The Island Of Lost Blokes with Bear Grylls. Starts Monday @ 9pm Channel 4
 

Bear Grylls versus womankind: TV explorer accused of sexism over new men-only show that tests survival skills on a remote island.

He is a very modern adventurer, a man who has been to the furthest corners of the world and lived to tell the tale, getting by on his own wits and determination.

But it seems that, in his latest battle, Bear Grylls has taken on an opponent stronger than any frozen continent or jungle trekking route – the wrath of womankind.

He stands accused of sexism after Channel 4 announced the latest small-screen show to star the 39-year-old television explorer.

The Island Of Lost Blokes will see 12 hardy souls join Grylls in trying to survive on a desert island using just their instincts and ingenuity.

------------------

Fgs - someone people will moan about anything. It's not sexist. :bored:

Anyone planning to watch?

Having two groups might have been more interesting?
I can see how it could be seen as sexist but as it could turn into lord of the flies 2 I'll let it go :joker:
I'm going to watch.

Oh good, we can discuss it here :D

(Admits it could be sexist tbh but men with minimal clothing will be adequate compensation for that ;))

I'll be watching, I like Bear Grylls

I dont get this bloke or his schtick so its a pass from me

The Island Of Lost Blokes and women just wouldn't be the same

maybe looser women should be called loose men and women

It looks good it's on now

I was hoping for a sassy black girl but it's just men who is in it :/

There's only like one hot guy too

That old guy is annoying

Watching this

that blokes tat

I hope they all starve and die, ha

a woman wouldn't last five minutes in a harsh environment.

ok here is my 10 cents of first impressions - i love it.








the island with bear grylls - day 1 - is this the new Big Brother ? 06.05.14

well done channel four
this is a winner
i am already craving more
and unlike "Big Brother"this time i am no late beginner.
what a fabulous show
i can not put a price
this is a ch4 glow
its your "baby" paradise.
what a amazing adventure
it has brought to light reality
but before you get dementia
in there circumstances is no normality.
out in the wild
nothing is on tab
weird experiences will be filed
none more so then catching and eating crab.
i love it and are hooked
it gave me good thrills
everyone have the tv booked
because gripping is "the island with bear grylls".

:nono:

I was in stitches! What a set of wusses... wherever did they find this lot of useless lumps?
They found a perrier bottle they could have started a fire with that in minutes!
:joker:

but do you admit - great entertainment ? i am looking forward to next one already.

food deprivation on the island - ch4 Bear Grylls 13.05.14

second show was brill
"i'm a celeb" and "Big Brother" it does rival
this show is all about skill
its a determined factor in every-ones survival.
absolutely gripping
beating is my heart drum
on the edge of my seat slipping
watching them scavenge for a crumb.
fail after failure
down was going every wish
all proved no sailor
proof was the inedible fish.
out of the blue
was a cheeky smile
i feel on its way is a beach barbecue
how brave were these to capture crocodile.
respect for the slaughter
all done quick and humane
it made all there mouths water
this was a great education obtain.
the start is the bickering
rows are in the post
a clash of personality's is flickering
but to "Bear Grylls" and to "CH4" i thank you toast.

omg this is great viewing. well done ch4.

I'm so sick, I was laughing my backside off at them most of the way through again. I didn't get the bit about the fish, how would they go off in the net overnight?
Next week looks good when they kick that gobby one off :joker:

it does - i will be tuning in for sure.

I watched this last night and quite enjoyed it.. Not so much the murder of that innocent crocodile, but hey ho, survival of the fittest and all that :)

Yeah poor croc (RIP) but I guess that's the circle of life, we eat meat everyday

none went to waste -

Oh In regards to it being sexist? Why?, can we not have one gender programmes anymore? Atleast it'll just be about their survival on the island and we won't be subjected to the showmance s**te that inevitably occurs during any mixed Reality shows. Would there be cries of sexism if it was only women in the show? Probably not.
