This was SO delightful. I missed Mae, but Kiell was a very welcome addition to the cast as the PEOPLE'S champion and his presence sparked a ton of truly funny bits.

These are some of my favorite contestants ever and having them all together generated one bit of brilliance after another: the hilarious opening credits sequence, Kiell still being annoyed about the pineapples, Alex roasting Sophie (the "Ramsey should have won" sign!), Dara's "Wait, what?" embellished jumpsuit, Morgana as utterly unhinged and paralyzingly sexy as ever... It was all so good.

I can't believe they risked the "do something stupid" task, which on TM NZ caused Urzila Carlson to break her collarbone (and Guy Montgomery to put his penis in a toaster)! Glad this worked out with fewer casualties because everyone in this cast is a treasure.

I loved it except I’m surprisingly cross about the winner! Sophie is champion in my heart.

Somehow my mental scoreboard was off - I was sure Sophie had won it in the final task. Gutted, but also thoroughly entertained.

Loved it.

My fave contestant ever is Bridget Christie. If you have not seen this, you should.

I am also Team Sophie but I feel like Dara needs it more, emotionally.

It felt like it went too quickly. Like, even faster than the New Years Treat, which was a revelation, as usual.

The only thing more scandalous than Morgana's outfit was her completely bonkers 'Do Something Stupid'...

The outtakes had me crying with laughter!
