Joanne pegs some cutlery

Alex interrupts Joanne as she reads out the last line of the task brief by saying “It’s called a support belt”.

Joanne takes the support belt from Alex and puts it on herself, before heading to the shed in support of an impressive load. She emerges from behind the caravan already loaded up with the items she has chosen, which include a life jacket, hula hoops, a steering wheel, a tennis racket, a traffic cone, a sink plunger, and a small clothes dryer to which she has pegged an assortment of cutlery and utensils. She has also stuffed some ceramic plates and plastic drinking glasses inside her life jacket.

She strikes her final pose on the doormat with both arms unencumbered and up in the air.

In the studio, Greg observes that both Joanne and Sophie “did what we call on this show a ‘shed panic’”. When he challenges Joanne to justify how her attempt was impressive, she argues that she’d individually clipped all the items of cutlery to the clothes dryer. Greg acknowledges the effort she’d gone to with this, but otherwise describes her final result as looking like “an old lady who’s had a fall into a room of her own tat”.

Alex reveals that Joanne’s load had weighed 5.4kg, half of which was the traffic cone.

Upon a final review of the photos of each of the contestants with their loads, Greg decides that Joanne’s load was the least impressive, awarding her 1 point.
