Loyal Lady

Nina’s great this year

AMKC

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.

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

Yes me too.

AMKC

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

Maybe don't post times or results for people who haven't watched the programme yet?

Yes she really struggled.

I think the helmet was not on right.

Doing much better in this now do :)

AMKC

And that's that. Very dissapointing The

Spoiler Warning

Mahors should have had that.

Can I recycle my post from recent weeks?

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

Lol was just going to say that. Those trousers are shocking!

HeidiHeidi

How could you possibly do that bog jog with glasses on???

evolvingtipperary101

I' watching it on the +1 . missied it earlier. Jesus I can't stop laughing at the Maher's mam being thrown around like a corpse through the mud... oh lord...

.....in a time like that, to boot!!!! 😳

Mantis Toboggan

Bonnars phenomenal in the eliminator yet again.

Mantis Toboggan

Final next week should be interesting, great episode tonight.

tayto lover

The Cavan family should be favourites.

Trampas

The daughter had all the hallmarks of I don’t want to do this. Arm injury last week to practically walking the eliminator. I was wondering how she will even get up the ramp if close. She jump started and still last after a few seconds

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121480440#Comment_121480440

I favoured them (stratfords) from the start, they're all fit and hungry for victory

Green&Red

I'd say the Bonners should be favourites but they're not a team, your man cillian storming ahead, the other families have better teamwork. He's by far the strongest left in the comp but even at the cargo nets he just plowed on, left the weaker ones behind

chalkitdown1

Oh my god, the Maher's mother being thrown around like a ragdoll in the mud by her 2 sons had the wife and I HOWLING with laughter. It was like a war movie or something where they're pulling an injured soldier around to safety.

AMKC

And all that for nothing. She cost them the win in the Eliminator at the end. They would have won without her.

AMKC

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121480349#Comment_121480349

Yes and in the end it was her fault that they did not win the Eliminator. She was there weakest link. They would have got to the final without her.

Green&Red

Very harsh on the mam there, she did not look like an athlete and came within a whisker of getting up the ramp, she got round the eliminator quicker than a few of the opposing team

Mantis Toboggan

Each family is only as strong as their weakest link.

ednwireland

surely if they have to wear helmets they should have stopped when mothers helmet came off, pause the clock, put helmet back on.

if she had hit her head after that could have been some repercussions for the production company.

I said it on the night, they either need to give them helmets that will stay on, or make them secure then properly (I don't know what the problem is, but an amazing amount of them are not on the contestants heads a lot of the time!)

Trampas

Need to fit the go pros better also. How many get caught in a net or something

Eibhir

I don't think the Bonnars were in any way impressive in Sundays eliminator. The Mahers had a 3 to 0 lead at the wall.

The Mahers mam, harsh judgement I know, is probably the weakest contestant since the African lady a few years back. The Maher boys were half way down the wall and she couldn't generate enough power to make any headway on the ramp. In the mud race she couldn't move on her own either.

It's not a nice sight seeing a weak, un athletic mam being thrown around like a rag doll. It brings into question that aspect of the show. Surely a basic fitness is needed, a mam who runs, does pilates or kettle bells, maybe farms a little etc. It's not right 3 sons dragging poor mam on the show for their glory.

The Bonnars are headless. Putting the daughter on the tyres was up there with the most stupid tactics ever. You need enough explosive power for the first flip and momentum. Colm Bonnar has managed SETU Carlow, Tipp hurlers etc. His background is fitness. That raises a lot of questions! As others have said the elder son is show boating. It should be all about the team. Maybe they'll act as a team tomorrow. But when pressure comes on people resort to old habits usually.

Looking forward to the final. Xmas party tonight so the couch tomorrow with some tv is just the ticket. Love to shout at them to run when I'm lying on the couch with chocolate

Heroditas

Really looking forward to the final tomorrow. I shouldn't but I really did laugh at the Mahers doing a muddy impression of Weekend at Bernie's last week

AMKC

Well it's the final. I think Nina Carburys family have a good chance of winning this.

AMKC

I hope the Cork team win.

AMKC

Go on the Murphys from Carlow.

AMKC

Well well done to the Staffords.

wrangler

Go on Stratfords, I Should've put money on them

AMKC

Murphys doing good here :)

That was some performance by the Murphys Mum.

The Princess Bride

Great banter between the members of each family, lovely to see. Also, less shouting from the coaches makes this a more enjoyable series for me than previous ones.

A Stratford versus Murphy final, surely.

AMKC

A Stratford versus Murphy final, surely.

Yes it's looking like that alright.

AMKC

The Bonners done great there.

evolvingtipperary101

Sandbags over sisters and daughters said the Bonnar men.

Mo Ghile Mear

Davy is no loss really, the other coaches support and encourage their teams far better without resorting to screaming or petulance. Respect for all the families... whoever wins, they’re all winners.

AMKC

I am delighted that The Murphys got that one.

They all done great do.

appledrop

Im glad its a Murphy v Stafford final, more evenly matched.

AMKC

This is going to be close. Both teams doing good.
