    Young plumber of the year.

    Just watched it. Not being sexist here but I knew from the get go they would make the girl win. She didn't deserve to. The final challenge was a joke even so she had to squeeze her pipe ends with grips to make it work. She was prompted to find the ring in the trap, and she burnt the wall in...
