we are. the one who got the taxi is dreadful.

Keepoffmyartichokes · 30/09/2026 08:16

We love it but I'm not sure why because some of the people on it are truly awful. Sarah who got the taxi is awful, are seems proud that she is a liar. Even in the VT she seems proud of it

MyballsareSandy2015 · 30/09/2026 09:52

They’re not great are they! But I’m hooked 🤣

SPOILER ALERT!

Sarah is a nightmare, so entitled.

On episode 3 tonight she was literally the devil in Shaf’s ear, devious!

Cannot believe that Lucy was upset by Yvonne having had a burger costing the team £400 when she had a spa night for £1500. The woman was hungry, not being pampered and plied with booze!

I’m sure the others in Yvonne’s group weren’t happy with her at the time but they had the good sense not to say anything after their spa treat.

Sarah is awful, she's a terrible person.

I didn't get wasting money on the spa literally the next day you are filthy and sweaty again. I imagine the alcohol would make you feel rubbish as well.

I really like this show. I’ve watched the first two series as well. It’s such an interesting look at human behaviour.

I’ll go against the grain here and say, I quite like Sarah. Perhaps it’s because she’s making the show more interesting. If they all just resisted temptation, it would be boring!

Jimsaidpeoplearestrange · 07/10/2026 10:13

there is always a "baddy" in these shows. (look at the Summit) Sarah is awful, but they pander to her. why pick her for a taxi. it would have been fairer to pick someone who had to sleep in the basic camp.

They were scared that she’d spend on a taxi, the selfish git.

She’s already talking about being helicoptered out of the swamp challenge that the episode ended on.

No concern for anything but herself.

Keepoffmyartichokes · 07/10/2026 11:16

I don't like her as she has taken pretty much every temptation, she clearly doesn't plan on doing the hikes if she can help it.
She took the Greggs treat after getting a taxi! She's just not trying.
She even admitted in one of the VT's she's happy to lie, even in real life.
She didn't want Shaf to take the KFC for his own enjoyment she wanted him to take it so she could feel less guilty about what she has done.
She is very selfish

Agree about Sarah. Shame they can’t vote people out along the way (although she does provide a lot of entertainment). I feel sorry for Shaf and the people who really do need the money. Their best bet is to completely ostracise her if she continues as that’ll make her uncomfortable and maybe force her to leave. Yes, that would cost £30k but she’s spending a lot every day so better to cut their losses.

I thought the spa was actually good value at £1.5K compared to the KFC bucket at £1K. They got food, drinks including champagne, showers, a treatment and a lovely comfy and clean bed and dressing gown.

And was surprised that she couldn’t work her ‘magic’ on him 😂

I’m not sure that value for money is justification for taking a temptation.

You don’t need a spa although it makes you feel better. And there were several of them that took it.

The cheek of the pampered people with full(er) bellies to criticise someone for taking food and the poor value for money shows you the level of selfishness.

Keepoffmyartichokes · 07/10/2026 14:03

It makes me laugh when they say they need it, they don't need it they want it. They need food and water which is what they have 🤣

Maggiethecat · 07/10/2026 15:06

Some people get pleasure from shitting over other people just because they can. All wrapped up in reasons to explain their behaviour knowing full well they’re taking the piss.

Sarah is one of those.

TrackerBar · 07/10/2026 16:20

Sarah is a real manipulative energy/sympathy vampire.

what baffles me is when they take a temptation and exclaim how they ‘really deserve it’ when they’ve done nothing to deserve it!

MyballsareSandy2015 · 07/10/2026 17:38

Sarah is a nightmare … does she have kids, I’d be so embarrassed.

She’s coming at it in a very diff way to some of them financially … she’s late 50s, just lost her parents, presumably inherited some money and still working (not necessarily the case but likely). Most of the others are young and this money would make a massive difference to them. She’s a selfish cow

OP posts:
Maggiethecat · 07/10/2026 18:59

Yep, think she said her mum was quite well off so presume she benefited.

Regardless, just ugly behaviour!

ClimbingBear · 07/10/2026 22:11

I’m just watching episode 3.
I’m so glad Shaf resisted bloody awful Sarah.
He’s so adorable, and she’s just the exact opposite.

I can't warm to Sarah either, but after explaining how she cared for her late mother for years, I can sort of understand where she's coming from. She might appear selfish on the show, but being a 24/7 carer is not selfish behaviour!

SinisterBumFacedCat · 08/10/2026 00:30

Yeah, I agree about Sarah, having done caring for a parent with dementia it changes your priorities and she is probably feels time is precious rather than money. Of course it’s bloody annoying for everyone else!

From what I’ve seen of her I’m taking the carer information with a sack of salt!

Even if her ‘put self first’ attitude derives from a genuine 5 year struggle she is still nasty person.

She tried to seduce Shaf into taking the KFC in order to minimise his criticism of her not because she meant him well although that’s what she was trying to project.

LostThestral · 08/10/2026 14:54

Sarah is truly awful

I don't understand why they didn't get a bargain bucket & just share it between the people that didn't take the spa temptation. Sarah said she would eat some of Shaf's so they must be allowed to share

Maggiethecat · 13/10/2026 21:56

Piss off Sarah! Yvonne is not your servant.

Skatefordinner · 13/10/2026 22:24

I think people need to spell it out to the Sarah type people (well she’s the worst obviously) .

I do agree that the people like Shaf who haven’t taken anything yet should take the odd temptation but it’s the spa plus boat people that are taking the Micky. Pure selfishness. And the blonde girl who took the Greggs (Tierny?) and her constant ‘I’ve done this today so I need it. I deserve it’ .. like no one else has struggled as much as her.

It’s awful off-putting behaviour and I think I’d be more vocal in speaking out. I couldn’t not say more. That said I’m only half way through ep 3… and not watched this before - there is some sort of comeuppance isn’t there for those who have been greedy?

Skatefordinner · 13/10/2026 22:28

Sorry 2k each and they don’t even get their own cabin or bed?!!!
