Celebrity island, is it a sting ray, stone fish, jellyfish sting? No! It's cramps.

Any one ready for this series? First episode is already funny. Probably the funniest one yet

I am catching up on it now. I feel sorry for the way they have just treated rj. That's was not nice. The some of the men are still being dicks

Rj should be the leader and not iwan

They over looked rj's abillity and how they spoke to him made me cross. If they listened to him from the beginning, I think they would be in different position.
Love the women. They are great with lots of skills. The men trying to prove themselves while letting everyone else down.
This episode has really annoyed me. I have never been so pissed off at a group of men throwing their weight about.

What were they doing to RJ?

ellenanora5 · 08/09/2017 02:17

"I heard someone say cayman, is it true" chucks something on the ground, "I have to do this, its what I came to the island for"

Christ on a bike, he's only short of declaring himself He-Man

He's a gobshite

As for Ryan, what a spoiled little shit he is, exactly like his brother.

ellenanora5 · 08/09/2017 02:24

purpleme12, they didn't like the fact that RJ knew what he was doing, he was the only one with any sense, he couldn't understand why they were all moaning and complaining but doing nothing to help, Iwan said there's no point lighting a fire because they had fresh water, RJ said they needed a fire anyway, but no one would listen to him, also he built shelter for them and collected water during the night, basically he showed them up Smile

tiffanysfanny · 08/09/2017 09:55

Never once did we see other three men try and make fire. They had the strength but where focused on other macho things. Rj knew what to do but I don't think he had the same strength as iwan. I guess bending down and making fire was beneath him.

For me it was how they treated a disable person. He asked the rizzle kicks lad to help him go into the woods and he patronised him. Stating how it's not pretty. But rj has constantly through the show has stated how out doorsy he is. How patronising was that. He was the most out for person among them all he also would have gone, but the rule was you go off in pares.

Iwan being the one suffering the most in the night and being saved by one of those they looked down at.

To a degree I am glad he left. I bet next week the teepee will still be standing and the only thing to sleep under. Grin

I was loving it till Rj left made me properly sad Iwan is a total arsehole men must make house well just 1 man ay Iwan your 4 were useless ARSE sorry im RJ bitter Grin is that Ryan him that was in imaceleb or is that his brother?

AltheaThoon · 08/09/2017 14:45

I was gutted when RJ left too. He was positive and practical - a great person to have with you on an island.

I agree with everything you've said about Iwan. Omg when they TD him about the Cayman and then his 'I don't even feel bad' attitude afterwards. And the way he walked into camp with it over his shoulders 😕

AltheaThoon · 08/09/2017 14:46

TD? Told.

AltheaThoon · 08/09/2017 14:50

I have to say, I found Sharon's 'I feel sad but it was him or us' comment a bit Confused too. Not really Sharon. Yes, they're hungry, but they'll never starve to death on a TV programme. And the poor thing was probably planted there anyway (along with the pineapples!). And before anyone asks, yes, I do eat meat but I don't like to see it hunted in such a clumsy way and then sat on and killed. At least it was killed quickly (when they finally caught it!). Shame it didn't take a wee bite out of Iwan's arm before it's fateful end!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/09/2017 14:52

I'm watching, the whole family does we love it!!

Not sure about RJ tbh, seemed all down to earth and huge knowledge of the outdoors but leaves in a strop when he doesn't get his own way? Confused how is that any better than any of the other alpha males beating their chests and wanting to lead? I was a bit disappointed tbh. The way they patronised him was shocking and ds pointed out there might have been a lot more of that that was edited and he'd just had enough.

I like comedian blokeSmile

Lucy and Cramp Boy? Give me strength,how bloody predicable was that? [hmm

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/09/2017 14:53

The way they were grabbing that Cayman's tail was appalling,they were lucky to not get bitten. Sharon got her point across about doing what they'd been shown quite well I thought.

ellenanora5 · 08/09/2017 14:59

MrsJayy, his brother is Adam he was in I'm a celeb and was as much as a tool as Jason is on the island.

MrsJayy · 08/09/2017 15:20

I don't think RJ left in a huff as such i think he could see how it was going to go and he couldn't be arsed with it so left.

tiffanysfanny · 08/09/2017 15:33

Not sure about RJ tbh, seemed all down to earth and huge knowledge of the outdoors but leaves in a strop when he doesn't get his own way? I think it's because he asked for help and they didn't listen to him. They would have been able to do it if they had used their strength, making fire instead of try to put two sticks together making so thing that does not resemble a house. With his disability, he didn't have as much strength as the others. If you listen to him, he does say, how he tried to get them to do things and it took outsiders to get them to listen.

They might have followed his instructions when they were at their worse. It should not take hitting rock bottom for them to be able to listen to him. Who knows. They probably did because the iwan was busy shivering, borderline hyperthermia, stopping him from throwing his weight about.

I just think it will be pants without RJ he would have kept them alive

AllTheWittyNamesAreGone · 12/09/2017 21:28

Anyone still watching.

I'd of slapped Jordan

FroodGloriousFrood · 12/09/2017 22:04

Jordan is dreadful. If he says how creative he is one more time...

AllTheWittyNamesAreGone · 12/09/2017 22:05

'Can I have your knickers' urgh

FroodGloriousFrood · 12/09/2017 22:09

Is Shazia really the only one left able to swim?

MaroonPencil · 12/09/2017 22:17

There's a lot of learned helplessness there, isn't there. "I can't tidy up, I'm no good at it." "I suppose I could fish, but you are so much better." "I can't fan the fire, I'm no good at it." It's infuriating.

JaneJeffer · 12/09/2017 22:20

Shazia is amazing. The men are useless but I like Ryan.

purpleme12 · 12/09/2017 23:31

I liked it at the end when Shazia said as a Muslim and Asian woman there's always been a limit put on her as to how much she can do but she's proven she can do anything she wants to do now

Olinguito · 13/09/2017 13:27

Finding that good as new massive fishing net was rather contrived!
