    It feels like the producers have used the exact same script from last year's series. The only difference being that the arguments have started earlier this year. At each other's necks on Day 1? OK...

    Quite. We seem to have lost a world when we were more adventurous, inventive, and self-reliant.

    I think my generation is responsible we were so determined not to be draconian like our parents we have gone too far the other way

    Parents wrap kids in cotton wool these days, that being said, if I ever have kids, I am not sure how I could bring them up differently to everyone else to prevent them being so soft.

    Thankfully my parents did not wrap me in cotton wool, although it does have its draw backs.

    In 20 years, my generation will be running things, I really do wonder what the UK will be like then, I suspect a bunch of push overs.

    Not that I can fight myself but I am strong in spirit and mind.

    Thank you.


    Not where I thought at all, I was expecting it to be more towards New Zealand?? And 100's of miles from anywhere too.

    You try and give them the best of both worlds. Sure, let them play computer games but also let them climb trees

    And so far, they're all whining, annoying, unorganised children.

    Best to let him go if he wants to leave, better than having to expend extra energy carrying passengers.

    See! Today's people are not even embarrassed about quitting.

    Do that during WWII (whether fighting or at home) and you would have been outcast.

    They will find a complete ikea dining set with alen keys and have a sing song on the first night having caught and cooked a shoal of sea bream with a coconut jus

    Ideally, today's generation will be able to succeed where previous generations failed twice and prevent a world war from happening.

    I would hope if it was a serious thing we would stick it out and carry on.

    They're not in a war though are they. It's a reality TV show.
