Marko gets frustrated

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

Marko is tasked with getting ‘increasingly frustrated’ every time David gives him an answer. His strategy is to just go pair by pair, asking if each is the one David has in mind. When David declines, Marko throws each pair of shoes out of the barn, with increasing force, eventually moving on to screaming while he does so. At no point does Marko alter his method, but he eventually does find the correct pair of shoes, and then narrows it down to the right shoe. When David does not stop the timer, Marko re-reads the task, focusing on the line about no other shoes being visible, and immediately takes off his own shoes, throwing them outside of the barn. When David still does not stop the timer, Marko throws the selected ballet flat out of the barn as well. As the time keeps running, Marko yells that he doesn’t know what else he is supposed to do. He retrieves the ballet flat and puts it back on the pedestal. Realising that David is still wearing shoes, he removes them and then throws them out of the barn, too. Marko takes 10 minutes and 38 seconds, and earns second place.
