It’s better than the first episode IMO. They seem looser.  I think you’ll enjoy it.

This was fun!  Liked it much better than the first episode.  The flow was much more natural, and their quips weren't so forced.  The whole caber tossing portion should have been included in the actual episode and not just the credits.  Really enjoyed the Highland Games segment.  We just watched a piece on the Highland Games on a show called Home Game on Netflix, which highlights sports in different countries across the world.  An episode was devoted to Braemar and the Highland Games.  Highly recommend.

I think a lot more people would be watching this episode if they knew there was a full minute of naked Sam running through the surf!

I agree that this episode was better than the first in terms of the editing and their interaction (I had no issue with the topic of the first episode - I'd watch more eating and drinking!).

I watched that episode a few months ago so the segment that they did here was a nice addition to that! When I saw how much more footage they showed during the end credits, it cemented what a lot of people said last week - this show should be an hour long. They have more than enough to show.

PEOPLE - My new BFF Josh Pray is at it again (Psst...he doesn't know that he is my new BFF...shhh) - 

Also, I think he has a Man-Crush on Sam.

I read an article this week about how much, in general, filmed material has had to be cut to meet the 30 minute time constraint.  I'll see if i can find it and post it.  I was so bummed after reading it, sounds like so much good stuff!

That was a laugh a minute! 
Sam “ you’re going to have to try harder than that to get me naked! “ 

My hubby is still laughing!

I think the man-crush developed in that first season of Outlander, haha!

I’m watching this now. Excited to see Braemar! I was fortunate to go the games at Braemar in 2013, so great to see it on the show.  This is such a fun show. Agree, it could easily fill an hour.

I read today on Twitter that they filmed an entire segment with a women’s shinty team from Inverness that was cut entirely from this episode.  Hopefully they’ll at least release some of the stuff that was cut on the internet for us to see.

Here’s a link to their post about it on Twitter

As a fellow sports fan, my hubby was amused that Sam had his jersey signed!
