Summary[]
The task was presented on the table, near a metronome. The contestants had to say the word "metronome" between every tick of a metronome, whilst also trying to blow up a balloon so it is bigger than their head, wrap the balloon and eat three poppadoms. Whilst they had to say the word "metronome", Greg decided not to penalise anyone who accidentally said "metromome".
Performance[]
Charlotte Ritchie: Charlotte struggled to blow up the balloon, at one point saying the word "metromome". She ended up spinning poppadoms in an attempt to eat them fast, but ended up spitting them out. As she did not eat all of the poppadoms and missed 7 or 8 "metronomes", she received 1 point.
Jamali Maddix : Jamali quickly blew up the balloon and popped it as he wrapped the balloon. As he began to eat the poppadoms, he recorded himself repeating the word "metromome" so he did not have to say metronome and eat at the same time. He missed 3 "metronomes", receiving 4 points.
Lee Mack: Lee panicked, not realising it was timed. After wrapping up the balloon, it popped in his face, and he ended up shouting "I have a BAFTA" as he tried to hurriedly eat poppadoms. He missed 3 "metronomes", receiving 4 points.
Mike Wozniak: Mike speedily set apart completing the tasks, as if it was a normal thing to be asked to do. He only missed 1 metronome, receiving 5 points.
Sarah Kendall: Sarah blew up the balloon but as she began to wrap it, it popped. After trying to eat the poppadoms, she attempted to inflate another balloon so she could wrap it, but that one deflated. As she did not complete any of the three tasks in the end, she received 1 point.
