Yes we learned heaps and god forgive us we now feel we can not keep still and quiet? I think that is good thing not bad, Surely you would share what you have found ?All we hear is why did you go? What about why did they let us go there?

Lets stop and consider how and what we learned? What happens if we destroy cultures before we learn the value of each of them?

I think personally the BBC underestimated the woman they chose we are not corporate citizens content with the edited version, You can not silence us for a £1? ( so don’t worry about your license fee ) Interestingly I don’t think that any amount of money would make a difference . Sorry guys but you did ask for comment . What did we really see? What was edited? But most of all what did we learn ?

I think what you have to take on board is that they film over sixty hours, which they condense into a one hour show all in the name of good tv.

You had to hide behind a cushion, seeing my very poor attempt at the dancing, believe me, so was I…….

I just wanted to say, that the one thing that I have taken back from my experience out there is that I feel that as women in the westeren world, we are totally indoctrinated on growing up as fast as we can, do well at school, go to uni, get a good job, get married have 2.4 children and BINGO! We are supposed to be happy!

Although we have far more choices here, are we actually any happier?

We are under so much pressure trying to balance careers with having a family, we are pressured into losing baby weight within a week post natal, and encouraged to live on a diet of lettuce leaves.

Are our children any happier, being thrown into childcare as soon as possible, because we need the second income to make the mortgage payments?

I personally feel because we are surrounded by so much pressure, to do everything, we have lost sight of what is really important.

I cannot think of one woman in this country today that I would be consider a role model compared to those of the 20th century.

I feel that all the women within the tribes throughout the series all have a common theme, they have found peace, contentment and happiness from within themselves. Indeed, although I was only out there for a month, I really feel that I have managed to embrace this. I really feel a peace, a love and a deep contentment from within.

Many struggle on for years, to have this level of contentment.

Before I went out to my tribe, I felt so fragmentaed with the ghosts from my own past and really struggled with who I was, and I suppose in retrospect, actually really didnt really like the person whom I saw in the mirror

I feel truly blessed to have been given the opportunity of this experience and an added bonus, was accepting me.

However, I do think my hair extentions and spray tan were a bit ott
