  • This is my all time favourite game from The Crystal Maze, even now I can't stop laughing at this pathetic effort!! ;) Genius!
    Not sure how the copyright works but this show was originally on Channel 4 - I taped it from Challenge TV.

    I don't know if I've missed something every time, but it's always seemed to me that there aren't any 'rules' in terms of the games - the easiest way you can do something is the best generally - and it seems that, if she was able to wade through with the water at about her waist, maybe she could have done that the whole time ? Just filled the bucket and waded, repeat, etc ? There seem to be a few cheats which people don't pick up on, I'm sure cheats would go unpunished if EVER used by anyone...
