Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most braggable-about item, break up their marriage, direct their team-mate through a maze, use a roll of tape in a brilliant way, and deliver three compliments to the Taskmaster. In a thrilling tie-breaker, two contestants go head-to-head to see who can be the first to realise that they need to lie down.

Title context

Mel Bracewell explained in the studio that she felt "there had to be blood" in her attempt at the 'Break up your marriage' task.
