Splash General Thread

i wondered for this whether EE fans would have just started voting right away - or does everyone wait until they've seen tonight's diving?

i think they'll wait for him to dive, willing him to do well

don't think JR has been around for this show, has he?  - wanted to point out that Lisa has won on the SCD tour

I think he may be busy with Eurovision stuff.  Some finals, and Melodifest heat 1 in Sweden tonight.

aah yeah oc

blimey - vg

game over

Top bombing

Much closer than Linda's.

EE a bit ahead for the entry

Superb.

Tom didn't keep up

Louis Spence has probably fainted by now

excellent

that was superb

they should have kept jake away from the handstands from the start

CHARGE...........(ish)

that was the best one I reckon

Jake and Tom in perfect harmony

Most in sync of the 3.  Still won't win.

i really like this program. just an acceptable amount of faffing about then getting straight down to the dives

with the sob stories (bruises etc) actually being relevant

they could have fitted two dives in each in the early rounds no probs, and recruit celebs with better potential than

Helen Lederer /Tina Malone

I think there will be a few changes if it returns, but I expect it will.

dread to think what celebs we'll get next time

Rylan
Spencer & Heidi
Jedward
Kerry Katona
Sarah Millican
Miranda

Russell Grant
Biggins

Jan Leeming
Angela Rippon

the Jeds would be great they can flip

Pudsey

Stavros would be great

a load of those desperate MPs - and then drain  the water out

(Lemsip, Widdecombe, Hamiltons, Edwina, etc.)

Gareth Bale

Shaheen from BGT was at Ffos Los today singing lead with a choir behind him.

they could combine the show with a celeb clay pigeon shoot and get unmasked celeb paedos to dive off while being shot at

the BRITS has just turned into the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party

they may as do Best Hairstyle

etc

just imagine Heidi & Spencer - if they got a bruise, they'd sue the fk out of them

this last half hour has dragged

3rd = Linda

wow. surprise

2nd - Jake
Splash Winner = Eddie

Eddie 80%, Jake 11, Linda 9

blimey, that's a turn up for the books

....well done winners,a deserved winner.

wd guys. It's been a good show. Better than CBB for me

ul Hems, just a case of being in the right place at the right time - or the wrong place at the wrong time, bloody CenterParcs, for you

put Razor on this next year,

ha - Jo in Gabby in

Yep....still managed a minuscule profit though.

OT 

Yohio qualifies 

N1 bear...

yes, ul hems. All the signs were Jake was the one to beat early. No one thought he'd be so greasy and Eddie would be so good.

i remember last saturday before the show thinking jake was good value on hs at 9s. fortunately i didn't/couldn't back him and then after the show last week there was only one winner.

Serves you right for leaving the house during daylight hours imo

people really wanted eddie to be at least roughly equal best - as it happened he was best by a distance - because of his plucky and heart warming olympic legacy.

....luckily I managed to be in when the Dom Joly gamble materialised

If they have a second series,I'd be very surprised if they find someone even close to Eddies standard.

sorry Hems

More than £35k traded but it was a bit of a struggle to get that market added in the first place.

Well done team

yeah, they may not get anyone as good as jake either

....I'll get you back

I thought the Pasquale partyboat was your revenge

£1800 for me this series, enjoyed it, reminds me of the BGT semis which are also easy money-makers.

it's nice to have a format that's fresh, as most of our specials series atm are a bit stale and on the decline.

We'd  have all done our conkers if there'd been a 2nd place market with decent liquidity

1.1 always looked a fair price to me even with the risk of injury

People were laying 1.3

I doubt it GB, I would have guessed that jake would have had no handstand dive this week and easy got past linda, as it was he did anyway

Thanks to whoever put me onto the eagle, a nice little series all round!

The highest rating new entertainment series on ITV for five years – Splash! is to return in 2014 for a second series.


ITV’s Director of Entertainment and Comedy, Elaine Bedell said, “Splash! has proved itself by building a big, enthusiastic, primetime family audience. We’ve seen some quite incredible bravery from our celebrities this series, and the scale of the dives they were achieving is in no small part down to their mentor, and the star of our show, Tom Daley. We’re looking forward to even more Saturday night spectacle, and sparkle, with the second series.”

Olympic Bronze medal and British and European Championship winner Tom Daley will return for series two, to once again challenge some of the nation’s favourite faces to learn one of sport’s most difficult disciplines on primetime ITV.

Tom Daley said, “I am over the moon to hear Splash! will run for a second season. It’s a dream come true for me to be involved in an entertainment show which has been so successful and also fits so well around my training schedule.

Splash! has put diving on primetime TV and diving clubs all across the country have kept telling me that they now have waiting lists, following the popularity of the show. That in itself is an incredible achievement and I’m very excited to be part of it.”

Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards was crowned Splash! winner on Saturday, watched by a peak audience of 6.6 million viewers. The final drew an average audience of 5.6 million viewers/ a 25% share of viewing across the show, and was the most watched programme of the night. The series averaged 5.4 million viewers across the run, making it the most watched new entertainment series on ITV since 2008.

Splash! is based on the Dutch format Sterren Springen (internationally known as Celebrity Splash!) where it rated as Holland’s number one entertainment show last season. The format is owned by Eyeworks and will be produced again for ITV by Twofour. It was commissioned by ITV’s Director of Entertainment and Comedy Elaine Bedell and Commissioning Editor Asif Zubairy.

At least something positive came from it

The bugger had already backed it,so he didn't suffer from my "informed" opinion ......I'm still trying to get him back for his Dom Joly tip

These London cabbies never forget a bad tipper

I'll get over it eventually 

I've sent coral a message asking to settle the 2nd series market with the radiotimes link

nobody likes the smug ****

Joey Essex can feel aggrieved

Is it wrong to be rather pleased that Joey Essex can feel aggrieved?

As for Joly, I really liked his TV show, plus he was extremely funny a couple of times in interviews of 5 live. He does come across as a smug g1t on these shows tho.

doubt he can spell it or know what it means tho
