Does seem strange that they don't Google it, they even have smart phones in their hand

The American lady was lucky last night, I'd have booted her out without thinking.  Failures aside, she was a right bitch to the others.

I know there's no natural hierarchy and they're used to running their own businesses but really is amazing how they all seem to get the fundamentals of leadership wrong. You'd think they'd learn from previous years at least?

There must be some rules about what they can and can't do.

Why would you not;
a) Google the shit out of everything
b) Everyone just sits in a room ringing around for an hour, locate items and best prices, then go directly to confirmed item pick ups
c) Drive off the Ferry straight into a Carrefour, buy the cheese, the mussels, the snails, the boat etc etc

they had overnight to do it too, so I'd be under the covers on my phone googling stuff, like WTF is makers lace or w/e...

I don't really know why they always donk off on this challenge, maybe its just way way harder than it looks but I feel pretty confident if you gave me a driver a bunch of money and a list of things to go get id get them all.

I'm up for a Blonde Apprentice. This is a game we could easily recreate.

They have never been allowed to use online searches, normally the yellow pages is the most they can use.

I am pretty sure that the production staff are well aware of ways the contestants could cheat and take steps to ensure they can't.

Seems very odd to me.  Maybe sugar stuck in the dark ages in more ways than one.

Allowing the internet would kill the task as a TV event, so they have to ban it. Therefore using it would be cheating.

They made 1% of the phone calls I would like to have made. Hard to know what they make of it sometimes. Not yet enamored with the series but I'll keep watching
