    Loved this premiere. The only cast member I knew ahead of time was Sue Perkins, but it’s always great to come away with great feelings about the whole cast.

    I did not expect Lucy to be the weird comedian. I figured it’d be Sam, especially after the “Pinocchioooooooo,” but man, she really is out there this episode. If I’m betting, her and Julian fight for last place; Lucy due to just being a bit of a bowl full of nuts and Julian not giving a shit, both on the best ways.

    Sam surprised me with the hair lateral thinking; though they didn’t really need to cut their hair off, it worked out for them. That plus his performance in the live task makes me think he’s going to do a great job of thinking his way to a great showing. He’s my pick for finding the hidden task, if that’s a real thing. He’s also funny as hell.

    Sue and Susan are also fantastic and should be a great team. I think Sue might have the edge in performance - she had a great idea with the duck task just didn’t hustle enough. But any of the three contestants whose name starts with S winning wouldn’t surprise me!
