So Katie Price and Joey Essex are the superstars of the people in 2015.

F***! What has this world come to?

"No, news just in, Joeys jump doesnt count, and the person we fixed it for to win has won"

Tindall's paying the price for being a wuss and going off the middle jump. Fair play to Essex, nice to see him doing something that requires a bit ot skill tor a change.

Tindall deserved what he got, cant believe he didn't go off the big one. Fair play to Louise Hazel though.

Load of arse. But then, what can we expect from a programme which doesn't even know what a cow bell looks like? It was fixed on the high jump. No way he won that.

Yeah Mike deserved to get beat there for not going off the big jump, could clearly have done it but took a calculated risk and lost.

What an utter anti-climax that was. How come Tindall the big rugged tough rugger player didn't use the BIG jump at the end to better his chances? Told to use the centre was he? It makes no sense to me.

Winning a reality tv show hardly gives superstar status!

Typical of the smoke and mirrors in this programme. Of course it wasn't her. Camera tricks. Just more obvious than last year.

Plus why are they only rounding the jumps to the half metre for God's sake? 50cms in this event is a mile of difference, especially when they were all much of a muchness and there was a technical draw tonight on one of the jumps.

The cheeky wink at the bottom was the clue!

Back to the fecking ski cross results again
Why can't they measure with more accuracy than half a metre?
It's about the 3rd time jumpers have had exactly the same distance.

Nooooooooooooo Louise T deserved to win the whole thing
They kept putting her up against blokes when Louise H and Chloe were put up against each other and one bloke. When you consider how small she is that doesn't seem quite right.
I think Louise T got the tougher draw in several events.

17.0m doesn't seem very good off the big jump
I know. Weren't some of the bigger jumps from the smaller ramps earlier in the series around that distance?

Louise H ended up being the only one going off the big jump!
Disappointing if going on off the big jump gains no advantage.
It's hardly an incentive for others to try the big jump in the future is it?
Why would they?

So they can measure the "high" jump in centimetres, and they can measure all of the timed event in 100ths of a second, but the MAIN EVENT can only be measured using crude methods that are no more accurate than .5 of a metre ?!?!

Very strange.

did only one person go off the big jump?
Yes, Louise Hazel.
In this show it would appear that fortune doesn't favour the brave.

Really?
Do you believe him when he said that he's only skied once before, but it might have been in a dream?

Before this series began I predicted Louise Hazel to finish top of the females, so I am pleased that she finished joint-second overall.

I agree, it's supposed to be the most important element of the show. After all it's called 'The Jump'. It's the main event, it's the show's USP, and they can't even be bothered getting a decent measuring system.
If they have to keep falling back to the earlier events then forget about the jump, just call the show 'Celebrity Skiing' or something. Base the show around something they can actually measure. Because they can measure other events within hundredths of a second and they can measure the air jump with a degree of accuracy.

I've really enjoyed this series and I will miss it.

I think that the contestants will too. It looks like they had a ball.

Great family entertainment.
