    Anyone who's watched CR knows even though Grog is dumb as a post, Travis is actually nigh-on genius level strategist. He really gets to show that off here, and it's pretty cool.

      Actually, Chris putting a latin flair on the... well, latin was more accurate. Although his flair was spanish rather than the more italian flair. Actual Latin would resemble a mixture of greek and all its branch languages of latin europe, France, Spain and Italy.. Whose dialects eventually evolved and separated into different languages. If you take Chris and Matts pronunciations and put them together, it becomes the elegant and well enunciated latin. The ancient romans would call matts latin Sermo Vulgaris.

    I'll say this about Laura. She owned up to her 'pushiness'. Owning up to your own faults is really hard and most people don't gain that virtue even in their old age so I say she gets a pass.
    In other news: I feel like I would be Travis in this situation. Feeling totally useless so start picking out minor details and then miraculously come up with one of the steps we needed. That sort of thing happens to me all the time because I have a more analytical mind for a creative person. Feels nice to see something I can relate to here.
    Spoiler next:
    And my last but least comment: That "hold hands" clue was TERRIBLE so I really don't think it's their fault they failed.

He's only something like 10cm taller than Matt, but Travis still looks like a real big guy.
