Summary[]
The task was presented on the table next to a pile of rice. The contestants had to transport the rice to the bottle in the living room, but only the items in the basket could touch the rice. They were not allowed to take the bottle out of the living room.
Performance[]
Iain Stirling: Iain emptied the jar of honey onto the floor and transported the rice in the jar. Because the rice sticks to the leftover honey, he managed to transport 74% of the rice, receiving 3 points.
Joe Thomas: Joe opened a mango, turning it into a bowl so he could transport the rice. He transported 18,000 grains of rice (85%), receiving 5 points.
Lou Sanders: Lou emptied the jar of honey, washing out the jar, to transport the rice. She managed to transport 79% of the rice, receiving 4 points.
Paul Sinha: Paul initially picked up the rice to try and put it in a balloon, before he ate some of the mango to transport the rice to the bottle. He then brought the bottle into the lab, where he just picked up the rice and put it in the bottle. He was disqualified but Greg gave him a bonus point for being gracious in defeat.
Sian Gibson: Sian panicked, tried to syphon the rice, then ended up putting the rice into the jar of honey to transport it to the bottle. She transported 28% of the rice, receiving 2 points.
