Jo and Mehdi fixate on their balloon while Christine gets shit done

Jo and Mehdi are intensely focused on filling a balloon with flour using the funnel, and don't seem to be interested in Christine's ideas, so she just begins packing flour into bread rolls and flinging them at the target.

Jo tries to talk her out of continuing, after her first three rolls miss the target, but she persists and, while the boys return all of their focus to their balloon, she manages to land her fourth roll successfully.

She then switches her attention to the cuddly stuffed toy panda, cutting it open and removing its stufffing, while Mehdi cuts the top off of his balloon to create an easier-to-fill pouch.

The boys tie the filled pouch to a length of string and use that to fling it at the target in a retrievable way, while Christine fills the hollow panda to the brim with flour.

Jo then helps her tie a length of string to the panda, and she is just about to throw it herself when Mehdi steps in and takes over, insisting that he is "the best at throwing".

This proves not to be the case, as he overshoots the target.

They reel the panda back in, and Christine has a go, but her throw falls short.

With just a minute left, Jo takes his own turn with the panda, and lands it squarely on the target.

With just 20 seconds left, the team are at odds about how to best use the time, with Mehdi still trying to fill another balloon, and Christine trying to just fling the whole board with the remaining flour on it.

In the last frantic few seconds, each of them desperately flings something at the target, and Christine closes by picking up and tossing the entire table off the balcony.

In the studio, Antoine reveals that the team managed to get 8.5 pounds of flour onto the target, winning the task.

Louis awards Christine 5 points, and her team-mates just 3 points.
