Attempts
Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- Hugh put a blanket and a welcome mat on the red mat to reach the canvas and easel. As only the paint and paintbrushes could touch the red mat, Hugh was disqualified.
- Joe taped paintbrushes to a crutch and sticks so he could long-distance paint. Despite painting from a distance and smiling at the camera 20 times, Joe's painting turned out very well.
- Lolly taped a paintbrush to a stick to long-distance paint, as well as squeezing paint tubes at the canvas.
- Mel used a paintbrush to roll the red mat up so she could reach the easel. However, she painted a bad picture of the Taskmaster, so placed third.
- Noel used a paintbrush to roll the red mat up so he could reach the easel. He was also apparently the only contestant to realise that with the front door of the House open he could use the portrait in the entryway as his source material.
