THE SHOWRUNNER
Good morning, contestants. Today's room is a carousel, which is a horse race that has agreed to go in a circle and never tell anyone why. Lord Fetlock has been winning it for 140 years, so try not to take it personally when he is still winning it at the end.
HOW THE DAY WENT
| Escaped | 42 % |
|---|---|
| Most-tried move | Flattering the horse. He's been flattered since 1886 and still won't slow down. |
| Top style | a departed contestant, style 95: “A clean grab and an exit. The ostrich has asked to be told the result. Nobody has the heart.” |
THE ROOM REMEMBERS
- Lord Fetlock no longer recognises stamps, permits or judges. The stewards retired in 1886.
- A second mirror went up. Lord Fetlock now watches his mane and you at the same time.
- The ring arm bracket has been re-riveted. Lord Fetlock supervised. Loudly.
