i really cannot decide if this was a deliberate funny or an editor that said, fck it.

also, guess katie does cosplay (would make total sense since she does animatronics, only 1 step away from costuming)


but who would walk on that nasty (i'm assuming hotel/convention) carpet without shoes?

Damn guess that's the best cast photo until later i guess.

wow first eps was horrible.
1. they pre-select teams, as a reality tv watcher, this leads to a lot of open ended questions and fuckery unless it's like a theme or just boy v girl.
2. team challenge pretty boring rube goldberg
3. nerd off, only 4 questions to win?
3a. not only that but these were the most super retarded, doctor visit free lolipop, easy anime/manga/kaiju questions.

mainly this episode was pure flash and zero substance, to let ppl watch horribly made rube goldberg compliations and watch 2 idiots in a mascot outfit stomp on some cardboard.

it seemed the house girls goals were not to even entertain the idea of a girl v boy, only boy v boy so they could come close to even numbers, just pick any 2 guys as long as it's not a girl and with that, they succeeded.

and no, the trivia questions were just trivia, nothing else. like in s2 when they did the harry potter challenge, you answer a trivia question right, you earn a ball, and then you get to score with that ball. also when they did the star trek challenge, they answered a trivia question and they earn bullets to shoot down starships for points.

but instead this is a simple, answer correctly, move one step ahead, wtf.

cosplayers always seem to make it far, since their major skill trait is usually used for the group challenge, and once that's over they are seemingly ignored while the maths/super trivia types are then targeted.

her got outfit looks nice, not the usual ghetto cosplay fabric, but an actual costume.
