Jessica makes a parachute for a spoon
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Jessica decides to use helium balloons. To make her parachute more dramatic, Jessica draws flames on the wooden spoon to indicate that it’s on fire. She also attaches a (fake) bloody knife to the balloons, as well as a few sparklers. This adds a significant amount of weight to her spoon (which will make its descent very quick), but Jessica does not seem to take that into consideration. In the build up to the drop, Jessica hums the Imperial March from Star Wars to add a bit more drama. Jessica’s parachute gets stuck in the grabber the crew uses to drop the balloon; she (jokingly) insists that it counts as part of her descent time. Jessica’s spoon falls in 3 seconds, and she comes fourth.
