He had to lie in a box among thousands of critters, with rising water and actually unscrew the stars while Ferne just had to lie still for 8 minutes. His was more difficult in that he had to actually work for the stars against the clock, and which Ant and Dec said the timing was very tight on to start with.”

The thousands of critters were cockroaches, crickets, baby crocs and sand crabs with a inch of water not exactly scary

Vicky had a physically demanding trial in which she was actually faster than the IAC task testers , an impressive achievement in my books.
I thought Fearne did very well tonight too in a task that required steely nerves.

If I was to play devils advocate though I could say that Fearne just laid down and kept her eyes closed for 8 minutes which isn't exactly
difficult.”

Vicky was quicker because Ant and Dec told her where the boxes were, I doubt they told the IAC task testers.

How would she have known where the boxes were? Memorise them before hand?

Climb down or swing out.

That would be conjecture.
Her time is fact.

Yes, but it is but the most likely scenario.

To reduce it to her just having to lie still for 8 minutes is laughable! For me, Fearn's was much more difficult psychologically - being 'buried alive' in a pit, complete darkness, heart racing, panic mounting, not knowing what was coming next. The snakes were almost incidental. Tony's, while uncomfortable in a few inches of water, doesn't bear comparison for me. Duncan's bit was pretty unpleasant though.

Vicky I thought had the easiest purely through ant and decs help , yes I know they help others but only if the celeb is losing their way a bit . If you see Kieron's trial he roots about everywhere in that first room before they start giving him clues , they were telling Vicky where the next one was just as she was about to finish the one she was on . I agree with others that's how she beat the time . Your probably supposed to kick and swing out on the harness to see where the next one was . The boxes were so small as well it was simple getting the stars with the creatures only touching her fingers

Weren't the lights on apart from the last minute or two?

The most likely scenario is that the task team would know exactly where the boxes were because they built the task.

Possibly but I still don't think Vicky beat them fair and square.

Ant and Dec were just bigging her up and being biased again imo.

To be fair (omg) to LC she had an eatting challenge ( and Jorgie, who LC helped get through it I think), and "helmet of bugs", which are not nice. and she got on with it (except the last helmet with water, but thats fair enough)

Vicky, Ferne and SteriodsMan also had the "helmets of bugs".

Other than than they havent been too nasty.

Duncan had a black eye, and Vicky's head nearly exploded as she couldnt tell her right from the left

I still think George and Kieron out on zip wires with a plank of wood is up there as the most challenging.

Which one was the plank?

Yes they were but I'm not sure how bright they were from Ferne's perspective (rather than ours as viewers) and I don't think being able to see what was coming at her would have made it any more bearable. On the contrary, combined with the claustrophic space and the anticipation, it would have just imo increased her fear.
