Charlotta goes for all three options

Charlotta focuses on the ‘eye-catching’ option from the task brief, and decides to use a play on words. The Swedish word used in the task brief is ‘iögonfallande’, which literally translates to ‘in-eye falling’, and so Charlotta decides to represent this by throwing lemons into something which looks like an eye.

While creating her ‘eye’ out of a traffic cone, Charlotta decides that she also wants to incorporate the other two options from the task brief – ‘visionary’ and ‘awe-inspiring’ – so she adjusts her plan.

Charlotta stands on the ground floor balcony of the Bäst i Test house, while David stands some distance away from her on the driveway, thus creating a height differential (as the ground floor is slightly elevated). With the two in position, Charlotta lays out exactly how her idea fulfils the brief: the eye – a spray-painted traffic cone held by David – is ‘visionary’, the lemon will be ‘eye-catching’ (‘in-eye-falling’), and the fact that she will succeed on her first throw will be ‘awe-inspiring’.

Charlotta then tosses a lemon off of the balcony, but it bounces off of the rim of the traffic cone and lands instead on David’s clipboard. After several more tries, Charlotta eventually manages to throw a lemon into the traffic cone. She then continues to land throws over further distances – the longest of which causes a paper eye she had taped onto the traffic cone to come off.

Babben awards Charlotta last place.
