Bear Grylls - The Island (C4)

I'm not watching a celebtity one unless they have to endure voted by the public torments like on get me out of here
 
Quite enjoying Dom Joley......
He seems quite good at keeping their spirits up by arseing about. I can see why they made him the leader.

Bloke off Made In Chelsea throws himself into it, surprisingly. Usually ends up in tears, admittedly, but he's usually leading the expeditions to find water etc. Enjoying this as ever. It's one of my favourite totally pointless TV programmes.

Bear Grylls has done some excellent Stating The Fucking Obvious already and I'm only one episode in.
 
Dom Joly continues to amuse 'leading' by sleeping a lot. Next weeks looks promising with the hotel bloke going full dictator.
 
I'm only watching it to see Karen Danczuk (?) come a nasty and unphotogenic cropper of epicly embarassing proportions. Uncontrollable bowel movements would work.
 
I've only heard of two of them, both the comedians. Vaguely aware of that bloke from the hotel, possibly. :hmm:
I fucking hate that hotel bloke, he's such a dick. Even thinking about him is making me a little bit angry.

Ollie is brilliant. Completely useless in many ways but just so chirpy and lovely. [emoji4]

I couldn't really watch the fishhook thing, I just heard the screaming. [emoji15]
 
Bloody hell, didn't take long for the poshoes true colours to shine through did it?

''We could send them food parcels.'' ''These aren't my sort of people.''

And the cold shoulder they gave the others just for going up and saying hello. They'd decided they hated them before they'd even met them.

I did like the petulance of the 'I'm a born leader' type when the working class girls got the fire going first though. He took it as some sort of personal insult. :D
 
Nuts wasn't it? Normally when the two groups meet there's hugs and stuff. There's sometimes a bit of a discussion about more mouths to feed but everyone recognises that there are more people to hunt/gather. This lot immediately saw the less well-off people as a drain on their resources. I don't want to read too much into a reality TV setup but it's pretty grim all round really.

Be ace if the working class group thrive though. :D
 
These programs are all the same. Initial personality clashes and people not wanting to be told what to do. Then moving on to active people versus lazy people.

The working class group are screwed because they have too many fat and unfit people.
 
Having watched this through my fingers from behind a cushion I have decided to swim the pacific and kill every single one of these horrible fuckers with fire

What was the recruiting brief? Find the most objectionable arseholes you can?

We are moving closer to real hunger games/lord of the flies reality TV and they all deserve it
 
They have to make it dramatic. Group of people having a reasonable time, some hunger and hardship, but get on with it and learn some things = boring tv.

To keep the format alive they have to go for the crassest, most objectionable mix. It's a sign that the show doesn't have that much longer to go.

I actually would watch a series where they got a mix of joe and jane normals from a cross section of society and then followed them building a sustainable community. (primitive communism within two weeks min, betchya).

Although it does need a Ryan anyway.

In a community with limited tools and resources, and close to starvation, it would certainly be communal. The issue is always about how to distribute the economic surplus when there is one.
 
I saw this being advertised and after watching the last celebrity one decided I didn't want to submit myself to watching the same human failures again. Especially with the class situation thrown in.

What I have seen you lot say doesn't make me any more enthusiastic.
 
Anyone watching the celeb version?
I can't believe a WHOLE PIG actually walked into their camp of its own accord, came back again, accidentally died, AND THEY STILL DIDN'T EAT IT!! This from a veggie of 15+ years. I think they all deserve to starve to death because of that. Bear Grylls will have permanent hand prints on his face from all the face palms.
 
is it wrong that i pissed myself laughing when the 'we mustn't kill the pig' bloke, err.. killed the pig by entrely forseeable accident?

what a massive twat.

(i have no idea who any of the slebs are - i think a man with a grey beard was on men behaving badly 30 years ago, but apart from that i'm utterly ignorant of the world-wide fame of any of them...).
 
The Ark Fleet Ship B of “reality” TV shows.

In the ongoing rebalancing of karma I’m given to understand that next week nature attempts to eat him.
