Babatunde finds himself on the wrong show
Having read the task brief, Babatunde sighs “Ah, man. I don’t wanna do like some weird stuff, bro.” In the studio, Greg again highlights how Babatunde has clearly come on to the wrong show.
Babatunde’s first fortune cookie instructs him to retrieve the pineapple from the kitchen. As he does so, he finds the extra fortune cookie in the adjacent cocktail glass, and then brings both items back to the lab with him.
Opening up the fortune cookie from the kitchen, Babatunde discovers that he needs to start over again, which is actually not such a big deal for him, since he’d only just begun.
Opening up another cookie, Babatunde is instructed by the fortune within to place all of the remaining cookies in a bowl of vinegar. Having done so, and then waited the requisite amount of time, he fishes one of the cookies out and tries to remove any excess vinegar by tapping it on the edge of the bowl. After taking a bite, he reacts dramatically, calling the taste “nasty”.
The next fortune instructs him to place all of the cookies into a bowl of hot sauce. After leaving them in there for the necessary amount of time, he starts removing them, and then tastes the hot sauce from the tip of his finger, reacting by saying “Yo. You’re taking the piss.” before sharing that “I’m about to ruin the toilet.”
Babatunde has problems opening up and reading the next fortune because it’s been soaked in vinegar and hot sauce, so Alex informs him that it says he needs to keep his mouth open for the rest of the task.
The next fortune instructs Babatunde to shout the word ‘yes’ for 30 seconds.
We do not see what the fifth fortune cookie instructed him to do.
In the studio, Greg questions why Babatunde and Rosie had reacted so dramatically to the fortune cookies soaked in salt water and vinegar, prompting Babatunde to angrily challenge Greg about how disgusting it tasted. Greg reacts by stating “Baba’s talking to me like an angry teacher.”
Alex initially reveals that Babatunde had completed the task in 20 minutes and 35 seconds, but then later states that it was 20 minutes and 15 seconds. Either way, Babatunde comes last and earns just 1 point.
