So basically if you do the ski jump and land it you're in then, what a farce lol
If a woman with one leg can give it a go then there is no reason why a tough ex-rugby player shouldn't. |

Why is it? They have the choice which jump they do; if they go for the easier one, they know they're going to be at a disadvantage. Seems fair enough to me.
![]() I think it was Davina bigging it up like Sarah might have beaten Heather's jump length that made it seem silly. |

If a woman with one leg can give it a go then there is no reason why a tough ex-rugby player shouldn't. It seems a bit daft comparing ski and air jumps. It's like combining the result of long jump and high jump competitions in athletics to get a result! |

Who's still watching it more like? I gave up tonight and decided that enough was enough after last week, and went and watched the Sport Relief charity darts pairings on BBC2 which at least offered a lot more action.....and absolutely NO injuries!
Lets hope if its back the producers realise a weekly format isn't going to work and get people who actually train. Even the Air jumps are still woeful there's no wonder they aren't risking hard landings. |

Didn't need to talk to Joe.
That seems to be Davina's presenting style, to tell the audience that they love who she loves. You can take the girl out of Big Brother, but you can't take Big Brother out of the girl. |

How can you compare the air jump and the ski jump?????
They even directly compared Heather's ski jump of 14 metres to Sarah's air jump of 8 metres plus. How does that work? ![]() So would would happen if Sarah had jumped 9 metres in height in the air jump, and Heather jumped 13 metres in length in the ski jump? Would Sarah have won then, or what? Absolutely nothing is explained when it matters. |

The metres count, should have done the ski jump but more risk of falling.
If what you say is true then trying to make exciting television as we waited to see on the screen what height Sarah had jumped was utterly meaningless as it didn't matter how high she had jumped. Was there a chance that by some miracle the screen might have revealed that Sarah had jumped 15 metres in height in the air jump or something? |

If that's the case then why did they flash graphics up on the screen showing what Heather had jumped, only to have us waiting in anticipation for the reveal to see how high Sarah jumped? As if it was something to build up excitement to see if Sarah could have beaten Heather.

The bit where they have them all in a room and announce the pairings is a bit silly.
There's only eight of them, so once the first three pairs have been called out, the last two whose names haven't been called obviously know they're against each other. It's like the FA Cup draw - you know the last two teams left must be playing each other. But they still call the last two names out in dramatic fashion and the last two react like they somehow didn't know they'd be paired with each other. ![]() I agree with others that the ski jump/air jump thing doesn't make much sense. It's obvious that any ski jump, as long as it meets the legal requirements for it to count, will beat even the best air jump. Even Davina admitted as much last night: "It'll probably come down to one of the last three jumpers because they're all doing the air jump", or words to that effect. |

Was there a chance that by some miracle the screen might have revealed that Sarah had jumped 15 metres in height in the air jump or something? It was incredibly unlikely an air jump would beat a ski jump. However if they had ignored Heathers ski jump and said "oh well Sarah you have def lost to heather let's move on" people would complain about that. I think most viewers would have realised that Sarah would not beat heather. I had posted before the air jump had happened that it was annoying that Sarah would not beat Heather because of it. I don't think it really matters that they compared them. They did use the ski jump this week which had been a previous criticism. I do wish they had all used the ski jump though but I guess if they are not confident it is better they have an alternative to use. |

I thought the whole programme was dire last night.
Davina is becoming more annoying by the minute with her 'dancing' and its all just so naff. Adding in the injuries and the contestants who are really easy to dislike, I'm giving up on it now. Terrible, tragic trash.

at all the posters saying it's awful and they don't watch anymore but seemingly care enough to come and post about it on an obscure, practically dead part of the DS forums.

This why Heather Mills did not attempt the mogul she already knew her Ski jump beat the air jumpers.
I bet the production team were pleased!! I came to the conclusion last night that apart from the chaotic way that the programme runs the main reason I have yet to invest in the show this year is because the contestants just aren't that likeable. I did think there was an attempt to improve the running of the programme last night with two of the contestants jumping after two races rather than all at the end of the show. Made more sense. |

I thought that was bad. Training all week (presumably) and then opting not to do the race correctly so giving the other person th victory. Both Sarah and Heather need a slap on the wrists for that - what happened to the spirit of taking part?
