Task brief

The task brief is wedged into the gap between the top and bottom halves of the exterior door to the bar, and has a large kitchen knife stuck through it. The brief for the task is as follows:

Trick or treat.

Give Paul either a trick or a treat when he arrives at your door in 20 minutes.

Best trick or treat wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • The contestants receive the task brief in the bar, which has been decorated for Halloween.
  • 18 minutes into their time, a member of the production team turns up at the door to the bar wearing a Halloween costume which completely conceals their identity, tricking the contestants into believing that it's Paul.
  • Paul himself then turns up at the 20 minute mark, dressed as Peter Pan.

Attempts

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

  • Chris decided to treat Paul to an impression of Paul Williams so dressed up as Paul, ripping the clothes as he tried to fit into them and he put on fake eyes. He gave both the first trick or treater and Paul milk and cookies. He received 4 points.
  • Josh set a booby trap so that when the door was opened, an airhorn went off. Whilst he pretended to have been attacked for the first trick or treater, the booby trap went off for both trick or treaters. He received 5 points.
  • Justine held up a large towel and dropped it, running off and screaming so it looked like she had disappeared, which she did for both the first trick or treater and Paul. She also gave Paul a bowl of lollies and a T-Rex toy. She received 1 point.
  • Kura planned to prank Paul by getting him to 'do CPR' on a dummy, accidentally breaking eggs, but gave the trick to the first trick or treater. She ended up giving Paul a bowl of lollies when he arrived. She received 2 points.
  • Paul made Paul a daiquiri from eggs, mustard, coffee and candy corn, which he gave to the first trick or treater. When Paul arrived, he gave him a cutlery set. He received 3 points.
