Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • David struggled to get the melon back on the slide after it fell off. In the end, he smashed the breadsticks against it with a mallet, then smashed the watermelon up.
  • Ed managed to manoeuvre the watermelon back onto the slide with breadsticks, before pushing the melon up the slide with 15 breadsticks. He was the only one to complete the task.
  • Jo glued breadsticks to a rubber glove she was wearing to push the watermelon, but Greg decided that the glue also touched the watermelon, and she was disqualified from the task.
  • Katy gaffer-taped breadsticks to a rubber glove, which she used to push the watermelon up the slide. She was disqualified from the task but, as she used only 6 breadsticks, she received 1 bonus point.
  • Rose struggled to get the watermelon up the slide, eventually sliding it up, but kept using her hands to put the melon back on the slide. Despite completing the task in 11 minute and 4 seconds, she was disqualified.
