Nikki and Henrik make a long selfie stick
Henrik picks up the camera and asks David how many pictures may be taken. David replies that the camera has ten shots left on it. Nikki re-reads the task, and asks if David can take the picture for them, but he declines to help. Nikki and Henrik decide that they need to build a trigger to set off the camera. The two go to the shed and gaffer-tape several wooden planks together, laying them across the bathtub and a barrel. They also place the camera on the barrel, aiming to push the planks forward to depress the camera’s shutter button. With five minutes left, Henrik is able to reposition the planks so that the camera takes a photo. This results in a picture of Nikki quite far away, but Henrik quite close to the camera. After a bit more fiddling, Henrik and Nikki are able to successfully take a picture while positioned behind the bathtub. In the remaining seconds of the task, they try to take one more picture from a further distance, but end up knocking the camera off of the barrel. Henrik grabs the camera, and the two take a selfie as the timer runs out, which they present to David as a reminder of their time together. In the studio, an argument occurs as to the definition of ‘you must both be clearly visible’ – whether this means each contestant must be specifically identifiable, or whether the fact that it’s possible to identify that two people are present is sufficient. Ultimately Babben accepts the latter definition. Nikki and Henrik managed to take a picture from 4 metres and 93 centimetres away, and lose the task.
