Pop objects out of your hole

  • In this live studio task, the contestants must pop small spherical objects (e.g. tennis balls, or plastic eggs) out of holes in the front of bags they are wearing.
  • The goal is to be the first to pop a certain number of objects of a certain colour out.
  • Objects popped out which are not the desired colour lead to forfeits which must be performed by one or all of the contestants (e.g. screaming, or dancing).
  • There is also a single rubber-duck in each bag which, if popped out, leads to instant disqualification.

Original version

In this version of the task, the contestants are standing wearing adapted sleeping bags, and must pop coloured tennis balls out of their holes.

Adaptations

In this version of the task, the contestants remain seated throughout, and are wearing thin fabric bags, rather than adapted sleeping bags. Also, the bags contain plastic eggs, rather than tennis balls.
