Episode 2: Ballefrans

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in their most obsolete possession, get a feather as far away from themselves as possible, put a biscuit in a box (or a box in a biscuit, if they take the difficult option), fill some cups with water from a tube, and then remove the tablecloth from beneath their beautifully set table.

Title context

Ingrid Linhave utters the exclamation “Ballefrans” during the ‘Fill the cups with water from the tube’ task. This mild expletive is a compound of the word for ‘ball’ and the name ‘Frans’, and is equivalent to the English exclamation, ‘balls’.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

And remember, it usually pays to choose the path of least resistance in life.
