Leo's forced brick sale threat

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

Leo initially puts his hand in his pocket and points it at Bård, through his jacket, simulating a handgun. However, this is just a joke, and his actual prize task submission is a single concrete brick. He notes that many criminals who rob people have come up with 'nicer' ways to do so, than pointing guns at them. He describes how a friend of his, who returned to Bosnia, had returned home one day to find strangers on his property. The strangers were holding such a brick, with a price tag of 100 euros attached to it, and were insisting that he could have it for just 50 euros. Bård suggests that one could just decline the offer, but Leo points out that when there are a group of people stood around you, holding a brick, and perhaps even insisting that you'd ordered it, you might not have the nerve to do so. Bård notes that Leo's description of the event had probably done as much good for Bosnian tourism as Karin's revelation of her parents' silverfish problem had done for the value of their home. Leo ultimately wins the task.
