Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Name a thing belonging to the category of things given by the Taskmaster.

Every time you manage to name a thing, drop a ball into the basket.

Only answers accepted by the Taskmaster will count.

The one with the most balls in their basket wins.

Task notes

The contestants are lined up on stage, side-by-side, each wearing a sleeping bag with a small hole cut into its front.
Each of their sleeping bags contains a number of plastic balls, and each contestant stands behind a basket.
This task appears to have taken inspiration from the ‘Pop objects out of your hole’ task, in terms of the physical set-up, but has then taken it in an entirely different direction, and is ultimately just a game of naming the most things in a given category (the sleeping bags and balls are essentially just a visual extra, and do not affect the gameplay).
When the contestants name a thing which is deemed not to belong to a category, hesitate for too long, or repeat something that has already been named, they are eliminated from participating in that particular round, but are allowed to rejoin the game in the following round. There are three rounds in total.
