Has anyone else been watching this ?
Sky Sports Xtreme Plus - every night at 10:30

I really thought that green had blown it now that blue has had chance to settle down. The reds, (scarlet and ruby, of course) seem to be a little off colour (ha ha) while the ubiquitous white is way down in the running. It must be something to do with the new "gel" formulation. They'll never repeat the success they had with the famous non-drip gloss range back in the 90's.
There's also a strong rumour that purple will be disqualified. Apparently, there's been some doping going on. A trace of emulsion was found in the solution, but this hasn't been confirmed yet.
Only eight weeks to go to the grand final - who will you be voting for ? I must have spent a fortune texting my encouragement to the Dulux team but I haven't seen my name up on the telly yet.

:roll: Are you actually joking?
Somehow I find this quite believable :roll:

There used to be a programme on one of the cable channels where two naked women would cover each other in shiny paint, using large brushes. They would then shower it all off. I know it sounds cheesy, but it was actually quite erotic. Far more appealing than watching paint dry.

Day 12 in the International Paint Drying Championship

I couldn't believe my eyes last night. Red and Yellow were actually shown blending on TV. Look out for the tiny splatters of Orange in the next few weeks. If that wasn't enough, some of the pots went topless. They shamelessly took off their lids although I bet that the Blue has had a false "handle" job.
The challenges are getting a bit harder now. The sauna challenge will be difficult as the humidity is bound to effect the drying properties. Out in the garden with the temperature up in the high 80's there's bound to be a few wrinkles. There's talk that the White has an illegal anti-UVA ingredient. If this is true then surely it will get evicted.
I don't know what to make of Green this time. Does anyone else think that there's a hint of cross colouration going on. I mean, if it carries on like that it might as well go the whole hog and have a varnish transplant.
Can't wait for tomorrow night. There's a new group task where they all have to cover a hardwood door. And can you believe it - WITHOUT PRIMER....... Oh my God
:o

I can see that this thread is destined to have a poor ending, but a magnificent finish.
