Mahamad eats some watermelon

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

Mahamad takes the most advantage of the fact that his time does not start until he enters the lab. He sends Mark into the lab to blend up the watermelon, so it can be drunk quickly instead of consumed. When Mahamad suggests that Mark blend more than just the watermelon, Mark adds some other liquid, sugar, and Lillet Blanc aperitif, along with ice, and makes a “summer power shake” for Mahamad (complete with a handful of straws and cocktail umbrellas). Mahamad quickly drinks the glass Mark pours for him (noting that it’s particularly strong), before drinking most of a second glass. In the studio, Mahamad reveals that he’d given Mark ice cubes thinking they’d be put in after the drink had been made, but Mark had blended them into smaller pieces instead, and that a previous childhood trauma involving choking on a small piece of ice had stayed with him as an adult, which was why he drank with the straws instead of just chugging straight from the glass. Still, Mahamad manages to consume 593g of (alcoholic) watermelon, and wins the task.
