Task briefs

The first task brief is presented to the contestants in their pigeonhole in the hallway. The second task brief is attached to a stanchion on the lawn, near the caravan. The briefs for the task are as follows:

Fail the next task in the most heartbreakingly spectacular way.

If you succeed in the next task you will lose 1 point.

Knock over all 10 skittles in 10 minutes.

The final skittle should fall exactly when the whistle sounds.

If any skittle is left standing after 10 minutes, you have failed.

You must stay behind the rope at all times.

Closest to 10 minutes wins.

Your time starts now.

An envelope in a wire container labelled 'Rosie' on a shelf.

Task notes

A large circular board featuring a red and cream spiral design has been laid on the lawn, with 10 bowling pins set up along the cream part of the spiral.
The contestants must attempt to fell the bowling pins from behind a red velvet rope, held between two stanchions.
The presentation of the first task brief is not revealed in the episode until three of the contestants’ failed attempts at the second part of the task have been shown.
