Haha, I'm enjoying this show but I am a bit surprised at just how useless the women are. They're treating it like a holiday :/ sunbathing ha ha. So far, they would have died of dehydration when they couldn't get the fire going. And then again when they threw away the second jerry can.
Some of the blokes aren't much better though, that Kyle in particular is a useless sod and I would have had him on the BBQ by now if it was a real situation :D
3 episodes of walking back and forth in the jungle, then in circles, was pure comedy. Shelter.....men had a canopy and individual beds.....women, nice open air roof of nothing + bed of sandflies.
shareHa, yes. When they finally got their shizzle together though they knocked up some well nice beds, much better than the blokes. Too bad they would all have been dead by then :)
shareThe women didn't have beds. I remember them sleeping on the sand and getting bit to death. Same for the men, but they did have a canopy shelter (but not the women). After getting bit really bad one night, the men all made individual, off the ground beds. At the end was when the women made that ONE bed, using water bottles as the mattress. Probably because they couldn't cut down enough branches to make a proper frame and mattress.
shareThe one jerry can held 5 gallons of water. Thats .5 gallons for each of them. It took 3 hours to make one batch. If they wanted more water, they had 21 hours left in a day to boil more. It was far to absurd to over look
shareI was pretty disappointed in the women. Apart from Lauren and Jules, they acted as though they were expecting a deserted island to have room service.

But to be fair, I think the deck was a bit stacked in favor of the men due to the choice of contestants. Be it by design or accident, the men had two construction guys and an engineer. And they had guys from jobs in management positions that teach you to take charge and get people to work together towards a common goal.
The women had a hairdresser and a potter.
Let's be honest, imagine you have two islands of men (to take the gender aspect out of it). On one island you put engineers, construction workers and the like and on the other you put hairdressers, artists and software programmers...do you have any doubt that the second island would be just comic relief 24/7?
The women had a hairdresser and a potter.lol Don't forget a doctor and a nurse, they're generally not too silly.
I would love to see some Women's Studies majors in future episodes. XD
But in all seriousness, if there's clay and fire, a potter could be extremely useful.
Don't you mean "Wimmin's Studies"?
In contrast:
I see on the latest one (men and women) one of the women is a farmer, she seems pretty tough and has a mouth like a stevedore too.
And one of the men fell to pieces as soon as they hit the beach, that was freakin' embarrassing to watch.
...then whoa, differences...
OMG! Great idea. Lets do a feminist version to see how quickly they murder eachother! Love it!
But the women are useless on their own. Even in the latest series they are making a mess of it apart from one or two of them. But in series 2 they are utterly UTTERLY useless! The vegetarian was the worst, I mean just go and choke on your convictions you dumb lazy *beep*
They fumble at every turn and there where several situations where they lost important nourishment because they where diddeling around instead of taking action. That group was such a frustrating bunch of clowns! They had no business being on that island
Apart from Lauren, I love her. I'd marry her, she was awesome.
