Jenny mistakenly trusts her internal clock

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

Jenny decides that, having been a stand-up comic for many years, she can probably rely upon her internal clock to estimate when her 20 minutes are up. She therefore spends her time focusing on coming up with the list of 40 words. She starts her list with the word 'imagination' and then realises that there's nothing in the rules prohibiting using the same word over and over, so proceeds to write the same word down 39 times. Alex notes that it's somewhat ironic that she would choose to repeat this specific word, given how little imagination is required in her solution. On a couple of occasions during her attempt, Jenny attempts to trick Alex into revealing to her how much time she has remaining, by just asking him outright and hoping he is caught off-guard. When he asks her the same question back, at 4 minutes and 57 seconds, she estimates that she has been in the caravan for about 8 minutes. Her list ends dramatically with the word 'broken'. She eventually decides that she's been in the caravan for 20 minutes, but notes that it's also possible that she's actually overstayed her welcome and left at 30 minutes. In the studio, Alex reveals that Jenny actually left the caravan after just 10 minutes and 57 seconds. However, after Kiell and Mae are disqualified, Jenny earns third place.
