The laydees have their own long-running version of this so I reckon it's about time we had one over here in Testosterone Corner.

For me:

  1. Sarah Cracknell out of Saint Etienne.
  2. Jayne Middlemiss.
  3. Kim Wilde.
  4. Stephanie Leonidas.
  5. Konnie Huq.

What about 1 who is a really good cook, 1 who is a really good singer / musician, 1 who is good at construction, 1 who is a survivalist and 1 who is a stunning good shag?

wouldn't that work better than 5 nice looking women who are all useless and will probably spend all their time bitching about each other?

TheDuchessOfFawkesBride · 20/07/2007 15:56

If you want to get off the island make sure you pack Elasticgirl and Marion Jones

Gee72 · 20/07/2007 16:01

Ah Sleepfinder how do you know these women are 'useless'. They may have hidden talent that you just haven't heard about.

Keira Knightly is apparently very handy with a trowel and Mischa Barton cook a mean Steak and Ale pie for example.

How did the womens lists go? I doubt very strongly the top five were

  1. Antony Worral Thompson
  2. Pavarotti
  3. Tommy Walsh
  4. David Bellamy (sorry, I fall down on knowledge of ugly survivalists, you'll have to have an ugly naturalist instead)
  5. Ron Jeremy

I don't know anything for sure, just speculating levels of uselessness on the basis of their high maintenance "public personas" -

take whoever you like, its entirely your choice.

But I suppose a male top 5 might include:

Jack Black - for a bloody good laugh and a but of soul singing

Ben Fogle - for his brief stint surviving on Castaway (he must have learned SOMETHING)

Gordon Ramsay - for the cooking

Nick something (out of those DIY shows) because he can use a hammer...

Leonardo DiCaprio - because lets face it, he's got to be a splendid shag really...

lou33 · 20/07/2007 16:09

i love jack black

sleepfinder · 20/07/2007 16:10

yes me too - maybe he should be the shag choice?

CatIsSleepy · 20/07/2007 16:15

Gee- re 'ugly survivalists', Ray Mears and Bear Ghrylls appeared on a fair few of the women's lists...wouldn't call them ugly though-
Ray, well not exactly svelte but a nice cuddly chap and Bear not bad and with a name like that, who could turn him down...

not sure who the female equivalent would be though

TheMuppetMuggle · 20/07/2007 16:15
Hmm
Gee72 · 20/07/2007 16:27

Was just kidding Sleepfinder. To be fair though my list did have a practical element (Sarah Beeny) and in theman's defence, he may have been taking Keira Knightly and Jennifer Love Hewitt to rub together to start a fire

I find Leo di Caprio very creepy. I think he's ageing badly.

lou33 · 20/07/2007 16:28

sleepfinder, wrt jb, i so would!

Gee72 · 20/07/2007 16:29

And Nick Knowles is some weird-faced half man / half goat hybrid.

Sarah Beeny's jugs would make a great pillow.

Gee72 · 20/07/2007 16:34

I didn't know she was a potter too. Sounds unconfortable to me though.

sleepfinder · 20/07/2007 16:43

I like goaty looking men, and short fat ones. As long as they're charismatic / funny / clever = very sexy.

Yes, I think Dicaprio is aging badly, I'd only take his 19 yr old self...not the current 30 something one.

Gee72 · 20/07/2007 16:48

What's TMM at?

CatIsSleepy · 20/07/2007 16:59

dunno...she posted after me, maybe she doesn't agree that ray mears is cuddly?

Gee72 · 20/07/2007 17:08

So is Bear Ghrylls pronounced Bear Grills then? Maybe Kate Humble is the female equivalent. She has to put up with Bill Oddie at least, that must feel like wrestling a wild animal. Best be careful, he's short and fat so Sleepfinder probably fancies him.

TheMuppetMuggle · 20/07/2007 17:11

Cat no i don't agree with ray mears as cuddly and certainly don't think Leo Dicaprio would be a good shag!!

TheMuppetMuggle · 20/07/2007 17:12

My Cuddly would be Colin Firth

CatIsSleepy · 20/07/2007 17:13

well I'd take Bill over leonardo any day!

ah the lovely kate...dh likes her...

Pan · 20/07/2007 17:20

Ok. Women for the Island....

1.Mariella Frostrup....so she had read to me whilst I laze in the hammock.

  1. Kirsty Wark...gorgeousssss, and so she can keep me up with current affairs, in slightly lascivious but intelligent manner..

  2. Shilpa Shetty..so I can just gaze at her..

  3. Claudia Winkleman...for lots of very dirty sex.

  4. Nigella...to keep us all nicely fed, and to do the engage in Ugandan discussions, of which I reckon she is very knowledgable...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 17:29

LOL!

Nigella - she can cook
Kim Wilde - she'll be good for growing her own
Paula Radcliffe - she can go for miles and knows how to improvise a toilet
Dawn French - someone who's gonna definitely be bigger than me in a bikini - also very funny (hope she doesnt eat everything Kim grows though )
Sarah McLaughlin - can sing to me for hours

Top 5 men....

Roy Scheider - great in a crisis
Sly Stallone - ditto
Paolo Nutini - can sing to me for hours
James Cracknell - he's fit, and he's fit
Magnus Scheving - ditto
