Task brief
The brief for the task is as follows:
Defeat the other team in a game of ‘sling a satsuma’.
Your satsumas should be fired from your side of the field over the wall, with the goal of hitting the other team.
The bodies of the opposing team should be lying stock-still in the other half of the field.
A team member who has been hit must shout, ‘I’ve been satsuma’d!’
The team that eliminates the other team with the least amount of satsumas wins.
Your time starts on David’s signal.
Task notes
- A partition screen has been erected on the stage, with a large box drawn out on the floor one side, and a smaller box drawn on the floor on the other side, from where the team playing offence must throw their satsumas.
- All members of the team playing in defence lie down within the larger box until the team playing offence manage to hit all of them with their multiple satsumas, at which point they swap roles.
- After all members of both teams have been hit, the number of satsumas used is counted, and the winning team is the one who used the least satsumas.
- The phrasing used in the original Swedish task brief is 'sula en satsuma', with 'sula' (normally meaning 'sole') being a slang term for throwing.
- For this task, the additional team member enlisted to even out the team numbers is Hakim El-Itabi Bomberg, the cyclist who appeared in Mauri’s attempt at the ‘Make the watermelon end up furthest from David’ task, earlier in the episode.
