Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Gilmário’s video is of a warrior jumping backwards out of a pool, catching a shield and a sword, turning around and walking away. Gilmário comes joint third.
- Inês' film has Nuno in a bathtub, covered in rubber ducks. Inês declares, in English, “I am the real master”, and she gestures to the ducks, causing them to be sucked into the air. Nuno sits up and calls to Vasco for help while Inês laughs. Inês comes second.
- Jessica’s film is of a massive tug of war game, where she is quite easily pulling along a dozen people who are pulling the other end of the rope. Jessica comes fourth.
- As Nuno puts it in the studio, Manuel’s film is of a man un-hurting himself. A wet Manuel rolls into a few overturned chairs, setting them upright. He then says something that comes out in reverse through the edit (i.e. he did not take the time to learn to say whatever he wanted said in reverse), before turning an empty plastic bottle over his head, drying himself. Manuel comes joint third.
- Toy’s film is impressive, not because of what he does, but because it’s very well-choreographed when one remembers that he did the whole thing backwards. Toy walks near the pool in his bathrobe, has some coffee, gets into the pool (testing the temperature with his foot first), and walks into the deep end. Toy wins the task.
