Fatiha’s really tricky flight
For her really tricky thing, Fatiha decides to challenge herself to fly a paper aeroplane through the doorway to the geodesic dome.
Emerging from the caravan, Fatiha begins folding her plan on a plinth on the caravan decking. In her commentary, she states that she has “really little fingers”, and claims to be worried that she might get a paper cut. She also claims that she has been working with Andy Murray’s coach.
Fatiha initially attempts to throw her plane from the plinth into the dome, but it’s very poorly made, and immediately spirals into the ground, upon release (while, in her commentary, she is congratulating herself for being “the best”).
Having failed her first attempt, Fatiha then moves much closer to the dome, and successfully flies her plane into it. She’d apparently thought ahead and recorded some extra commentary to account for a possible second attempt, in which she claims “I didn’t doubt her, but I was a little bit sceptical”.
In the studio, when Greg claims to have been impressed by Fatiha’s achievement, she says “Don’t play me”. Greg insists that he’s not playing her, and states that there was “lovely attention to detail” in her commentary, including the reference to Andy Murray’s coach (“He’s jumped over from tennis. Why not?”).
Fatiha admits to feeling awful about her first attempt, but Greg claims to have been genuinely, surprisingly excited by her second attempt.
When it comes time to award first and second place, Fatiha notes that Mathew had thrown a grape into his mouth, while she’d “made a paper plane and flyed it”. When Alex responds that “They both flyed their things”, Greg points out to Fatiha that Alex was ridiculing her. Fatiha points out that she’s busy giving Greg a dirty look, and will switch to giving Alex one, once she’s done.
When Greg isn’t perturbed by her dirty look, Fatiha turns to the audience and says “Don’t worry, we’re gonna get married. You don’t understand. This is foreplay.” Greg awards Fatiha 4 points, noting that “my future wife is going to hate me for this”.
