Greg thinks that Rosie has low self esteem? That is absolutely not the impression I get from her.
It’s been so long that I forgot about the hotdog.
I’m amazed how quickly the detective figured out the trick, and with the quotable logic of “He’s Andy Zaltzman, he knows what velvet is!”
I’m kinda disappointed that Greg chickened out of double deductions: -3 × 2 = -6 as we learnt in primary school.
Hot sauce avoidance was genius, although I don’t believe he actually knew the rules allowed it. On the other hand, Andy very was confident on that subject. yeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEES he was.
Andy’s technique of throw high (and so land vertically) was my first thought.
I thought Rosie’s solution to the fish dots was genius, although the pen was obviously superior. Andy definitely got Greg with the fisherman line, you can see his look of fascination until he realises it was just a joke. In fact, Andy’s studio lines were stupendous all episode and I was happy to see him win.
I liked “You dotted the rim” as a possible episode title - do they ever use lines from Greg or Alex or is it always contestants’ lines?
Alex’s joy and glee when it turned out that Jack’s only attempt netted the worse possible fish was beautiful to see.
Mr Poo was more disgusting than I was expecting. The voice combined with the Nutella (I assume) was too visceral.
It was weird how the studio guest would nod as he said no.
sweet stop
I think you mean sweet spot. Now I’m wondering if it’s a typo or an eggcorn.
Why is a judge allowed to compete?
I’ve been in that maze! It’s at Thorpe Park, and I went on an adult-only night with work. Baba’s pace wasn’t gentle - it would have been funny to have his attempt disqualified while in the hotdog.
And yeah - Finally we see someone else wear the hotdog! Interesting that it’s both been on non-judged tasks; I wonder if its just a coincidence or if the contestants aren’t allowed to do it for when Greg decides the points.
I like that they forced Rosie to make a smoothie so she didn’t die trying to eat that envelope. Jack’s wheelbarrow video was great, although that’s mostly because the music made it.
I hadn’t even understood the studio task by the time it finished; I’m assuming that they’d tested it with the crew beforehand and it had lasted a bit longer than that.
How did Andy the wizard go for (Costa del) Sol and not Seoul? Sol and soul aren’t even homophones!
My other half came up with the idea of putting a pair of aces in your pocket (“pocket rockets”).
As much of a cop out it is giving everyone max points, I’d have struggled to judge that art competition.
No-one played their hotdog card, er costume.
Jack wins this episode for me, partly for the line “not including the ones you take off lampposts”
Rosie’s prize task was a worthy winner, brilliant entry.
I can’t believe they actually went with the smoothie idea, especially after Baba’s reaction.
“Creatures of habit, just like nuns.” With humour like that, I’m assuming Alex enjoys cryptic crosswords.
Anyone find the mannequins’ names familiar? I wonder if it was just a callback or if they’ll appear again.
I like the idea that someone forgot to wear the hotdog outfit and brings it out for the final’s studio task.
The mannequins had the same names as the Aussie Rules team from the first season (The Yank Tank stuck in my head). I wonder if they’ll make a reappearance since now the contestants (in theory) know their names.
Others have answered, but the UK has been rabies free for over a century!
The British Isles (GB and Ireland) have been rabies free since the disease was eradicated in terrestrial animals in 1922.
forcing passengers to flee
Err, why? We know they’re not rabid since it’s the UK, so why not just ignore them?
The phrasing of “First actual case of bug being found” definitely sounds like it’s a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say “a literal bug lol”.
Edit: to be fair, OP doesn’t say that Hopper invented the term
I want David Mitchell to try this show at some point, but I doubt he’d be willing to do it.
Victoria Coren Mitchell did it, and she’s about the same “seriousness” (as comics go).
Jack Dee is a very well known face on British TV, in part for hosting Live at the Apollo before it became rotating hosts. Grumpy, dry and deadpan, he’s someone Alex has consistently mentioned when asked who he’d love to have on the show.
Rosie Jones has been on a lot of panel shows lately, and is quite a marmite taste - people seem to love or hate her. In my house we’re not a fan in large part because her punchlines are all shock humour, which doesn’t really work once you’re expecting it. I’m hoping she’ll grow as a comedian - Sarah Millican’s routine seemed to be 99% I’m fat earlier on but now she’s great.
I’ve not watched anything with Andy Zaltzman in and I don’t know the other two at all.
Andy Zaltzman’s bubbles task was a thing of beauty, it’s only right that he got the top marks.
Then him dragging that spot around on the final task, chef’s kiss
Talking of, Emma Sidi’s abysmal throwing was wonderful (and Baba channelling Dr McCoy).
Jack Dee is turning out to be the mostly-joyless joy we knew he would be.
In the studio task, did Rosie just completely fluke into the right answer with a vaguely plausible reason?
Why are you quoting a US site for a case in China?
Conversely, if the pricing is due to an error, the company can petition the court to annul the purchase contract, allowing it to refund customers without the necessity of delivering the goods.
Surely, this will apply.
There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.
Ukraine have destroyed three bridges in Kursk, which will affect Russia’s ability to get supplies to their invading forces, but they’re also rivers where it’s fairly trivial to set up temporary bridges (unless they are destroyed by drones).
While I don’t disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?
