Attempts

Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!

  • Lidija tears off small parts of the box and tapes them to her face to make a beard and moustache. However, she unconsciously also strikes a very feminine pose while displaying her creation, for which she is mocked in the studio. Lidija earns three points.
  • Enio breaks down the box and lays it down next to the pool. He then lays down on the cardboard, removes his shirt, puts his feet in the water, and starts singing. He explains that nothing is more masculine than simply lying down, secure in the knowledge that no one can complain that he's doing nothing. Enio earns one point.
  • Ante puts the cardboard box in a wheelbarrow. Inside the box, he places a mannequin and covers it with some camouflage netting. He claims that the mannequin is a hybrid of soldier and builder, and proceeds to create a Jackass-style stunt, wherein he pushes the wheelbarrow down a wooden ramp and into the pool. Ante earns two points.
  • Igor cuts the box apart and builds a scaled-down football pitch. He initially completes the look with a basketball, which promptly rolls off of the pitch and into the nearby pool. He finds a smaller plastic ball to use instead, and challenges Luka to a game of mini-football, which Igor wins. He then picks up the discarded parts of the cardboard box and waves them around, emulating sign-holding fans in a football stadium. Igor earns five points.
  • Ana tapes the box flaps down, runs a rope around the box, and hangs it from a pillar connected to the house, creating a basketball hoop. She and Luka spend the few remaining moments of her attempt playing basketball. Ana earns four points.
