    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.

    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.

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

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    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

    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.

    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?

    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🙄

    Grand little frock on Mairead. She looks like she's off to the parish social.

    It was to feed his ego. I wonder is his favourite sweets smarties.

    The family of surfers who thought it was a good idea to keep standing up on the raft despite continuously falling off 🤔

    He sure was. Also I was delighted for his brother Aaron who recovered very well from his early slip.

    I'm not sure what sort of an event might suit the Mammy on Nina's team this week.... she's not exactly your stereotypical contestant......

    But I'm willing to bet that the bungee one won't be great for her either.

    Hubbie just said the same thing. Now I'm sitting on my couch like the rest of you but I know full well I could never enter this and wouldn't attempt to! Although I would love a go at some of the obstacles
