Task brief
The brief for the task is as follows:
Get the most weight on the seesaw without popping the balloon.
You must take turns placing an object from the table into the box on the seesaw.
Whoever has placed the most weight on the seesaw when the balloon pops wins.
If you pop the balloon, you’re out.
Task notes
- Unlike in other versions of this task, all of the available items to be added to the seesaw in this adaptation are different, and are not items of clothing worn by the contestants.
- The objects are mostly things that have featured in past Stormester episodes (many from this season), such as the barn from the ‘Build a sand bridge across the river’ task, the bottle from the ‘Put the banana in the bottle’ task, the radio-controlled car from the ‘Deliver the task to Mark in a superior way’ task (as well as Simon Jul’s attempt at the ‘Subtly deliver a five word instruction to Mark’ task, in season 6), and a small version of the bear from the ‘Get the teddy bear from start to finish’ task.
- Objects from other seasons which are also present include two inflatable rubber rings from season 2’s ‘Get your inflatable ring as high as possible’ task, the toy astronaut from season 2’s ‘Build the best launch pad’ task, the rabbit puppet from season 2’s ‘Make an action movie with a tortoise’ task, a beanbag from season 5’s ‘Stack your buckets so that they are taller than you’ task, and a small version of the zebra decorations present in the house in season 6.
