[@stabileseitenlage]

​@@alexortiz9777Back when I was a trainee at work, I was told, that holding your arms out at an 90° Angle (T-Posing) and then bending the right arm at the elbow so it's in front of your chest gives you about a meter between your hands. I used to meassure Cables like that when getting them from storage. First few times I meassured them afterwards and was baffled how accurate it is, especially useful when you need about 25 meters of cable and don't have time to slowly meassure. It was even more impressive because the guy showing me the trick used it pretty accurately aswell and he was way smaller than me. Might be faster than putting it next to your forearm and also meassures approximately in a widely used scale. Forearm lenghts were used widely in history aswell, before standardized meassuring. Some historic buildings still have the "standardized forearm" mounted to their wall, it there was a market selling ropes or fabric in front of them, way back in time. That was used, so the seller wouldn't easily profit from having small forearms or mismeassuring. - people could go up to that standardized thing and meassure for themselfes, no foul excude of "my forearm is shorter" anymore.

Liza figuring out the task instantly, but the boys prattling on about H and trying to figure it out, Liza eventually giving up on waiting for them and just doing it herself and then them being like "wait what just happened" and she's like "I did the task..." made me genuinely a little sad 😭 Liza is so clever and one of my favorites this season

[@nicosmind3]

She didn't really figure it out instantly (but was pretty quick), and was very none committal when mentioning her idea "I keep thinking it's something to do with hopping" and then she went quiet. She didn't point out all her clues or explain herself (people can't read minds, we all need a little explanation). When everyone else was in a figuring out mode shouting out ideas she did nothing to differentiate her hoping idea from the noise. So I don't blame the boys for "prattling on" cause they were clueless and looking for something to grab on to. Liza needed to be more assertive if she wanted to be listened to, be she with males of females, staying quiet isn't how you're heard

[@danilooliveira6580]

I think they thought "hop" was a clue, not an answer, they acknowledged hop at the beginning, but we didn't see her saying "we are supposed to hop 100 times", so they probably thought there was no way it was that simple and were trying to figure out the other clues. I personally wouldn't have figured out because it would take me a while to realize "hop" means jump since I'm not that familiar with the expression "bunny hop"

I think Alices solution to the string task was awesome. This show always encourages you to think outside the box, so I think she should have won that task.

[@lisahenry20]

Cutting the string to something that I knew the length of was my first guess, because of the saying "how long is a piece of string? Depends on how long you cut it". But I guess the wording of the question was "this string", not "a piece of this string"

[@mattparnall4148]

Everyone hating on Tim and Asim for getting the points and that task. Two things: 1) It's a team task, in other tasks Liza gets carried, everyone does, giving points out based on contribution defeats the point of a team task. 2) They could have been more open to her, but from the start she was basically working on her own, and her just saying, it's hops at the end wasn't really an argument. They thought hops was a clue to get to jumping, and so her just saying "it's hops" with no explanation wouldn't have convinced them. Also, Tim says about jumping a hundred times, then turns and sees her hopping, thinks she's jumping, and immediately joins in. Tim at least, looked like he was trying to work with both of them.

[@iliketrains3495]

I'm glad it's not just me who noticed Tim was at least trying to contribute to hopping (plus 'hopping' doesn't have to be on just one foot, it's kind of open to interpretation). Also yeah, Liza barely did anything in the charades task, Tim and especially Asim carried that.

After 6 series I have finally realized that the room in which the contestants usually open their tasks is actually downstairs and not on the top floor.

[@onetom2222]

Yeah, they run between the kitchen on the ground floor and the room a lot.

[@MsWonderBunny]

The floor plan of the house is online from when the house was available for rent. It really helped me understand the layout. I was surprised there wasn’t a top floor!

Did anyone else catch Alex calling him Lord Greg Davies as he introduced the prize task, a reference to a prize task in an earlier series when someone officially purchased him a Lordship?

[@Brinta3]

It was a nice reference, but the Lordship thing is a total scam (you’re just paying a Chinese company to send you a fancy piece of paper, you do not actually get a title or a piece of land).

Liza saying Scramble when Greg asked what would happen if you drop a man on an egg and Russell immediately loosing it, was great

[@alexranner]

So Liza got it the fastest, no one listened to her for a long while, then she just finish the tasks, her teammates are mad at her after and then everyone in her team gets the same amount of points? YEP. That seems right.

[@Abhothra]

6 episodes in and Lisa is over 100 points already ? That's very impressive.

[@mary-kate1724]

Not when Greg is giving you points you didn't deserve. In a lot of tasks I feel some others did a better job, but Lisa almost always gets high points (for minimal effort most of the time). Someone commented on another clip that Greg plays favorites often and since then I began to notice this as well.

[@MrCh0o]

@@mary-kate1724 Thank you for voicing my thoughts c:

[@TKDDLJ09]

@@mary-kate1724 most of the tasks as of this episode has been doing things correct and fast and she just happens to do it correctly and fast. 🤔 you cant really not give her points when she does things correct and as the fastest. Also, Greg decides who gets what points and that is the whole point, he has his sense of humour and what he finds brilliant and that gets rewarded. It is his show, he is the task master, so he decides. He could also decide to take away a contestants points away if they insukt him or give more point if they flatter him ect. Ect. Thats why its so good. There is so many unstructered parts to this shiw, so you never know where he will lean.

[@Unicat9]

@@TKDDLJ09 but in this perticilar season, he leaned towards Liza on more than one occasion, weather she deserved it or not. And more than a few times, people did A LOT better than her, yet she came first or second... Nothing unexpected in that

[@E2O10]

@@Unicat9 I will reiterate Kira's point - it's a show where the points are distributed based on one person's opinion, nothing else. This show is basically us watching Greg watch some youtube clips, react to them and rate them 1-5, everything else is extra.

Makes me unreasonably happy every time Greg says "That is a lovely bit of kit."
