Attempts

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

  • Christian tips the hoop down to rest on the edge of the table, aiming to just kick it in, but the ball rolls off. He fetches a shovel to pick the ball back up off the ground, and drops it into the hoop using that after just 39.07 seconds, placing second overall.
  • Lina finds a fishing net and uses that to pick up the ball and drop it into the hoop after just 34.07 seconds, winning the task.
  • Ruben starts off my picking up the table on which the ball is resting, and tries to use that to project the ball into the net. After struggling to get enough height, he instead uses a traffic cone to lift the ball and drop it into the net after 6 minutes and 26 seconds, placing last.
  • Julie initially asks Mark to help her lift the table the ball is on, but the ball rolls off. She tries and fails to use a shovel to put the ball in the net before asking Mark to do it for her (which he does). Her time is not stated, but she places fourth in the task.
  • Nikolaj uses a snow shovel and a garden shovel to pick the ball up, and uses the table to give himself some extra height. He manages to drop the ball into the net from the snow shovel. His time is not stated, but he places third overall.
