I've been thinking for a while that 'Joey Essex' is a character that guy has created. His stupidity is on such a surreal level that I don't buy it's legit.

Celeb cast spoiler for next Friday
Can't wait until these "celebrity" specials are finished and the real people start playing.
For "celebrities" I don't recognise any of them.

Y'know I always enjoy Rylan. Dude's found his perfect place in life as a TV personality.

Parasport is on for the next couple of weeks, so it's moving for the last celeb special, and then we have a little break.
Adam Buxton as Jarhead makes his first appearence tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up about Thursday! Would never have known if it wasn't for this thread.
As for the new cast, well that's an improvement given I recognise two of them, the dude from Eastenders and Stacey Solomon of X Factor fame. Last week I only recognised Rylan.
I love how Richard Ayoade remains the most famous celebrity by a mile still, lol.
Looking forward to tomorrow.

Final celeb cast for tomorrow..
I just presume all the ones I don't know are 'TV Presenters'. Been working out so far.
Tom Allen (the bald one) is a comedic actor probably best known for Bleak Expectations on radio, which is fantastic. I'm only really saying this to try to get more people to listen to Bleak Expectations!

While yes Bleak Expectations is good, I'm also particularly fond of his bit on Catsdown when he used the East Coast Line train stations in an erotic novel.
On the subject of Catsdown, I assume there's a whiteboard somewhere of C4HQ with "Cats does The Crystal Maze?" written on it. Maybe underlined three times.
Not entirely sure it's something I want, as such, but it's definitely something I can see being muttered about.

Well that went very well for a start.

Lads. Lads. Lads.
...Lads.
Ayoade certainly seems like he's done three other celeb specials at this point, he's so ratty and it's the best.

Well this the strongest performance from a team so far.

Interesting to see some of the minor tweaks they've made to the puzzles. The apple basket being bolted to the floor, and having gloves for the log balancing game. The log also appeared to be looser, but hard to say if anything changed there or not.

Sounds like this is a good episode! Anyone know how fast this shit is available on 4od? Will it be right after it airs - at 10pm GMT?
EuricaeriS

It's usually 15-20 minutes after. Had to wait a bit for it after my net dropped during the last zone last week, haha

Ah thanks! This is my fave show every week now, just find Richard so hilarious.
I'll check-in on 4od around 10.30pm then. Cheers.

Were they scooping tokens off the floor or something? lol
Great episode
Ayoade was on fire, made me forget it was a celeb special at times! Impressed with the knight too, lovely dynamic going on there.JonathanEx

That was really fun. And they were really bad. Interesting to see people do really well/bad at games where we've seen the opposite previously.
That's the last celebrity special for now. A few weeks off for sport and then the regular people episodes!

Don't pretend you're not aroused.
I am sure kids were watching The Crystal Maze and that was on afterwards. They could have waited an hour.
I moved on to Forged in Fire so I didn't see anything.
The second best dating show on TV.

Worst team in the universe, lol. Good episode though. Richard mocking Joe with the Eastenders theme tune was hilarious.
Also:
Looking forward to the regular people shows coming up.
Also:
How the hell did they get 170 gold in 15 seconds? Did they cheat?

"What do you like about red?"
"She's got a nice fanny. Clean. Something I would like to go in."
That was quite the experience.
I don't believe we know when it is back yet. There were only 4 "celebrity" specials which we've had and then we get 16 normal episodes I believe for a total of 20, but they haven't announced when the normal episodes are starting. There's also a bunch of sport things on over the next few weeks so it might be taking a break till that's finished so it can move back into it's friday timeslot.
They were celebrity episodes?!
Fifteen normal; there's one further celebrity episode that'll probably be shown around Christmas.
