Re: Episode 9 (Nov 20th)
This episode was like an Oreo: Nothing too special on the outsides, but an amazing filling
The Great Wall and Show of Hands are still both fine new games, but I'm not crazy about either of them.
It was good to see Turtle Hurtle again, and I thought we saw some better attempts today.
I noticed they were using black paint on the one guy in Honeycomb Maze - looked cool
Great idea having Home Run earlier! I was afraid it would consistently be played last/near the end, so this change is great (looks like we'll start with a single-player game for a change, next week, as well!). There were some good hits today as well, nice to see the people crawling to the goal.
Sumo Rings was good to see again. It's weird how they never use the blue ring though? Still using the two-feet elimination style.
The last four main games were about as standard as possible (except for not having Home Run). The Velcro Fly test was different at least. Some good eliminations in Run Way.
I thought they would actually have the first person win in Final Fall, would make it so much less predictable.
The robot sketch throughout today was good. It wasn't the best sketch to follow as a foreigner, but it was good to have a running theme.

Re: Episode 9 (Nov 20th)
The General (will research his name) comes across as a aggressive person, especially when he swiped a paper ring off a Showdown car
Favourite contestant was the guy who had trouble staying on his feet in the Honeycomb Maze but still made it through.
TC Saudi Arabia was originally intended to only having 13 episodes. It will be interesting to see if that's still the case in 4/5 weeks time...

Double post alert
Interesting the laugh sound effect from the UK Fort Boyard theme tune and the losers music from Price Is Right UK were featured!

It's gone very dapper like a waltz(?). Love the great wall!

Turtle hurtle is very fun despite not being so popular in Japan. He nearly made it!
