    Brilliant episode Dave did excellent and Rob being frustrated was hilarious to watch. Those Forfeits wouldve been great but the Ultimate Boss stopped them. I cant wait for this to continue tomorrow this is just epic.

    I love seeing how much Rob has like, grown and evolved over the years. Seemed more coy and shy at first and now since he's been free to organize more things and whatnot he seems to have come out of his shell a bit and his theatrical chops are really shining these days.
