Attempts

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

  • Aisling brought in access to the Causeway Business Lounge at Belfast Airport, for which she had paid £25 for just 13 minutes.
  • Bob brought in his completed 2014 World Cup sticker book, which was valued at £10.
  • Mark brought in a garden gate with access to a community garden located behind his house. This had cost him £18,000, as the communal garden was owned by a residents' association.
  • Nish brought in €100, which he paid £91 for.
  • Sally brought in one of Bob's turds, to be professionally dried out and placed within a resin sphere, to be displayed at the National Poo Museum on the Isle of Wight. Bob's preserved turd was valued at between £10,000 and £15,000.
