Kevin deflates a yoga ball

Kevin leaves the study and comes back with a yoga ball. When Antoine questions if Kevin ‘made’ the yoga ball, Kevin grabs a marker pen and autographs it, declaring that since he’s now personalised the yoga ball, he’s ‘made’ it.

Kevin uses his teeth to pull the yoga ball’s plug most of the way out of the hole, then sticks it into his nostril, using his nose to pull it the rest of the way out of the ball.

Unfortunately, the yoga ball deflates much more slowly than Kevin had anticipated, so he spends the rest of his time helping to deflate it by applying additional pressure. He first leans on the ball with his body weight, crowing about his intelligent approach to the task. He then piles on a large golden lion statue and a chair, as well as his entire body weight, to help speed up and eventually complete the deflation process.

In the studio, Louis questions whether Kevin is just trying to mess with him on purpose, or whether he is serious. Kevin argues that his attempt should count, but Louis replies that not only is a ball not a bubble, but that deflating is not the same as popping.

However, after Louis responds positively to Tammy’s attempt with a balloon (‘ballon’), an argument breaks out among the contestants about his double standard, and whether either attempt should count (‘ballon’ can mean either ‘ball’ or ‘balloon’), which leads to Antoine complaining that he misses the previous season’s contestants.

Despite the valid arguments – and likely because doing so would be funny – Louis awards Kevin no points.
