I feel like Greg realised how badly he screwed over Phil in the first two tasks so tried to give him as many points as possible after that, he even let Phil off the hook for breaking a glass as it wasn't a 'pair of glasses', when usually the contestant themself would have to contest that in order to circumvent the rules. It's also possible Greg gave the men's team a sympathy point since the ladies had the advantage due to being professional actresses, in the most recent series Sarah Millican was given the win in a musical task even though it was clear she was bad at singing, while actual musician Munya Chawawa scored low.

The studio task had me in tears. It was so chaotic. Phil not letting go of Kerry's leg, Rhod screaming and swearing at the audience, Jess losing her doughnut and Greg's struggle with Rhod throughout. Hands down the best live task they've ever had!

31:12 James can be seen using the optimal box sealing technique.

i love how at the thought of a cliffhanger, both the groups individually thought of a 'pregnant lady.'

Phil is literally the only person who followed the rules for the 50 things task, yet he came last. - Most seasons, there is a pretty clear example of someone who Greg unfairly punishes. I don't really mind that much - this show never even attempts to portray itself as fair - but it's definitely wrong to make out like those who do poorly are being punished fairly. Phil deserves many more points than he is getting. And by that same token, Rhod doesn't deserve nearly as many as he gets.

@stephendavis6267

@@Threadoflength Not exactly the same, and here's why: 1. Romesh came second overall in his series; even if he never got to win an episode, and even though Greg picked on him a lot, he still did very well in the actual tasks themselves. He only lost because Josh Widdecombe got the bonus point for his solo counting task. 2. Joe barely put a lot of effort in several of his tasks. Greg picking on him was justified (and hilarious) because Joe obviously knew he hadn't done well in most of them, which is why it was great whenever he would succeed ("There's strength in arches!") 3. Paul was kind of like Joe in that there were times it didn't feel like he put a lot of effort in, particularly in terms of the prize tasks, but his demeanor made him the perfect person from the season to pick on. Besides, he was also on a series with Dave, who cheated constantly, and Al, who used money to solve a lot of his problems, so it felt like there was a balance there. 4. Hugh is interesting because he actually tried to outfox the game, and Greg wasn't having it. I do feel he was unfairly judged on a few of the prize tasks, but beyond that (and a few token age gags), it never felt like Greg was picking on him personally. 5. Mark got picked on more because of his relationship with Alex and his awkwardness, but it was Nish who was the real punching-bag of the series. 6. This entire series is weird because I feel that no one got unnecessarily picked on, but Liza Tarbuck was weirdly favored at times that I don't feel was deserved. But that's an argument for another day. Problem is, everyone listed above, it all felt like it was in the spirit of the show and we could see why they were picked on. Romesh's anger, Joe's laziness, Paul's sedate nature, Hugh's age, Mark's awkwardness . . . but it feels different with Phil. It would be one thing if Rhod or even James were penalized because of their playful feuds with Greg and Alex, respectively, but Phil winds up getting docked for seemingly no reason. He gets his bonus point for his prize task removed, given a token point because he actually made the effort of gathering fifty different items, his Greg portrait wasn't all that bad (but I'll grant that it's all subjective), and there are several other points in the show where it just feels like they're picking on him, and by the end of it, it doesn't seem like Phil is having fun at all. Certainly, Greg realized this after the fact, stating that he felt he wronged Phil more than any other contestant, but it still doesn't help.
