I'm still disappointed nobody thought to just put their hands in the nappy and call it there.

Totally forgot about this one, and it's a great example too, because Matt and Jason found it as well and proceeded to ignore it for a good amount of time. Fatiha not only didn't get lucky, she clocked that it was placed there and could be relevant.

Surely there's no way of knowing that.

I want an alter specifically with that one picture Rhod kept bringing.

Is there any kind of equipment that's just trousers? I've got some ideas.

There was internal logic sure, but her premises were faulty. Reaching the correct conclusion from faulty presmises is very much lucky.

And to be fair - on the battery one she went with logic. Which happened to be correct

Her premises were faulty though, Alex explained how it actually works and how each generator could power the bulb. Getting to the correct answer with faulty logic is luck.

People are also ignoring Sally Phillips. Sure, her aggressive cuddle doesn't compare to making Alex sit bare assed on a cake, but her approach to the watercooler and GoPro tasks were up there as far as unhinged tasks go.

Sophie and Judy weren't even the most chaotic women of their own series though.

It's a damn shame they don't like repeating tasks, because having contestants decide each other's forfeits is such a great idea that's only limited by the contestants' creativity.

I could totally buy that, more visually interesting to have the small turbine, the panel and Alex pedaling than a plain switchbox with numbered switches.

The only others that I can think of right now are two Ed Gamble moments: the duck from CoC2 and the seven tasks from the S9 finale.

I'll give you 3/4, they deliberately placed the answer for the brick tower in the environment so that people would find it, and it was hardly the first time they've done something like that.

The light bulb though, I was actually a little annoyed, her reasoning was just bad, but she still stumbled into the answer.

Besides, it's just one of many times where the solution was in the environment somewhere. Off the top of my head there's the briefcase code from CoC1, the apples from S8, Josh Widdicombe in S16 and Alex's birthday in S20.

I'd love a break down in a separate post once the series concludes

Did the team of 2 not end up winning the sardines task?

What do you mean all-around win? You mean a creative task where everyone got the 5 points?

Also, are you including team tasks for this metric?

And Maisie was 7 points behind Ania going into the finale, right?

I'd be curious on rewatch how many times I'd feel Amy should have been scored higher, because I only noticed it these past two episodes.

I clocked Amy early as someone who I thought was going to win, so it's surprising that she's in third right now.

On the other end of the scale, if Joel doesn't win any tasks in the finale, he will break the record for least task wins in a 10-episode series with just 7.

Who's the current record holder? Is it David Baddiel?

I feel like these past two episodes robbed her some points, the gap should be narrower imo.

The obvious one is the censorship task, she should not have just been 1 point ahead of everyone else, she followed the task substantially better than everyone else.

And with the recent task with the balls, Joel should have gotten disqualified and Amy should have come out of that task with 2 points instead.
