Anyone else watching the above? I know its trash tv, but I look forward to it every year. My husband cant bear to be in the same room while I’m watching it!

I liked Ant and Dec’s joke later saying Jordan had made a mistaky in his pronunciation!

Poor Jordan, he’ll not be allowed to forget that one for a while.

Yes "shit take" mushrooms - ????sweet boy.....

Pittcity Thu 19-Nov-20 22:59:21

I am loving Jordan.
Never heard of him before but he is a great role model for sensitive men.

And "shit take" mushrooms was hilarious.

Mr R always says he would do anything but the eating ones and I would do anything but sn**kes - heights - coffins - insects down my knickers - Oh! not much left for me. Good job they never ask to go on the show - not yet anyway! grin

my husband loves it, I cant cope with the eating bits so I'm getting lots of lovely cosy early nights

Oh yes, Crystal Maze Vintager. It is a bit like that.

Sorry, don’t know where “driver” came from.

mbody Wed 18-Nov-20 09:40:27

First time I’ve ever watched it and used lockdown as the driver excuse!! I’m totally hooked!!!

Jane10 Wed 18-Nov-20 09:37:29

Ant and Dec are such cheeky wee things. They always cheer me up far less the contestants.

wendyann23 Wed 18-Nov-20 09:35:12

Love it! It made me laugh and I really need that escapism at the moment.

henetha Wed 18-Nov-20 09:21:58

Watching anything that cheers me up at the moment, and this does. They seem a nice lot this year and I'm loving it.

Grannynannywanny Wed 18-Nov-20 09:11:46

I’m enjoying it. Good escapism and distraction from worries for a while. I did cringe at Shane Ritchie’s account of his evening spent go-karting with Tom Cruise and how the waiting paparazzi were there for him not Tom as he was in the middle of a high profile from Coleen Nolan. Seriously??

Anyone else concerned to see them washing the raw chickens under running water at the well??

Vintager Tue 17-Nov-20 23:33:16

I watch it every year and am enjoying seeing a new setting (although I see a resemblance to Crystal Maze).
I like seeing the relationships develop too and don’t mind the trials. Ant and Dec are hilarious and I love their banter. Looking forward to seeing what else unfolds. Needing the escapism to be honest.

I watch it. Quite entertaining.

Ellianne Tue 17-Nov-20 22:32:44

Yes Hetty, I find myself laughing with them, as well as at them in a nice way!

Hetty58 Tue 17-Nov-20 22:28:42

Ramblingrose, your comment reminded me of Margot in The Good Life ('Why is it funny?'):

'If I am missing something feel free to let me know, including why it's entertaining.

I find it a laugh, along with Gogglebox. Laughter is very good for you.

I've heard of the singer Russell Watson. I think he had a brain tumour and nearly died? Never heard of the other person. She might not last long because Bev has established herself as the matriarch.

Galaxy Tue 17-Nov-20 22:22:39

I am quite liking bev.
But why are they bringing in two people no one has heard of. Usually the last two are well known or controversial.

Ellianne Tue 17-Nov-20 22:20:34

Your last sentence Feelingmyage55 ......... Bev and Jordan! Lovely moment.

Feelingmyage55 Tue 17-Nov-20 21:01:57

Watching for the first time in many years, partly because of the current situation but also because it is in a fresh setting and therefore has an injection of newness about it. I’ve recorded it to watch while tidying drawers and whizz through the insects etc. I, like Jane10 am intrigued by the relationships that develop.

hulahoop Tue 17-Nov-20 21:00:03

Never watch it but I know lots of people do . There will be programs I enjoy that others don't ,each to their own.

rafichagran Tue 17-Nov-20 20:47:56

Love this programme. I really felt for Jordan. I agree Shane was very kind.

Marilla Mon 16-Nov-20 23:07:23

I watched it for the first time this evening. Yes, it’s a bit trashy, but during these times it was pure escapism. A bit of innocent fun. My normal listening and viewing seems a bit dreary these days, especially Radio 4.

MissAdventure Mon 16-Nov-20 22:50:19

I wouldn't even have been able to eat their prize meal, let alone all the other things.

Kittye Mon 16-Nov-20 22:43:51

Why would anyone so absolutely terrified of things go on a show like this? He must have known what he was up against, the show’s been going for years ?
