Yep, just have to look at last weekends Ten Tors event, sub-zero temperatures, driving rain, high winds etc leading to over 50 well prepared and equipped, fit youngsters dropping out (with many being airlifted off the moors) before they even got to the first nights camping!

Slightly off topic, but gives a good comparison to how comfortable (easy??) life is on 'The Island' compared to what could be expected in real life - and that's not knocking the programme as I think it's also doing a good job of showing the realities in their given situation.

I reckon they did right keeping the caiman alive until they were ready to cook it, in the tropics anything will rot pretty darn quick once it as been killed.
