Summary[]
The task was presented on a table along with dining equipments. The contestants had to find Alex and be his waiter, giving him all the items on the table. Around the bandstand were decoys (producer Andy Cartwright and a mannequin) hiding in oversized hats.
Performance[]
Dara Ó Briain: Dara struggled to locate Alex for a long time. He eventually found Alex and set up the food, drink and cutlery on his table. To make it easier to carry the drink, he stored some in his mouth before spitting it back into the cup. Just after he stopped the clock, Alex spilt some food, so Dara made Alex clap for a minute. Dara completed the task in 18 minutes and 42 seconds, receiving 4 points.
Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Kiell initially planned on pouring the drink into the large spoon, before ditching the idea. He began asking pedestrians and dogs if they could find Alex. Unable to find Alex, Kiell eventually carried the mannequin to the table, claiming it could be "an Alex." He was disqualified from the task for not bringing the real Alex to the table.
Morgana Robinson: Morgana was fooled by a decoy Alex. She then dropped some food and clapped for only 28 seconds. She found Alex and put the items on the table. Since her first round of clapping wasn't long enough, she was disqualified from the task.
Sarah Kendall: Sarah immediately spilt some food and clapped for the full course of the two minute timer. During the course of the tasks she spilt more food in the apron, clapping for at least more than a minute until it eventually started raining, interrupted by a dog, and pressured by Alex to hurry up. She completed the task in 51 minutes and 26 seconds, and receiving 3 points.
Sophie Duker: Sophie skipped around with the cutlery. She found Alex, told him she hated him, and took him to the table instead of carrying the items to him. She completed the task in 18 minutes and 20 seconds, receiving 5 points.
