Challenge No. 38 – Bond of Brothers
Off to Phang Nga Bay (James Bond Island) we go, where we’ll create our very own original James Bond script. We’ll act this out in exaggerated fashion using our best Sean Connery accents!

February 14th 2008 Today was Bond – the morning went amazingly brilliant! Lee being Mr Evil and Lindsay being Bond. We loved filming this (even though we moaned all the way through it). We met three amazing girls on our first few days here at Koh Lanta and they were desperately excited about being our Blonde Bond Girls. Unfortunately for them though, they had to leave the day before filming commenced and so, couldn’t run their half-naked bodies against Lindsay’s sweaty and hairy body. Yesterday, thankfully (with time running out) Gemma (our tag-along-friend) found two other Bond Girls for our Challenge. Without her we’d never have completed the Challenge as Lindsay’s now too scared to approach the female species through constant fear of forever reoccurring knock-backs.

Shooting commenced and everyone was astounded at how natural these lassies were at playing up to a script. Turns out, the two of them are actresses back home in the UK. Amazing on camera and stunning in real-life. Thanks girls. But Lindsay still never got a date! He blames it on the Speedos – Lee disagrees. He thinks it may be down to the slight fact that his younger bro is indeed, fat and ugly.
Lee managed to get the staff of an internet cafe to act out some key Bond scenes too. These people gave it their all.
Lee, somehow and miraculously convinced a Thai Policeman to get involved in a scene too. Amazing these people are – the Thai’s have to be one of the friendliest people we’ve ever had the fortune to meet.
Unfortunately though, despite us making him an international film star – the very same cop fined Lee the very next day – for riding a moped without a helmet. Still, hey ho!
We are both completely shattered – mentally and physically. Rising at (on some days) 7am and not finishing filming until 10pm (15 hours later for the mathematically-challenged peeps out there) and having to do 3 hours of preparation for the next day – is really taking its toll on us.
