Summary[]
The task was presented under a cloche with poppadoms. The contestants had to eat as many poppadoms as possible. After each mouthful, the contestants had to remove a letter from their vocabulary, then insult Alex or compliment Greg. If they used a letter they had removed from their vocabulary, 10g was added to their final poppadom weight. Under the table, there were dips available to eat the poppadoms with.
Performance[]
Deborah Meaden: Deborah ate a lot of poppadoms as one "mouthful" so she didn't have to lose as many letters. She made 24 mistakes, so produced 15 poppadoms and received 5 points.
Kojey Radical: Kojey got a glass of water and found the dips, deciding to just feed the poppadoms to Alex whilst saying anything he wanted. He made 131 mistakes, so produced 97 poppadoms and received 1 point.
Lenny Rush: Lenny misread the task and thought he had to remove a letter after each bite, but was aware when he was using his lost letters. He made 85 mistakes, so produced 64 poppadoms and received 2 points.
Steve Backshall: Steve enjoyed insulting Alex but kept unintentionally saying words containing letters he had lost. He ate 5.5 poppadoms and made 38 mistakes, so produced 24 poppadoms and received 4 points.
Zoe Ball: Zoe got a glass of water and found the dips, but struggled to spell out insults with her remaining letters. She made 58 mistakes, so produced 41 poppadoms and received 3 points.
