Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Anders builds his tower almost entirely out of whole potatoes. Near the end of the time, he adds a few potato slices on top for some extra height. Anders wins the task.
- Annika’s tower consists primarily of tater tots and fries smashed together. At some point, she adds a few whole potatoes as a base for a bit more height. She tries to add a single fry upright, but it falls off at the end. Annika earns fourth place.
- Jakob isn’t shown much during the task, but his end result shows a pile of whole potatoes with some fries and tater tots filling in the gaps. Jakob earns third place.
- Mahamad spends the majority of his time carefully stacking slices of potato on top of each other. However, when Annika quickly steps away at the end of the building time, it (at least, according to Mahamad) creates enough vibration on that part of the floor that his tower falls over. Mahamad earns last place.
- Neel makes a short base of whole potatoes, before adding potato slices on top to provide height. Neel earns second place.
