Performance[]
Daisy May Cooper: Daisy made an elaborate multi-tiered marble run from pipes and planks in the hallway. The marble rolled for 11 seconds and 21 frames, receiving 4 points.
Johnny Vegas: Johnny made a simple marble run with a ramp from a ladder and a pipe, trying to make the marble move after it entered the pipe with a broom and leaf blower but failing to affect its movement. The marble rolled for 8 seconds and 6 frames, receiving 2 points.
Katherine Parkinson: Katherine didn't realise she could leave the room so constructed a pendulum-styled marble run in the living room using an extended ruler propped up by two side tables and a column. The marble rolled for 32.4 seconds, receiving 5 points.
Mawaan Rizwan: Mawaan taped a tea towel around the marble and put it in the washing machine for 1 hour. However, his fellow contestants argued that Mawaan affected the marble's movement after releasing it by pushing the button on the washing machine to make it work. As a result, Greg disqualified him from the task.
Richard Herring: Richard made a long marble run outside, but the marble got stuck in a crack in the driveway. The marble rolled for 8 seconds and 23 frames, receiving 3 points.
