After a total of 50 questions were asked there was an intermission, during which I boarded the plane that had brought the western group to Japan. + +Aboard this plane there was a Japanese air hostess wearing a purple swimsuit who couldn't speak English and I was asking for a pencil and paper to write down the questions so I could look them up later. + +I eventually got some writing materials but my writing was incredibly disjointed and fragmented, with just a few words per sentence and the writing being oriented all over the page. + +For the second half of us show we all competed individually doing the usual Takeshi's Castle games and I managed to make it through to the final round where you drive around a small car, but instead of attempting the objective I just drive away from the competition with the air hostess.
