Desert Island RiSKs

[mushroommai]

I'd choose Karl.
We have some common interests so I think that'd help things along.
Plus he's more hands on than the other two, I couldn't see Ricky doing any kind of manual labour and actually helping build a shelter.
And Steve... well, I don't think he'd know how.

[Ghosty]

I think I would choose Steve. I think he would know some stuff about survival, also he could reach for coconuts as forementioned. If not, he could climb it offering some comic relief.

Karl would be second choice although he would be very useful, I don't think he would be a great conversationist. It would be awkward silences until we got rescued and he proceeds to moan about me.

If I had Ricky, his laughter would be so annoying after a while, I would just jump into the ocean.

Ricky would be my last choice by far, it would only be a matter of time before all this started if he didn't have Twitter to air his views.
"See if there really is a God then why would he let us get stuck on a desert island? Or is because I'm an atheist that he wants me to suffer? But then why would God give me rational thought to become an atheist if he didn't want me to be an atheist, see? I'm an atheist by the way"

Steve would have the best balance out of the three of least annoying and most common sense to be of any real help.

Steve's tight. He might not be up for sharing aforementioned coconuts.

Oh, Ricky is the one to choose when if you wanna get your fair share of food...

:)

[Axist]

Not Ricky, I like him and all but I can imagine him being lazy and annoying for extended periods of time.

Karl might pull his weight but I'm not sure how reliable he'd be.

So I'd go with Steve, he'd be good company as well.

[RandyChimp]

I'm still suprised by people picking Steve.

Remember the 50p? Think about that. He'd never let it go if you, say, ate the last piece of coconut when there were an odd number to start with. He'd go on at you about it.

[Scotland Rocks!]

Money means nothing on as island.

Steve can keep the 50p.

And this island doesn't have coconuts. It has MANGOES. So there's that argument ruled out.

Plus if I have to eat him, he's a lot of lean meat.

Steve it is then.

SORTED.

Right. So when do we leave?

(shoulda made Nigel the editor an option...)

[RandyChimp]

Lol, floored by logic. How was I to know this island lacked the natural order to grow coconuts?

I agree though, we need more options. I vote for Claire Sturgess or Ian Camfield.

[ike]

I vote Suzanne. She's obviously got a lot of patience, and I imagine she'd appreciate the time away.

[Vahl]

I'd go with Steve (not because I fancy the guy, well..maybe that to) but because I know Ricky and Karl would whinge the entire time. I think Steve's a good company to be with. Tells stories to keep me sane. His height would be an advantage but I worry if he gets injured or lose his glasses. Then I'm done for.

[mushroommai]

I don't think whinging would be a problem.
I'd whinge too... and I think if two people are whinging over the same thing, you bond don't you.

[Vahl]

True. Karl would be good at making shelter. He likes DUI stuff. Dont know about Ricky though. If he can squeeze a coconut with those mighty legs I might consider.

Wouldn't be so pedantic, but it looks like Karl enjoys drink-driving otherwise.

[Vahl]

Oops. Sorry about that.
