The Island -Bear Grylls
Discussion
I think the Welshie is a bit short.
Rupert would lamp him.
Saying that, I reckon Saki could dominate as the top dog.
As for the turtle. The blokes were lucky to see it, but they were a bunch of knobheads for going out in the dark chasing invisible caymen.
I did laugh at the jokes about the lame caymen though. Rupert didn't appreciate them. I kept it up.
Poor old Stan who was lame, deaf, arthritic and used to give sweets to the kids. Poor old Stan.
Rupert would lamp him.

Who is Stan? Rupert would lamp him.

Ryan showed up to be a bellend.....again!
I like Rupert. He's simply making the most of the opportunity presented to try and make this a meaningful and challenging experience
If it was up to the others everyone would be lying under a tree eating snails for a month, and then they'd go home. Not exactly pushing the boundaries, is it.

Yucca?
They've been there two weeks and only find a yucca patch now? And then it rots after a day?
Scripted? Nah...but at least they have a picnic bench and a swing. Someone should hang up a 50" frame facing the sea then they'd have widescreen HD too.
Yeah, that Yucca thing was complete bThey've been there two weeks and only find a yucca patch now? And then it rots after a day?

ks ... "We're desperate for carbs but can't find any on the Island. Wait - here's a large Yucca patch, it's the ultimate carb-rich food all our problems are solved. Wait ... after getting enough for one huge evening feast and providing a climax for the this episode's story thread, all the rest have rotted overnight and we're back as we were!".It would have been fair enough to have 'seeded' the Island with the Yucca shrubs in order to be discovered as a food source (like lining the water hole to ensure that there was some water) but this was outright orchestrating events.
I highly suspect that Rupert is a planted actor (they pretty much admitted as much when they mentioned he'd moved to LA to seek work) who has been instructed to introduce some 'Lord of the Flies' story echoes.

Where did it say the yukka rotted in a day?
It didn't.
One day the farmed a load of it and ate it.It didn't.
Next day (or day after not sure) they went back and "disaster has struck" - the yucca they pulled up was rotten.
Very weird - and presumably if it grows in one spot there will be other patches of it
Rupert is a massive dick. Trying to be alpha male then bhing to cameras when it doesn't go his way. Or he's an actor to get a rise out of the group. Program seems scripted at times
Some interesting characters. I think the producers will always pick a group not entirely suited to be a group I.e. Ryan, Rupert.
Maybe the Producers probably thought If they had picked 10 people based on their likelihood to get on with it and survive, they would probably have less entertainment value than it needs for its 9pm billing?
Be interesting to see who they pick as leader.

I think I would like to see the leader elected via 'trial by combat'.
Saki would be forced to fight just to deny Rupert the win.
It would be like some Double Dragon level, Rupes just mowing through the welshie, Ryan, gay lad, then the camp one, then ends up getting destroyed by the Big Boss, Saki.

I looked at his arms when he said that, they looked like string covered with marshmallow. Some fat blokes have serious muscle, he doesn't.Halb said:

It was reported that the production team placed 2 cayman and planted yucca plants on the island as they were concerned there would not be enough for the team to eat. I could imagine that the yucca did not like being transplanted into unsuitable soil and rotted there. Next day (or day after not sure) they went back and "disaster has struck" - the yucca they pulled up was rotten.

I certainly felt Rupert was an actor this episode, but who knows, hunger and stress brings the best and worst out of all people so may well be half real. I do think it's compromised that they do have observers though as they seem to be taking too much initiative.
