0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Seimon, you showed - adventure in general.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- To be honest, we couldn't - differentiate between you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- So we looked back - on the whole series...
0:21:17 > 0:21:23- ..at your skills as leaders, - adventurers and team members.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- To be honest, we had to split hairs.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32- I wanted a bit more of that from - James throughout the competition.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- I got a bit more - of that from Seimon.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- That's why Seimon - goes through to the final round...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- ..and unfortunately, - James goes home.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- It's very sad to see James leave.
