As a girl, can I just say I LOVED Davina's SOS ski suit. And I'm already a little bit enjoying this series.

Bit sad to lose Dom so early on. I get the feeling that they have practised the jump more year.

Countryfile was pretty good

Brilliant, after last year can't believe they managed to get another series

I really like it but can't stand Davina. Alex Brooker was better. Always funny to watch Mr Bell trying his best to get more Nevica airtime by popping up in the background of the shots in the bar. Disappointed Dom went, I thougt he'd be good entertainment.

Louis Spence is very annoying, but way less than Davina. In a tw@t shootout she would beat almost everyone.

Jon Butterworth is very impressive sort of nutter isn't he?

And they have gone to extraordinary lengths to blank out all the other clothing logos on kit being worn if you look closely tonight!
And yes, respect for hurtling down on a tin tray at 100kph
And surely Tindall's strategy will see him win the comp as he's probably by far the best jumper so will never be booted out!

I wish they'd change the format so that no one was booted out - they just had a scoring system for each event.

I thought the format was a bit odd anyway. I'm sure they said they paired off the competitors to their nearest challenger and then they race off against each other. So the winner of the two slowest gets to go through to the next round while the slower of the two fastest competitors ends up in the jump off.
So I guess Tindall's strategy makes sense. You will end up in the jump off at some point so all you can do is be as good at it as possible. Mind you, all it takes is one fall and game over.

@lderscot, yes, I thought that was a very odd setup too. Still, they did say that anyone eliminated might be brought back in if there are injuries - better than last year when the two in the "final" both came in as replacements hlf way through!

Definitely the format caused me to stop and think. Overall though if it's a new discipline every day the learning curve and general natural ability will come to the fore, so the winners at luge/SBX/skating etc events are more likely to learn to jump quicker too(?).

I recorded it - and fast forwarded through the bits with the utterly appalling McCall woman! Only way I can bear to watch it.

I hate these sorts of TV shows but I actually found it very entertaining to watch. Louie Spence mincing it up is just priceless.

I've had the pleasure of chatting to Mike Tindall on a number of occasions after Gloucester games; what a great, down-to-earth bloke he is. Also met his mrs once in the Shed Bar at Kingsholm and she was charming, too!

I might be not giving them the respect they deserve. but dont they know theyve to JUMP off the end rather than drop off?
Not that Ive ever done it!
Respect maybe.

I quite enjoyed the snow cross event from last night. It's great to see some real competition in the programme this year.
It's a shame they didn't have something more stable than the snow skates to use as pretty much all the events were decided by people falling over and they didn't get a chance to really mix it up. Quite good fun though. Good to see Mike Tindall push his way past anyone in front of him.
Tonight is Men V Women in slalom so some real skiing involved.

Shame Heather Mills was knocked out then... even if she is a pushy burd.

Snow cross was good but it would have been better with 6 at once, would have created more pushing

I enjoyed the snow cross, wouldn't mind having a bash myself! Would have worked just as well (if not better) with all 8 still in the competition...

The real "Crashed Ice" series is often like this, they have 4 per race. Sometimes it is a real fight, other times 2 fall over early and the front 2 just cruise home
Which is also a bit like SkierX etc
But still good fun last night

Yeah I seem to remember last years winner was catapulted in at the last minute which seemed a bit unfair. Surely better to use one of the ones that have at least taken part in the early rounds.?
They've definitely given the whole show a rethink and a bit more variety is a good thing IMO.
Is Wozza still the skiing coach this year?
