Curiousier and curousier, still say that Munnilita gives me the heaves! I wonder if laura or P’eta will show true colours on Sunday after heavy training-P’eta seems to be the stronger, but laura, once she gets over the tears,might be the stronger ?
I always go into another rooma dnwatch, but I bet hubby will watch at the end !!

Yes, as I said on the official forum, the way the rope would’ve gone under the wheel would have been the people on that side not keeping the rope taut while the plane was in motion. So they really only have themselves to blame for the problem, so it wouldn’t've been fair to have Blue stop and let Red fix the problem.
I’m sure they’ll consider that issue if they ever do such a challenge again though.

I think they’ve been focusing on the Red team a bit more at the moment due to most of the drama centering on them. Both teams seem to have their crap contestants though, but I prefer the Blues, mostly because Damien’s great. :-D

The thing is, not getting to read those letters this time will (hopefully) push them that much harder next time, because they won’t want to miss out again!
And it’s only been about two weeks at this point. I’d've thought many of them would be happy for the two week’s peace!

It wouldn’t surprise me if Courtney had water loaded at least a little, but this week’s weigh-in should make it fairly obvious if he did or not. If he loses significantly more this week than last, then he did.

We may’ve had a KFC ad in the middle, not too sure. I was too busy eating KFC during the ads to notice! :-D

Correction, meant to say someone WASN’T pulling their fair share…

I’m a little surprised the challenge wasn’t paused until the reds got their rope free, that didn’t quite seem fair. Not that I’m a fan of the red team but it did seem extra cruel. I suppose the reason the rope got tangled was that somebody was pulling their fair share, allowing the rope to become slack enough to be run over so that might explain it. Bit surprised there wasn’t more mention about it too. Hopefully it means red will go to elimination and that smug little porker Courtney will get what’s so obviously coming to him!
And hey, Mythor, what’s with the excessive use of !!

I admit that I like the Red Team more at this point (I reserve the right to change that at any time). When I saw them lose and realise that the letters would not be read, OMG… I wanted to cry with them. Husband would have given heaps of crap for it so I didn’t.

I have to say that the Blue Team’s reaction really did up my respect for them. I think they genuinely felt bad that the Red Team wasn’t getting their letters. I know that they were excited about reading their own, but they didn’t rub in in the Reds’ faces. They showed sympathy and tried to say some healing words. I have to say that I didn’t expect that. Greg’s reaction really got to me.

For all the screwing with the players heads that this game does, I thought it was cruel to tell that letters are there and then, NOPE, you didn’t win. You don’t get to read them. Bastards. I know, it is just a game and all that, but that was f’ing mean.

I was all set to watch tonight, it had just started, when my mobile rang and I had to head into work (never mind that this is my 2nd day of holidays!! ha ha) but I was back by 7.30, I had taped it anyway.
Would have been pretty funny if The Ghost Of Alex had said at the end, “Munnalita? doesn’t need a letter from home, it’s not like she has kids, adults understand it better, etc etc” (I am such a beeyotch) She has not said or done anything since Alex was kicked out to change my view of her.
I wonder if Courtney water loaded last week? I bet he did (just a bit, not enough to gain)
What I noticed last season was the emphasis on exercise, but not much info about what they really ate in the house (only if they lost a challenge and had frozen or takeaway, or won and went to a restaurant or had a chef)
Did you have a KFC ad in the middle of it? lol
