Attempts

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

  • James initially tried to scare Alex, before playing a game of tag with him, increasing his heart rate by 80.
  • Jessica initially tried to get Alex to imagine he was being attacked by a shark before making him do lots of exercise. She increased Alex's heart rate by 97.
  • Kerry offered to reenact her childbirth and then challenged Alex to a game of football. She increased Alex's heart rate by 43.
  • Phil gave Alex a coffee with 5 cubes of sugar before pretending to do martial arts in front of him, and showing him a YouTube video of 'near misses'. He actually decreased Alex's heart rate by 6.
  • Rhod stripped Alex, tied him to a chair, and forced him to drink coffee. He only increased Alex's heart rate by 11.
