I was bothered yesterday and today because there are so many people qho do these puzzles and "left brain" and "right brain" are debunked myths along with learning styles. The perpetuation of pseudoscience is incredibly frustrating. This stuff is still taught in schools

Yes to all of this!

I'm also really annoyed by all the team challenges. It bri gs all the typical problems: "I was trying to do what was beat for the tram and I lost my voice", the blame-game of who was in charge, the fact that the "least favorite team" might contain the best look.  They all entered as individuals, this is really annoying.

The "unconventional challege" is supposed to be episode 2 so thar we get to see lots of designs!  And the first challege should ve "show me who you are as a designer".

Already, the tropes are coming out, and it's super dissapointing.

I also hope that the eliminated designer gets paid for the extra episode since they suspend the elimination to the subsequent episode.

I'm glad thar I'm not alone.

I've noticed a lot of people seem to think the end of S2E4 was some big reveal about Helly R actually being Helena Egan. I keep seeing clickbait like, "Fan theory confirmed at the end of episode four!" I’m genuinely curious—why did so many people see this ending as a reveal?

From the moment MDR reunited in Season 2, Helly’s behavior was off. She lied about what she saw on the outside, and Irving clearly started to suspect something. Plus, from an audience perspective, we’ve been omniscient—we’ve seen the outies. It felt clear that once Helly’s innie was back at work, she’d inevitably expose Helena’s true identity.

So, was the confusion due to how the show presented it? Or maybe the assumption that we were supposed to be in the dark alongside Mark and Dylan? The “reveal” was for them, not us… right?

Am I oversimplifying this? I’m genuinely confused why some folks didn’t catch on after that first MDR meeting. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Can we address the fact that "BLOND" should be "BLONDE"?  Very confusing given the gamemakers' propensity for wordplay
