The Jump

[quizzkid]

Is anybody watching this on Channel 4?

[EcclesCake]

Yes

[quizzkid]

Are you enjoying it EcclesCake? I have to say the first night wasn't sure but I am getting into it now.

[Nottm_George]

It seems to me another expensive show just to give over paid celebrities a nice little jolly.

[emmie]

no, its another bonkers reality show, two minutes of seeing podgy Darren Gough and an out of breath and condition Steve Redgrave had me reaching for the off button.

[Ratty2E]

Yes, I wasn't sure about it the first night and to be honest I'm still thinking it's probably rubbish but I seem to have been drawn in.

[Tizzi24]

No, it's as bad as Splash.

[Caribeing]

Splash, Jump, soon we will be having Hop and Skip!!!

[jake-the-peg]

Don't know if their insurers will let them do another series

One guy got a broken hand that now has steel pins holding it together and Melinda Messenger had to be excluded after getting 'mild concussion' on a bob- sleigh!

[quizzkid]

Have to say I agree with most of the comments but it draws me every night. Maybe it is all the snow, I love snow.

There is a new reality show in the pipeline, hosted by Alan Titchmarsh, in which Z-listers are given a patch of bare ground and a packet of grass seeds. Their aim, using whatever methods they wish, is to grow the greenest lawn in the fastest possible time. The working title, i believe, is "Watching Grass Grow"

[Prudie]

Once that is a success the follow up will be these Z-listers in a bare room with a tin of Dulux and a brush. It will be so entertaining and called 'Watching Paint Dry'.
Sorry I watched 5 minutes of the Jump and turned it off, utter drivel.

[Ken4155]

Prudie; believe it or not i was going to use the same example but i couldn't think of a famous painter and decorator to present the show:-)

[quizzkid]

I have to say Prudie I do agree. It is not that good but I still watch it. I will not be watching grass grow. We are getting far too many of these shows on tv.

[Prudie]

Ken that guy that used to be with Alan Titchmarsh on the home improvement surprise thing (name?) that did all the building stuff, bit rough and popular with the ladies, was it Tony someone, ended up with his own show?

[Ken4155]

And they will keep churning them out, quizzkid, as long as people keep watching - even when they think, "it is not that good."

[EcclesCake]

I started off intrigued and have rapidly lost interest as most of the 'challenges' are not that challenging and over hyped.
