"And the step count so close to the target. " I think that was helped by the fact that Alex told her when they were on 410 steps, then ran out of questions, then stood there waiting for her to say the line to end the task because he knew they'd gone over the count. If Alex had kept asking questions they could have been walking forever.

Alex's looks after she says the final "pardon?" and "what?" were the greatest, my favorite of these interviews by far

I paused the video to scroll down and see if any NMJ fans were watching. The real question is indeed not whether a spider has lungs

each step was supposed to reflect a second from the start of the interview until the end. the solution being that as soon as the last question is asked, you thank Alex and end up very close to the required number. It's also the reason that after several short answers he checks the pedometer and jogs on the spot, to catch up the expected steps at any given point.

I am absolutely certain that, as soon as she saw this task, she decided "nope, that's bullshit, I'm just gonna take the piss out of alex"

She is the only one I have ever seen get on Alex's nerves. I love her.

Alex is hilarious during this whole bit, but the funniest thing was Bridget after the task is over just staring at the task and says “…the retina.”
