    When the old Wembly Stadium was demolished, the rubble was taken to some undeveloped land just to the side of the A40 in West London. They piled up the rubble in 4 heaps, later they covered the 4 heaps with soil and grass seeds, then landscaped them. The hill that they had to put the 3 yoga balls on top of, is one of those heaps.

    The ball task from season 2 was changed in Sweden in that the matt wasn't movable. However they had the shed so one guy cut the balls open. This was like Richard's attempt controversial to the group. At one point one person said "So if you'd cut open a puppy, is it still a puppy?" and he said something in style of "A dead puppy is the same as a deflated ball" and they argued the hell out of the task.

    I've always thought you could have beaten the egg golf by just picking the egg up and placing it in each hole by hand. Because then you have zero shots, so in the calculation of "Shots x Eggs x Minutes" you'll have a 0 for shots, rendering the entire score 0 no matter what.

    • @Jayk-kz7sh
      @Jayk-kz7sh Před 3 lety +30

      Weirdly the way to win the egg mini golf task was by not actually playing golf as you said. Like Roisin was the only one to not take any actual shots? She just gently swept the eggs with her club the entire way through, so Alex could only count each “shot” from the moment she stopped dragging it. So she had an insanely low number of shots x only 1 egg (since she never broke any) x a pretty fast time, and won as a result. I think Alex even realized that the way he calculated the score was insanely broken because everyone else racked up a golf score in the thousands

    I'd have put the ball in the bag, chipped it into the air and overhead kicked it into the goal (right on the line of course, I'm no pro). None of them seemed to realise the ball was there.

      Should have taken one egg out at three minutes and left the others in for longer.

    For the egg golf task, did they ever say you had to like restart from where you shot if the eggs break? Feels like everyone was playing it differently

    James’s hula attempt is just painful to watch, especially since he practiced nearly every day for months. Ugh.

    Don't know why with the gym balls on the hill no one tried carrying two and kicking one up

    So they've shown Paul and Iain's run but not Joe's? He was running for like a minute while screaming.
