Tom does not stab a duck

The first block Tom removes instructs him to remove the next block while wearing a blindfold. He kneels down and successfully removes a block from near the base of the tower while blindfolded, and then reads the instruction on the block only to find out that he must now place it back where it came from.

Tom is subsequently instructed to remove a block from one metre away, so he runs over to the nearby fence to retrieve a metal pole which is stuck in the ground. However, as is returning with it, the wind blows and topples the tower, so Paul stops the clock.

When Tom asks if Paul is kidding, Paul acknowledges that it was quite a strong wind, but also points out that Tom had removes one of the blocks at the very bottom of the tower, making it very unstable.

Tom walks slowly back to the house with his pole, prompting Paul to tell him not to stab a duck that had wandered into the area. Tom confirms that he’s not going to stab the duck, and then greets it with a “Hi, honey.”

In the studio, when Jeremy asks Tom if he was going to stab the duck, Tom says “Yeah, pretty much”, before adding “The wind was against me. I refuse to lose.”

It’s revealed that Tom had only managed to remove three blocks before his tower toppled, which earns him last place and 1 point.
