Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls

[LittleBigPlanet]

Started last night on C4 at 21:15. Did anyone else catch it?

Line up as follows:
-Lucy Mecklenburgh - ex-Towie cast member
-Ryan Thomas - Coronation Street star
-RJ Mitte - Breaking Bad actor
-Iwan Thomas - Olympic sprinter
-Melody Thornton - former Pussycat Doll
-Jordan Stephens - Rizzle Kicks rapper
-Mark Watson - comedian and radio presenter
-Shazia Mirza - writer and comedian
-Sara Kayat - TV doctor
-Sharron Davies - Olympic medalist and BBC swimming presenter

Turns out that Iwan Thomas is incredibly annoying and pretty hapless.

I saw it, it's just the same old same old again isn't it?

[Doofus]

Iwan Thomas is acting like a complete tool, but that Ryan chap is a fking tt. Constantly screaming "Look at me! Pay attention to meee! Without an audinece, I'm a nobody!". Get a grip, and trying being a grown-up for a change.

I suspect R J Mitte is borderline loony. I don't think it's an act for the cameras.

Same old same old. After 3 days they have no fire, no shelter, no food. Happens every year. Welsh athlete is a control freak but seems to have come to his senses after a series of failures. Fallen trees are there for a reason mate - they're rotten.

TOWIE girl is very pretty. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

He's got a bit of speech slur too, sounded drunk or high.

The ex-Corrie guy is a drama queen, writhing around in agony with a bit of cramp and some bee stings.

He has cerebral palsy (like his character in Breaking Bad).

Interesting guy, interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc-cbcJVw00.

Not sure if serious. You do know he has CP?
Despite that he does drive a cool car

We enjoyed it. The celebs are a bit above the normal reality stars you get on BB.
It was funny to see the alphas put in their place by a woman

[lucido grigio]

They were arguing about 5 minutes into it so not looking good for the long term .

Won't be watching any more,I'm out !

Editted auto correct stupidity.

Had no idea.

[AshBurrows]

Made me chuckle when the doctor said something along the lines of:

"I'm a doctor so I can tell you that if we don't drink water we will dehydrate and die"

No st love.

Running bloke is a tit and the fella with cramp is a pathetic melt. Not watching anymore as was incredibly lame.

That doesn't necessarily preclude somebody from being drunk or high.

Ryan Thomas' brother was the same when he was in "I'm a celebrity" - screaming like an 8-year old girl when he saw spiders. Maybe it's genetic !

I didn't know about Mitte's CP, and now realise it explains his speech and droopy mouth. Still think he's more than a bit odd though - like he's spaced-out to some extent.

A real shame to see RJ go - the rest are the most ineffective bunch of morons I've ever seen.

[Doofus]

Last week I said how much of a tt Ryan is, but fk me, Iwan is a selfish, self-centred delusional cock socket.

My opinions are not necessarily those of Haymarket, even though they are correct

[stuartmmcfc]

I don't blame RJ for going at all.
He was the only one who had the "right stuff".

This in spades. They've glossed completely over the fact that they've managed to go 8 days without boiling water yet are still somehow alive. Haven't seen anyone fishing.
The row about catching the croc was highly amusing 'Stop telling me to do it the way we were trained', bellends.

I spotted someone drinking water before they'd lit the fire. Poor continuity I suppose.

I think this lot could be the worst ever on this show. They had to be shown how to cut away the damp wood on the outside of timber to get to the dry bit inside! Long after RJ had left someone realised there was rain water in his collection bottles - WTF did they expect to find in them after a heavy monsoon storm?

The only thing in their favour is the probability that the filming is edited to make them look a bunch of twunts, because that makes for better viewing. I honestly don't believe that they went 8 days without water. Nigh on impossible.

They are definitely the worst lot ever also think it is the worst series in the way it's put together, just comes across as a big advert for BG branded products.

No shelter, no fishing, no hunting, no fire, no significant problems, just look at this Bear Grylls machete!!

Re: the water.
In the first episode they were dying of thirst even though they (the women) found the spring because they couldn't boil it.
" Luckily" that night there was a storm and rainwater was collected and this doesn't need to be purified. Next day Ewan still wanted to build a shelter, despite they still not having fire. tt.

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