Objective

Single brief

Adapted

Mastertasks:

Roll a toilet roll, and then use it to retrieve something

Mastertask notes:

In this version of the task, the second part of the task (retrieving your shoe) was omitted, since only one contestant even managed to get their toilet roll into the designated area.

Locations:

Fremantle Studios Portugal

Winner takes all?

Yes

Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Standing behind the white line, unfurl the toilet paper roll so it passes the red line.

If your roll doesn't go past the red line, or if it falls from the platform, you're out.

Task notes

It seems likely that there should have been a second part to this task, wherein the contestants would have to retrieve one of their shoes, placed on their toilet roll, as quickly as possible.
However, since only one person actually managed to roll their toilet roll into the designated area, the second part of the task was not required.

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

António unfurls his red toilet roll across the stage extension, but it comes to a rest a few feet short of the red line, so he is eliminated.
Jessica carefully kneels down and positions her blue toilet roll on the edge of the stage extension, but then clumsily bats it with her hand, sending it skittering off at an angle, and coming to a stop even further away from the red line that António's. She is therefore also eliminated, and lies down on the stage in defeat.
Toy sort of throws his lemon toilet roll across the stage extension, but this results in the paper breaking, and the rest of the roll's momentum being reduced. The roll lands on one of its flat faces, almost exactly parallel to Jessica's failed roll. Toy is therefore also eliminated, and protests in vain that his toilet roll was 'faulty'.
Inês has the pink toilet roll, which perfectly matches the vivid pink dress she is wearing. She throws the roll quite far, while holding onto the loose end of the paper. It lands next to António's roll before rolling safely over the red line, and coming to a stop just before reaching the edge of the stage extension. As the only contestant to successfully get her toilet roll past the qualifying line, she wins the task by default.
Gilmário tries to roll his yellow toilet roll along the very edge of the stage extension, to avoid colliding with anyone else's roll, but somehow manages to throw it straight into Toy's roll. It bounces off of that and comes to a rest just inches ahead of Toy's roll. Gilmário is therefore also eliminated from the task.
