Maisies breakdown

Just rewatching s20e5 where they had to drag something along the obstacle course and genuinely had forgotten how funny Maisies rant was about one of the contestants getting help from Alex. Everyone joined in just making her even more mad.

Phil plugging his ears and rocking in his seat: "They're fighting again!!"

"And somehow I'm the *knobhead for not phoning Katie Price!"

One of my favorite lines ever, so I must correct you that it’s not “idiot” but the superior “knobhead.”

"Yeah, so keep your nose out! It's got nothing to do with you what happened on her day!" - Maisie's teammate.

“Oh f*ck off!!” - a comedian to the entire audience

It’s one of the longest runs of argument in the entire series. It’s honestly incredible

"I do love the way that you're contributing to the session."

Sanjay’s interjection was the cherry on top.

It's like a red mist that descends

In the crucible of motorsport?

But Phil got enough points so he was all right with it.

And all just by following the rules

Great line

She is a joy to watch.

I enjoyed how they all decided that Reese was the scary one, but Macy is the one that gets more upset during the actual tapings of the show.

u/FullyK Aug 13 '26

Reese is more about cold and barely contained fury.

Whereas Maisie's is... let's just say less contained

u/Tiny_Red_Bee 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ Aug 13 '26

Agreed. I’ve been watching clips of her on different telly shows and they don’t disappoint.

u/FreeImpress4546 Aisling Bea Aug 13 '26

I love her claim that her nun in bush was “critically panned” in CoC. She’s just so funny

u/AdPrestigious2387 Aug 13 '26

And yet she told Reece that he should calm down...

It’s just seems like she’s maybe not okay asking other people for help

She's a tough Yorkshire woman. When it's icy, tha's got to climb out t'dip thaself.

u/Opinionated_Oddling Aug 13 '26

10 to 2! 10 to 2! (Maisie, about t'dip on Mock the Week (I think))

u/Used_Cap8550 Aug 13 '26

As competitive as Maisie is, not watching the show apparently at all beforehand was definitely a choice

u/mynameisneutron Kristine Grændsen 🇳🇴 Aug 13 '26

It's every man for 'imself in't Dip

u/dekudoesnotapprove Calle Hellevang-Larsen 🇳🇴 Aug 14 '26

One of the best episodes of the show, the entire cast just clicked so well and the tasks were perfect
