Task briefs

The task brief is laid on a plinth at one end of a section of the Dog Leg tunnel on Cockatoo Island. The briefs for the task are as follows:

To everyone except Tommy:

Sneak the sticky-taped balloon along the tunnel to Tom.

The lights will turn off for five seconds every eight seconds.

If Tom sees the balloon when the lights are on, you must start again.

Whenever the lights come on, you must wave at Tom with both hands.

If the balloon pops, you will be disqualified.

Fastest to get the balloon to Tom wins.

Your time starts now.

Task notes

  • Also on the plinth, there is an inflated red balloon which presumably has some double-sided sticky tape on it.
  • Tom Cashman is stood at the other end of the section of the tunnel.
  • A member of the production team is for some reason stationed between two columns along the side of the tunnel, which surprises at least a couple of the contestants.
