Let’s discuss tasks, contestants and the show in general.
Spoilers ahead.
I think this series ranks pretty high for me. I’m kind of surprised that some people were disappointed by Jack Dee’s appearance. Mostly, it seemed he was just “being Jack Dee”, but you definitely could tell he was enjoying himself, at least in the studio (where you could see him trying to hide how much he was smiling and laughing). Jack and Rosie’s team (Captain Jackie and the Hot Dog!) was one for the ages.
Baba’s particular combination of confidence and cluelessness was chef’s kiss.
He breaks his miserable front quite a few times, my favourite being when the robot shows where to plug in the charging cable.
Baba was probably the worst contestant they’ve ever had. I was hoping to warm up to him over the course of the series, but he brought precious little to the table. Jack was fine—a bit disappointing in light of how obviously excited Alex was to have finally got him on. Loved the other three, top marks for them!
Wasn’t a huge fan of the pub quiz. Loved the goose, and all of Andy’s prize tasks. Found Alex’s blatant efforts to tilt things Jack’s way kind of off-putting. Ignoring Baba’s obvious running in the maze task was disappointing. Glad Andy won, look forward to seeing him on CoC.
Not my favorite series but it did have it’s good bits. Cheeky Lil’ Banana Boy was the highlight for me.
Baba’s “Present the Goose” attempt was so cringe-inducing. I’m a new fan of his thanks to this series, but woof.
Tbf I would stink at any of these open-ended creative tasks.
