Luke invents a new game within the task

Luke instantly decides that he wants to stick his arm in the jar of yeast spread, to see how it feels. He soons discovers that it doesn't feel good.

He then gets distracted from the task at hand, and comes up with a game of his own, which he plays with Tom Cashman. The game involves covering one of your own hands, and also a mannequin's hand, with yeast spread, and then getting the other player to guess which one is which. Tom Cashman guesses correctly in the first round, and then Luke guesses incorrectly when Tom takes a turn.

By the time they have finished playing their side-game, Luke only has 43 seconds left to complete the first part of the task.

Making use of the fact that both men already have their hands covered in yeast spread, he decides to re-enact a handshake from the movie Predator, with the handshake itself being the 'best thing' that he has covered with spread.

As he opens the second task brief with his yeast spread covered hands, he mutters "Don't be 'Clean it off'. Don't be 'Clean it off'." Of course, this is exactly what he has to do.

He and Tom head off to the kitchen and try to rinse the spread off with water, but it doesn't seem to work very well.

Despite the time pressure, he decides that they should play one more round of their new game together, with the partially-cleaned hands, so they return to the study to do that.

Back in the kitchen, Luke still has spread all up the back of one of his wrists. Thematically in keeping with an excuse he made during the 'Sink the bowling ball' task, which was shown earlier in this episode, he claims that it's actually not yeast spread at all, but that he had had a "bathroom accident".

In the studio, Tom Gleeson is excited that Luke created a new task for himself, within the task, but points out that he also lost that task.

Tom Cashman shares that, if they are accepting that the brown mess on his arm was human faeces, then Luke's final time was 7 minutes and 33 seconds. This time secures him third place.
