The Jump

[RedToothBrush]

Anyone?!

[Sparklingbrook]

Why would anyone do this on your front on a tea tray thing?

[bisjo]

I've never seen Coach trip. Is it a daytime show?

[Sparklingbrook]

It's usually on at 5pm/5.30pm. they stick a load of people on a coach for a trip round Europe and they get to vote each other off, and new people join. loads of bickering and bitching. It's brilliant.

[Sparklingbrook]

Here it looks like one may have been on today so it's started.

Why do slebs get to do all the fun stuff? Getting paid to go to Austria for about a month by the time they've done the training, and being taught really fun sports by actual Olympians and experts and that graham very jealous

[bisjo]

I've done an 8 km sled down a dark road near St Moritz and that was brilliant (fast and scary). I think a tea tray would be a natural progression.

[bisjo]

I wasn't paying attention, didn't Amy do the run?

[bisjo]

Doesn't Barry know what 'kph' stands for?

[Sparklingbrook]

Didn't Laura do DOI?

[Sparklingbrook]

9 weeks after having a baby? Why would you do that?

[PeanutPatty]

Because she is insane!

[Sparklingbrook]

This whole thing is insane. Why are we watching? Remind me.

[bisjo]

To see Sinitta do a ski jump.

[Sparklingbrook]

Aah yes bisjo. Thanks.

WTF did you just see the ad for 'Big Ballet'?

[bisjo]

Missed the ad. I assume Sinitta will still do her jump but it won't matter how far she jumps as Amy will be out.

[Sparklingbrook]

Well hats off to Sinitta at least she did it.

[bisjo]

I thought Davina said Sinitta jumped 2 metres not 10!

[Sparklingbrook]

it didn't look very far. but further than I could manage.

[bisjo]

The hardest thing about doing any ski jump (I'm talking the ones that you see on normal ski slopes) is stopping afterwards. At least there that bit is easy.

[Sparklingbrook]

Yes true. How many more of these are there? is it all week?

[PeanutPatty]

I know I watch a lot of trash but I think this might be scraping the barrel. Even for me.

[bisjo]

It's on every night up to and including next Monday (but we get Saturday night off!). It looks as if next Sunday and Monday programmes are 1.5 hours and are on at 9pm rather than 8pm.

[mythbustinggov]

It was all recorded before Christmas, and then the Davvy bits and the Jump itself are live(ish). They were all in Innsbruck for about 10 days in December (I have a very tenuous connection with the production). Will see if I can find out about TPT.

[specialsubject]

really? I thought it was being done each day, but what do I know about reality TV. Does that mean all the slebs are currently in hiding so as not to give the game away?

let's hope Essex bird has to pay her fees back. As noted a lot this morning, if you sign up for a show called 'The Jump' there might be a bit of a clue as to what you are expected to do.

that jump is not trivial unless you are a professional ski jumper.

[checkmates]

I think the real buzz seems to be in the danger.
