Al resorts to bribery

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Al immediately identifies that the task brief says that he may not move the bucket, but that this doesn’t rule out Alex doing it for him. Alex initially declines to do so, saying that he doesn’t want to because it’s too cold. Al then pulls his wallet out and says he’s got £115 in cash that might warm Alex up. He is then seen waving money in front of Alex, enticing him along the track with the bucket. In the studio, Sara and Greg are visible shocked, while Al is ecstatic and waves his arms above his head triumphantly. Alex, rightly, holds his head in shame. Back at the track, Alex stops after a short distance and asks Al if he can have £10, before he carries on. He then says he’s not going to put it right next to the other bucket, but he does walk it a little bit closer. Al runs back to the starting point and retrieves the hosepipe, then offers Alex another £20 to hold the bucket ‘A’ up so that he can syphon the water out of it, and into bucket ‘B’, using the hose. Al transfers over 11 centimetres of water altogether. In the studio, Alex confirms that he’d received a total of £80 in cash for helping Al out, and so Greg suggests that the money should go to charity. Rob disagrees, and suggests instead that he and the other contestants should get £20 each. In the end, it is agreed that £60 will go to a dolphin charity, and £20 will go to Rob. Also, as a punishment, Greg tells Alex to remove the shoe and sock from his right foot for the remainder of the episode. Greg decides not to penalise Al, and awards him 5 points.
