Am so excited this is back. Loved it so much last time I came very close to applying for this series but bottled it. Wish I had now, oh well.

omfg
it's only bearable to watch with a mountain of chocolate.

GreenMarkerPen · 11/04/2016 21:59

is their skin so bad because of the lack of food?

motheroreily · 11/04/2016 22:10

I like erica but felt she was a bit snidey tonight.

Glad rob is ok, flip me that was scary

girlinacoma · 11/04/2016 22:12

I think part of the skin issue is insect bites Shock

I only caught up with this last night - was action-packed! Although the editing obviously makes it appear more so

I reckon the programme makers planted that fishing net on the beach for them, it was rather convenient. They may have even left the shark for them? I also think there is a lot more communication between island and support than we see. I am surprised that they are as civil with each other as they are, considering how weak and hungry they must be.

With their lumpy skin, I just think of how itchy they must be.

Is anyone watching now? They've just said this episode contains the slaughter of an animal so I assume they're finally getting some food?

BrandNewAndImproved · 18/04/2016 21:25

I'm watching. The turkey seems really fake imo. It was planted there.

Friolero · 18/04/2016 21:28

Yes, a bit convenient that it just wandered into their camp.

chocomochi · 18/04/2016 21:30

I agree with the fishing net being so convenient there.

I did like Erika but seeing a different side to her now.

BrandNewAndImproved · 18/04/2016 21:55

It's annoying me tonight! Stupid idiots on the rocks you know something bad is going to happen just like when they went to far out in the sea.

Friolero · 18/04/2016 21:56

I don't get why they're not going through the centre of the island rather than round the cliffs?

BrandNewAndImproved · 18/04/2016 21:57

Nor me friolero!

chocomochi · 18/04/2016 21:57

I'm watching thinking how crazy they are on the rocks.

BrandNewAndImproved · 18/04/2016 22:01

They shouldn't of even gone round that way.

SavageBeauty73 · 18/04/2016 22:03

Bloody hell that was stressful.

Poor Paddy.

dimples76 · 18/04/2016 22:04

I could hardly watch it tonight - poor Paddy!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 18/04/2016 22:05

I caught the last 20 minutes. That was a horrid conclusion to tonights episode.

Duckdeamon · 18/04/2016 22:08
Shock

Was he OK? Awful!

Wtf were they thinking on those rocks?

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 18/04/2016 22:25

That was a big fall! Blimey!

GreenMarkerPen · 18/04/2016 22:29

they must be some way away from the nearest hospital.
in the beginning they showed that the inner island is a mix of rock and bog and dense undergrowths, so no easy to get through.

WhoTheFuckIsSimon · 18/04/2016 22:31

They must be close to the island where then producers/Bear/the rescue boat are as the boat can get there quickly when summonsed. Not sure what medical people /facilities there are there.

OP posts:
chocomochi · 19/04/2016 06:52

I wonder whether they have to radio everything they do to the producers, so they can be on standby in case anything happens? Glad the rescue boat and helicopter got there so quickly and before the tide really came in.

Potential spoiler on this link
www.kentonline.co.uk/tunbridge-wells/news/kent-contestant-falls-from-cliff-94499/

I had been watching and then right at the end someone distrated me and so I didn't actually see the fall and the immediate reaction.

NotJanine · 21/04/2016 09:17

I don't know whether to click the link!

I watched this last night and was very tense as they walked across the rocks, knowing that there was going to be a fall. Poor Paddy, I really hope he is ok and after he was having such an awful problem with his bowels and bleeding - sounded horrific.

I think that Erica is so used to being a tough, capable woman that she is struggling with being weak and vulnerable.

I do think that they are all doing amazingly well really.

Do you think they have a regular visit from the support crew to check them out ? They must be going to the island to charge/replace their cameras surely?

GreenMarkerPen · 21/04/2016 09:31

Do you think they have a regular visit from the support crew to check them out ?

I wouldn't think so, that's why they have 2 drs on the island+satelite phone for emergencies.

for the cameras I imagine hunger games style how apt drop off's/pick ups
