John apparently enjoys suffering and failure
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
John's first instinct is to make a big slide from the chutes. He then requests "five little chocolates". He sets seven of the chutes up together on the driveway, anchored on two barrels, creating a long tunnel to crawl through, which is lit internally with fairy lights. Alex has hidden the "five choccies" he requested within the tunnel, the far end of which is covered with John's jacket. John crawls slowly and uncomfortably through the tunnel, finding all of the chocolates, before requesting that Alex "lower the flap" so he can "have some pleasure time" with them. After consuming the chocolates, he asks Alex to lift the flap again, so he can exit the tunnel. He then attempts to kick a football into the eighth chute, which has been inserted into a hole in the plastic dome (created by removing one of the hexagonal panes). He misses multiple times, all the while inisting that the experience is "pleasurable", before switching to having Alex throw the ball at him, so he can try to 'head' it into the chute, instead. This also proves too difficult for him to achieve, so he switches to throwing the ball up himself, and trying to head it it while stood immediately in front of the pipe. Even this straightforward challenge takes him multiple tries to achieve and, even then, the ball misses the large service bell that's been set up inside the dome to give a satisfying 'ding' on completion. In the studio, Greg asks John what his definition of 'pleasure' is, to which he responds "Doing something well", to everyone's great amusement. Greg points out that John was clearly in pain during most of the task, and John admits that he did not enjoy crawling down the chute. Greg also points out that John had revealed, on national TV, just how bad he was at football. Despite his struggle and humiliation, Greg awards John three points, stating that he thinks John just "expresses pleasure in a different way".
