Attempts
Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- Charlotte initially tried throwing water with a turkey baster at the sauna stones, before taping a cup of water to a ladder over the sauna stones. After attempting to outrun the water falling, she end up tying a rope around the cup, pulling it from behind the rope so the water would fall onto the sauna stones. She made the sauna stones hiss in 11 minutes and 40 seconds, receiving 4 points.
- Jamali balanced a water balloon on a rake over the sauna before taping several sticks to a knife. Whilst holding a frisbee of knives, he ended up bursting the water balloon, putting out the fire, so had to relight the sauna with matches. As the matches caused the sauna stones to hiss, Jamali ran behind the rope before it hissed again. He made the sauna stones hiss in 25 minutes and 30 seconds, receiving 1 point.
- Lee initially tried to shotput a bag of water at the saunas, before he began to tape several sticks together. Midway through, he decided to fill his helmet up with water and throw it over the sauna stones so water would fall on the sauna stones. He made the sauna stones hiss in 12 minutes and 30 seconds, receiving 2 points.
- Mike initially tried to 'luzz' a piece of wet cloth at the sauna stones, before starting to tape bamboo sticks together. He ended up throwing a stick with a piece of wet cloth at the sauna stones like a javelin, using an umbrella and ladder to ensure the cloth landed on the sauna stones. He made the sauna stones hiss in 11 minutes and 44 seconds, receiving 3 points.
- Sarah initially tried throwing ice at the sauna stones, before building a bridge over the sauna stones to balance the ice over it, so it would melt and drip water onto the sauna stones. She made the sauna stones hiss in 8 minutes and 2 seconds, receiving 5 points.
