I can't say I'm upset Henry left -- it was time. Sad about Sal's nudibranch, which I think was not colourful as it should have been, and super impressed by Alon's okapi. This is the second weird use of Native cultures, and I just -- well, maybe they don't quite understand? Next week worries me.

I loved the wolf, until suddenly it started vomiting water and looked very silly.

I was expecting the nudibranch to be super bright too. I will admit to being an expat for a long time but I also thought it was better known in the UK not to use native terms and imagery but I guess not, I read the pottery hashtag on Twitter after watching every week and no one mentioned it.

Next week's challenge is focused on Native American pottery so, uh, strap in, I guess.

I wish they had more time for this challenge. It didn't seem like enough to build such a big fountain.
