Babatunde recreates Banksy’s Flower Thrower

Having read the task brief, Babatunde protests that he’s not the kind of person who attends art exhibitions.

He decides to recreate Banksy’s famous Flower Thrower mural on the stage at the side of the house.

As he is preparing, he states that he hates flowers. He then wraps a black scarf around the lower half of his face to make himself “look like a thug”, while stating that he has “no gang affiliation” apart from church, and that “I gang-bang for Jesus”.

In the studio, before the reveal of the final artworks, Greg asks why Babatunde is so angry about flowers, and Babatunde says he’s traumatised by how often his wife requests flowers, because it always makes other people think he’s in the doghouse.

When Babatunde’s recreation is revealed, he has perfectly matched the pose of the figure in the original mural, and everyone is very impressed, prompting him to insist “I keep telling people, I’m amazing!”.

Frustrated that every contestant had done a really good job in the task, Greg reluctantly acknowledges that he'll have to give everyone a lot of points, and then just “hope they fuck up the next task”. He awards everyone 5 points.
