Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the best home-made item, balance Alex on a see-saw, record the most incredible POV footage, light a candle using a cupcake, and make themselves monotone. Also, Aisling gets a special photography assignment involving a golden pineapple, and a tie is broken by kicking a pot of yoghurt at a target.

Title context

'Spoony Neeson' was a character created by Aisling Bea for her attempt at the 'Record the most incredible PoV footage' task.

Alternate Titles
