    98% of this is purely just a regular edition of the actual Krypton Factor, but it just nails the comedic aspects which were always there but passed you by. The casual description of the bafflingly complex heats system, playoffs, and group finals is spot on.

      "I don’t usually laugh at people being beaten and killed"
      That sounds suspiciously namby pamby.
      It's the primary source of comedy in our household, and we sometimes even invite the neighbours round to join in the fun...

      Maybe he has something wrong with his feet and trainers were better for him than regular shoes as they have a comfier sole and more give in the uppers. Or did he just run like a gimboid, wet or lardy*?
