After incurring the most ridiculous penaties ever, I can even imagine what will be their next penalty:

Phill: Mark & Michael...you're the 4th team to arrive... However you've received a 2 hours penalty for being too short......and you've done it twice!So you need to step out of the mat for 4 hours before I can check you in.

They have been like going slow the whole series and been towards the back the whole time!
