Shipwrecker of the Year 2007

Did we have one of these competitions for Shipwrecked last year? I can’t remember. Anyway, the six rather surprising finalists, battling for £15,000 prize, were Lianne, James, Jane, Ben Lunt, Lucy and Paul. That’s five Tigers and one Shark. I can understand v ery few of those choices, given some of the other characters we had on the show. James? He didn’t seem to do much except look pretty. Jane, hmm? She was funny at times, but as a later arrival she didn’t really get too much screen time. And Lucy?? The 18-year-old whose views caused another racial furore for Channel 4 back in January. Sure, she may have “matured” during her time on the island. But so what? She’d have done that even if she’d been stuck back home in England, she’d have had to to survive in life!

The big favourite was the undeniably entertaining Ben Lunt. And guess who won? PAUL!

Ha, I’m just joking. It was Ben Lunt.
