Lloyd empathises with JFK

Lloyd enters the room and greets Tom with the word “Trebuchet”.

Lloyd puts on the helmet and walks underneath the balloons, popping them, and soon collecting some hot chips. The popping of the balloons is quite loud, and he comments that he thought he’d been shot.

He then accidentally collects some microchips in his basket, and so has to empty it. In footage which didn’t make the final edit, he then collects some more hot chips.

He guesses before popping it that one of the balloons contains chips, but it turns out to contain poker chips instead, so he has to empty his basket again.

After he accidentally pops some more balloons, he comments that the experience is a metaphor for his life. When Tom questions what he means by this, Lloyd responds with “failure”.

He collects some more chips, but soon has to empty his basket again, after collecting something else.

As the balloons continue to burst around his head, he says “Now I know how JFK felt”.

With 10 seconds to go, he manages to collect two hot chips.

When Tom asks if he would have taken a different approach if he had his time again, Lloyd says “I would not agree to be on this show”.

In the studio, Tom Gleeson asks what Lloyd had meant about his JFK comment, and Lloyd points out that loud explosions were happening around his head. When Tom points out that JFK also felt pretty dead afterwards, Lloyd says that he’d also felt dead, when he looked in the basket and saw he only had two chips.

Lloyd earns 2 points.
