Performance[]
Frankie Boyle: Frankie sailed slowly down the canal, only managing to get one rubber ring on his barge pole. He received 2 points.
Ivo Graham: Ivo was very excited to be on a boat and managed to quickly get the first four rubber rings. After missing the final rubber ring, his tiller fell off (because of Frankie and Jenny's boat crash) so his time was paused whilst the crew fixed the barge (in about 19 minutes). He got all five rubber rings on his bargepole in 7 minutes and 41 seconds, receiving 4 points.
Jenny Eclair: Jenny sailed down the canal at speed, managing to get one rubber ring on her barge pole and crashing multiple times into the wall whilst shouting "Brace". She received 2 points.
Kiell Smith-Bynoe: Kiell managed to get the first two rubber rings, then the last two whilst singing "One on a Bargepole for Me", but as he miscounted rubber rings, he had to reverse back down the canal to the one he missed. He got all the rubber rings on his bargepole in 26 minutes and 30 seconds, receiving 3 points.
Mae Martin: Mae calmly and swiftly collected the first four rubber rings, before missing the final one and reversing to have another go at it. They got all five rubber rungs on their bargepole in 7 minutes and 7 seconds, receiving 5 points.
