Bear Grylls - The Island (C4)

[twentythreedom]

Looks awful

 

[starfish]

I'd rather watch the new Countryfile spinoff but ms starfish is insisting on watching this.

 

[Part 2]

Much as there were suggestions of set ups I enjoyed the last series. No sign of a Ryan this time round at this stage this time round although there's a token old mardarse.

 

[twentythreedom]

Fucking hell, what a bunch of dicks

 

[twentythreedom]

I don't mean you, chip, btw

 

[starfish]

Just me then

 

[twentythreedom]

Just me then

Yeah

What shit telly, waste of a good thread tbh - but it's the laydeez next week! They will Shirley do better than teh menz though

 

[Part 2]

Yeah

What shit telly, waste of a good thread tbh - but it's the laydeez next week! They will Shirley do better than teh menz though

Tomorrow innit?

 

[twentythreedom]

Tomorrow innit?

Haven't checked the schedules tbh

They better do better than the men though, the men are mostly a bunch of dicks

The islands should be mixed gender, what is this segregation business? what purpose does it solve?

 

[DotCommunist]

YES this is back. Everyone on the last one was a grade A bellend

it makes everyone be a cunt to each other quicker and thus: good tele

Can you imagine watching a show where people basically settled down into decency an shared land and labour? it would be fascinating but its not what the show is about

 

[weltweit]

I think a mixed island would show more interpersonal dynamics inc gender politics / tension and therefore be better tv than this.

same thing with the first iteration of the prog weilty- it all goes a bit lord of when theres one gender only. And its unrealistic to tribal survival.

(((Progress)))

 

[clicker]

I love shite like this wondering who of the three calling for a cab will actually leave.. hope that the two builders stay. Touch rainy.

 

[Voley]

Well that was promising. Big puffed up chest macho bollocks right from the off. Half the blokes already want to leave despite not even having tried hunting yet.

 

[Part 2]

They were there a few days at least and there was little mention of what they'd been eating and no-one complaining of hunger.

 

[Voley]

No sign of a Ryan this time round at this stage this time round although there's a token old mardarse.

Ryan was splendid value. Unfortunately the bloke most likely to be like him this time round is the young lad most determined to leave, it seems.

 

[Voley]

Also, the thing about using a pair of specs to start a fire seems to be true after all. I think we had a bit of a heated debate about this last time.

Well I tried with my glasses and couldn't get them to focus the rays at all .. at all ..

I've not watched it yet- it was me who made the bold claim and Spanky Longhorn who guffawed at my idea(s)



was I right after all?

 

[Supine]

Maybe the sun isn't strong enough in Brixton

That young lad was a bit of a dick. These people need to man up!

I think it depends on the type of lenses. Probably reading glasses will work - the type that just magnify.

 

[DotCommunist]

we did this on the last thread- it does depend on the type of specs. Varifocals are out.

anyway I want Spanky to come on the thread and acknowledge that I was right and he was wrong

I'm looking forward to seeing how the women cope compared to the men - especially as it was all men last time. This bunch of men seem much more unpleasant than last year's lot.

 

[DotCommunist]

that barney looks a cunt

 

[DotCommunist]

note they've included a farmer by trade again- gives a headstart on survival if you got a land worker with ye I suppose

 

[DotCommunist]

ah here we go, quality Bear gloat/state the obvious/mocking

 

[joustmaster]

I think my favorite bit was the old man talking about how back home he would just throat punch the guy and walk away.

proper nonsense.
