Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in an object for debate, hide a rubber duck (and then find it again), call someone on the phone and get them to say a word of their choice as many times as possible, carry the most balloons to the caravan, and memorise the objects depicted on a poster in an outhouse.

Title context

Ingrid Gjessing Linhave uses the phrase “opposite of Mensa” to describe her experience of the ‘Hide the rubber duck / Find the rubber duck’ task. Mensa is an international association for people with high IQs.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Remember that it’s better to have one balloon in your hand, than 10 in the tower.
