Jimmy becomes Ute Man

After reading the task brief, Jimmy checks with Tom Cashman whether he's going to follow him around for the rest of his life to ensure he doesn't repeat whatever he is about to do. Tom indicates that he will not, but the news will get back to him.

Jimmy decides to try to move the caravan without the aid of a vehicle. However, he first decides that he should be wearing a costume, so dons a bald cap and orange streamers, and simulates being given birth to by the Taskmaster ute, creating the character of Ute Man. Tom assist with the birth, and bites the orange streamer umbilical cord connecting Ute Man to his 'mother'.

Tom then puts on a wig and hat, places a banana skin by the caravan's wheels, to mark its starting position, and tries to pull it. He claims that it had moved a couple of inches, but this seems unlikely, from the footage.

On his way back into the house, Jimmy taps on the bonnet of the ute, and says "See ya, dad".

In the studio, it is pointed out that the act was not that incredible, and then it is revealed, through additional video footage, that Jimmy had immediately tried to move the caravan again four more times, thus invalidating the once-in-a-lifetime aspect of the task. He is therefore disqualified, and earns no points.
