The island with Bear Grylls

[susiedaisy]

Anyone watching??

Ah, it wasn't prancing or wanking.
It was the other one - 'talking about having a shit'

Can't wait to watch next week

Yep, Preciousbane - and we've found Piggy too.

Haven't read the thread, but I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised so far with the mind set and general positive attitude these dudes are displaying.

In a survival situation in an extremely hot climate, I wouldn't kill the animal until I was able to immediately butcher and cook it, as awful as that is.It wasn't nice to watch and I was squirming, but if you are going to kill an animal you damn well make sure its going to be eaten.

I've just looked this out to say I think they should have killed that poor croc immediately.

They were starving hungry and were going to cook it as soon as they got back to camp so I don't think it would have had enough time to spoil.

Cruel.

Marking place. Need to watch last night's first.

I wish they would make it a bit more family friendly as my 9yo loves it, the swearing doesn't trouble me to much but when they started talking about 'tittys' and 'wanking' it was a 'night night' for dc :(, shame as it had the potential be a great family programme!

Totally agree with you Belle. My 9 year old and 7 year old are desperate to watch it but after last night's episode I have deleted it off the planner.

I assumed that they picked some men that are pretty useless, so that they have a show.
If they picked some sensible ones, well no point really.

I am loving the sheer disorganisation of most of them. Would you not know that a dead fish lying on the sand isn't going to be fit to eat. There seems to be a lot of lying around not really doing anything

Oh and don't you think the producers must have rubbed their hands together with glee when they signed up the many call handler one??!

I'm glad there's a thread on this.

Agree completely about wishing it was a bit more child-friendly - I let my 12 year old watch the first 15 minutes, promised I'd record it so he could watch it today - but there's not a cat's chance in hell. Of course they're going to swear a bit; I just wish they'd been a bit more heavy-handed in the editing.

What I like about it is that they all seem like a nice, relatively normal bunch of blokes - I want them to succeed.

That should have said moany!!!!

I did feel that with it's legs broken(?) behind its back, it was a bit too much not killing it earlier.

I'm actually quite surprised it hasn't caused more of a stir especially given the furore when one of the contestants on I'm a celeb killed and ate a rat.

I think there's plenty of material there for good TV without gratuitous cruelty.

I have to say that it did appear that the poor animals limbs were twisted behind its back.
I was kind of hoping I'd seen it wrong, and that it was done without inflicting pain on it.Since they knew how to kill it properly, I had hoped they had also learnt in their pre programme survival training, how to transport it.Maybe not.

It's preying on my mind now

They were desperately hungry by the time they caught those fish - why didn't they cook and eat them immediately?

Very odd.

I just watched it. I also can't work out why the fish weren't eaten immediately if they were so ravenous?

Also I personally was v impressed with the 2 blokes who caught the croc. I couldn't have held my nerve & jumped on it's back. Fair play to them.

I think the fish had been caught in the net during the night, so died several hours before the men were able to collect them.

Yes, they were caught overnight in the nets, then I thought they got them out of the nets - and sea - in the morning...and then by the time they had them all wrapped up in banana leaves on the fire, it was night?

Oh, I see, sorry. Hmmm, good point - maybe the sun goes down very fast there?

I was impressed with the actual trapping and catching of the caymen, and they seemed to butcher it very efficiently once they had deaded it, too.
