Attempts
Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- Frankie initially tried dropping a bucket of water into the glass from the roof, before instead throwing the glass into a bathtub of soapy water. Despite achieving a distance of 5.4 metres, Frankie received zero points because his glass broke.
- Ivo set up an elaborate system to pull a cup of water into the glass with a string, but he didn't put enough water into the cup to actually fill it. Despite being 18.3 metres away, he failed to fill the glass to the line, so received zero points.
- Jenny initally set up a series of tubes solid metal poles to the glass, before moving the glass to the end of the just the tubes (presumably having realised that the poles were solid). After filling the glass once, Jenny then set up a water balloon over the top of the glass, and then popped it from a distance with a dart. She filled the glass from 3.8 metres away, receiving 4 points.
- Kiell decided that nobody else was going to use the hose, after doing impressions of all of the other contestants. However, instead of making the hose as long as possible and putting the end in the glass before turning on the tap, Kiell just aimed the spray from the hose at the glass from 8.5 metres away. He failed to fill the glass, so received zero points.
- Mae initially tried throwing a jug of water down the driveway, before setting up a series of tubes to the glass. They filled the glass from 8.1 metres away, receiving 5 points.
