She might've seemed a little 'off' when the men first turned up, but she was ultimately right about how the dynamics changed. Oh I like her, don't get me wrong, but I've worked with women very similar to her and they are TERRIFYING if you piss them off or get on the wrong side of them. Fortunately for me I got on with them but they were amazing to watch when people got on their nerves. Also this is her absolutely having an awesome time.  Turns out she's been in the media quite a lot before.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHUny5i4544

I'm sure if I was on the island with her it would drive me nuts, but at the same time I'd probably have a bed and a shelter as well, so that's what you want. I need to get a screengrab of Simon's face after she built a bed because that was some sweet justice. That weird quasi-romance with Alice was a bit strange though seeing as it had no real payoff.

She's my favourite. DrVenkman posted:"there's about 2 good ones there compared to our 8". That was hilarious. Mate, your camp has Riz in it. Also, you are in it. The definitive 'lad' there. Absolute waste of space bottom feeder thinking he's a top boy cuz an accident of conception put him in the same group as a doctor and a handsome chef.

Just watched that section again to get those and loving hell, he's such a patronising dick. Bossing them all around like 'GUYS if you want to talk put your hands up GUYS' And being really rude to Erika when she goes off to fish 'Remember the prime objective is to catch food not have fun *smirk *smirk*amirite guys*smirk' He's like a horror version of David Brent and Buster Bluth.

Riz decides to leave The Island. Despite being incompetent, opts foremost to blame his departure on the women for wearing bikinis.

I'm also curious if all the flora and fauna are native.

Yeah the one in first season was created, and I think there was also something about the pigs being planted. But one of the crocodiles they caught in that season was native and turned out to be an endangered species, or protected

Cuz if there wasn't one, they'd start dropping like flys.

It wouldn't be a very good show if they all had to leave after a week because everybody was dying. I don't feel as though having a few animals and some drinkable water put there beforehand really makes any difference, it just means that they can actually make the show without having to call in a rescue team

goatface posted:Competency would make for bad television. I dunno, I watched NAKED AND AFRAID which was not quite as dumb as it sounds, they had people on there who knew their stuff and it was still very compelling, it got more into the group dynamics and how people interact with each other on an extremely basic level. It was also good coz they were all dropped off separately but nearish to another person they could potentially meet up but also potentially not, and if they did it was only in groups of 2/3- it meant some groups barely interacted with each other, or if they did finally meet up had formed 'tribes' and were hostile to other groups they came across (a bit like the girls/boys thing except there wasn't such a gender divide). It was a really cool programme.

I've finally made it to my first proper documentary on British TV. On May 3rd BBC 2 will broadcast The Conspiracy Files: Who Shot Down MH17?. where you can see me trying not to shiver with cold in an unheated empty factory with a floor covered in dedicated animals during the November last year. I looks like part of the documentary will be me making my various claims about MH17, other people claiming the opposite, and the BBC going out to Ukraine to test the theories. Will I be proven wrong, or will everyone else be shown to be crazy conspiracy theorist? it's the latter

My friend just reminded me of that ridiculous 'John Snow smokes dope' experiment that C4 did. Except they did it in the most ridiculous reefer-madness esque way by giving him some super-skunk, which is like a kids first drink being a multipack of Special Brew.

WeAreTheRomans posted:And they gave him some kind of weird balloon which held like a cubic metre of puff. Felt bad for him but it was definitely idiotic Ha yeah I forgot about that. It's the thing that real potheads use, as in people who have smoked for years and can handle it. I remember Gogglebox covering it and the one fella asks 'why don't they just give him a joint?'. He did an AMA not long ago and remarkably he still stands by it and says it proves to him that cannabis should remain illegal. Even when we went to Amsterdam the guy told us to stay away from Skunk unless you're a seasoned smoker and don't want to ruin your night.

I think they wanted to try to get to an unexplored bit where they might magically find a food supply, rather than go through thick jungle where they've already been and found gently caress all. It was utterly stupid, though. Also, how annoying was Erica in that episode? Christ, what a cow. I'm a Tilly fan after seeing her give Erica a well deserved earful. And that shot of her walking towards the camera with her hair down

What a rollercoaster episode for Paddy to go from the triumph of latching onto a girl he can actually flirt with and murdering a turkey and eating its face to the nadir of making GBS threads blood and spilling his rear end off a cliff-face Also to add insult to injury Bear loving Grylls getting flown out there to do to-camera segments about how recklessly dangerous it would be if the islanders were to try and traverse the shoreline as if he is the loving safety Oracle and not just retroactively distancing Channel 4 responsibility from the money-shot footage of an emaciated student breaking a 30-foot fall on a rock that they've been trailing for weeks

It was like the beginning of a casualty episode, you knew bad poo poo was gonna go down, you just didn't know when, and it had that deliberate "poo poo could go down here, or here, or here" feel to it.

I couldn't believe they thought that would be the better option. That Doctor was truly Alpha-maling that trip and totally hosed up. Hopping over rocks and 'scouting' (ie showing off). I sincerely hope that dumb-rear end chicken head'n'bone eating kid is ok though. That looked like a long fall.

Stepping in because someone is dehydrated, starving or poisoned is possible. But you can't stop someone falling to their death.
