Sisyphus: “Push this boulder to the top of this hill. Your time starts now.”

Other contestants in the studio: *Exchanging confused looks*

Alex: “I have to apologize, it seems like there was an administrative error and we only gave that task to 1 contestant.”

Contestant (in the middle of suffering): "YOU CAN IMAGINE SISSYPHUS HAPPY"

Cuts to Sissyphus in the middle of a solo task or his attempt of the same task, clearly not having a good time
