Aaron dislodges his orange with a banana

Aaron coats an orange in flour and water paste, and predicts that it will remain attached to the ceiling for just 12 seconds. When he notices Concetta’s three items already stuck to the ceiling, Tom Cashman refers to them as “some regrettable attempts from previous contestants”.

Aaron then sticks a second orange to the ceiling, before questioning whether it’s permissible to knock the item down using something else. He uses a banana to dislodge his orange, stating that he had timed it to exactly 2 minutes by watching Tom’s clock. He then sticks a mango to the ceiling above Tom’s head, which immediately falls and hits Tom on the nose.

In the studio, Tom Gleeson asks if Aaron had placed the mango above Tom’s head on purpose. Aaron insists he was just caught up in the moment. When asked if this was comedic or accidental, Aaron replies “That one was not comedy. That was… um… sports.”

Aaron’s orange remained attached to the ceiling for 2 minutes and 3 seconds before he knocked it off with a banana. Tom Gleeson allows this solution, since Aaron didn’t touch the item directly. Aaron therefore wins the task and earns 5 points.
