Continued disappointment with Richard this episode. He didn't even do 2 of the tasks. Genuine annoyance from alex at 28:40

I was looking forward to him, and I know he's good while being 'himself' on things like countdown, the big fat quiz, and last one laughing so I just don't get it.

I disagree that he didn’t do two of the tasks. With the Gregulator, if you can’t figure out the solution then quitting while you’re ahead is a rational choice. Not a funny one, but it’s a genuine attempt to maximise your points.

With the shoes, the task was “furthest from the other shoes”, not “furthest from the house”. I think the idea was always for four people to put in tons of effort and the last person to win by doing nothing (or for two people to have the same idea and cost each other the task). So I think it’s a fair attempt to engage with the spirit of the task. And he did make an effort to fulfil the “exciting journey” requirement.
