Sam destroys the house

Sam picks up a tape measure and holds it over his head.

He runs to the dressing room and comes back with several of his own personal items, holding them over his head one at a time (apparently including whatever gadgets he’d brought to the ‘Pull the sword from the stone’ task in episode 2).

He then crawls under Alex, before finding a piece of lint in his pocket and holding it over his head.

Sam darts around the house, finding many random small objects and bringing them back to the living room to hold over his head and declare that he is underneath them, before graduating to larger items such as kitchen utensils and drawers.

At one point, Sam goes through a jar of coins, arguing that each individual coin is unique, before then laying on the floor in front of the cameraman and asking him to hold the camera over him.

As he leaves the room, Sam offers to help Alex clean up the mess, and then apologises to whomever is charged with cleaning up.

In the studio, Greg calls Sam a “sugar-pumped toddler” and admits that he’d enjoyed his energy.

Alex reveals that Sam had, on average, gotten underneath something new every 8.1 seconds for the entire 10 minutes, racking up a total of 74 things. After penalties, his total number of unique items drops down to 49, but he still comfortably wins the task.
