Task briefs

The actual text of the task briefs is not known. The text below is paraphrased based on information disclosed in the episode:

You have one minute to set your table in the most beautiful way.

There are things you can use behind you.

Most beautiful table in one minute gets a bonus point.

Your time starts now.

Remove the tablecloth from the table.

Every item that is left on the table earns points, according to difficulty.

The most points left on the table when the cloth is gone wins.

You are only allowed to touch the tablecloth.

Task notes

The contestants are lined up on stage behind small, circular tables, which are covered in tablecloths.
Behind them, on a set of longer, rectangular tables, there are a variety of items for setting their own tables, including: candelabras, vases, ceramic figurines, plates, saucers, jugs, carafes, glasses, and cutlery.
The items on the table are placed within marked divisions, each of which has a placeholder card with a number on it (facing towards the back of the stage), indicating the number of points scored for each of the items found there.
It appears that the ‘bonus point’ referred to in the first part of the task is an in-task point only, not a bonus point to be added to the contestant’s episode score.
