Eamon Sullivan is already the winner for me!
Love how so many of us watch this purely for the eye candy.
Bring it on! It sure takes that Sunday hangover down a peg!
Oh i do love this show. A bunch of hot guys running around in speedos, yes please. And thank god they got a hot AFL player this year after Cameron Ling last year. Hodge, Eamon, Quade, Gidley. Yep should be good viewing.
There are a lot of constants in this show. There is always one smokey who surprises everyone. A rugby union player who gets talked up but who’s rubbish. A soccer player who shows no signs of being an athlete at all. An AFL player who is good at nothing, not even goal kicking. Then of course you have the main one….it’s always won by a Rugby League player.
I enjoyed the first two seasons of this show. Hopefully this new season will be just as good.
I’m happy to see Billy Slater (winner of the 1st two seasons) return in some capacity. And am even more happy that the wooden Tom Williams is gone as co-host (with Wendell Sailor replacing him)
Hello eye candy!
Sunday February 14? A bit confused as the 14th is a Monday!
I think they should have had a women’s one. There’s plenty of female athletes floating around these days. Someone like Sam Stosur might win. Very fit, and she looks very strong too with those biceps, bigger than most of the male players I’d say – almost look as big as Nadal’s!
Love this show! U really get an insight into each athletes dedication to their chosen sporting profession & personality.
