Episode 6: A cradle of toast

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must choose and complete one of six tasks, eat (or not eat) a chocolate bunny, recreate three historic events from different centuries, leave the lowest unique number of baubles on a Christmas tree, put five gummy fish in a fishbowl, keep an hourglass running for as long as possible, and roll fruit across a finish line as slowly as possible.

Title context

David Sundin suggests that the chocolate bunny eaten by Alfred Svensson has landed in “a cradle of toast” in his stomach, during the ‘Eat a chocolate bunny (or don’t)’ task.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What have we learned today? Well, fruit rolls its own way. Don’t get too eager around hourglasses. And don’t separate beads if you’re colourblind.
