irelands fittest family

You seem confused between turnover and profit.

You mentioned 'made plenty of money' (profit) and linked to an article showing income (turnover). They're two different things.

Yes that young lad running back and forth was like a T-1000 terminator!! Especially impressive too considering he was running across those cans in the water, I suppose it was easier maintain his balance and composure as he was going so consistently fast. His brother hanging on above him fir so long was also some man.

What’s name a the host? Stunning looking lass!

Btw, anyone spot the glaring error on the raft challenge.. Darragh said it was 250 metres to the finish from where all 4 picked up the raft to head to the finish.

Now, average person running 250 metres as fast as he can is looking at 45 seconds. 4 people trotting whilst carrying 20 kgs raft, you’re looking at 55-65seconds..the family that won the raft challenge covered the “250” metres in about 25 seconds…

Hm, Sonia or Laura? Tough one, that!

Good point actually. It's obviously not against the rules but I reckon nobody has ever thought of it before!!

Regarding the third lad taking the ramp the same time as their mum, I think their tactics were spot on - best to get all three of them up and then drag her up the first time. If she had failed, it would have taken a lot out of her and cost them time before she could attempt it again.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

Davy hates losing eliminators
