Both Julian and Sam are in my all time favorites already. I fully disagree that Sam is going too try-hard. While he is way ahead, I don’t think he’s above doing ridiculous stuff for a laugh, and his liners get genuine show stopping laughter almost every time. He’s just putting more frantic effort in. We haven’t really seen many yet, but the frantic effort of Sam will likely backfire multiple times throughout the season. They love putting up tasks where that frantic energy is a huge detriment.

sam seems like a hyperactive child and hyperactive energy looks a lot like tryhard energy but yeah julian clary owns. he briefly murdered his own career in the 90s because at the comedy awards he joked that he'd been fisting a politician backstage

On the podcast Sam just shouted SEX loudly at one point and talked about how Australian version of some show game has monkeys. So random. I don't dislike him on this, it's nice to have real different personalities and he's actually good at the tasks, but hoo boy.

I wonder how Julian would have done if he had just read off of the scrambled signboard after they picked it up and said his new nickname was L'Cray. But even with Butch, he should have done better. The task was to come up with a nickname, not a comic book alterego or a character for a lovely theme park.

Task was to come up with a new nickname based on something you did in the 20 minutes the task allots. This also makes Sam’s nickname not work, but it really spikes Julian’s as pretty poo poo. Dr. Cool Aids posted:sam seems like a hyperactive child and hyperactive energy looks a lot like tryhard energy Sam gives me big ADHD energy. And there seems to be quite a lot of rumbling online about him possibly being autistic (which is super often co-morbid with ADHD and has tons of symptom overlap). At least to me, I read his energy as that way more than tryhard. It all seems extremely genuine and it’s wonderful.

Sam does this thing where he pauses a little bit before saying a joke quite often and I think that can make him look a bit tryhard. But for me he has such an overall odd vibe that it seems less like he's forcing the joke and more like it's a quirk. It's like he's lacking a certain smoothness to him, he just stop-starts and jerks about in his actions and expressed emotions a lot. I'm enjoying him quite a lot on the show. I honestly don't have a problem with anyone this season. I think Julian is my favorite though. I just wanna sit down to lunch with him and cattily gossip about people we know (because we're old friends, obviously). Phigs fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Oct 6, 2023 |

Sam is certainly trying very hard to win, but there's nothing wrong with that. Previous contestants have put in enormous amounts of effort as well, whether it be from uncanny physical ability, or meta-gaming and trying to find a loophole or trick. He's just weaponizing his "ADHD energy" as another poster phrased it. As long as it makes for good telly, I'm game.

Alhazred posted:It's funny how he is doing the bare minimum and yet is in the lead while Susan is really trying and is falling behind. Just look at the golf task, where he is like "wait, this isn't a hole... oh, there it is" in about three seconds, compared to Sue, Susan, and Lucy running all over the field. Sure, in some tasks, the hole would have been at some random flag, and they all would have beaten Julian in such a hypothetical setup. But probably just as often, it is something like happened here, and a patient, observant contestant (or perhaps just one that doesn't give a gently caress and is in no particular rush) will win. Home decor in the shape of sex organs also seems to be a guaranteed minimum three points in prize tasks, so Julian's got a major advantage there.

My parents were watching that the other day and I mentioned to them that Roisin Conaty is the one that introduced them to each other and my moms response was "That woman's got a lot to answer for!" Also Lucy mentioned in Ed's podcast that Jon is still super salty about losing the "throw rabbits in the hat" task - which he believes cost him the overall series win lol
