Very much agree with all these points. I also don’t think it’s that useful to be spamming this community with polls as they come out. But thought this was a helpful bit of information to see where things roughly stand at the beginning of campaign time.

Weirdest set of things in the prize task for quite a while, I loved it.

I think their origial plan was to try and ensure that Daniel Korski, the CCHQ preferred candidate, would get selected by putting him up against insane choices like Susan Hall. Unfortunately Korski had to exit because of sexual assault allegations (name a more iconic duo than Tory politicians and criminal sleaze) leaving only the insane candidates.

This sort of situation has become a bit of a classic Tory tale with the amount of times similar things have happened since 2019.

Loved the thumb war task. It felt very much like a classic task from the earlier seasons.

Apart from the fact it didn’t work, I thought his tension task was great and the commitment to continue the stunts was top comedy.
