I still can’t believe Josh got that tattoo when the show was on its 1st series and only had 6 eps. It’s absolutely insane and definitely set the bar for the task prizes other contestants brought in the later series.

[@iluvdissheet]

Yes! But when is the last time we saw it 🤔 If Josh still has it......the dedication is solid! Still Epic! But it was almost 10 years ago....think he still has it?

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

​@@iluvdissheetpretty sure he does. Bet there are days he even forgot he has it.

[@luminousfaedust]

It wasn't even a prize task either. It was one assigned to them via a letter and brought into the studio and Josh was just like "Fuck it, we ball" and honestly, the bar he set? Amazing. Honestly it's that kind of energy that I think contributed to him being the first Champion of Champions as well.

[@benglaser1345]

I love that Jess whispered to Kerry too "Oh that's what I was about to ask" - or maybe even "Oh that's what I was worrying about". The audio gets cut off a little

[@gianabakanos9131]

The fact that this was a question I think just makes Jess' fall even more spectacular. Such a great moment on TM

Joe got cheated. Most trainers lift up at the toe. There's no actual proof he made contact with the red green. If you look at his right foot in the last shot, you can see that the toe of his shoe isn't in contact with the ground when his foot is flat.

[@heinrich..]

17:47 funfact: the probability of getting right 13 cards in a row is 0.5^13 = 0.0122%

[@James-gm9cs]

What's the probability if she could see the cards through the reflection on his glasses?

[@MrPsychomonkey]

But that is if it was at random independent. But Greg choosing the card means your playing against the person and previous outcomes

[@tabzywabzy]

I've always thought Katy or someone must have been helping her but I've never found any clips that prove anything. Because the probability really is wild!! (I just thought Katy because in one shot she's touching her hair but most likely just coincidence)

[@helenl3193]

​@@James-gm9csbut if she could do that, surely all of them could have? Why would she be the only one to notice it? (& if she was, wouldn't that make it a valid tactic, in light of other TM 'outside the box' solutions?)

[@James-gm9cs]

@helenl3193 it's possible that because she's quite short she was at the right angle to see the reflection. Or it's that they weren't looking at Greg properly while trying to guess to see it.

[@josephchambers2000]

0:54 it looks like James is somehow trying to catch her, after the fact and a good distance away from where she ended up.

[@unacceptablefailurerate6453]

I assume it was just to be funny or that sort of cringe you feel when someone gets hurt/falls and you're uncertain if it is bad or not yet. Or it just took his brain a few to realize it. Knowing someone is going down a runway and hearing the audience, about all you can imagine going wrong is that they fell (off the side, maybe more probably just down onto the stage itself, or into the drum), but it still might not immediately come to you when blindfolded.

[@echognomecal6742]
