  • Second sentence of the final paragraph doesn't make sense. The first sentence in that paragraph is very close to the source. Belle (talk) 00:04, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
  • The second sentence you created by splitting the first one remains very close to the source. Belle (talk) 11:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
  • You mean the "confined to the house" bit? or the food items sentence? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:59, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
  • The food items/challenges. Forgive me if the formatting goes wild here:

Article:"Their challenges included having meals solely of baked beans, prunes and ice cream; being sent out on a garbage collection run in inner-city suburb of Newtown; being roped together for two days and nights; and wearing boxing gloves for a whole weekend." Source:"So far they have been forced to live off baked beans, prunes and ice cream for a week; sent on a garbage collection run in inner-city Newtown; tied together with rope for two days and nights; made to wear boxing gloves one weekend" Belle (talk) 12:09, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Yeah I know - I was at a bit of a loss here - I mean I could swap the order I guess though it seems a bit lame - I had trouble thinking of some synonyms or rephrases. Let m think......Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:22, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Rjigged it a bit - ditched the less interesting bit. Bloody hard though. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:23, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
I rejigged it a bit too, as I thought it sounded like each of the contestants spent two days separately doing the challenges and that they could pick which ones they wanted to complete. DYK criteria: long enough, new enough, no (really) close paraphasing, no nasty tags, hook is fine if not particularly exciting. QPQ? Belle (talk) 13:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
