Shipwrecked Episode 8 - Sunday 22nd March 2009

Coming soon...

A lot of tensions in today's episode. I am getting SO bored of soodi, she just seems determined to be miserable, and expects everyone to make an effort for her, haven't really seen her make an effort with other people, it's a 2 way street.

Poor Liam. I can see how being stuck with strangers for weeks on end must just get depressing eventually, you're cut off from your friends and family and your normal routine. I thought he was literally going to walk off.

The new arrivals this week were both a bit annoying. Kevin was an idiot to not follow the game and visit both islands, although the tigers were so melodramatic and over reacted, esp Liam, but at least he apologised and explained it was linked to his general unhappiness. As for bene, she's overly emotional. I mean, bursting into tears because a few people have been a bit rude. pfft!

Xanthi is starting to annoy me as well.

When Soodi said that about it not coming in a tin it really made me laugh

I think this was probably my favourite episode yet actually, i managed to stay interested all the way through for the first time in a couple of weeks. Lets hope it keeps getting better!

'It's either a boy or a lesbian'

I've just finished watching this weeks episode and didn't want to forget Mark's observation. This was said in such a sweet and wondrous way.

Sharks or Tigers? Which Island would you choose to live on?

We saw a different Beneditta  on each Island. She was very much noticed on Sharks but ignored on Tigers which was very upsetting for her.

The Tigers go into meltdown. Hollie tries her hardest to strike up good relations with Soodi following advice from Hermione.  Hermione herself seems to have changed her attitude towards Soodi and Hollie reminded me of the character Bones from the program of the same name.

Silkie came over very well in this episode she was able to talk some of the Tigers around and say exactly what she thought of certain islander’s behaviour in a tactful way. Liam, he just seems to react badly to rejection, even when the rejection is not personal. He then reacts by rejecting. Liam became very upset and felt like running away. The group seemingly led by Silkie rallies to make Liam feel cared for. Liam then feels able to welcome Bennitta and Kevin? Sonny just behaves like a caveman.

Had Kevin landed on the Tigers first would he have wanted to visit the Sharks? He seemed like a very friendly person. He may well have wanted to stay on Tigers. Kevin and Bennitta are very different. Perhaps Kevin wanted to experience the Sharks without a partner?

The Sharks?  Were they all awoken  by Bennitta? They were revolting. They revolted against the leaders.  Even Nadeja revolted against Mac and Xanthi. They, who cut her so much slack.

Mackenzie and Xanthi , change tactics this week.  According to the rest of the Sharks, they don’t participate in trying to win the latest arrivals. Could it be that they didn’t want to win one of them? Could it have been Kevin who was already decided to stay despite their lack of input? (I don’t think so).

From this episode I would definitely have chosen the Sharks.  Though ultimately, I think that Bennitta might be more suited to Tigers. Had they welcomed her, in time, they might have been happy for some of her leadership.  I don’t remember seeing the new arrivals lead on Tigers I may have been distracted at the time.

The Shark originals, I think, are the tighter team.
Sharks seem to have strong couples;
Mark and Nadeja
Mackenzie and Xanthi
And from today’s episode Rosie seems to be a strong member of the team.

(Rosie would not be out place on the TV show Gavin and Stacey. She could even replace Stacey).

Tigers have less originals and half of them are the weakest links, Sonny and Liam.

What I am interested in in the weeks to come is the relationship between Bennitta and Nadija. Do they join together to oppose Mackenzie and Xanthi?

if only u knew how much stick i've had today...text messages...fone calls..facebooking about my boy or a lesbian comment hahahaha still cant beleive i said that xxx

urghk

You sounded really pleased to see them, the boy or the lesbian? We have yet to find out if they are one or the other?

Do you remember saying that at the time?
