Attempts

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

  • Alice gave Greg a firm handshake, which he thought was Russell's, so she survived the first and only round of the game, and won the task.
  • Asim put his hand up his sleeve to try to disguise it, not thinking that his jacket sleeve might actually be more easy to identify. Greg correctly guessed his identity, so Asim was eliminated.
  • Liza gave Greg a very speedy handshake, but Greg correctly guessed her identity, so she was eliminated.
  • Russell tormented Greg by throwing his shoes loudly on the floor before shaking Greg's hand. Greg correctly guessed his identity, though, so Russell was eliminated.
  • Tim gave Greg a limp two-fingered handshake, but Greg correctly guessed his identity, so he was eliminated.
