I was hoping that as a huge fan of the show Kumail would be really good at it, but man does he seem to be pretty ridgid in his thinking. Joanna is by far my favorite contestant this season. Her laugh is so delightful!

I was fairly sure that Alex was just pretending he didn't know what the Crystal Maze is, but I looked anyway and found this quote from a 2015 interview:

I'd say the Crystal Maze [was an influence], that's a good starting point. I used to work in Big Brother in the third series, I was a logger, which was the worst of all jobs, you had to sit and watch what happens and type it into a computer.
