Episode 3: Twelve blush majesty two

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the best thing from the 90s, raise Alex's heart rate, make the best noise, get a ball into a hole by striking it, and silently mouth a ten word fact to Greg.

Title context

'Twelve blush majesty two' was part of the very much misread fact that Phil Wang mouthed at him in the 'Silently mouth a ten word fact to Greg' task.

Alternate Titles

• On Denmark's TV2 Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Skål rødmer majestæt to', which translates as 'Cheers blush majesty two'. It's unclear why they went with this Danish translation beginning with 'skål' ('cheers'), rather than just using 'tolv' ('twelve').

Assistant Intro

And here, balanced on top of a benevolent booster seat, it's my pint-sized PA... Oooh! What does everyone in the street shout at him?! Little Alex Horne!
