Excuse me snakes are not the only ones to bite ! , What about RATS !!! They're vicious and ugly , mud crabs nip and pinch like crazy and Even green Ants sting and bite like hell (they may be small but they're a nightmare) .
And have you forgotten the LIVE scorpion that bit Carol's hand when she had to eat it .

And of course they're harnessed up in height trials otherwise they'd fall to THEIR DEATHS , what exactly do you want Sam someone to fall and seriously injure themselves seen as you want some kind of danger?!? So never mind about health & safety then

Exactly my point, a nip here and there and a bit of gunge, hardly the tribulations that would case any NORMAL PERSON any serious or even uncomfortable pain. By the way, no animals will bite if you dont threaten them. The key is slow deliberate movements and your home and dry except for those pesky Green ants. But no I dont want them to die which is why all the safety controls are in place.

it's no walk in the park, maybe you should try some of these trials to see how easy you find them . I agree some trials look easier than others but it's still not nice it's a bush Tucker trial after all . I don't want to see anyone in terrible pain but we have seen them in uncomfortable pain and being slow doesn't always work especially if you have only a limited time to get all stars for meals .

Plus even when they're gentle it's not always home and dry it's not as simple as that because you're still invading a creature's surrounding and they still attack you lol

You know very little about me but in my younger days, before I became a golf professional, I was in the Army. I was a paratrooper so heights didnt phase me. In my golfing career I have lived in the Caribbean for 4 years, South Africa for 6 years, Thailand for 3 and Mexico for 6. Needless to say snakes, bugs and creepy crawlies have been in existence and Ive been bitten by a scorpion 4 times in Mexico and once in South Africa, i was bitten by a snake but the hospital was 1 mile away and the antivenom was in within minutes of me getting there so all I had was a swollen arm and a very big tongue (dont know why) for a couple of days.

On top of all of that Ive been married for 45 years, so everything creepy thats happened pails into insignificant when the later is put in the equation.

I wasn't knocking anyone who's actually been through hard rough times , you're here to tell the tale but i didn't expect a life story and i never said i knew you but sometimes when people complain about situations they don't know what it's like and you might think it's nothing what these trials are but i doubt any of them have had to deal with that kind of stuff seen as they're all from luxury lifestyles some of them probably have housekeepers .

The point i'm making is why should they put the celebrities life in such high risk for entertainment , and over the years IAC has pushed the boundaries so i don't see anything wrong with them taking it easy on them this year

In the past they've had serious injuries like 4 years ago David Haye got seriously bitten by a bandi coot ( it looked like a rat ) and he needed medical attention

further back a neighbours actress and an emmerdale actress had to jump out of a helicopter into the river below where they'd done a colour code pattern with holes and they had to jump into the holes that would equal the most stars for meals , and the neighbours actress injured her neck so badly and had to leave the show

and like i've said in the past there's even been a marks man ready incase a crocodile swims towards a contestant ! . so IAC has done everything risky even having ostriches pecking at people which must be worse than an emu pecking you
