    Great series so far. As others have mentioned, I find great satisfaction watching the muscle-bound lads struggle on anything endurance related. 😂

    There's more to fitness than big biceps, lads.

    I think that's to add variety to the show and keep us from getting bored of endless repetitions of the same courses. They're probably all of equal difficulty. and the families competing in that group are all partaking in the same challenge.

    I love it too 😊.

    One thing though, (as I know from personal experience 🙄 ) ... the taller long-legged and long-armed people have an advantage over the shorter ones, for lots of the challenges.

    Stepping from one block to the next in the water, climbing up over the bales and high walls, running up the ramp etc. all suit taller people better.

    I don’t really like the lake setting and have always found paddle boards boring. The swamp was way more fun.

    I presume it's the luck of a draw done before the series starts.

    I think in the early series they all used to do the same events in the early rounds, and it got incredibly repetitive.

    Any family who winds up in the later rounds will have faced different events so if they've a weak spot they'll be exposed eventually.

    Another team (Gallagher) coming back to compete. I wonder how many families enter Fittest Family



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,202 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    Just had the same conversation here. Mustn't get many.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,857 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    That's an interesting question, how hard is it to qualify.

    They didn't last too long this time either!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,191 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Too much weights and not enough cardio for yer man....hope he's ok, looked a bit shook on the bales.

    Re: Returning families....with the cancellation of the show and then the un-cancellation, I'd say timelines for applications were tight so producers might have had to go back to the well

    Well the gallaghers did not last too long anyway and after that performance in the water by the Mccarthys I would say they are next to go. They were brutal, the slowest team yet on the water.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Its funny. Happening for years. The avg person wouldn’t even be close to 45 seconds. Be closer to a minute. Carrying the raft they’re not even running hard. More a jog. If it’s even a 100m I’d be amazed


    poor Ed thinks lifting a few weights makes you fit. He hasn’t any cardio. Didn’t have his orange juice or had to much orange juice before it

    Nina more vocal this year. She was an amazing competitor herself in the celebrity version of Fittest Family & of course, Ireland’s Dancing with the stars

    At risk of showing my advancing age, what the feck is Laura wearing?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,665 ✭✭✭✭The Princess Bride


    Davy, shouting at his family. Then he tells Zack, there's no need for him to be so hard on himself. Hello?

    Davy scares me with his shouting, and I'm sitting on the couch relaxing!

    He was a tosser all the way through the episode. The state of him when his team came last in the first event and he's effing away and punching the hay bales. Who in God's name would want to be "coached" by him in this?

    Fair play to the other three for ripping the p1ss out of him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 754 ✭✭✭doughef


    I love Davy on the GAA pitch as a manager. That level of aggression doesn’t transfer to IFF and it looks a bit staged (punching the bales of hay ffs)

    I think the other 3 coaches genuinely care about their families though.

    its a great show :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 19,130 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    True but they had a good head start and really faded towards the end and were caught at the line, probably knew that was their chance gone.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,730 ✭✭✭Heroditas


    Thank you for explaining. I had always wondered what the difference was 😊



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,801 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    The pontoon element of the eliminator has made it more of a lottery, go off them and you're fucked, you can be so far behind there's no coming back

    The product placement here is a bit of a joke.
