• David chose the letter Q. Rather than trying to find items beginning with Q (such as the quiches, quail's eggs, and Quavers that had been put in the kitchen just in case), David instead claimed that he pronounced and spelt a lot of words with a 'Q' at the start. He was only allowed 'Quoffee', which he claimed was what Americans called coffee.
• Ed's first response to being told to say a letter of the alphabet was to say "A letter of the alphabet." After being given the rephrased task, he chose the letter D. He tried to pass cups as 'drink receptacles' and the task brief as a 'dask', as well as putting other items like dinner plates, disposable gloves and his 'diabetes equipment'. If he had been allowed 'drink receptacles', he would have put 111 things on the tray, which still wouldn't have been sufficient to lift him out of fourth place.
• Jo chose the letter B. She spent most of her time gathering her items, then put them all on the tray in the last minute. She collected 136 things, including bananas, a bin, and her bag.
• Katy chose the letter B. She made multiple trips, returning every time she found something beginning with her letter. She managed to get 168 things on the tray, including biscuits, bananas, and birthday candles.
• Rose chose the letter P. She only put things on the tray that definitely started with the letter P, refusing to include newspaper as it began with an N, and discarding a pipe after deciding it was more of a tube. She put 306 things on the tray, including peas, petals, paper, and Pimm's.
