Anyone else looking forward to this one? After last time I think there a BOys and a Girls island though it is just boys tonight. Roll up roll up anyone who has no idea how to lit a fire or build a shelter whilst knowing they are going on a survival program!

I love it but I would much rather see more of it than these random edits and cuts.

ilovechristmas1 · 14/05/2015 21:39

how lucky are they

did they have a tin opener with them

oh no it will be a ring pull one conveniently

Biscuit they can add that to their "suprise" find

Travelledtheworld · 14/05/2015 21:41

Baked beans 6000 miles from the UK. Just fell off a passing ship eh ?
Hmm

I think Prince Harry should marry Lauren. I love them both Grin.

TheSpottedZebra · 14/05/2015 21:50

Oh please, that leadership thing was a pile of want, wasn't it? The storyline needed it, I guess, for the journey. And I think that Lauren's Atlantic row counted as survival experience, actually.

And the coconut path thing was glimpsed in a previous episode.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 14/05/2015 21:51

I reckon most of what you see was filmed in the first couple of weeks and that they spent the last two weeks just jamming round the fire, eating fish, dicking around with bunting and talking mucky

I can't believe it would take you till the fourth week to get a fucking net sorted (see also: Men's Island)

Tsk

TheSpottedZebra · 14/05/2015 21:51

WANK. It was a pile of wank. Not want.

TheSpottedZebra · 14/05/2015 21:53

No plebeian boat for Bear. No, he gets to manly it up in a manly speedboat. Wow he's manly.

IfMaybeBut · 14/05/2015 22:17

The nauseating greeting line up was unnecessary.

Jacana · 14/05/2015 22:48

That last scene, where they're all on the adjoining island sitting at a long table? There was a dog wandering around stage left. Did anyone else want one of the girls to point at it and shriek "Look! FOOD!!"Grin

I really hope that all that tarting up (and beds made not on the ground) really wasn't done in just the last weekShock

ProfYaffle · 15/05/2015 06:58

"the coconut path thing was glimpsed in a previous episode" And the foam raft thing too.

RedToothBrush · 15/05/2015 07:47

Amazing how perfectly straight timber was just lying around.

ShortandSweeter · 15/05/2015 09:52

Chavala. Beautiful. That is all

HollyJollyDillydolly · 15/05/2015 09:53

Im surprised how the vegetarian girl could survive on just nuts and coconut?

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 15/05/2015 10:27

I'd have 200 times rather been on the women's island than the men's

They had lols

I could repair a fishing net AND weave leaves together to make a waterproof surface. However I look shit in a bikini and I'm not keen on limpets so will not be applying for the next series

Jacana · 15/05/2015 10:56

Julie's weight loss was awful, her neck and shoulders particularly so. And her bra was half empty. I liked Julie very much, a real grafter.

Why didn't the women seem to need as much water as the men, or was their water source nearer to their camp, making collecting it more convenient?

TwartFaceBeetj · 15/05/2015 11:03

I was surprised at how little the women lost weight, barring a couple of them that were skinny when they started and got even skinnier, the rest still seemed heathly, compared with the men who really do look like they have being starving for quite a while.

RedToothBrush · 15/05/2015 11:42

That's because they had magic none rusting floating baked bean tins in the Pacific Ocean. Baked beans being well known for their availability on the Pacific Rim.

Jacana · 15/05/2015 12:55

Especially the convenient ring pull onesSmile imagine if they'd found a hoard of corned beef tins. Even with the key thing I can't always get them open. And yes, I actually like and buy it. Not often, but I do.

ClarasZoo · 15/05/2015 13:24

I am going out to hunt and skin my own lunch now. No wait, I am going to Sainsburys to get some baked beans...

VivaLeBeaver · 15/05/2015 18:33

I'm halfway through the application form for the next series. I've got to do a three min video about why I want to be on the island....so trying to think of funny and witty stuff to say now.

TwartFaceBeetj · 15/05/2015 18:38

Just say you are crap at anything outdoorsy, and are really argumentative,

They stick you in for sure as they'll think you'll make good TV Wink

Seriously though, I hope you can think of something, Good luck!

It would be great to know we were watching a MNer next year,

You'd have to drop hints to us

VivaLeBeaver · 15/05/2015 18:43

They had 40,000 applicants last year! So not much chance of getting on.

VivaLeBeaver · 15/05/2015 18:44

I truthfully am quite argumentative! I always think I'm right. Grin

TwartFaceBeetj · 15/05/2015 18:54

You're a MNer of course you are always right Grin

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Smile
