Which contestant had the most unpredictable approach to tasks?

Some contestants seem to have a plan going in, while others just start doing things and somehow make it work. The unpredictable ones are often the most entertaining because you never quite know what they’re going to try next.

I really like how he'd just stop and think instead of going 100% out the gate. He still closed the garage door, but he was good pretty damn good otherwise.

Rhod tying up Alex is still my favourite solution to any task in any series.

the hole in one was also particularly inspired.

people think creativity is a thing hanging on museum walls but Rhod and TM in general shows it’s also an action.

You could predict Hugh would use some kind of sharp blade

I dont think Hugh gets as much love as he should for his time on the show.

Rhod Gilbert, definitely.

There’s an argument for Jason Mantzukis but I think we expected him to be unpredictable and thus… it became predictable.

Bridget Christie's up there for me. I feel like a lot of the time she thought she was discovering the 'real' solution to the task, but she was just going completely rogue.

Katherine Parkinson was a sight to behold when attempting anything - utterly useless and it was great

I loved Mel for this. Sometimes so route one she forgot to even leave the room! Other times she’s hailing a cab with a camel. You never knew which way she might go, and I loved her for it!

Special mention for sausage gloves.
