it's not about what you know; it's about what you can do.

This week in the garage, some faces you might recognise,

and we have pushed the budget just a little bit.

We've got some music and a countdown timer.

Today, we are playing Above Average, and playing it with me are:

And I would ask you how you all know each other, but to be honest, I know you.

Let's be honest. I've brought some friends in for this one.

They spent a week, two weeks, five weeks in my basement.

Do you want to give context to that, or do you want to leave that as is?

week in the basement, then it became five weeks.

I think it'll be six by the time we're done.

-Yeah. -What are you doing in your basement?

We need no natural light and we need something exactly like this room, so...

I was going to say, this is familiar territory for you then.

So like things on a table being moved about?

Which is kind of the games we're doing here today.

You guys have been inadvertently practicing.

You've been training us, the last five weeks have led up to this.

Who's been actually filming the video, because you...?

You guys have been animating, I've occasionally been clicking.

Right. And telling us we've been over budget.

Yeah, but mainly just, you know, telling them off for not moving things.

You're gonna have three games today, plus a final.

Every one of those games that you are above average in,

And the final is hopefully where you're gonna win some money.

And Above Average means you are beating the average

of the seven people that you're playing against today.

Lucy Bella Earl, from English with Lucy, English teacher, obviously.

Hannah Witton, sex educator, vlogger, author,

a whole load of other things that I couldn't fit in that caption.

In his motorised armchair, Colin Furze, inventor in his shed.

She's our beauty expert and a load of other things besides.

If you're wondering why he's not waving at you, it's because I forgot to ask him to on camera.

And happily waving at you, is Barry Lewis, chef.

Colin Furze, I think, is just going to like invent something in those sixty seconds

-And Saf is going to be interesting. -Yeah.

I don't know; I don't know how much he knows about the technology he reviews,

but if he knows anything then I think that's gonna be... gonna be difficult.

Alright, let me show you what your first game is.

Hold as many pencils as you can in one hand.

I feel quite lucky that I have freakishly long fingers, so this might come in handy.

People haven't thought about it this much, have they? Erm...

You can use anything you like to get the pencils into your hand

but at the end of the minute, they must be held off the table using just one hand.

No other objects, no other parts of your body.

Pencils are counted at the end of the minute.

I just wish that I'd brought a Mickey Mouse glove with me,

or one of them like big Incredible Hulk hands. I'm like, urr...

Look, there's two up there in the cupboard but they're the same make.

Spoiler: Colin did not have an advantage.

the first decision of the show for you folks,

is who is going to be up there playing game one?

Game one is worth one point, game two is going to be worth two

and game three is going to be worth three.

He can like almost crush my fingers with your fingers.
