irelands fittest family

If there was a competition for the largest amount of pointless waffle Anna Geary would surely win it.

Great performance by the Cuddys. Esp Lisa after that hammering she took earlier, I felt that fall just watching it!

Great head of hair on the brother!!

If you asked a kid to draw an Irishman he is exactly what would be drawn!

Davy made shìte of the cargo net last week aswell.

Muahahaha · 05-12-2021 8:27pm

yeah that cargo net cost them the race. Its been in the show every year from the start so you'd think Davy would have figured out the best way for a team to tackle it.

Good episode overall, the Fordes look like contenders on that performance.

Anna and Dzvy never shut up. Imagine trying to get into the zone hanging from a flippin crane and you have to listen to theim constantly roaring. . A couple of blowhard egomaniacs

Green&Red · 05-12-2021 10:34pm

Anna is exceptionally annoying

Nah, the ideal team is a fit mammy and 3 fit daughters.

Trampas · 05-12-2021 11:07pm

Forde’s have no balance.

the upper body strength for hanging tough doesn’t appear to suit the people who like larger upper arms.

davy putting the daughter down before hanging tough. Just do what you can as the 3 males it’s on you.

what’s up with Davy having the official equipment at his home. Shouldn’t be allowed

Hanging tough is similar to marathon running. Less weight you have to carry, far easier it is.

Pussyhands · 06-12-2021 12:00am

Geary would annoy you up on the bar. Never shuts up.

"short term pain for long term gain"

"Go to that place in your head"

"Give me 20 seconds, just 20 seconds...20, 19...stay there for your family...18...stay there, just 20 seconds...20."

The Cuddy's have been the luckiest of the lot so far. Straight through to quarters after the cycling/bag lifting in R1 and then a 4th place finish and 1st place in the other event.

Not easy going through all that mud. I would wear tights if I was going through that too. Can't believe you man not wearing leggings or tights.

chalkitdown1 · 12-12-2021 9:14pm

The aul' fella letting that Dublin team down badly in that eliminator. I'd be raging if I was one of the kids.

Geary's team have been so lucky in their last 2 episodes.

Trampas · 12-12-2021 10:13pm

Forde’s might regret the father or daughter having a go at the ramp. Waiting for sons to get down from wall and getting up the ramp

Pussyhands · 13-12-2021 12:38am

Delighted to see the Bissets gone. The most cocky, unlikable family ever on the series. Even up the the very end they were cocky. "oh we have the edge because we've done this before, we have the strategy for the wall"

Pussyhands · 13-12-2021 12:42am

Anyone else think the first set of families had a much harder task than the second? Bog was much harder than the swamp. Swamp looked like mostly water while the rest was just on a balance beam and monkey bars.

I can still hear Davy's constant roaring. "CAM ONN...GO...CAM ON. CAM ON!!!!!"

And then Geary's annoying voice. Did you hear her at the end with the scutter she comes out with. "It's not about who wants...it's about who needs it...who craves it!" Anna, do you know crave and want is the same thing?

Pussyhands · 13-12-2021 12:44am

The Kinsellas are in with the good shot of winning I think. They've got a good balance and light team which will bode well for endurance events. If they just manage to survive the inevitable carrying/pulling event they'll have a great chance.

Tom_Crean · 19-12-2021 8:19pm

I'd love to see a member of Davy or Anna's team casually take a pair of ear plugs out of their pocket before an event and put them in.

alchemist33 · 19-12-2021 8:25pm

If you record it and fast forward through the breaks and the "I have to beat coach x because he'll be unbearable" shite, it only takes about 40 minutes!

PieOhMy · 19-12-2021 8:27pm

Pity the cuddahies are gone. I thought they were good, the lad carrying the mother through most of the events was an absolute beast, an assest to any team.

Also it's gas at this stage to see Anna Geary communicate almost exclusively through clichés.

PieOhMy · 19-12-2021 8:32pm

Tug of war would be a good event for this actually, or drag a tractor 20 yards before starting running or something

Arghus · 19-12-2021 8:48pm

Anna Geary is very hard to listen to.

You're wrong there!

She is f@#$ing impossible to listen to.

Her first words after her team won .... "I'm the winning coach!!!! I'm the winning coach!!!" All about her😕. It was a great competition this year though. Some seriously fit families and some great finishes.
