The island with Bear Grylls, women's island useless

I only started watching the show yesterday and only watched the latest episode for both the men and the women but I think its fair to say the men are doing a bit better.

That PHD girl might truly have died if there was another rainstorm, she was in an awful condition. The girls got lucky and had free food (two piglets) which saved them. They were a bit pathetic in taking so long to kill them tbh, OBVIOUSLY they are going to have to hunt and kill animals to survive the 6-weeks, so they may as well get over it now. It was also really dumb not going and getting more water from the waterfall before it ran dry. Essentially they've already lost the competition since they had to be saved by getting a new fire starting kit dropped in- they would have all died otherwise. They are also disorganized and have no routines in place. To be fair a few of the women are good- I think Lauren is fantastic tbh and a few of the older ladies (don't remember names) have the right attitude also. Some of the others are not so good though...

The men have an organised camp with proper shelter and seats, fire running 24/7, and have daily firewood and water gathering routines in place. They have a bit of internal strife and to be fair Kyle is a useless lazy piece of **** in all that episode although he partially redeems himself by killing the croc. They DIDNT get 'free' food in the form of random piglets and instead actually hunted some crocs, thats pretty badass! The women have yet to pull off actually hunting anything...

I only watched the latest episode to me but as far as I could see the women would have all died this episode without outside intervention and the men were gradually starving (but then so were the women only they got lucky with the piglets), but eventually hunted a croc so have a few more days added to their reserve from all the calories. To be honest the women are probably still near starving too, those piglets didn't look so big shared between all of them...(minus the one who wouldn't eat them).

Whether or not the men argue a bit has nothing to do with the fact they are definitely a step ahead of the women at this point.

Cruelity for the sake of entertainment disgusting and sad.

Why did you create a new account just to post this?

Wut?

Why not?

Just found it odd. Clearly a dupe so wondered why they felt the need to create a dupe to post something they are passionate about.

They're dead right though, the women are absolutely pathetic, and would have been dead long before now if it wasn't for intervention. They're a complete train wreck.

Anyone who thinks that the women are doing just as good as the men, is delusional.

Just waiting for Vic to swim across to their island and conquer it with his fishing rod

Why is it clearly a dupe, maybe they just don't post, only found the forum, or lurk alot.

What did you expect? There is a reason all successful civilizations are patriachal. In a lot of cases all women contribute is giving birth to men.

The really amusing thing is that originally it was only supppsed to be men taking part but the feminists complained said it was sexist and women are just as capable. Then this happened.

They made a fire easily at the start of the episode, they just encountered problems when they headed towards the other beach.

And the fact that they actually killed one piglet shows a lot of strength. The piglets became their pets, they actually followed them when they changed camp to the other side of the Island ffs. It took a lot of strength to be able to do that, but then I think to also be willing to go without, and refuse to kill/ eat the pig like some of the others did, also requires strength. To still stick to your principles when faced with strong hunger takes a lot of strength of character. I don't know why you're judging someone's strength by that, it's not as obvious as 'kill pig, be strong man!'.

In comparison the guys last time were more than happy to kill an endangered crocodile without a second thought. But let's not forget the fact that many would find it easier to kill a crocodile than a piglet.


Did you see the preview of next episode with the guys? Bickering, bitching and whining like a group of old fisher wives, is that why you'd rather be on that Island?

let's not forget that the women actually managed to make multiple fires using that prehistoric technology whereas the men kinda cheated using the glasses

So the women are emotionally strong? Well that's evident in their lack of will power as they have lost more members than the men. Especially frustrating was the beutician who left because she didn't want her nails to get dirt. Real will power and emotional strength (!) Even if the women were emotionally strong how does that translate into results? They have been so pathetic by killing one piglet. Only one god damn piglet. They would've died on the island due to the lack of fire if bear hadn't of given them the fire kit. This clearly demonstrates their lack of competence and resourcefulness. The women have no clear strategy and plan. They lack the initiative and strong willed mindset that the men posses on the other island. Surely it is only logical to conclude that the women on the island are a mess and would fail miserably without any help.

Didn't read your long rant...

Mainly because after having watched this weeks episodes, yeah, the girls are ****ing useless.


But the majority of the men are also ****ing useless, apart from a select few who are carrying the rest through.

But the girls are embarrassing, that psychotherapist behaves like a child. How concerning is it that someone like that is meant to help people with mental/ emotional problems.


Edit: Your rant was stupid. Firstly, they have made fire before, did you not see the episode where they had a fire running for 3 hours because they were boiling water? Only later on in that episode when they moved camps could they not get a fire going, not sure why. So you're completely wrong by saying they couldn't start a fire
And secondly, most left due to health reasons not because of emotional weakness.


I hate stupidity.

I've just started watching this, they alternate each episode with the men's island and the women's. With the men's island so far they built a shelter and kept a fire burning from day 1.

The women's island is apparently more entertaining as they haven't got a clue, splitting up into two groups getting lost, not building adequate shelter,arguing, and bickering all the time and not finding food. Bear Grylls has to say the PC line "maybe the women might do better than the men"

So if you take civilization and comfort away would women struggle?
