@rodrosenberg You are awesome for letting us know more about the competition! Thanks for the shots of your Mad Max build as well, the interior looks amazing! I can't wait to see shots of the Applinus Build interior as well.

This was exactly what I was thinking. The one that got me the most was the scoring summary. We had no idea what the judges were even scoring, all we got were their quick explanations for why they give the score, and each of them explained differently so I had no idea what each score was for. Then we got a quick view of what each of them gave as a total. We had no idea how big of a difference the builds had from the judges score either, so there was no reference to how ahead Luke was. We also had no idea how you guys were using the scores of the judges too; were you taking the best score, averaging the three scores, or adding them all up? Then the benchmarking was horrible. We didn't see the stats as they came through, so no idea what either of them scored for each test, and we never got to see the percent difference for each score in the end and what the overall score was at the end of the benchmarking. In the end, all we saw was the total score which was a one point difference that none of us had any idea what that actually meant. Here are a few other things that I would like to add to what I really felt was missing: Building - We missed out on the entire assembly and we never saw them even boot beforehand. Yeah, maybe there weren't any other assembly issues. But going through and watching them put it all together, ensuring everything fits, booting it up and seeing if it actually works first is always great and seeing Linus and Luke's initial reactions with their boot and vanilla benchmarks is always great. Overclocking - Overclocking is always entertaining. Linus will sit there trying to thing of what he will need to hit to ensure he beats Luke and Luke stresses as he figures out if he can even overclock it. Luke also said he didn't overclock and we have no idea why, which we would have known if we saw the build process and him telling us why he can't or didn't want to. I feel that Season 3 is still the best one they have done. Great competition, great episodes, and a great scoring system while keeping us all informed the entire way through.
