Bear Grills treasure island

[not-bono-ever]

Anyone watching this?

Premise :the usual survial guff but with suitcases of air dropped cash added to add excitment

Reality: setting up people to be at each others throats and stitching each other up to get the cash

not sitting well with me really

 

[chemn]

Yeah I'm watching it. It's a bit lord of the flies.

 

[Chilli.s]

Do they get to shoot Bear with a homemade bow and arrow?

I’ve been watching it, but I’m a sucker for survival shows

Yep me too. Quite like the novel 'being able to stitch each other up something chronic' aspect . Will be interesting to see if food becomes the higher currency.

I was going to answer this without ever watching it, with something along the lines of... fuckem, I hope they all die screaming. But then I watched it, and...

Spoiler: my views have changed

If that fucking posh cunt doesn't give the money to granny, I'll personally hunt him down and kill the cunt!

I really hope the people that kept all the money to themselves get their money found. They're walking around saying they contribute the most, but actually, the one thats kept them all in decent meals is the plumber lad. Not Earl knobhead of knobington and army boy.

Has Earl knobhead found and hid money? No way! I missed that...just saw the two women stitch the third woman up when they found it.

There was something I was going to say here, but I fully expect Equation Girl to pop out of the virtual bushes and have a pop at me for being repetitive or whatever, so I won't.

I made a comment about how whenever I see someone trying to kick off beef recently on here out of the blue, it always seem to be you. Thanks for reinforcing my point.

I stopped watching these when they did The Island Class War one, did my brain in.

Yes the last one was really horrid. At least in this one it is one group.

But it will end up as two...those with and without money, unless they all agree now to put it in a big pot from the off and share out later. They may have already done that and I've missed it.

*At least this one started with one group.

Some of them have agreed to share.

There's been the suggestion of all keeping money they find and then deciding at the end if they're going to share it out. I think those that want to share should share with each other as they go as then they get the psychological boost.

Anyway. I'm enjoying guessing that the people who don't want to share vote tory.

Another one from the Keith Allen and Roger Mellie get on the gear at the Groucho pitching session

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Watching this now.

Well lord mountbatten starts off seeming like a decent guy but turns out to be a cunt. Who knew!

 

[not-bono-ever]

Shame that the contestants didn’t take collective action to fuck the show over by cooperating on everything and agreeing at the start to sharing the spoils equally. It takes the baiting out of the programme and would be a big fuck you to the shitbags behind it




* applies for next series with sabotage in mind

One thing I noticed about this one, is that they didn't really thrive in any discernible way. After a month they were still sleep on the floor with rudimentary shelters. I do wonder if the lure of money distracted them from working together in quite the same way as previous series.
