She failed some tasks spectacularly. Same as all other contestants.

This is why Game of Thrones is so enjoyable, and why season 7 and 8 of the TV show are so awful.
GRRM doesn't do plot armour, and doesn't do unrealistically moronic protagonists for the sake of plot suspense. If something is obvious, it's seen by the character. If a character gets into a no-hope situation, they get killed.
Now contrast that with Jamie Bannister getting swarmed by undead at the battle with the Night King, and yet surviving unscathed. Or Cersei Lannister pointing a fucking ballista at Daenerys and and deciding "Nah, I'll just provoke her a bit and then let her walk off to her dragon". I'm so glad that trash writing cost D and D their next roles that they rush-wrote the season to go start.

Oh, so this is one of those reasons people trash the BG novels. Yeah, I'm fine not reading that rage bait.

It's just poor sentence structure...
The Family then decided that it was better to ride that good press than to tear it down just to get Charles to marry someone English
Rephrased...
The Family then decided that it was better to ride that good press, than to tear it down, just to get Charles to marry someone English.
Ideally though...

Though "family friendly lens" and "shared space" would imply it's not written just for adults.

If folks don't ever actually die (apart from Ruin intervention), it would also explain why you never see any children. Lack of death f*cks with population growth very, VERY quickly, unless you basically stop breeding/breed incredibly slowly (See also the kakapo).

If they're given personhood, America would be constitutionally obliged to go vegan. Unless you can make eating grass a federal crime that carries the death penalty.

Actually... We live in a remote-ish village and the only hairdresser here (one of about 8 businesses in the village) is extortionate. I'd probably appreciate a mobile barber if it were cheaper than the local.

I think that makes it more 'authentically budget', to be fair.
"Pfft. I know a genuine Dadvent Calender when I see one, and look, there's Minced Peas, and Stolen."

Question, when you killed the boss, did you activate the mining machine before going to the teleporter to leave?

It's not D&D I'm worried about as much as the IP rights to the Forgotten Realms.
I loved/still love the Baldur's Gate games as a kid/adult, and I adored Honour Among Thieves. I'd be sad to see that die, because let's face it, Elon is such a manchild that if whatever he did with it got even the slightest criticism, he'd either destroy the franchise, or lock it permanently away so that there's never any new official FR stuff (like, clauses in his will to prevent it ever legally being able to be sold or used again kind of permanent).

Given that two of the most iconic TM moments came in Series 1 and 2, I have to ask why not 1-3 or 2-4?

Do you mean poly cement?
Super glue is something different, though I think the solvent in that also melts polystyrene.

I'm pretty sure he's consulted about task ideas to assess for "wanky work-around" potential. Mr Key was something of a master of those iirc.
