Adding The Jungle to the weekend shortlist. I would love a few more spoiler-free pitches in here.

Sinead, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

The Jungle is one I am weighing up. Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.

Tadhg, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.

For anyone considering The Jungle: Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.
