• Dara drops his first whole toilet roll and misses. He then begins brainstorming other strategies he could use (all of which would require equipment he did not have on hand), before wadding up various lengths of toilet roll and throwing that, attempting to find an 'ideal amount of weight to stability'. He then suggests that they break into a fishing supplies store, before managing to land a sizable wad of toilet paper in the bowl. He continues with this successful strategy, landing additional wads, and then a whole roll in the bowl. However, all of his remaining six rolls bounce off the toilet seat. Greg described Dara's performance as 'walking the fine line between physics theorist and confused uncle in a shed'. Alex reveals that Dara landed a total of 183 sheets in the toilet, earning him first place in the task.
• Fern starts just dropping her toilet rolls whole, one-by-one, missing four times in a row (and exclaiming 'Oh nooo!' after each) before asking whether she should have some kind of tactic. Her fifth whole toilet roll bouces off the rim twice and then lands on the floor, and her sixth also bounces off the seat and misses. Her ninth roll lands directly in the toilet bowl, but the remaining three miss, and she runs out of ammunition with 13 minutes left on the clock. With her one successful shot, she manages to get 140 sheets of toilet paper into the toilet, and earns second place in the task.
• John starts out suggesting that 'gravity will provide the power', so throws his first whole toilet roll up, rather than down, and misses the target. He then immediately switches to throwing down, rather than up, but misses again with his second and third toilet rolls. He then decides to try making toilet paper aeroplanes (pointing out 'the chassis, the wings' of his first plane, thereby coining the episode title). The first plane hits the toilet seat and falls on the floor, and his second attempt, a larger model, is even less successful. He then switches back to dropping whole toilet rolls again, missing every shot. In the studio, Alex reveals that he had managed to throw an entire toilet roll into a bin over an even greater distance, after they finished filming the task. However, in the task itself, he did not manage to get any paper into the toilet. He is still awarded a point for his effort, though.
• Munya immediately begins breaking the toilet rolls down into smaller wads of paper to give himself more chances of landing shots. He then takes many, many shots, saying 'LeBron James' before each one, but only landing a few in the bowl. He eventually becomes despondent at his lack of success, and starts throwing some larger wads of paper as his time runs out. Overall, he manages to get 61 sheets of paper into the toilet, earning fourth place in the task.
• Sarah immediately starts out throwing entire rolls of toilet paper at the toilet, missing the bowl with the first six, and managing to hit the flushing mechanism with her seventh. She then realises it would probably be best to switch to another strategy, and requests some water, which she then uses to wet some wads of toilet paper, to make them heavier (or 'more like a poo' as Greg observes). Several of the wet wads land right on the toilet seat. For her final throw, she stuffs the remaining small wad of toilet paper into one of the water bottles, and drops that, missing the toilet. Overall, she manages to get 80 sheets of toilet paper into the bowl, securing third place in the task.
