The Island -Bear Grylls

[Mercury00]

That girl Sammy is a disgrace. Bone idle and speaks like a bloke.

[e30m3Mark]

Can't say I'm all that taken with this series so far. Shame they didn't just leave them there and just pop back next year to see if any survived. The biggest one might well have slimmed to a size 18 by then.

The loudmouth and the lovely nurse should have left the horrible lot, and then see what happens.

I think they will, should be interesting if they do.

I was hoping the "Lilt" would turn out to be a sailor's p*ss-bottle.

I was quite surprised to see that the chav team had at least built a shelter for their fire - still didn't stop it going out. I heard someone delegate nighttime fire watch to someone else, who obviously thought WTF and ignored it in true council fashion.

Couldn't help but notice there seems to be a disproportionate amount of lard in the poor camp, those 2 girls are absolute beasts! I get a little bit of sick in my mouth every time the camera pans over the girl in the pink bathing costume, fking horrendous.

[Halb]

Hopefully this month will be very good for them healthwise

I know the cameras can and do show us what they want and not necessarily what is going on to make it more interesting, but I can't help but think that team Posh are appearing much better than team slob at the moment.
They deal with things in an adult fashion, are organised and showed some friendship to the others which was met by (in private) foul mouthed abuse.
"The fire can suck my cock" was it? I wish it would!

Somebody in the subtitles department must've been having a laugh last night. When the fat one walked along the beach in her bikini the words "thunder rumbles" popped up on screen

I went to school with the girl from the 'posh' team who's a gynaecologist, she's been revealing some interesting information about the editing.

Obviously we know it will be edited to the max to create the largest possible drama, but she was saying when the 'poor' group first came to their beach, a load of the 'posh' ones ran over to greet them, and also trekked back into the jungle to help bring their equipment to the beach.

I'm not saying she is not telling the truth, but she is on the 'posh' teams side. I liked her anyway, she seemed one of the few 'posh' ones who actually achieved something and can do. The reaction of the bloke who might be autistic was clear, but of course, he might be autistic.
When I come to think of it, all of the insults and ad homs might come from him.

Surprised at the reaction when ''Made in Shellsea'' took some food down to ''Benefits Beach'' only to be told where they could stick it. They were doing a genuinely nice thing.

Rich camp bailing out the lazy bone idle one, only to be met with distain and name calling behind their backs. Sounds about right

Indeed. It didn't seem to me that they were being patronising.

Someone mentioned earlier that a wild boar would last them a week. There is extreme humidity on the island, and food doesn't keep fresh for very long, even when cooked. They have to eat anything they catch more or less straight away, so sharing between the camps would seem the obvious and intelligent answer. I still believe the "poor" camp haven't yet realised that they're not going to get government help when things go awry.

I expect they are assuming a Food Bank will soon be available for them.

If it is the same island as last time, there are NO wild pigs on it. It is much too small to support a wild pig population.

There are feral pigs on a neighboring island, left there hundreds of years ago by the Spanish to feed galleon crews, but that one is much bigger.

Lilt is not sold in these parts.

The coordinates of the island are:

8°29'27.08"N
79° 3'34.60"W

Surely the Production team have said that they ensure that sufficient animals will be available on the island, it's just for the participants to find them. I assume that a few piggies are sent on an unexpected holiday just beforehand.

Im no expert on tides/currents etc, but surely the lilt didn’t have to be sold at a local Tesco’s to end up on the beach,
Doesn’t really matter though does it,

No, but it has to cross the Atlantic, travel through the Panama Canal (against the current), then travel to the island, or cross the Atlantic, travel around Cape Horn (also against the wind and current), then make its way up to Panama. And it has to arrive in identifiable and drinkable condition, to someone who knew what it was. Bloody good effort, by that can.
