Task notes
- The contestants are lined up side-by-side on stage, facing away from the audience. When they turn around on Tom Cashman’s command, they see that there is a large glass jar on the table in front of them, which has been taken from their dressing room.
- For most of the contestants, this jar contains the marshmallows they have not yet eaten. However, for Lloyd, the jar contains a variety of fresh fruit, because he had requested that the marshmallows be replaced with that.
- Although not shown in the episode, Tom Gleeson reportedly stated in the studio on the day that the fruit counted as marshmallows, for the purposes of the task.
- Also on the table, there are some wooden toothpicks to assist with the tower-building.
