Attempts

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

  • David tried whipping the bin open with a rope as he threw balls at it, and failed to get anything into it.
  • Ed kicked the bottom out of the bin and turned it upside down so the lid was still shut. He then threw rocks and a golf ball at the bin from increasing distances. As Greg ruled that the bin was shut, Ed managed to get something in the bin from 12.4 metres.
  • Jo got the sound man to open the bin as she threw balls at it, getting something in from 2.6 metres.
  • Katy used a spade, and later a ladder, to operate the pedal as she threw a ball into the bin, managing to get something in from 1.4 metres.
  • Rose used a plank of wood to operate the pedal as she threw a ball into the bin from 2.45 metres.

Points

Notes on task scores

  • While Katy is observed to be awarded 2 points and Rose is observed to be awarded 3 points, the following scoreboard update shows that Katy has gained 3 points and Rose has gained 2 points. The final scores for the episode, and total points for the series, both reflect this discrepancy.
