Episode 6: Hippopotamus

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most narcissistic thing, quietly make a cocktail, draw the animal watching them from a mirror, transfer water from one barrel to another, and draw animals using straight lines.

Title context

'Hippopotamus' was never actually uttered during the episode, but is a reference to Daisy Lee Cooper's drawing of a hippo during the 'Draw animals using straight lines' task.

Alternate Titles

But for now, here's tonight's winner, once more, it's Mawaan!
