The mind numbing late night word games sort of put you orf it (while the contestants are sleeping or doing something equally as boring, so they need the word games).
It can have it's moments, however fairly far between, anyone is able to have the same amount of fun at the office at work (ie: not much).

(a) 2 seconds to turn on the equip. (b) They say 2 minutes is about right. (c) Depends on the number of packets.

Gets stressed if does not fully understand surroundings, and need thick dark curtains, otherwise wakes up early in the morning :-)
