Jessica empties the bathtub

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

Jessica uses a large plastic container to bail out some water, then climbs into the tub alternating between using her hands and the plastic container to continue removing the water. When the water reaches a much lower level, Jessica sources a helmet and a paddle from the shed, and uses both to remove water (presumably the large plastic container was unable to scoop up much water at that point). When she gets down to the last bits of water, Jessica uses a pillow from the nearby patio furniture to soak up the rest. Jessica almost throws the wet pillow back into the tub, but changes the direction of her throw last minute and throws it away from the tub – this appears to be an unconscious thing and not that she realised that throwing the pillow in the tub would mean that it wasn’t empty. Jessica empties the tub in 6 minutes 40 seconds and earns third place. Vasco also awards her a bonus point for being the only person to actually get into the tub, which he had expected more of the contestants to do.
