    Hardly a pity.

    Carried his fair share of 40 bags.

    Struggled getting over the initial obstacle/bar.

    Kilruddery, Co Wicklow. I think but could be wrong.

    Can only be one of the bearded lads, maybe fond of a bit of partying or something. The rest of the families seem quite tame.

    The noises out of her, fair play, unorthodox.

    Longford probably, at least 2 from longford.

    Don't think so, just that position would make you look like you were freezing after a while.

    Still a crap format, this first challenge is nonsense. And every family seems to be from very poor historically successful sporting counties. 2 longford families, lol.

    Mother of God, do you have ANYTHING positive to say about this/them?


    Why don't you apply, and we can all be hurlers in the ditch......that's the easy bit :rolleyes:

    What's with the contestants pretending they never done the 90 degree sit against a wall before. It's obvious they would of had to be praticising for months to be able to all last for 5,6,7 minutes plus!

    Hurlers on the ditch, I think is the saying.:D

    Sometimes the faces and posture looks like going to the toilet with constipation :D

    Great stuff from the Mahoney's

    Without a doubt, but you can't be critical about this show on here. Absolute bull that none of them have ever done this exercise before. Everyone whos ever been in a gym has tried this.

    ... Has anybody said they haven't? Of course they have done wall sits before. Dunno what the problem is?

    I would never do this show because I do not have a nice set of teeth!

    I've been in a few gyms myself. At 80kg I could BP 125kg and run a 5k in 20 minutes.... Not wonderful numbers but indicative that I've trained a bit..... I've never seen anyone do that in a gym or anywhere else.

    I've been in many a gym but never tried that actually. Will try it now!

    Still way behind watching, only at the end of the first round..... but hats off to the first family in the first round, the mother lasted 15 seconds on one foot (and she a gymnastics coach! I thought she'd buy and sell the rest of them when I heard that), and they still managed to get more sandbags in than the eliminated family..... that's some moving by the rest of them!

    Have you ever tried it?
