Series One Athlete Rajko gave us his opinion on week nine in India.
Was he surprised by Ed's victory? What are his predictions for the fianl? Read what he had to say below, or listen to the telephone interview above.
Rajko: When the athletes were in India the living conditions were extreme and it just brought back memories for me. I thought poor guys, they must have had a rough week.
It’s hard enough to sleep if you have a couple of noisy people around you but if you've got 70 sweaty young guys sleeping in the same room probably with very little air flow, I really felt bad for those guys.
I think that sometimes the sleeping arrangements can affect your whole experience because you are in a different time zone for a start and struggling to sleep.
To be perky and on your top form during the day is really hard so I had a lot of respect for all six of them because they didn't seem to make excuses.
They complained a little the first day but then after that they had no excuses and performed really well.
I'm fairly sure that JJ would have won the episode if he hadn't pulled out because he had good experience in that kind of wrestling and he is very mobile and good at grappling and that's what that was.
JJ could not only do it well but it looked good and sometimes that's as important as being effective especially when the local people are judging your performance. I'm pretty sure that he would have won.
Sometimes I can relate to Wolé.
He hasn't struck me as being arrogant.
I think a few people may have thought he was at the start but as the series has gone on he has struck me as someone who knows his ability and is going to do his best.
If he has a good chance to win then he will say it.
The only problem is when you are self confident in that sense then you get put up against the really hefty dudes.
In terms of experience and skill Wolé should have really been up against someone like a middle weight but because he is so strong then he had to go up against the heavy weight.
I know for a fact what that was like because in Senegal if we had gone against the real heavy weights we would have just got absolutely destroyed. So I think that Wolé, by being incredibly strong and sure and by not holding back unfortunately set himself up to have the hardest fight.
Considering it's probably going to be an endurance race my predictions for the final is that Wolé is unlikely to win.
It's disappointing to know that he isn't going to be a challenger in this one.Almost like Brad going into the final when it was also an endurance race.
I would have to say if I was a betting man then I would probably put my money on Ed to win.
Next week an exclusive video of Mark, Rajko and Richard on the couch talking about this series and their view on the Last Man Standing.
There are no upcoming episodes of this programme.
Six intrepid athletes travel the world to compete against the most remote tribes on earth at their own sports.
Hear what they had to say about the previous episodes:
It's week nine and our athletes are in India trying a spot of Kushti, an ancient form of mud-pit wrestling!
Production Co-Ordinator Tim Pyke takes us behind the scenes in India.
I was hoping Joey won this one, no one seems to like him cos he comes accross spoilt but i think he is just frustrated as hes not performing...
