Performance[]
Daisy May Cooper: Daisy taped a scoop carrying a funnel to a long pole, so she could pour water into the cup on the pole. Despite completing the task in 6 minutes and 55 seconds, she immediately disqualified herself by dropping the task brief on the red green.
Johnny Vegas: Johnny initially tripped over nothing on the way to turning on a hose, before attempting to spit water into the cup and eventually using a croquet mallet to hook the pole closer to him. Despite completing the task in 3 minutes and 37 seconds, he dropped a croquet mallet on the red green, so was disqualified from the task.
Katherine Parkinson: Katherine initially threw a bucket of water at the cup, before attempting to fill a net with water and eventually using a hula hoop to bring the pole closer to her so she could pour water into it. Despite completing the task in 11 minutes and 49 seconds, she dropped a hula hoop on the red green, so was disqualified from the task.
Mawaan Rizwan: Mawaan initially threw a bucket of water at the cup, before standing on a bench and using a rake to pull the pole closer to him, despite getting confused about if he had to metaphorically make the cup overflow. Despite completing the task in 12 minutes and 38 seconds, he accidentally touched the red green with his foot as he was pulling the bench closer to it, so he was disqualified from the task.
Richard Herring: Richard put a glass of water in a basket lodged to the end of a pole, using it to pour water into the cup. Despite completing the task in 5 minutes and 37 seconds, he stood on the red green to look at the cup, so was disqualified from the task.
