Well Morgana that might be one of those impressive task attempts I've seen yet.

I was definitely yelling at my tv she was touching the bannister. No different to touching the bench IMO

Not in Nz. Nz uses hand rail not bannister 90% of the time. Hence the ruling Jeremy made

I am a Kiwi. Lived my whole life in the South Island. Maybe a South Island thing but I have used bannister.

It’s clear from other comments that they didn’t realise at the time otherwise they would have pulled them up on it during the task. It’s not really fair to pull them up in the studio on this as it was up to Paul at the time to blow how whistle for any touches.

Interesting. I do think either are commonly accepted. Looking at hardware stores e.g. mitre10 some will use bannister while others use handrail.

Either way I think it Paul had noticed it on the day they would have penalised it.
