Performance[]
Fatiha El-Ghorri: Fatiha decided to tell a "ghost" story of the slaughter of the Moroccan goats. She was determined to finish the story so she kept going despite being reminded about the word limit. In the end the word count in her story was double the word limit, so she got disqualified.
Jason Mantzoukas: Jason stumbled upon a keyboard and ended up doing an annoying freestyle "song" about making sweet love and proposal on "fast train cars" with a very loud soundtrack set on that keyboard. Despite the annoying recital, Greg begrudgingly awarded him 2 points.
Mathew Baynton: Mathew decided to sing a heartfelt folk song about building your own bookshelves when the handyman was unavailable with a guitar. Unfortunately, when he asking for a reprise prompted by "Everybody" his song was one word more than it should, so he got disqualified.
Rosie Ramsey: Rosie decided to sing a lovely folk song about inviting people for some barbeque with a tambourine. She received 5 points.
Stevie Martin: Stevie was fairly telling of whether or not there's a ghost at barbeque which was 15 words long, ended with a jingle "Yeah, gonna get a sausage.", receiving 4 points.
