Mae receives assistance from the Lord

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

Mae greets Alex, upon entering the room, but not by name. However, they do not capitalise on this, when reading the task brief, proceeding to read Alex's name from the brief, and so their timer starts much earlier than it needed to. Mae frantically unwinds the ball of string onto the floor. Once they have completed their unwinding, Alex checks with them that they have done everything that's written on the task, and they finally spot the extra text on the back. Realising that it's going to be difficult to turn the tangle of string back into a neat ball, Mae wonders out loud if there is another ball of string available somewhere. They then open up one of the only two real drawers in the apothecary cabinet that runs along one of the walls of the room, to find a second, very neat ball of string, which they place on the red cushion. In the studio, Mae states that they "genuinely felt like the Lord was involved" in guiding them to the second ball of string. Alex reveals that Mae had completed the task in just 2 minutes and 35 seconds, earning first place.
