Lucy predicts humanity’s future

Lucy crawls into one of the corners of the defined space, rises up onto her knees, and tells Alex that she’s picked her spot.

She screams nervously when a rubbish robot gets close to her, and reaches out to touch it, but Alex reminds her that they are to be avoided.

Lucy knee-walks parallel with the rubbish robot that she can hear, and then kicks a hamster ball directly into one of the robots’ paths, narrowly preventing it from touching her.

Lucy continues to knee-walk around the area, listening out for the robots. At one point, she rhetorically asks Alex if this task is what the future will be like: everyone hiding from robots.

Eventually, she starts crawling again, and is hit on the leg by one of the robots.

In the studio, Lucy admits that the task was one of her favourites, as it was more or less what she did every day (presumably, as the mother of a young child).

Lucy survives for 3 minutes and 42 seconds, and wins the task.
