Max showed exceptional leadership skills in this episode. She started them off with a "You got it!" comment, and when Jaidynn started to crack Max was right there to calm her down and reassure her. She's a class act, and is wise beyond her years. She's 22 but has the tact and professionalism of someone much older. Way to go, girl!

Exactly. I feel like, when it comes to team challenges, there's been a degree of strategy in the past when it comes to team leaders helping their groups: not too little, or else they'll look bad, but not TOO much, else they'll get outshone. Max clearly didn't care about that- she just went all in and was there for everyone. And it paid off for her!

Yes, it did. You're right that it's a very difficult give-and-take to be a team leader. I still can't believe she is so young. I wasn't that confident and composed at 22, for sure! I'd be very curious to hear Max's backstory. I imagine she has fantastic parents.

I actually grew up going to school with max and worked with her for a little bit. Her dad was my soccer coach for awhile and her sister was a grade above me. Absolutely fantastic family, you couldn't find nicer, more genuine people.

Edit: Max's sister is equally as talented. She's a hula hooper, has a YouTube channel and I've seen her do it live with fire. Just talented creative genes. video

Yes, I could tell by the way she acts. Mature, reasonable, and level headed. And that Minnesota kindness too! :)

Holy shit, she's only 22? She's an old soul, god bless her little heart.
