Inês catapults a shoe into a bathtub

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

Inês uses a barrel and a kayak paddle as her catapult. She initially builds her catapult in the wrong direction – only figuring it out once she tries launching the shoe. After a few more attempts, Inês declares that the repetitive stomping motion is not good or comfortable for her (Inês is visibly pregnant). In fairness, she is shown rebuilding the catapult after a few failed attempts, so presumably she still did her future catapult constructions herself (she also affirms in the studio that although she may sometimes use her pregnancy to her advantage, she really was uncomfortable during this task). Inês utilises a member of the crew, Pipo, to launch her catapult. At some point, she swaps out the barrel for Nuno as a foundation for her catapult, probably as a joke. Inês next tries some sort of plastic container and a wide wooden board as a catapult. After a few tries, Pipo successfully launches the shoe into the tub, and the two hug in celebration – in the studio, Inês thanks Pipo again before admitting that she never saw him again for the rest of the shoot. Inês (and Pipo) takes 19 minutes 49 seconds and comes third.
