Show 3 recap


Tonight live from Jump Mountain the ten remaining competitors in The Jump 2016 went head to head in the Parallel Slalom with the slowest down the course facing The Air Jump eliminator.
Up first Mark-Francis revealed exclusively that he’ll be staying out in Austria at the competitors Schloss for the next three weeks to recuperate and get all the Après Ski gossip.
First up to race in Parallel Slalom were socialite Tamara Beckwith and new lady on the mountain Heather Mills. Heather had unfinished business after leaving the competition early last year when she had to ski jump with a prosthetic leg borrowed from a man with a size 12 foot after her prosthetic leg was broken. The rivalry between the pair was fierce and tempers flared during training, making the first race of the night all the more intense. It was a close race from the off with a photo finish, neither woman wanted to lose but Heather just nudged in front at the finish line, putting her through to next week.
Up next were Eastenders actor Sid Owen and Superman heart-throb Dean Cain. Both men were in it to win and determined that they would speed down the run. It was close at the start but Dean managed to edge ahead taking first place, leaving Sid facing The Air Jump eliminator.
James ‘Arg’ Argent returned to the competition tonight after being eliminated last week. He replaced Linford Christie who sadly had to withdraw from the competition due to a hamstring injury. After a slow start to Alpine training Arg was back and ready to take on the baton from Linford and do his best to psych out and beat pop star Sarah Harding. Sarah was quick out the starting blocks and Arg just couldn’t catch her taking a fall just as Sarah crossed the finish line but he picked himself up and finished the race with true Olympic spirit.
Race four was a battle of the boy bands with ex-Westlife singer Brian McFadden going head to head with ex-Wanted singer Tom Parker. Tom had failed to finish one fifth of his training, so the pressure was on to stay upright in the race. Tom was quick from the off, Brian put up a good fight but the Wanted star took number one spot this time.
Finally new recruits Rugby World Cup hero Ben Cohen and one-time king of the jungle Joe Swash prepared to battle it out on the slopes. Billed as David Vs Goliath by Swash, neither wanted to leave the competition on their first outing. It was a good start from Ben but Joe was hot on his heels until they both fell at the final gate, missing it, but got up and completed the course. Missing the last gate meant they would both face The Air Jump.
Dean Cain and Heather Mills headed back to the top of the slalom run after clocking the fastest times down the course. The winners race was close but Superman Dean managed to pip Heather at the post to be crowned Jump Slalom Champion 2016.
With the Slalom Champion given the trophy it was time to reveal who would be eliminated. Due to adverse weather conditions this week, the competitors earlier recorded contingency Air Jumps were used.
Up first was Tamara Beckwith with a good pop jumping 8.55m high. Sid Owen was up next leaping 8.91m just about beating Tamara to remain in the competition. James ‘Arg’ Argent followed next and looking confident, did a star jump leap and reached 8.27m leaving him in the danger zone of elimination. As Brian McFadden took his place at the top of the run, he had a determined look in his eye and flew 8.99m in the air leaving Arg looking nervous. Ben Cohen had it all to play for having competed for the first time tonight and jumped a whopping 9.42m. There was still Joe Swash to go, and Arg was hoping his new buddy wouldn’t beat him. Joe had his eyes on the prize and flew 8.67m meaning Arg would leave the competition.
The Jump returns next Sunday at 7:30pm with the nine competitors taking on brand new event for 2016, Moguls.

MOGULS

Just when our celebrities are getting comfortable on skis we introduce a new challenge. One of the Winter Olympics most exciting freestyle sports, Moguls.

For some they inspire terror and others, excitement, but skiing moguls and doing it well requires practise and timing. Mogul skiing is all about balance, short turns, rhythm and being able to pick a line to ski. One of the biggest issues for many is balance – a bumpy slope can really throw off the balance of even an expert skier unless you practise hard and work at it.

The secret is to keep a relaxed upper body and absorb the bumps with your legs.

show 2 recap
At the start of the show it was confirmed that due to a reoccurring shoulder injury Olympic Gold Medal winning swimmer Rebecca Adlington would not be able to continue in the competition and her replacement would be Wanted singer Tom Parker.

Rebecca said of her time on The Jump: “I have loved my time on the show and I’m so sad to be leaving on injury. I’m so proud of myself with the challenges I have overcome, from skeleton to jumping and learning how to ski. I’m very grateful to have met the most incredible people as well. It was so difficult but so much fun at the same time.”

Episode two of The Jump saw the competitors take on Snow Cross LIVE in a furious race down the slopes to remain in the competition and in with a chance to win the much coveted Cowbell Trophy.

Snow Cross is one of the most exciting winter sports where short skis are fused onto the bottom of traditional ski boots making the snow skates lighter and more agile than skis. The competitors went head-to-head in a no-holds-barred battle to reach the finish line first. But with a winding course including hairpin turns, jumps and obstacles to negotiate, simply getting the bottom was enough to get the contestants’ hearts racing.

Kitted head-to-toe in ice-hockey gear, Race One saw Dean Cain, Brian McFadden and James ‘Arg’ Argent launch themselves out of the start gate and endeavour to reach the finish line first. This is a contact sport and with Dean’s background in American Football he was taking no prisoners, it was a tough draw for Arg but he wasn’t going down without a fight but he looked like he might do better than expected when Brian got off to a shaky start. Dean rolled over the finish line first, followed by Arg and a tumbling Brian.

Race Two saw Sid Owen, Mark-Francis Vandelli and new boy Tom Parker lined up and ready to battle down the course. Tom was quick out of the start gate, so the question was who would come out on top – Eastender Sid or Chelsea chap Mark-Francis. Tom shot down the track and Mark-Francis managed to swipe second place after Sid felt a strain in his thigh and failed to finish the course.

As Olympic Bronze Medal winning gymnast Beth Tweddle is awaiting routine surgery on her back after a fall in training, she was absent from tonight’s show. This left Race Three down to two fierce females, Sarah Harding and Tamara Beckwith. With their game faces on they were ready to fight their way down the course. Neither wanted to face The Air Jump and they made sure when one fell she took the other with her. Tamara took on the lead and knew she needed to pick up some speed but Sarah couldn’t stay on her feet and Tamara took first place.

In the Runners Up Race reality TV stars James ‘Arg’ Argent and Mark-Francis Vandelli went head to head with pop star Sarah Harding and all determined not to face The Air Jump but who would stay on their feet longest and win the race? Sarah took the lead, Mark-Francis overtook but couldn’t hold it as Sarah overtook to claim first place and sailed through to next week’s show. Arg dragged himself over the finish line on his bottom but Mark-Francis was left behind after falling on the course and was immediately attended to by medics.

It was time for a clash of the Snow Cross titans as Dean Cain, Tom Parker and Tamara Beckwith raced to be the ultimate winner of the night. Tom was quick out of the gates, Dean was determined to try and take him out but no one could catch the newcomer to the competition. Tom Parker sped across the finish line to take first place, followed by Dean then Tamara.

Sid Owen was up first to be seen taking on The Air Jump using his contingency jump due to his earlier thigh strain, getting his legs up high and jumping 9.04m. Up next was Brian McFadden with a live Air Jump and he reached a hugely impressive 9.41m. James ‘Arg’ Argent went next leaping just 8.6m putting him in danger of leaving the competition. Finally it was the turn of Mark-Francis Vandelli who in his contingency jump recorded earlier, he went flying towards the kicker and jumping 9.09m.

Having jumped just 8.6m it was the end of the competition for Arg.

At the end of the programme it was revealed that Heather Mills will be returning to compete in The Jump 2016 from next week.

Show 1 recap



The Jump returned to Channel 4 last night, seeing six of the twelve competitors taking on the Air Jump to secure their place in the competition.

In a dramatic twist due to high winds it was decided that it was not safe for the competitors to Air Jump live. Contingency jumps were recorded earlier with all the celebrity competitors and the result of the show was decided on these.

Rebecca Adlington, James ‘Arg’ Argent, Tamara Beckwith, Sid Owen, Louisa Lytton and Dean Cain all found themselves facing The Air Jump as they failed to make it down the Skeleton run fast enough. Supported by the cheering crowd live from Jump Mountain in Austria, the six faced the first Air Jump of the series.

In the first eliminator of series three, the competitors needed to pick up speed and jump high. The Air Jump isn’t about the landing, that’s safely taken care of by a giant air bag. It’s all about how fast you can fly down the outrun as you approach the 4.5meter kicker to help you soar high in the sky and reach the highest hight - and stay in the running to be the owner of The Jump Cowbell Trophy.

Former Superman Dean Cain was first to take on the challenge and as no stranger to flying set the bar at 9.35m for the other five to beat.

Up next was TOWIE star James 'Arg' Argent who jumped 8.4m. Louisa Lytton was up next but didn't get the take off she needed jumping just 7.87m leaving her at the bottom of the leader board with three competitors still to jump.

With it all to play for Rebecca Adlington was next but after a dramatic leap was left with a dislocated shoulder. After being seen by the medics and visiting the hospital she was cleared to continue in the competition. She jumped 8.85m, keeping her safe this week.

Next Sid Owen flew down the outrun reaching and impressive 9.43m and a confident Tamara Beckwith followed reaching a height of 8.5m. This left Louisa at the bottom of the leader board and eliminated from The Jump 2016.

The Jump returns to Channel4 next Sunday at 7:30pm, with the remaining competitors going head to head completely LIVE in Snow Cross and the first Ski Jump of the series.
