Kiell fails to blow a golf ball

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

Kiell heads out to the shed to find supplies for the construction of what he intends to be a complex and impressive Rube Goldberg-esque contraption. He collects drainpipes, pool noodles, and foam bricks for his construction, which begins on the roof of the shed, and descends onto the wooden decking. For some reason, he accessorises his construction with a rubber duck wearing a mop head as a wig. As he begins to test his device, rolling a golf ball down a length of drainpipe, it becomes apparent that he is not successfully realising his vision, as the contraption easily falls apart, and the golf ball does not end up following the path he intended. He ends up abandoning whatever plans he had for the golf ball, once it reaches the decking, and instead places a colander at the bottom of the drainpipe, to catch the ball. He also places another rubber duck in the colander, for no apparent reason. He gets up on a ladder on the other side of the shed, holds another length of drainpipe across the shed roof, and holds the golf ball level with the end of the pipe, in his hand. His plan is to blow the ball down the pipe, so it will roll down and into the second pipe, before landing in the colander. However, he is both blowing at the golf ball from the wrong angle (above and from the side, rather than from behind), and is also unable to muster a strong enough puff of air to move it. He ends up blowing on it multiple times, with no effect, before essentially just tipping the ball off of his hand and down the tube, with no breath involvement. The ball does manage to find its way into the second tube, and enters the colander, but then rolls straight back out again, due to its momentum, ending up loose on the decking. In the studio, Greg is suitably unimpressed with the results, but compliments Kiell's high level of confidence in what he was doing, even though the end results were awful. After Greg awards Jenny and Ivo just 1 point each, Alex steps in to question whether he's actually going to award Kiell more points than them, when he "blew at a golf ball three times, but nothing happened". Greg admits that he's been "hypnotised" by Kiell's charm, and had been about to award him 2 points that he didn't deserve. He instead awards Kiell joint last place, along with Jenny and Ivo.
