Balance items on the table

  • In this live studio task, the contestants must take it in turns to choose an object from a pile on stage, and balance it on a small table.
  • If the contestants cause any items to fall from the pile on the table, they are eliminated from the task.
  • The last contestant standing wins.
  • Sometimes, a smaller table is introduced after the first couple of rounds, to increase the difficulty.

Original version

In this version of the task, a smaller table is introduced to the game after the first couple of rounds.

Adaptations

In this version of the task, many of the items available to be stacked are different, and many refer to previous tasks from the show’s history. Also, the pile of items on the table is not reset between eliminations, and a smaller table is not introduced after two rounds.
