"A kangaroo with cheese, please, and a large witchety grubs."
BBC Three is giving overweight, 16-19 yearr olds the chance to have the adventure of a lifetime.
We are giving ten teenagers the chance to face their biggest challenge yet - to survive for one month, hunting and gathering their own food, in the inhospitable terrain of the Australian outback.
The successful applicants will be living under the strict rules and diet of their hosts - an Aboriginal tribe in Australia. The teens will have to live life as it used to be: in the wild, on a natural and unprocessed diet. If they want to eat, they must first pick, dig, trap, kill and cook their food.
Warning: This is back to basics survival not for the faint hearted. These teens will be burning calories and losing weight, like never before.
What's rhyming slang for kangaroo?

Dunno but I do know that if you could breed a sheep and a kangaroo together you'd have a woolly jumper.

Its not only Fat Teens who Can't Hunt. I'll bet most Skinny Adults Can't Hunt either.

The phrase 'can't hunt' is asking for trouble.
Which, on second thoughts, is probably what the show's makers intended.

I wonder which part of the "outback" the teens will be occupying. The Gold Coast hinterland, anyone?

You've got to feel sorry for the poor Aboriginal tribe and the various wildlife which will have to cope with fat British teenagers. I'll take good odds that the whinging, vandalising, pocket-picking, snivelling little bastards will depopulate the Outback faster than myxomatosis.
