Fern's breakdown during the snort-raspberry-whistle task was a thing of wonder to watch.

Dara's play was fantastic and also it's always funny to see british people pretend to sound American. They always sound constipated.

I think it's what Dara said: just varying degrees of "kinda southern" as they drag out the vowels.

I don’t wanna watch Dara half heartedly tie the scarf around his ankle, then easily win if his guess was right or do middle of the pack if he’s wrong. I wanna see stuff like Kerns tie it balls to the wall around his neck and look like a psycho trying to take it off. It would have been even more satisfying if his crazy idea won him the task.

But that's kinda the point -- based on what (admittedly little) I know of Dara, I would expect him to play the middle-of-the-road straight man. I imagine the producers picked him for that reason too, because they knew they'd have complete space cadets in Fern and Kearns to balance it out.

Not that I would mind seeing a Champion of Lunatics series. Just pure chaos elementals in every seat. Greg would have to be tied to his throne lest he throttle a contestant per episode.

I'm far from being super-knowledgeable about UK comedians, but this is the first season I don't recall seeing any of the contestants before. I think I might have heard of Frankie Boyle, but that's about it.

Victoria Coren Mitchell, Alice Levine, Charlotte Richie, and Katherine Parkinson are all of the presenter/actor persuasion vs. comedian. They were all fantastic on the show, if for different reasons. Victoria losing her mind throughout was a highlight for me.

First episode felt... just really flat. Really strange choice to open the series with that dud of a task.

"Choose one of the objects on the table in front of you. The first item you touch will be the one you will be using during the remainder of the task.

*camera pans to show a cricket bat (actually made of paper mache), a pocket edition dictionary of Shakespearean insults, one pillowcase (filled with foam bricks), another pillow (filled with actual bricks), an egg*

Alex hands them another task

Break Escobarbarian's legs. You have one attempt. Most broken leg bones using smallest objects wins. Your time starts when you catch Escobarbarian."

I have to say this is turning out to be one the lesser series in my opinion. It has it's moments but overall it's just not clicking as much as others.

Agreed, although we may be in minority on this one. The cast is largely giving me nothing, Frankie and Mae in particular.

I can only remember like a single thing Alan, Desiree, and Guz did the whole series. (The puzzle task, sand eating, and the paint-covered hopper respectively).

ALSO! I was annoyed that no one acknowledged Lucy's prize task entry. She brought in literal old crap. Maybe still not worth more than 1 point, because there's not much chance Greg would like it, but it was a deeper entry than it seemed at first glance.

Kinda doubt it was though:
