Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • David attached helium balloons to the brussels sprout, constantly letting go of the balloons. On the way back to the balcony, the brussels sprout floated to the ceiling of the house, causing David to have to climb the rafters to retrieve it. He floated his brussels sprout down from the balcony for 12 hours, receiving 3 points.
  • Guy filled a pan with water, with the brussels sprout floating in it and walked downstairs from the balcony, putting the pan on the floor so the sprout would continue to float. Later, during another task, David emptied the pan and threw the brussels sprout on the floor, thinking it was litter. Guy floated his brussels sprout down from the balcony for 2 days, 22 hours and 27 minutes, receiving 4 points.
  • Laura initally tried to blow the brussels sprout with the leaf blower, before filling a bucket with water and putting the brussels sprout in it so it would float. She then lowered the bucket down from the balcony with a rope, tying it to the balcony's bannister where it was left to hang, causing the brussels sprout to remain floating. She floated the brussels sprout down from the balcony for 74 days, three hours and 48 minutes, receiving 5 points.
