Was this filmed last year? March 2015 to March 2016? Or is it happening now? Surely they're not planning to show it every week from now until March?

I didn't watch this last night assuming it would be on catch up, but I can't see it.

I'm glad you mentioned this as I thought I had dreamed it.I couldn't understand why they were going on about the lack of protein, as they slaughtered a large pig last week. Where has it gone? Surely they haven't eaten all of it already? Did I miss them actually eating it too? I have a suspicion that they ate quite a lot and then the rest went rotten because they had failed to explore salting and smoking options.
To me they are a bunch of kids mostly, more worried about the lack of baccy and chocolate than anything practical. And the life coach - what is that exactly? Somebody who whoops a lot, shouts 'come on guys' and 'high five!' all the time, and does b****r all else. |

Anton is still pretty much the only likeable and sensible one in there with the exception of Raphael.
The rest, what a bunch of whiny irritating fools. How can a pro fisherman have been on the island for that long and not caught any fish? Who made that bellend Tom the leader? Why was making a gym more of a priority than sorting out the food? Seriously i doubt this lot could survive a week in Centre Parcs. Strangely addictive viewing though, but mainly for the live Twitter feed when the show is on! |

I'd just like to thank channel 4 for picking a bunch of likable people who seem to have a genuine interest in survival.
I was beginning to think I just hated everyone, since the recent tv trend for reality shows seems to be to pick the most irritating, thick people they can find- well either that, or they're the only ones who apply. |

There are several words I would use to describe Tom "adventure instructor", but total bell-end is about the only one printable here. He is a gossipy old woman disguised as a bloke. The lowest sort of human, who takes pleasure in making other people feel bad.

Because the show is meant to be about how they survive. They are all really unlikeable people bar a couple.
As for the gift that was left for them, maybe it was some strangers, I'd like to think so and even if it wasnt I certainly wouldnt begrudge them a couple of chocolate bars etc when they'd been existing on a diet of basically potatoes for so long. Maybe some people were expecting a bunch of Ray Mears and Bear Gryllis experts to show us how its all done but that would be a different kind of show after all. |

I disagree, I think they're a nice enough bunch bar a couple, none of them are survival experts so I wouldnt expect them to be able to skin, gut and process a pig properly, they have however built a hot shower, kitchen, toilet, tee-pee etc so I think they're doing pretty well on balance.

Don't they live streaming of Eden online? You think they would in this day and age.

But they have their priorities all wrong. Building a sauna and a gym is hardly essential. they haven't caught any fish or grown any veg yet! They all seem to think htey are 'pretty cool' but none of them are very mature.
Should have got a wider age range to begin with though. |

Catching up. I'm still supporting Anton because it seems that nobody there is. The chocolate part was a joke.
Seeing next weeks preview it looks laughable |

It was! As last night a big part of the show kept on about the cravings the cast were having for food as they were being fed just potatoes for weeks on end. It was mostly sugar cravings and many went to camera saying the feelings were so overwhelming they couldn't think of anything else. Anyway the boat that 'mysteriously' turned up twice on the shore and left a package the second time,it mainly contained chocolate bars and what looked like one small bottle of beer. When it got brought back to camp it was opened to lots of 'o my god' but they never actually showed anyone eating any of the bounty! Strange. |

Chocolate has a fairly good iron content which is very welcome at a certain time of the month (to deplete reserves).

If anyone is interested in the local chat, the Facebook page for Ardnamurchan is talking about Eden, and there's a few bits about the chocolate drop.

Well maybe we didn't see them eating chocolate because, after it was all shared out it might have been such a tiny quantity to 'gorge' on!

Strange the police getting involved, they are usually very quick to say that no law has been broken so nothing to do with them. I can't any possible laws being broken by someone chatting up the girls and leaving them chocolate.
