Assistant Intro
You know when you're going to sleep at night, and you've got that fly in your room - a tiny, annoying fly that just keeps coming back? And, apropos of nothing, I have, as usual, my bow-tie wearing sweet-tooth here: David Sundin!

Episode stats
Episode scores
There are some discrepancies between the official total scores for this episode and the points seen to be awarded during the episode. Both sets of scores, and the discrepancies between them, are displayed below.
Notes on discrepancies
- The official and observed points for this episode differ as of the first scoreboard update, after the 'middle of the show' live task, indicating that an additional, unaired task probably took place early on in the episode.
Winner notes
- Due to an extra task, early in the episode, having been edited out of the show, the final observed and official scores differ in a way that changes the winner of the episode.
- Based on the observed tasks alone, Tareq Taylor would have won the episode with 19 points.
- With the additional points from the unaired task, Ania and Tareq are tied with 22 points at the end of the episode, leading to a tie-breaker task which Anis wins, gaining an additional point.
Unaired competition tasks shown in the bonus episode
The following tasks were included in the studio session for this episode, and points awarded were counted towards the contestants's totals, but they did not make the broadcast edit of the episode. However, they were later shown in the bonus episode, at the end of the season.
