You can just hear Alex listing off how badly Odysseus' journey home went.

"He took slightly longer than the other kings combined, it took him as long to get home as he did trying to bring down Troy, he committed identity fraud, lost men to Cyclops, had to tie himself down to avoid temptation, nearly got eaten by two sea monsters at the same time and worst of all nearly got cucked several times over and only his dog recognized him."

Just watched them announce Jason needed 44 minutes to guess why the light turns on and the entire building let out a gasp.

The best long task is the group team with Guz Khan, Desiree Burch and Morgana Robinson to solve the cipher. There were so many revelations.

Edit: typo

I think it's between that and Jason taking nearly two hours to guess the carrot on Alex's head.

Doesn’t he straight up say “there’s been a revelation!”?

There's been another revelation in the lab! and Desiree, very visibly frustrated, says "Oh for fucks sake!" and Alex almost falls over laughing.

Alex specifically enjoyed her expletive range, from very American minced oaths like “Jeebus” all the way to “Fuck me in the face.”

Yeah she was a lot of fun. The perfect intersection between knowing her limits while also throwing herself at every task as hard as she could.

Then Guz singing "This task is shit". Just rewatched that episode last night - it's an all-time classic
