Tempting Fortune.. anyone?

[rockingbird]

I'm sat down ready for this one..

James is very uncomfortable to watch.. what an absolute a-hole

Did they vote to make James the leader or did he just assume the role?

I think the split does show how much PEER PRESSURE has changed their behaviour though

I agree a hike with a hangover won't be fun

However they are enjoying NOT having the BULLIES with them so may compensate a bit

Not really. They have all had equal opportunity, its their choice not to take those things and ultimately that's the game.

What the three twats will probably never understand is its their poor leadership, aggressive attitude, and inability to show any kindness that has created this monster of spending that's going to occur. The temptations are being taken essentially out of pure spite at these men berating them and calling them weak.

Imagine caring more about your prize money than some clearly very upset women who wants to speak on the phone to their child or mum? Weakness is being so desperate to prove yourself as a king and to not give away any money that your prepared to watch people around you suffer for the sake of your own pride

I think he kind of said I will be the leader don't you agree and they didn't have guts to disagree

Those lips 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe I'm too old.. they are hideous

I agree

I dont think its because they no longer have the peer pressure, they are just sticking a middle finger up at the twats. Had those men never been in the group I doubt they would take half the things they are probably going to

Thank you - I really must pay more attention!

It might not be exactly a quote of what he said but iirc it was something like that

Yes good point

The whole waffle about them not being able to resist temptation now meant they would be weak in any problems later in life? What patronising fuckwits! They have no idea what challenges these people have already faced in the real world. Carolyne is a trauma nurse ffs.

I thought the same, they just do not do woman any favours at all.

What’s interesting is neither group are behaving like adults we have the self congratulation warriors and the spoilt teenagers breaking the rules. There’s some quiet people who don’t get much airtime I wonder what they are thinking. There seems to be little discussion between the extremes of no temptation at any price and I can have whatever I want without regard to the group. No one comes of out of it very well although it’s tv so genuine acts of kindness and mutual support might be edited out

Loving tonight's episode! Anyone watching?

Yes, l am. Loving it too!

Wish it was on every night, have to wait til Sun night now. I am so conflicted about which group I'd want to be in, but swaying towards the group that give in to every temptation. Saying that I am such a people pleaser and care too much about what others think of me!

Was a great show but it should be on every night. I have a feeling those that are spending up are going to get a proper shock at the end

I was all for team temptation but they are starting to piss me off now too, I think there are some members who would not have gone for the hotel without Carolyn etc immediately saying she was taking it in exactly the same as James pressuring his group not to cave in to temptation. However I think fish n chip boy calling them smug was unfair, most of them looked uncomfortable that he was being so aggressive. But Carolyn repeatedly saying “I will never do this again” to every temptation offered is ridiculous, when she is already in South Africa and that’s the main criteria of every temptation she wants.

I can't stand Carolyn. Absolute idiot of a woman.

It's warped how Team Temptation think. I "need" a pick me up. They never twig that every single person is paying for them to have the pick me up.

It's a simple concept. Don't take a temptation and you 100% win £25,000. That £25,000 is as good as won if you just live basically for two weeks. Every time you spend £1000, youre taking £84 out of every single persons pocket. Every single person whether they want to or not is contributing to you "wanting" something.

This show demonstrates the most fundimental way that the world is broken.

I could have written this, she is awful. They keep saying it's no one's money but it really is and they needed to find some compromise as some are clearly in it for the experience and some really want/need the money.
I am hoping there is some sort of twist at the end to make them realise how there spending has affected everyone's money.
When Carolyn was saying she was taking the hotel for the view, it's the same view for the people camping 🤣

In the first episode I didn't like Lani, she came across as an entitled snowflake.
Now, I am liking her attitude. She really stood up to chip shop lad,
"You are living in James' arsehole" 😂
Also,
"My armpits are hairy, my legs are hairy, my vagina's hairy" made me laugh.

I think the fact that Carolynne is older and possibly on a good pension means she is less interested in the money and more there for the experience.

She might well be there for the experience but others might be there be ause they need the money, for some it is probably a lot fe changing amount whever that's for a house deposit or to finish paying off a.mortgage or paying off credit card bills we don't know. Can you imagine getting to the end and James said the money for him was for a life saving operation for a relative?

Whilst I’m not keen on Lani, I do wonder what I would do in the same situation. They don’t know what’s round the corner, so I’ve changed my mind and think maybe I would take the treats, like they say they are only there once. Would hate to be on James team.
