The million pound drop...

brisket One of the few pleasures of watching The Million Pound Drop is the relationship between the 2 contestants. It is often clear that one of them is the "boss" and barely listens to anything the other one says. Communication between the 2 is often non-existent. I am sometimes left musing as to which of the pair got the blame for losing. [ more ]
