I'm really surprised that Sajan went instead of James. That felt totally out of nowhere to me.

watching it now, usually love the advertising tasks and this is delightful from the village to the usual lovely graphic design to "Expando". How are any of these people gainfully employed?

At the end, they put a call out for competitors for the next series.



Who in their right minds would watch that episode and think that they are going to come out of it anything other than a laughing stock? Are there people that unironically watch it and think 'yes, that would be great for my career'.
I can only think of 3 people that have gone on to do something notable, Sairah (sic??) Kahn, Ruth Badger and Tom Pellereau. There is no glory in the show.

Are the candidates paid to be on the show at all? I'd hope they get something if they literally can't earn an income for their families while wasting their time on it (obviously some have other businesses or income streams but not all).

I'm confused. I thought the car was Spandau as in Spandau Ballet but then it was called Expando? Did I miss some hilarious mishearing fuckup or did they actually think Expando was in any way a suitable car name?

According to the gutter press Michaela is £100k in the hole after a failed business venture.

Regarding post show success Louisa Zuissman carved out a career as a glamour girl or whatever they’re called these days. Beats stacking shelves I guess?

I’d imagine the people who would apply after watching that farce would be perfect candidates for the show.

He pushed a poo poo email phone that let him charge 10p a message for years after everyone had free email, if anything email caught on too quick for him.

I enjoy watching this show, but more than ever it feels completely detached from reality. It feels like they're purposefully keeping the sub teams isolated for no reason but added comedy.

The growing sense that the teams have a very limited list of things they can do, and ways to do it, gets worse every year.
I'm pretty sure at this point the teams don't get to choose much of what they do in creative tasks and have a few themes to chose from. More tasks would have teams doing the same things otherwise, and Karen saying "they chose the Family theme" from last week was pretty jarring.

Also they were probably given like, three locations to choose from and one was listed as 'quaint, picturesque Norman village' and then they were forced to film there after picking it. Like, they could so easily have said 'lets just drive down the road to literally any town in the UK' but instead the 'chose to make the best of what they had'.

I would not leave my dog in the hands of these cretins. Can't believe anyone would.

e: ^it's like I forgot the show is staged as gently caress. Anyone letting their dog use the "spa" has probably had to sign a contract or something.
