In general, there will be no interesting points to see the challenges because they looks not very exciting to the audiences and the most interesting ones are obviously the elimination fights. But in my perspective, this game was really interesting to me and I would thank you for the organiser to have this kind of game include in this episode.
What I like of this game is not looking them to do the ice breaking and find the puzzles but what interest me is the lesson learnt from the game. It is very obvious that the red team will lose soon once the blue team gets all the pieces out from the ice. But when people in the blue team found that there was one piece missing, what they did was standing and complaining that there is one puzzle missing but did not try to find where the missing piece was.
This is the critical point that makes the blue team lost this game. The spirit of team working is very important. During the fight, the role of coach and seconds was very important to the fighter, not in terms of advising the techniques to the fighter on the ring but in terms of giving moral support to the fighter, which seems to be the similar aspect to this puzzle game. Then, again, the red team was the winner.
