When you look at the sports task, Science didn't do a Vanessa & run from his fear of swimming did he? He faced up to that & pulled off the synchronised swimming event with Orla - even conceeding the music! He listened & learned fro her doing that task. Not counting to ten & Kemal's Scottish Anthem memory lapse cost them then? Who spat the dummy during practice?

I agree, with Slartibartfast, if anything - Science has tried to play the role up & make tasks fun, apart from the Pirate task, when Captain Science went to his head, - he was out of order several times, despite excellent role play, he demoralised the rest with over the top acting through that!
