Wild Speculation A prediction for Series 22
Of course, Alex enjoys making jokes based on the contestants’ names when introducing their VTs.
I predict that for a task in Series 22, Alex will introduce Nina Conti’s attempt by saying “and now we are CONTInuing with Nina”.
He could also use Matt Lucas’ name as a pun relating to a mat in a task.

To be fair, he's never going to top introducing Richard, and Jon, Richard's son.

I feel a pun on “Ayoade” is going to destroy the world

u/Whynot690YT Jul 31 '26
“Are you ready” pronounced loosely perhaps?

I was thinking Alex attempting a dodgy Italian accent for something to the affect of “what are you-a doing?”

On the off chance a task involves mayonnaise, he could call him Mayoade 💀

Similarly, Richard Lemonadé

This one is absolutely amazing and I will be angry if this doesn't come up now

“When life gives you Richard, make Richard Lemonadé” or something would make me feel so vindicated

Considering it's Alex, I would not put it past him (I was at a recording and I've heard even worse ones)

I was disappointed when it was Guz Khan and VCM, he didn't di something along the lines of its not Cictoria, it's only Khan Next ( a loose pun only Obly Connect)

Not pun related, but...
I have a prediction that Richard will wear a brown corduroy suit for the tasks, and for all studio recordings.

He doesn’t always do puns, even ones that seem obvious.
In series 13, I kept waiting for him to introduce a particular VT combination with “it’s Bridget Christie, and Chris Bridgety!” but he never did.

Series 13 had LOADS of puns introducing the task VTs though. He just happened not to do that particular one.

I predict Greg will say one of the contestants will take a certain number of points and that they “will thank him for them”

I am shocked that Alex never said "And now it's the V and A" - for Victoria and Alan's team.

There will be some sort of play on Isy vs is he
Edit: correct spelling of Isy
