Performance[]
Dara Ó Briain: Dara got several elastic bands and put them on his head so that they would ping off, ending with a piece of paper over his face that would reveal it when the elastic band pinged off his head. He received 4 points.
Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Kiell dressed as a magician and got Alex to hold golf balls through a wagon wheel, then bottles of "Alex's tears" that couldn't be spilt, thinking he had trapped Alex's hands in the wagon wheel. However, he had put Alex's hands through the wrong holes so Alex was easily able to escape. As Greg decided that Kiell's genuine stupidity wasn't in the spirit of the task, he received 1 point.
Morgana Robinson: Morgana squeezed red and blue paint on her head, then squeezed green paint into her mouth. She then stuck her head in a bucket of feathers before spitting out the green paint. She received 5 points.
Sarah Kendall: Sarah drew her face on a bucket and got Alex to spin her around with the bucket on her head. She then threw her car and house keys, before Alex span her around again, before removing the bucket. Sarah then spent 1 hour and 20 minutes looking for her keys whilst holding a bike. She received 2 points.
Sophie Duker: Sophie decided to disrespect the Taskmaster by saying he was just tall guy in a suit, before smearing a task that she put down her butt, ketchup, mustard and pineapple against a cardboard cutout of Greg, destroying it. She received 3 points.
