Paul stabs the balloons
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Paul initially tries to pop the balloon containing the task brief by kicking it. He then appears to try to sit on it. He finally pops it, but the remnants of the balloon remain wrapped tightly around the task brief. Before popping any other balloons, he goes into the house to source equipment, and finds a set of dividers (like a drawing compass, but with two sharp points, and no pencil holder). He suggests that he could use this as a “knuckle duster”. He jabs at the balloons with the tool, popping most of them instantly, but has to use his other hand to hold some of them in place. Paul completes the task in 1 minute and 26 seconds, and earns 4 points
