From top to bottom
Sam is relieved to be saved this time
No more whoopsies please Sam

Sam Backwell

The drop zone experience was scary!

It felt weird but obviously I'm happy that I'm still here.

When Colin started telling the boys how they could improve their performance I started getting worried about what Sally was going to say.

But what she said was good.

She said I needed to raise my performance level because others had done the same.

It will make me improve.

When I was saved I just wanted to run away so I went straight to my seat. I didn't bother with all the hugs and kisses and stuff.

It was a huge relief.

I've been trying so hard but now I'm going to do it doubly so.

I will relax when I need to and concentrate when I need to and get myself back up to the top again.

I won it last week and this week it was a case of, "whoopsie I'm at the bottom."

Never mind though - it happens.
