I know last season had Mae Martin who sucked the joy out of every episode, but it did feel like a death rattle.
Hopefully there's not another personality vortex this season.I know last season had Mae Martin who sucked the joy out of every episode, but it did feel like a death rattle.
The cast are fine, but the tasks are facing the same challenge as the original. There's too many "here's a thing, now make it funny please comedian" tasks. Also they had an interesting task where it was about making a teenager think you were cool, and then in the end they just had Cardboard Jeremy score it, like what about the teenager? There was also one earlier task where someone did something absurd, and he just went "okay" and moved on. And not in the "I'm highlighting the absurdity of that by just saying okay and moving on" way. Just the "I'm a personality vacuum" way.How are you finding this season? Been a bit of a let down for me after the 3 stellar previous seasons - don't think the cast are anywhere near as good as the previous ones.
Yeah and there were some genuinely bonkers responses to it. All undermined by not even getting her to give a quick opinion about it. No point to her being there at all.Also they had an interesting task where it was about making a teenager think you were cool, and then in the end they just had Cardboard Jeremy score it, like what about the teenager?
Definitely the weakest of the 4 series, but I've still enjoyed it. Bubbah has been a great contestant for me.How are you finding this season? Been a bit of a let down for me after the 3 stellar previous seasons - don't think the cast are anywhere near as good as the previous ones.
I'm surprised at how negative this place was about last season. A good example of group think imo.I know last season had Mae Martin who sucked the joy out of every episode, but it did feel like a death rattle.
I knew nothing about Sam but after looking into his appearances on Australian TV, I think he'll probably be the funniest.Thought that was a very good start and really excited for the rest of this series.
Sam and Lucy are totally nuts which bodes well
She isn't like that on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown so I assume she's exaggerating.Yeah enjoyed that.
I always wonder if Lucy is genuinely like that or that good of a writer/actor. It's a bit Pilkington.
I honestly don't think any of those three knew the other two. Lucy seemed to have heard of Julian but aside from that, I doubt any of them knew the others names.Yeah, that was good. That first team task was ultra awkward huh?
Yep. I binged the last season just last week and was surprised at the negativity when I read through here. Both at the season in general and Mae Martin specifically, who I didn't think was any worse than some previous try-hards like Richard Herring.I'm surprised at how negative this place was about last season.

I didn't say this, because agreeing with that tool only makes his head bigger, but Hobs had some good points about last season especially on the location.I'm surprised at how negative this place was about last season. A good example of group think imo.
She's still ditzy on that, and on that Richardson's show, but not to the same level. I think she's probably a better writer than people know about.She isn't like that on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown so I assume she's exaggerating.
She definitely knows who Clarey is, they all do as comedians. He probably had no idea of any of them though (well apart from Perkins)I honestly don't think any of those three knew the other two. Lucy seemed to have heard of Julian but aside from that, I doubt any of them knew the others names.

I dont really judge each season as I normally enjoy them all. Some are better than others definitely.She definitely knows who Clarey is, they all do as comedians. He probably had no idea of any of them though (well apart from Perkins)
I'm pretty sure they know who is on the show as they are told strictly not to talk to them about the tasks should they bump in to each other.I wonder if the team task is the first time they know who else is on the show or at least their team.
I know they film the tasks well in advance and next season's are probably nearly finished as we speak
Yeah, so funny watching him in the king Arthur task and his prize task was actually so well delivered.Julian Clary is actually quite funny so far.
This looks pretty silly now. Most recent episode was one of the funniest in ages.I think it's a dead format now
Think the egg peeling or repurpose an umbrella ones run it close.That nickname task from last week must be the worst one ever?
Yeah, was pretty bad that one.That nickname task from last week must be the worst one ever?
7 with Gilbert is a masterclass.Been binging this. Started with the Lee Mack series, because he's a favorite. Then started all the way from 1.Just done with series 5.
Yeah it's been good imo.Nobody watching the current series or is it just not worth commenting on?
