Nina almost half-fills a glass with orange juice

Nina uses the dumb-bell to squash oranges on the table.

She then questions how full the glass needs to be, before it could be considered full, and decides that she only needs to fill it up to 51% for it to count.

She tries to impale oranges on the toothbrush, to move them, and ends up chasing an orange around on the floor.

At one point, after successfully squeezing an orange, she absent-mindedly grabs a new orange with her hand. She immediately realises her mistake, but carries on anyway, hoping that the Taskmaster will show mercy on her.

At the end of her attempt, she is convinced that she has filled the glass more than halfway. However, she had not taken into account the shape of the glass, which meant that the bottom 50% of the glass by height held much less than the top 50% by height.

Tom Cashman reveals that, after 19 minutes and 29 seconds, she had only actually filled the glass up to 49.4%, by volume. Projecting out from these figures, he calculates that it would therefore have taken her 39 minutes and 1 second to completely fill the glass.

She therefore places last in the task, earning just 1 point, despite Danielle's disqualification.

During the discussion of how the orange juice had passed through a potentially sweaty used Croc in some of the other contestants' attempts, Nina pitches the idea for a movie titled 'Foot Juice' (a play on the plot and title of the movie Footloose), thus coining the title of the episode.
