Task notes
- The contestants are lined up at the back of the stage.
- Tom Cashman stands to the left of the stage, next to a large black board, and a circular red paddling pool (within which there is, of course, a rubber duck).
- Hanging on the board are 14 large circular paddles, each of which has a method of appeal written upon it, including: "Desperately beg"; "In song"; "In a foreign language"; "Casually mention"; "Seductively"; "Passionately plea using words starting with P"; "Puppy dog eyes"; "Degrade yourself"; "In character as the Taskmaster's wife"; Silently suggest"; "Politely ask"; "Firmly demand"; "Cool calm and collected"; and "Making a promise you must then keep".
