Behrouz pre-nails and after-drills

Behrouz searches the shed for materials, ultimately deciding to use a large red throw blanket. He places it on a workbench and takes an electric drill to it, intending on making holes through which he can thread something to suspend it from. unsurprisingly, all that happens is that the fabric gets wound around the drill bit.

To combat this issue, Behrouz makes holes in the throw by first hammering nails into it, and then pokes the drill bit through the holes and uses the drill to enlarge them (a process David describes as “pre-nailing and after-drilling”).

Behrouz runs some rope through the newly-created holes in the throw, and then strings his hammock up between two trees. However, he quickly realises that the weight of both David and himself will bring the hammock well below 30 centimetres from the ground below.

After briefly trying to adjust his hammock’s height, he wonders if he could put a ‘stabiliser’ beneath the hammock. His chosen stabiliser turns out to be the work bench.

After Behrouz spreads his hammock out on the workbench, he tells David to climb in – assigning him the honour of being the “big spoon” – and then follows suit.

The two men lie on the workbench together for the required amount of time. As Behrouz walks away, the camera pans over to the task brief, left forgotten in the grass nearby.

In the studio, Mauri points out that only Behrouz (the smallest of the male contestants) could have made this solution work.

Behrouz earns a single participation point.
