The Maria segment was great because she was really ticklish and seemed to - well, at one point, she actually said that she liked it or something to that effect. As easily as she got out of the hand restraints, she could have stopped it at any time...kinda makes you wonder, hmmm...
It is too bad he didn't tickle her feet because at one point in the show he actually had her shoes off, but she was one of the better tickle chair victims.
As for the Yaqi episode which followed, we all know that was an old one, and it's no wonder they were rough on him. I mean, the guy is kinda weird, and when he starts in with that "the laughter of a small child" stuff...that's kind of a red flag, associating children with your fetish.
But once again, another good tickle chair episode, and he really didn't have to try very hard, either...
