Boyard: "Well you're next alright but remember if you're still messing around in there when the time runs out you're going to be dragged kicking and screaming to the dungeons. Now, we know you haven't got any brains, let's see if you've got any brawn 'cause the only way you're going is up!"

You're going to have a bit more fun! And I'll give you a word of advice: Don't look down, or better still do look down, give me a laugh!"
