Annika pushes a watermelon up a slide

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

Annika grabs a few breadsticks and wonders if she can use them like chopsticks to pick the watermelon up; this plan fails immediately. Annika re-reads the task and asks Mark to lift the slide up. While the watermelon rolls down the slide towards the finishing line, Annika quickly uses a single breadstick to help push it the rest of the way over the finishing line, in an attempt to claim that the melon was pushed across the finishing line via breadsticks. Lasse decides that in the instance of this task, Mark is simply a tool that Annika used, and that having Mark move the slide was the same as Annika moving the slide herself, as she told him to do so. [Note: as this ruling would definitely contradict other times Mark has successfully been used to bypass rules in other tasks, this decision was likely made to increase the entertainment of the show by having this attempt counted among all the actual disqualifications]. As the decision is made to base the results entirely on the number of breadsticks used, Annika earns third place, having used 10 breadsticks.
