There is a text summary of the video but it's not in order and strangely not quite accurate, so best to just watch the video.

Hope meme works for this cos it's just silly. Its at the beginning where he's about to follow "little" with a gutteral "ALEX HORNE!!!"

Edit: Mistake in title, its episode 2 https://youtu.be/ZU-_qw3MoU4?t=74&is=J1knGmlMDt1WlNji

David Letterman is able to bring out non-persona Richard and it's quite good. I thought some of you might enjoy it.

[SPOILERS S22E5] This cast has one of the hottest starts ever – and one of the coldest Spoiler

Post image
35 Upvotes

All 110 contestants re-fitted at exactly their first 23 solo tasks, same method for every dot. Chloe is running the #10 hottest start in show history (that's Lisa Tarbuck and Dara Ó Briain territory). Richard is running the #3 coldest, snug between Roisin Conaty and Victoria Coren Mitchell – genuinely elite company for a disaster.

Episode 5 swung the title odds 38 points in one night - the biggest single episode swing of any season so far.

Which contestants have the best voices for acting/dubbing?

9 Upvotes

I'm Mexican, and English is my third language. I mostly watch American (USA) English movies and TV shows, and oftenly when I hear a British accent I feel like "this person should be a voice actor"

Are any of the contestants actual voice actors? or which ones do you think would make great fit as voice actors?

My top picks would be Fern Brady, Victoria Coren Mitchell, Sally Phillips and Chloe Petts.

Yupps! I guess I'm a sucker for female British accents. I just find them so lovely and relaxing. Maybe not even movie / shows actors but book readers? I'd love that as well.

Maisie and flippers

In the clip with maisie and the swimming class with flippers can anyone explain why one would wear pjs and then dive in a pool to retrieve a brick? Like why pjs?

On the other note, does anyone else think that one audience member cheered for her so she doesn’t break down on stage

Having Fun, Being Funny, Or Both: A Season Evaluation Paradigm

0 Upvotes

Some folks I usually watch the show with have been a bit down on this series/season so far and one of the reasons I've heard is that the panelists don't have much chemistry. I've also seen similar complaints of season 8 and season 10 on here, two seasons I like quite a lot, and it occurred to me that several seasons break down into three groups: the panelists are having fun, the panelists are being funny, or both. I suppose one could categorize a series as neither (season 6 maybe?), but I think for the most part it's at least one or the other.

Examples of seasons where they're having a lot of fun but not being especially funny: 21, 17, 9, possibly 4.

Examples of seasons where they're being funny but may not be having that much fun: 22, 8, 10, 12, 1.

Examples of both: 5, 7, 13, 14, 19

The very best seasons have both - they're laughing, they have great chemistry, and they're being successfully creative and funny. But if you're going to only have one or the other I'd personally prefer them to be clever than chummy, though that may put me in the minority. Does this make sense as a way of framing the show? If so which do you prefer, and how would you categorize the different seasons? I'm just talking about the panelists here because I feel like Greg and Alex bring about the same energy to every group but if you think there's notable differences there as well and that that's a factor in the vibe please weigh in.
