Stevie’s really tricky leap frog goal

In preparation for her really tricky thing, Stevie steps up to a literal (dining) plate on the lawn, then checks that she is behind a rope line, before bending down three times and then jumping up into the air a few times, then flexing and shaking her arms out as a warm-up.

Once ready to perform her really tricky thing, Stevie runs forwards to where Alex is nervously kneeling on all fours on the grass, as a small football is thrown towards her, then jumps onto Alex’s back as she heads the ball into a nearby football goal.

She then celebrates by dousing herself and Alex in water from a nearby flask, performing a forward roll over a small cushion on the grass, and then high-fiving Alex, before running off, screaming, around the side of the house.

In the studio, when Greg asks Stevie what the sport was, she explains that she’d never done a leapfrog or scored a goal before, so she was trying to do both things at the same time. Greg points out that she’d actually landed right on Alex’s back, rather than doing a leapfrog, but he says that it was “genuinely impressive”.

However, when it comes time to award points, Greg states that he doesn’t know how tricky “jumping on your back and heading a goal is”. When Stevie attempts to argue that it was tricky for her, he refuses to take her relative ability into account, and awards her just 2 points.
