Attempts
Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- Daisy stacked the beer mats to make walls, with a hole for living space, and taped beer mats to make a roof.
- Johnny initially built a standard beermat house, but it ended up collapsing as he ran out of the room to the doorbell. As he missed the doorbell timing more than twice, he was disqualified from the task, despite begging Greg for a bonus point.
- Katherine got flustered by the doorbell, despite Alex telling her when she needed to run to the doorbell, and ended up pouring glue and beer mats on a model of a house before angrily throwing it on the floor. As she made more than two mistakes with the doorbell timing, she was disqualified from the task.
- Mawaan took the doorbell off the wall and into the living room, allowing him to build a lighthouse by stacking beer mats and attaching a light to a device that turned.
- Richard ended up stacking beermats around a model of a house, cutting his hand in the process and leaving blood on the doorbell.
