irelands fittest family

HeidiHeidi

The Bonnars can consider themselves very lucky after cocking up so badly in the first event, and yer man flaking out so early on the balance beam!

But they made short work of the eliminator in fairness, so all credit to them. Colm Bonnar sprinted up that ramp like a 25-year old, fair dues to him!

Does Donncha have 3 teams in this round? I thought it was only 2, which would make it a bit bizarre that they had both in the one episode. But if he has 3, that would make a bit more sense.

Stratfords are with Donncha, I know them, they're very fit and have been into fitness all their lives, hope they win

Carrying bags of spuds and filling baskets with spuds. You can't get much more Irish than that 😅

Donnacha didn't spare Cillian, he obviously wanted the glory of "winning" the first task. I think Donnacha said something about his ego. Ridiculous move to have the girl trying to pull that tyre and the biggest man of show standing waiting. They were excellent in the eliminator in fairness

Green&Red

Murphy's and Peter's came across as two very nice families

Yeah, madness. I know some of these events you cant really practice for, but everyone knows how heavy a tractor tyre is and it was just plain daft to think she could pull it on her own in any sort of decent time, Colm should have done that, the son carry the tyre which was probably even harder, then one girl on the balance beam and one running.

It sounded like they didnt listen to Donnacha on the spuds trial either, so didnt learn any lessons from the first debacle, as Donnacha made some comment that he didn't think the son was the right man to be up on the balance beam

Awe that's a cruel blow for this family down to three but they will not be last anyway after your one on the last family failing after 24seconds. Big mistake putting her up there.

Doing OK over 100kg now.

Impressive from the O’Regan’s. Oisín is gas on the beam

Osian has amazing balance. Unreal. Another full 15 minutes wow. Makes it look easy.

Did Davy just smack someone on the ass?

The Princess Bride

Davy is incredibly 😨 scary. If looks could kill, they'd be dead.

AMKC

That was brilliant by the Mahors delighted for them.

Delighted for Davy too lol.

Oh I enjoyed that look on his face. A face like a smacked arse when his last team got knocked out. 😅

As soon as she walked out on the beam she looked like she could crumble. Her feet looked way to narrow for balancing. She also looked to be standing way too close to the edge of the beam, but that's besides the point. Just a disaster all 'round.

Love seeing Davey humbled, though, even if I'm gonna miss his hilarious screaming at the poor families.

I agree. Even Sonia o Sullivan said it afterwords that she should have picked one of the others but did not have the heart to say it but they done brilliant in the Eliminator and at least they know for the rest of the show.

Yes me too.

It's that time of the week again. Come on team yellow the mahors.

Not easy or nice this course.

Helmet falling of not good.

Not going good this. They are struggling and going so slow.

I think these will either be in the Eliminator or go out.

Spoiler Warning

6.09 is there time.

HeidiHeidi

I didn't think that first Mammy was going to make it through the bog - she was like a dead body being doing around the place for a lot of it!

What is the deal with getting helmets that will actually stay on??? Or possibly just making contestants actually fasten them properly?

AMKC

Second team did much better

Spoiler Warning

a time of 4min 56,

third team the banners in now. Can they beat it? We shull see.

Spoiler Warning

5min 16.

I think they will be going to the Eliminator.

HeidiHeidi
