Task notes
- The contestants are lines up side-by-side on stage, each wearing overalls and standing next to an easel.
- On each easel, there is a canvas primed in grey, an artist’s palette, and some paints in primary colours, black and white.
- At the front of the stage, there is a bathtub full of a seemingly random assortment of objects, including a hula hoop, a teddy bear, a bunch of flowers, a pink cowboy hat, a garden gnome, a pool noodle, a tennis racket, an inflatable pool lounger, a fishing net, a feather duster, a walking cane, a rubber chicken, an umbrella, a mannequin’s leg, and a sink plunger.
- Before the task brief is read, Tom Cashman asks all of the contestants to choose one object from the bathtub.

Notes on task scores
- In addition to losing 2 points because Tom Gleeson could not identify what he’d painted, Josh loses an additional point for walking off the stage in protest, as Tom had previously warned the contestants that points would be deducted for any quitting.
