I think it probably goes:
1. Are you a bubbly out-going person?
2. Do you want to be on a TV show?
Oh yes, we nearly forgot:
3. Do you do woodworking?

The one they actually fired, I suppose must have thought she was making a raised bed to grow veg in rather than a sleep platform. Not sure how she managed to spend 2 days on that.

Usual bunch of individuals selected to ensure that every conceivable group is represented in some way, and if a few of them recognise a piece of wood when they see it, then so much the better. Having said that, the brief and expectation was pretty impossible too. This week build a bed of your dreams, at least 2m high, in 18 hours, including all finishing. A couple of guys made a passable fist of it, although the one who used wedged through tenons explaining that it would enable him to knock it down for transport was, I think, missing the point of wedged through tenons...
