The presentation of the medical pause, repurposing the snack zone theme was really funny. As was the tick tock overlay.

Ben and Sam's dynamic is great. Ben will just go "Sam, do this!" and Sam just goes along with it. And I love that Ben shut down Choo Choo Chew hard :D

Originally, I felt so bad for Sam about the hate Choo Choo Chew (the objectively better name) vets from the other boys, but it's wrapped around into being full on funny again. Sam weekly protesting "Nononono" as even the editor proves to be team Snack Zone by starting the theme had me giggling.

I love the switch up! It's changed the dynamic nicely. Last season felt too "samey" with Sam making crappy decisions, and Ben and Adam just rolling right past at every turn. Also, so happy to have Tom back.

Thanks for commenting this. I felt the same way about the last season so I wasn't in a rush to watch this one even thought I particularly liked the trailer. But this piques my interest...

I hope it goes well and they keep it up - Ben is my favorite of the 3 and it'd be fun to see his dynamic with guests.

Good episode, but terrible audio synchronisation faults on release day in the UK.
