Summary[]
There were 99 tasks pegged on the washing line. The contestants had to find and complete the real task, which was inside the shed. After finding the real task, they had to peg all the tasks to the line, including the real task.
The fake tasks were arranged into an arrow pointing to the shed. Also, letters in the fake tasks were underlined to create an anagram spelling shed and four of the fake tasks had large letters at the bottom spelling "SHED".
Performance[]
Joanne McNally: Joanne got confused and unpegged all the tasks from the washing line, until she spotted the large letters. Realising the consequences, she asked Alex to help her peg all the tasks in bulk in 20 minutes and 20 seconds. Unfortunately, she dropped and missed the large letter tasks inside the shed, so she was disqualified from the task.
John Robins: John saw and stopped to question the giant arrow after unpegging his first task. He pegged all the tasks in 1 minute and 16 seconds, receiving 4 points.
Nick Mohammed: Nick found and solved the underlined letters, and pegged 2 leftover tasks in 1 minute and 50 seconds. But he brought one task inside with him, thinking he was finished, so he was disqualified from the task.
Sophie Willan: Sophie got confused and unpegged 13 tasks, then spotted the giant arrow and finished pegging all 14 leftover tasks. She pegged all the tasks in 5 minutes and 41 seconds, receiving 3 points.
Steve Pemberton: Steve found and solved the underlined letters and immediately ran to the shed after unpegging his first task. He pegged all the tasks in 49.8 seconds, receiving 5 points.
