Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Paint a picture of a unicorn using your head brush.

You may not handle your head brush at any point.

You have two minutes.

Before the contestants go up on stage, Alex asks each of them to choose between 'inches' or 'feet'.
The contestants are then lined up on stage, each behind an easel, and wearing a helmet featuring ears, a ponytail, and a special unicorn horn paintbrush.
If they chose 'inches', they have a six inch horn; if they chose 'feet', they have a six foot horn.
Those with six foot brushes have to hold onto their ponytails in order to prevent their helmets tilting forwards under the weight of the brushes.
On each easel, there is a canvas, and a limited selection of paints (red, orange, green, and yellow).
When asked by Alex whether he wants them to paint a specific type of unicorn, Greg requests that the unicorns be 'prancing'.

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

Dara blindly chose the six inch head brush, and painted a picture of a recognisable unicorn prancing.
Fern blindly chose the six foot head brush, and painted what Greg described as "Two fences, a big orange and a pepper".
John blindly chose the six foot head brush, and painted four green lines and a big red line.
Munya blindly chose the six foot head brush, and painted an orange blob with long legs, which Greg described as a "long-legged lobster", this coining the episode title.
Sarah blindly chose the six inch head brush, and painted a unicorn that Greg said resembled "Troy's horse" (presumably referencing the Trojan Horse?).
