Everyone creates sounds for silent things
In the first round, Jenny is assigned ‘sloth’. She makes a low moaning noise and moves around slowly, while waving her arms around. In response to being assigned ‘oyster’, Lloyd sticks his chin out and babbles throatily, before making some squelchy noises. In response to being assigned ‘worm’, Anne makes some slurping noises while wriggling like a worm. Wil is assigned ‘giraffe’, and so screeches a trumpet-y noise, while elongating his neck. Josh is assigned ‘snail’, so puts his arms by his side and quietly mumbles “mee-mee” repeatedly. Jenny is deemed to have performed the worst sound, and is eliminated in the first round, earning just 1 point.
In the second round, Josh is assigned ‘mime’, prompting him to whine wearily, and then say “It’s annoying, isn’t it, mime?”. Wil is assigned ‘ballerina’, and responds by trilling “Brrr!” loudly, while moving his arms around expressively like a ballerina. Anne is assigned ‘The Taskmaster trophy’, and responds by pulling her head back, so she apparently has no neck, and saying “I’m a bit of a [BEEP]-head!”. Lloyd is assigned ‘a 45-year-old accountant who’s taken a vow of silence’, and hums happily to himself before muttering under his breath that “I wish I’d chosen a different life”. Lloyd is eliminated in the second round and earns 2 points.
In the third round, Wil is assigned ‘The Mona Lisa’ and responds by saying “Why you all looking at me?!” in a bad Italian accent, while gesturing with his hands. In response to being assigned ‘The Last Supper’, Josh says, quite normally, “Oh, I feel like tomorrow is going to be a really good day!”. Anne is assigned ‘American Gothic’ and, apparently not knowing what this actually refers to, stoops down, places her hands on her head like horns, and babbles incoherently while sticking her tongue out. She then stands up straight and, in an American accent, asks “How ya going, man?”. Tom Gleeson decides to eliminate Wil, stating that he felt his effort had contained a racial stereotype. Wil therefore earns 3 points.
In the fourth and final round, Anne is assigned ‘sunset’ prompting her to sing angelically, holding a single high note for a considerable time. Josh responds by stating that he likes it a lot. Josh is then assigned ‘sunrise’, leading him to sing an extended “Ohh” in a lower register. Tom Gleeson says that it’s an easy decision for him to make, as both contestants had the same idea, but one was worse. Anne wins the task and earns 5 points, while Josh earns 4 points.
