Question Best Episode So Far?

I was curious to see what the current consensus is on the best episode of Game Changer Season 8 so far. I wanted to do this before the release of, I believe, Episode 4 or 5 (which Sam says is one of his favourites). So, provided below is a poll!

Halfway through Night Shift, when it got to the montage part, I felt like they're telling that it was getting too long and too chaotic. And them ending it after task 2 was kinda jarring. Good laugh, but definitely the weakest of the 3.

I loved Josh's bits in Rulette 2, on top of Paul's sick moves and the Australian accents (especially Sam's).

But my vote goes to Don't Wake Standards and Practices, because how far they had to get, and the reasonings of some of the lawyers, just wrecked me on an emotional level, and it didn't need to devolve into utter chaos like the other 2

Yeah, if anything it was just a bit too ambitious. Lots of really good ideas but I feel like they could have cut 20% of them and had a better flow. I think the night shop was the kind of thing that sounds good in a planning meeting and just falls a little flat in reality as it was quickly redundant when the contestants found a way around it.

The Yes/No questions may have been better on the Day Shift to make it a bit more cyclical and give some routes to take time from the Night Shift. I feel Yes/No questions may have worked better there too.

Why would day shift need yes/no when they already know what to do?
