well yes, it was definitely an impossible task, but i think the focus was more about ideas and concepts rather than the end product.

They were all being thrown together with generic assets from an environment builder by people who know what they're doing. They absolutely could have made a room with some basic puzzles in an afternoon.

That metahuman technology is so impressive, with that kind of performance and facial capture just with a phone.

Just watching this now, the amount of head shaking from Karen and Tim :lol:

Medieval Escape and Fallen Escape…… how bloody brilliant are those names? :lol:

I do wonder how edited these “done in an afternoon” portions are of the majority of tasks.

Edit, the choosing of the boardroom candidates bit :lol:

Last edit, no surprise with the firing, next task is nearly always a great episode as well.

In a week Tomb Raider has made its return to the public conscious, no way was the reference to Lara Croft and subsequent showing of the Tomb Raider Experience coincidental, was it…

I did wonder that, but then I have no idea when this episode will have been finalised and whether the release date of Tomb Raider Remastered was known then or not.

What planet do these people live on :lol: wanting minimum 50% and 75% off the price of everything :lol:

Edit, this series has been brilliant so far, for all the wrong reasons :lol: Formula E task next week, what’s the betting one of them mentions petrol or diesel in some part of it?

"A jersey, that could be anything" :fp:

Sugar absolutely devastated they ruined his favourite task.

At the end, I just had visions of the escaping cars being boxed in by Sugar's private police force to drag them all back.

More than two deserved to be sacked for that, what a bunch of numpties.

It’d be an utter waste of an hour, but I’m tempted to rewatch last nights episode, feel like this has been the best series in the last few years!

I can see the taller blonde winning it though, no idea what her name is, but the one who did the deal on the surfboard even though they ran out the shop before running back in :fp:

Formula E teams - “make it about water” ?

Before the corporate sponsor pitch “just don’t interrupt” people interrupt as soon as possible :lol:

The logos :dread: the adverts :dread:

Genuinely makes Honda’s, Earth Dream F1 car look like great advertising :lol:

Edit, genuinely shocked at the result :lol:

As someone who has created motor racing branding that's still used on cars today, I wanted to shoot myself in the face repeatedly though the branding bit.

We need a car.... quick, Google a Ferrari 360 rear end, love trace it in illustrator and then colour it blue.

AAAAAARGH

While all the episodes have been terrible, thats the first one where it felt genuinely cringeworthy in a very, bad way.

Flo is going to win it, not because she's amazing, she's just not utterly inept like most of the other candidates.

I still don't get how the sea is supposed to have anything to do with Formula E?

They're electric cars, not power boats!

Just managed to catch up, another laughable episode. I did like Tre in this episode, his speech to the companies was brilliant.
How could they get it so wrong with branding and those adverts were just terrible.
