Task brief
The contestants find the task brief on a plinth in the garden, alongside a fibreglass cow. The brief for the task is as follows:
Touch the cow.
The first person to touch the cow will be disqualified.
The second person will come third.
The third person will come second.
The fifth person will come fourth.
The fourth person will win.
Task notes
- Chief task writer Sam Smith shared on Twitter that this task was written and filmed before anyone had seen the similar 'High-five Alex' task, which appeared in series 13 of Taskmaster UK. He was apparently also unaware that the 'High-five' task had originally appeared two years earlier on Bäst i Test as 'High-five David'.

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- Chris touched the cow first after 1.6 seconds, as he did not read the task in full before touching the cow, thus disqualifying him from the task.
- Josh touched the cow fifth after 26 minutes and 35 seconds whilst breaking a deck chair, the plinth and the caravan's fence, receiving 2 points.
- Justine touched the cow third after 3 minutes and 37 seconds, receiving 4 points.
