    I'd say there should be a bonus point for being the best for a category (if they build the tallest sugarcube tower, one bonus point, this might necessitate having more than 7 opponents).
    The final round, when eliminating opponents, the contestants have a decent chance of making it harder for themselves based on who they eliminated. This may be intentional.
    The audience should learn how well all the opponents did during the final task. I wanted to know if they made the right decision for who they eliminated.

      Well if that happens, 1 + 2 + 3 points + 3 = 9 points, which is more than the total of 7 other people. Which means they can eliminate everybody. If they eliminate everybody they instantly win £50.00. Which is not fun.

    Great video guys, loved it! A few things stood out to me in terms of editing, take it for what you will. There were a few instances where something was referenced and it didn't come full circle. The one that pops into mind was in the setup for the domino challenge, the editing made it seems like Em had already been eliminated from the picks, but then in the end they chose someone else. Basically it seems like we missed some of the conversation there that would have made it more clear. Either way, just a few of those little things, but loved it overall!

    Based on this and the last episode, the prize tiers are always ten, twenty, or fifty thousand pence. Since the team this time scored exactly four points they had three competitors at the end, and the prize tiers were simply defined by the number of people they beat. This leads me to wonder: what would the prize tiers have been based on if they had scored a different number of points in the main game?
