Pah

Some really good comments there elle, I thought it was one of the better episodes of a somewhat dull series to date.

Both sets of new arrivals seemed cool and down to earth and although it was quite easy to work out due to spoilers , I was quite surpised they chose Tigers.

From watching it they certainly seemed more taken with the sharks party ethos than the tigers laied back island life. Im guessing the sharks arguing for most of the time they were there probably swayed it.

Im going to put my neck on the line though and say this although i support tigers again this year i just have a feeling sharks are going to win. I can certainly see why new arrivals would find them appealing.

I wasn't a massive fan of this episode, I found it quite boring and the sharks are just really irritating with all their bickering. I did like both new arrivals and it was one of the first times you could see that the new arrivals were really close and worked well together. Why do the sharks argue so much, they all seem really insecure and don't feel comfortable with one another. Xanthi seems to tell it like it is but in him doing this it ends up with more arguments. Nadejah is back to her usual annoying self, Greg seems to have finally settled on an island though I think Dan might move. If Lois was on Tigers then Dan would definitely move, that would swing everything in the tigers way. I thought this was a really bad episode for the sharks they really need to sort themselves out. For the tigers it seems like they are a well-run really tight group which is what you would want coming onto the show but I still think new arrivals will be swayed by the sharks high energy, I just think if the new arrivals actually spent half a week on both islands instead of 2 days or whatever it is then Tigers would be winning as it is easy to cover the holes in a group in such a short time.

Saying that, holes are starting to appear in the tigers camp as well with Soodi. Why has Hollie got it in for Soodi so much? I think its a bit overdramatic though I can see why soodi would be annoying. I think Della is a real catch for the tigers, just the person they need. Jack will be another one of the lads.....its gonna be hard from now on for guys to settle in at the tigers now that they have such a strong bunch who all seem to get on so well. Why did Tom look so unimpressed about being paired with Hermione? It doesn't look like he wants to be part of the 'TV couple'. Maybe he was upset about not being one of the 'strapping lads' thought that was quite funny. Maybe Franki and Jack might get together, though Franki does seem to fancy everyone!

The pontoon race was one of the worst bits of editing i've seen, what an anti-climax. And the prizes were rubbish as well. Hopefully there will be another one with some decent prizes and maybe the editors could try make it even slightly tense.

No i imagine Beneditta going to cause some controversey and good knows these islands need something to get them going !!

Actually I think she was justified in her complaints about Tigers - not a good episod for them they really showed their bad side.  If only it were enough to make Jack nominate as id love him on Sharks!  He didnt seem too impressed by the back row cheers when the newbies chose Sharks.

Generally I think Tigers came across as bitter, stroppy and childish!

I was disapointed with the pontoon race, not like other series... Didn't show sharks in the best of light. However the tiger girls didn't give soodi a warm welcome was swaying towards tigers after this episode, will have to see. The pontoon race prizes where abit rubbish compared to others...
