@@DragOnDani01 Yeah, if it weren't for Greg giving out those bonus points, 2 season finale will have a tie points. And also, Morgana's bonus point was just him being amused by her sassiness unlike Josh's bonus point to do multiple individual secret task that aren't part of the official tasks and doesn't give any official points.

Well, 148 IS NOT 150. It's binary. It is or is not 150. 150 was the required amount, no more, no less. If it is not achieved, no points should be.

[@jaredc5791]

@@JeremyTheGraten Well the task was "5 months." 150 was just shorthand math, roughly 30 days a month, times 5, equals 150. What if there was a February? We don't know exactly how many texts he needed (though I'm aware there is no situation it isn't -at least- 150).

[@thomas.leitner]

Just in case someone is interested: quote: RadioTimes previously spoke to series director Andy Devonshire.. Although the small team that work behind the scenes on the show (only around 15-20 people in total) come up with “a few”, it’s Alex Horne who thinks up the majority of the weird, wonderful and hilarious tasks. “Alex is basically a superhero in terms of his humour and wit,” said Andy. :end quote
