Rob resorts to using trash

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

Before his attempt is shown, Rob notes how cold it had been, when he’d filmed this task, and Alex confirms that it had been -5°C, that day. In the footage of his attempt, Rob is seen complaining that the task involves moving freezing cold water from one bucket to another, noting that there is ice forming on the surface. He takes the colander, submerges it in the bucket, and walks a few paces with it before pointing out that it’s not going to work because of the holes. He throws the wooly hat to Alex, for him to wear. He then starts giggling, and when Alex asks what’s wrong, he explains that he’d farted because he was so cold. Rob returns to trying to use the colander, this time putting it on top of the tray and walking with both to bucket ‘B’. He then spots someone’s discarded disposable coffee cup, and decides to use that instead. In the studio, Greg questions Rob on whether he always farts when he gets cold, and Rob explains that he was sleep deprived, as he’d recently become a father. Greg shares that he himself tenses up when he’s cold, and then asks Alex if he also farts when he’s cold. Alex claims that he’s actually never farted. When asking Alex how Rob had done in the task, Greg refers to him as “old Farty Ice-Pop”, which Alex immediately abbreviates to “The F.I.P.” (thus coining the episode title), while reporting that he’d managed to complete five trips with the cup, moving 6.6 centimetres of water. Rob earns second place.
