I'm not saying this to be confrontational. I think it was a weak year. The final 2 families were good.

Agreed re. Anna.

The Cuddihys had a real nice route through to the final.

I’d agree, thought the standard was down this year. I’d love to have a champions playoff

A champions playoff would be good, except the father and mother on a 2011/2012 team could be mid 60s!

A few of the families on tonight didn't seem very fond of the Kinsellas, was that just put on for TV?

They didn't come across as unlikeable to me.

Aidan, the Tipp family father, was a bit full of himself. Talking about his strength anything from waist up wouldn't be a problem! And he a very slight weedy man on top.

Just finished watching it on the player (I started nearly three hours ago but with all the buffering and freezing it's only finished now.)

I found it a bit unusual that the finish came down to the line almost exactly the same as last year.

I haven't seen previous series but wondering have the finals always ended up as close?

Yeah plenty of times, even the eliminators you'd think one family is much stronger but alot of the time it's comes down to the wall and ramp, it's a great finish to an event and can be dramatic, sickened for the Mcintyres, thought they'd have enough.

thesandeman · 20-12-2021 07:19AM

Has there ever been a final where one of the teams were easy winners?

Meh...quite average. I'd say all the auld lads married to their missus for the last 20 years think she's unreal but she's not anything special.

AMKC · 20-12-2021 04:12PM

What a great ending to that final. It could have been either team.

I thought the exact opposite. Thought it was the first year that there seemed to be a real bond between the families.

The two Kinsella lads must have been jibing before the bungee challenge that they’d get 20 each. It seemed to me the others took it in good humour

gmisk · 20-12-2021 07:51PM

Cracking final nothing in it. Worthy winners especially after losing their shoes! As much as I can't stand Anna Geary zzz

The guy who was in Riverdance you would be gutted for him....he nearly dragged his family into that final by himself

It was really close last year and the previous few years finals held in Croke Park only had a few seconds between the teams as well. I cant ever remember a final where a team were easy winners, its always been pretty close. I suppose as a team they can only get through the course as fast as their slowest team member so that evens things up a lot. If it was an individual race then you would have the odd person smashing through it a lot faster than their competitor.

Thud · 20-12-2021 09:36PM

needs a refresh and some new events next year, maybe some new coaches too.

Pussyhands · 20-12-2021 11:17PM

Just watched it back. Anna Geary must be embarrassed watching it back. All me me me. Cringey scutter out of her mouth too.. "how much do you want it".."every ball counts"...blah blah blah

She thought telling yer wan to take off her socks was some master stroke too. It made absolutely 0 difference. She would have made it anyways.

Someone needs to tell her she doesn't need to wear leggins and tuck her t-shirt in to have her massive rear on display.

Mairead Farrell needs to go too. "This is the first time I've cried on Irelands fittest family"....you don't remember crying when the Greenan family just left, no?

Muahahaha · 27-12-2021 06:08PM

Zelebrity Charidee Special of this is on tonight at 8pm

Grainne Gallanagh, David and Stephen Flynn, Sinead Quinlan and Neil Delamere bring their families to compete for the title in the name of charity

Mr.Crinklewood · 02-10-2022 06:49PM

2022.....

unsure if there is a new thread ...

The Princess Bride · 02-10-2022 07:21PM

As always, I am enjoying watching this from my comfortable couch!

Another shouty coach- just what we needed

Cumhachtach · 02-10-2022 07:51PM

Christ the Laois family were the poorest ever. Kids overweight. Bad tactics. Working as individuals. Running too fast for the girl with the pontoon. A complete mess.

It's like they entered it due to the father's ego, fancied himself as a muscle man. He had to hang from the rings, the main job, at 90kg🙄
