After last week's team wouldn't listen to a word host Richard Ayoade said, everyone was hoping this week's Crystal Maze contestants would be a little more open to help.
This week, team The Footballers entered the four zones hoping to collect as many crystals as possible, and they were certainly determined, nabbing a crystal on the very first challenge.
However, the totem pole challenge – which LOOKS super easy – once again proved to be a tough one and The Footballers joined the ranks of many who failed unfortunately.
Then it was time for the dreaded swinging planets task – which is always far more entertaining for the viewer – but this week it was managed in a record-breaking one minute and five seconds. Host Richard said: "It was almost boring to watch."
After failing at the big spelling challenge, Richard decided to show them how it was done and went in and finished it off, the clever clogs.
Then, one of the team fell off the beam and into the water travelling between zones and it might be the first time it's EVER happened.

So, the team managed to collect six crystals equating at 30 seconds in the dome. They only got 66 gold tokens, but (incredibly) only got 11 silver, which let them land a middling prize of Llama trekking.
The Crystal Maze airs on Fridays on Channel 4 at 8pm.
