There's something about AWT that puts me in mind of munchkins, or possibly gnomes. It's not a visual thing - he looks like a kind of compressed Robin Cook - so maybe it's the odd cartoon-like voice? Definitely not a hobbit though, although I suspect Dec might be.

Early days but I must admit I was expecting to dislike Danniella enormously, her still photos always seemed to me to look kind of on the defensive in a "You wanna make something of it?" kind of way - but she seems to have an infectious smile and plenty of time for other people. So far.

Fash was hilarious muttering "Look up. Look up. Look up" as he crossed the bridge before he'd even gotten to the task - even Tony Blackburn was never quite that wet. Mind you, I'd have drawn the line at dropping rats in my pants too. He just seems to have a need to come across as tough rather than just being himself - all that karate black belt stuff for instance. I reckon he might unravel as the pressure mounts.

Tufnell's no-bull attitude cuts through all the pretentious luvvieness, which is good, although I don't think I'd actually like him in person or would want to endure two weeks of him - he's like the Chris Finch character from The Office ("I've thrown a kettle over a pub, what have YOU done?"), which means he's the prime contender for stoking up a bit of the fantastic tension and sparks which made last year's so brilliant.

Toyah looks bored - although I could be mistaking boredom for the buddhist nirvana of eradicating all thought and stimulus to reach Zen inner calm, which is what happens when you listen to Wayne too much. Wouldn't hurt to look a bit more enlightened, though.

Chris definitely brought the best luxury items, that chair will be a defining icon of the second series camp like the logpile was for the first!

Bob

No, not quite yet. He has head started himself by becoming the leader but I think each of the other's have qualities which could help them become leader (not leader in the sense of being voted leader but leader as in looked to as a leader by the group), and consequently alpha male :
Phil is similar to John e.g. physically strong, seems to be up for protecting the group
Antony is the cook which will be vital, I heard a few of the group say they really don't want him to leave as he's so good with the food
Wayne is the comedian
Don't know much about Chris yet

At the minute he is looking the most alpha male of the group but I don't think he's really grasped that title just yet, you can't really tell after one day.

Perhaps we should vote him out first, then

You would think they could have found at least one contestant with some intelligence.

I had to laugh at her today.

Hogging the camera with a pensive look, she suddenly says. 'sorry, I'm just having a 'missing my husband moment'. After a short exchange with John and Anthony it transpired that whilst he was presently at home in England they only saw one another - once every two months or so.

Six meetings a year? Wouldn't many couples just love that situation.

Not if your husband works abroad and you have no choice in the matter.

Perhaps not in the conventional sense but if you're loaded then I don't think taking turns to meet up with one another once a month would be unreasonable.

I was giving you a bit of personal info there, faequeen. I wasn't thinking of Toyah, although I remember an interview she did about how they hardly seemed to see each other. Why get married then?
Tally <who isn't loaded, but would love to find out what it feels like>

I believe Fash has 2 degrees or does that not equal intelligence? The rest do seem to be a bit wet though ! For some reason I do not like Phil but I have not figured out why yet!

Sorry but no. Similar? You mean they are both tall and that is where the similarity ends imho. Phil is weedily built, boring, unattractive where Fash is every girls dream man! Time will tell whether Phil lives up to all the media hype (personally I doubt it and I am too bored with him to really care) or whether (more likely) he ends up another Darren Day. I am seriously fancying Fash!

15 minutes into tonights show and Tuff's just been made leader and told everyone to more or less please themselves....Lol.
This man has style, what a great leader.

Don't know if you caught any of the live output, bystander, but there was a similar classic moment where he attempted to organise the washing up and ended up trolling down to the pond on his own loaded up with pots and pans

No I missed that Swing, I've only been dipping in and out of the live stuff.

We would never have guessed


I agree he probably will end up like Darren Day, but we'll just have to wait and see how he does in his trial (if he does one) to see who really is the alpha male. Even Catalina did better than him, and I'd rather have creatures poured down a pair of plastic pants rather than wade in crocodile infested waters!! hardly sign of an alpha male...


Ha ha yeah
(AWT that is, not Fash)

I'm not supporting Fash here but I have to say wading through a muddy pond is easier than cockroaches round the knackers.....

.............and what about that large croc that the camera kept focussing on......................it almost looked real didn't it.

....and they did have the marksman ready to shoot her if she over-acted

It almost looked like it was in the same muddy puddle....almost.

did they get the BAFTA just for the pukka editing ?

He's not my dream man!

Infact, I'd say good male totty is seriously absent from this group.

I saw its eye move ..............and the ickle baby croc's were so cute.

You're wealthy already Tally - in the spiritual sense.

what an insult,Phil might fancy himself as a bit of a lad but i somehow doubt he's going to start bragging about his street roots and rooting round the jungle for scrap paper making out Sian wants to give him a nosh.

I didn't watch any of the first series, so didn't know what to expect. Am loving it, I think Wayne will be first to get on people's nerves as he just doesn't seem to gel with the Guys and the Girls will have to decide if he is worth the hassle. He will be the biggest bitch and sh*t stirrer. !

Phil gets my vote so far as the winner and the totty rating
