I still don't see why it couldn't also have been about how modern woman would have coped when cast away...

DustBunnyFarmer · 12/05/2014 19:51

It would probably have made for a more interesting show to have a 2nd island nearby with just women to compare how their approach differed.

And if they had gathered rubbish on the beach, they could have found some plastic sheeting - a fertiliser sack or something - I have seen loads of those washed up on Indian ocean beaches - and done the condensation pit method of water collection.

And had nicer water!

Although you have to do it over night.

(I only saw a little bit of the fire starting/water boiling/scorpion-eating end of the programme, and was screeching 'get in the shade')

Let's see how whiny boy does today.

I would love to do something like this.

StillaChocoholic · 12/05/2014 21:07

Seems like they are still out in the sun when they should really be in the shade

expatinscotland · 12/05/2014 21:11

At least they have learned to wear shoes in the water. Doctor boy seems to have his shit together. Was no one in Scouts?

StillaChocoholic · 12/05/2014 21:16

Yeah I liked the doctors four pronged spear. Good thinking.

CocktailQueen · 12/05/2014 21:18

We have sky plussed this but not watched yet - how much is bear grylls actually on it??

BiscuitCrumb · 12/05/2014 21:19

I really dislike Tony!

teaandthorazine · 12/05/2014 21:24

Am liking rupert even if he does look like one of the village people in that hard hat and shorts...

AtYourCervix · 12/05/2014 21:26

God they are shit aren't they.

BiscuitCrumb · 12/05/2014 21:27

They should have run a separate island in parallel to this with women on. I'm sure a group of women could do better.

DustBunnyFarmer · 12/05/2014 21:32

Who puts a net out in the middle of the day when the fish are so much more visible to predators? Try dawn or night fishing for a start, you numbskulls!

expatinscotland · 12/05/2014 21:32

'They should have run a separate island in parallel to this with women on. I'm sure a group of women could do better.'

Yep. Why I loved climbing, hiking and mountaineering with women most of all.

DustBunnyFarmer · 12/05/2014 21:33

And the rotten fish they all spurned probably would have made excellent bait for crabbing...

DustBunnyFarmer · 12/05/2014 21:35

If the pelicans are there at certain times of day, it suggests to me that's when the fish are shoaling...

expatinscotland · 12/05/2014 21:35

'Let's get a rota here. Two for sticks, two for the fires, two for shelter, two for water, two for fish, two for food on land, and those resting from night watch.' Duh.

A broken knuckle. Boohoo. Tape the bad finger to the other.

BiscuitCrumb · 12/05/2014 21:36

See I want dusty on my island already!

They've not eaten but they have time and energy to masturbate and to pick a fight with some sand. Idiots!

teaandthorazine · 12/05/2014 21:37

Oh god, I really, really don't need to see chubby white man-arse, thanks.

DustBunnyFarmer · 12/05/2014 21:39

See! Night fishing...

StillaChocoholic · 12/05/2014 21:39

Aww look how happy they are. Bless.

qazxc · 12/05/2014 21:39

have they had any training at all? I'm a bit worried in case they come accross the death apples, it's not like the crew can stop them.

expatinscotland · 12/05/2014 21:40

Slice the damn fish open and get its gut out for the carrion.

DustBunnyFarmer · 12/05/2014 21:41

Are they going to keep the fish guts for bait, though? Probably not if they've still got energy for titty/bush talk.

StillaChocoholic · 12/05/2014 21:42

What a lovely conversation. Isn't it nice that men talk about women like that, I can't say I've ever done the same.
