I enjoy the progamme and can see why they do the cookery but it all seems a bit false to me, do they realy do it in the time they have? I cannot imajine someone knowcking at the door saying you have a day to do some of the tasks  ;)   

Not sure why I never remember the names but I like all those who are left but did not like the man that went, he would annoy me with his self self self approach, I think he is a bit arrogant and feel sorry for his women as she< I recon, is only doing the farmer bit to please him and he's was on ly doing it to copy the current trend and be something like the next Hue F W (not spelling that without a google search)

Heidi the Petulant with the face and attitude of a thwarted spoilt 3 yo plus her arrogant aggressive minder really did have to go - no place for them in the countryside.  Of the remaining 3, I want both the older couple and the Geordies to win  :D
I am hoping that they have been working away behind the scenes feeding their livestock and tending their crops.......?
Being a cynic, I wonder how much we are all being led by the editors, showing us the bits they want us to see and not those they don't, so we are all behind Jimmy's decisions?

She did have a perpetual pout on her and he was horrible. Glad they're gone.

I loved the bit when Geordie Jane had to put on a 'proper' English accent so that the person on the phone could understand her name!

Yes I had to laugh at poor Jane, too.

The couple that went, were they the ones in the first episode that did nothing on their plot of land and reckoned they were going to rent strips of land as allotments to people?

No, they went early on. Useless!

I can't imagine what they advertised for when looking for participants. Something like ' Must want to farm but have no experience of livestock, growing, fencing or common sense' was probably about it.

doganjo - from somewhere in the depths of my brain I have a snippet you might be able to answer for me?  :)
Is it true that if ice cream melts and you refreeze it, it (somehow) gets arsenic in it? Or something like that. Typing it out makes it sound silly, but i got it from somewhere.

I spent the programme muttering that she needed to stir her ice cream :)
Sorry never heard of that one!  Pretty glad to as I quite like it crunchy ;)  Providing it's from my own freezer not someone else's of course! ;D ;D

I've never heard about arsenic but definitely know you shouldn't refreeze ice cream.  It can make you very ill

Only because it has so much milk in it and bacteria can get into it once it has become unfrozen.  There is a point where it is safe to eat - mushed up in your plate for  instance - a yummy kigger, but it should not then be refrozen.

Weren't the ones that left the ones that were going to have a goat farm and spent a lot of the mutton marketing campaign making a big goat farm logo plastered at the top that made the sheep product rather irrelevant?  I can't remember what they planned to make out of the goats, but I think the wife was talking posh salad leaves to serve with whatever it was ???

I'm losing track of the original proposals too - wish they'd review that :(

I think the Geordie couple are hilarious but they seemed to mess up on all the livestock tasks as I recall, from the initial stock fencing (can't remember what their plan was ??? ) to handling challenges..

Was the allotment selling plan from the couple that went last week for the duck in a cage or am I as confused as I feel? :)

Sorry, icy water on the brain and pretty much everywhere else today ::) 

I have retired indoors with the suggested cuppa but still can't remember who said they would do what ::)  Ah well, I'm sure someone will remind me one day, hopefully Jamie will get back to it by the end of the series ;)

I wonder if any one on here knows people on the programme, as much as I did not like Heidi and her man??? (I too do not remember his name) she was sweet, I really think she and hubby only did it for a TV oppertunity, bless her!!
