Sue builds a portcullis

After Alex asks Sue if she’s found any secret tasks, Sue asks if she’s meant to be looking for them.

Alex says she can open the “obvious one” if she’d rather.

Sue calls Alex “passive aggressive” and ignores the task on the table, searching the room instead for the secret task.

She eventually reads the “obvious” task brief instead, and says the first thing that has comes to her mind is a portcullis.

She proceeds to set her own task for Alex to complete, placing the task brief on the front doormat of the house, then laying a trail of lollipops from the front door to the caravan, before hiding.

Alex exits the house and reads the task brief, which is as follows:

Hello, Alex. I have reversed roles and set you a task. Mischief!
Please follow the trail of lollipops.
You must unwrap and put each lolly in your mouth as you go.
Follow the lollies to the final destination for the ultimate mischievous surprise.

Alex follows the instructions, but does point out that he believes that putting so many lollipops into his mouth could actually be dangerous.

As he enters the caravan and sits down with his mouth crammed full of lollipops, a cardboard portcullis falls from the roof and covers the open door of the caravan, trapping him inside.

Sue then emerges from the bushes, screams “Portcullis!” at Alex, and runs back into the house.

Greg awards Sue second place.
