Joanne’s moustachioed labial folds
After Joanne joins Alex in the middle of the field, he announces “Here we are in nature”. When she observes how “gorgeous” the location is, he asks “Is it?” and then confesses that he feels like a “fish out of water”, as a “city person”. This leads Joanne to opine that she thinks Alex is a fish out of water “wherever you are”.
Having read the task brief, she admits that she is “not arty now, at all”, leading Alex to observe that she has “other skills”. However, he then asks her what those other skills are, and she confesses that “I don’t know yet”.
Joanne starts to wheel the shopping bag away from the starting point and, when Alex asks where she is going, states “Well, I’m gonna go big.” Not much of her creative process is shown in the edit.
In the studio, she admits that she hadn’t really enjoyed the task, confessing that she isn’t really into “art or numbers”.
Joanne’s join-the-dots picture is revealed in the studio last, and immediately appears to resemble the drawing of the female reproductive system she’d added to her sausage during the ‘Make your sausage...’ task. Joanne seems surprised by her own creation, stating “actually, it’s not that bad.”, and “I thought it was gonna be a lot worse than that.”
After Greg guesses that Joanne has drawn an anchor, she admits that it does look like “fallopian tubes”, which Greg shares with her was genuinely going to be his second guess. However, Joanne reveals that what she’d actually intended to draw was a curly moustache, of the type that might be worn by “the lads… on the penny farthings”. In response to the confused reaction from the audience, she insists “It’s not that bad!”, but Greg then immediately confirms with her that it is.
When Joanne admits she can’t recall what the bottom part of her drawing represented, Alex shares that she’d told him that it was a “labial fold”, which Greg then interprets to mean “a moustache atop a vagina”. However, Joanne insists that she’d meant the facial folds between the cheeks and the mouth, which Alex then clarifies (with help from the production gallery) are known as a ‘nasolabial folds’. Although pleased that she had gotten the terminology correct, Joanne admits that her drawing doesn’t actually look like what she’d intended, and Greg agrees that “the picture’s still shit” but he acknowledges that he’d at least learned an “interesting fact”.
When awarding points, Greg reiterates that Joanne’s attempt had been educational, but also states that it was the “second worst”, so she earns just 2 points.
