This episode - unsurprisingly since we're down to a manageable number of trainees for my brain to keep track of - is where I really started having Feelings, Oh No - this week they are a herd of gnu, I am learning so much - I thought they MUST have gone and come back, they are clearly CLEAN in a way they weren't last week, I hope and pray that for 14 trainees there is some kind of shower situation now. Although I note the food is no better :( - Groups! At last some teamwork points! I am amused because I've now seen these methodologies for creating Reality Show Drama at least somewhere before (this was how they picked teams in Physical 100) but yes as mentioned above they create commendably little tension about it all. I do think that in this very challenging context they probably have an enhanced sense of it being all of THEM versus the production team tbh - 2pm My House! A song I know entirely through it being covered on reality and variety! The cover section was fun, I liked having the original singers there - Making them swap people was mean - probably fair for how they need to ensure these kids can trauma bond to whoever they are put with, but still not pleasant. I do feel for Ju An always number one and now bottom, I'm not surprised he volunteered... but who will swap where?
