely past its sell-by date, unless they can think of new ideas. There's no tension any more - the contestants know what to expect in the way of trials. It's always collect stars from water/tunnels full of critters or eat something nasty. Seems the organisers have run out of fresh ideas. Until the celebrities get faced with something strange or startling they are not going to be tense and afraid, which adds to argument and disharmony.

Normally the hunger causes interesting tiffs, but the contestants are nearly always achieving most of the starsin the trials, and eating reasonably well. Plus surely they all realise that they are not going to die - there will be experienced staff watching every move looking for signs of danger and I suspect the scorpions have had their venom removed.

I think they would have noticed displaced soil which helped them to locate the packages.

Haskell has his moments. Was brought up to be chivalrous but not to let the women speak.

I've never liked Wright for a while, even on MOTD he comes across as a prat. But what really annoys me is that no one, absolutely no one, has tried to wind him up when he's hungry by singing "Who feels like chicken tonight?".
