"Gotta get all the balls in the bucket or this will never end." Alex obviously having had enough. LOL. It's your fault Alex! You bring this on yourself. 😂 I think there are a few contestants who will break Alex this season. Should be a good one!

Yes John!

That senna answer to the Brazil question is a big yes

Key here is to stack the buckets and then tip the balls on top I think. Then all the balls are in their buckets. They're just not sorted in any manner.

A complete success to me. ❤

John is going slightly mad, he's going slightly mad, it finally happened.

Isn’t he the guy from the Bohemian Rhapsody and BHS advert ? 😂

“Acceptance is the key” yes John, yes it is. 😂

Finally they have got John Robins on the show. He is hilarious! Should be on TV more often. They have really missed a trick not having him on more often!
