Summary[]
The task was presented on a table next to cocktail-making equipment. The contestants had to silently make a cocktail and write the name of their cocktail on the blackboard provided. Every time the contestants made a noise over 60dB, they had to throw anything they had prepared into the bucket, shout a specific phrase over 100dB and restart their cocktail. The phrases were:
- Daisy - "I love this"
- Johnny - "I've done it again"
- Katherine - "Woof"
- Mawaan - "I'm so sorry"
- Richard - "Failure"
Performance[]
Daisy May Cooper: Daisy continually tried to make the same drink, ending up having to scream to bleed out the anger she had against the task, before serving a "Fuck Sake" (a tiny serving of warm vodka and tiny lime juice with an unopened umbrella). She received 2 points.
Johnny Vegas: Johnny used his clothes to prevent the noise, including opening a jar of olives inside of his trousers and wandering how loud does matches and sparklers makes, when making his cocktail the "Cloudy Mule" (Coke, champagne served in his spit, lemon and lime dashed with sparklers,). He received 4 points.
Katherine Parkinson: Katherine started off well but ended up making noise when trying to repeatedly make the same drink, before ultimately serving a glass of milk. She received 1 point.
Mawaan Rizwan: Mawaan initially struggled to understand how loud things were, and shook his cocktail surrounded by a member of the crew's coat containing several keys. He ended up pouring anything he had thrown into the bucket into a glass (wine, milk, egg, and other disgusting stuff found on the bucket, garnished with orange slices, an unopened umbrella and a bottle cap), calling his cocktail "Bin Juice". Despite it doesn't taste good, his concept earned him 5 points.
Richard Herring: Richard struggled but managed to make a strong cocktail called "The Doesn't Matterhorne" (a vodka and rhubarb drink dashed with olives). He received 3 points.
