Episode 5: Babben is unhappy

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must mint a new nickname for themselves, blow out a room full of candles as quickly as possible, complete mini-tasks as dictated by the Wheel of Babben, draw the median man, pitch a tent within a tent, get David to break up with them, and decorate (then undecorate) a cake.

Title context

David Sundin states that “Babben is unhappy” with the contestants’ cakes, after the completion of the first part of the ‘Decorate your cake / undecorate your cake’ task.

Assistant Intro

Before we begin, we have to clear a small hurdle. It’s really small, bordering on insignificant, and his name is David Sundin.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What have we learned today? Well, it’s hard to get dumped by David. Think before you give yourself a nickname. And you don’t have to wear a snorkel all of the time.
