Sporting a distinctive bowlcut, the Christchurch-raised Filipino quickly shows he has the potential to emulate the first series’ winner Angella Dravid, taking an offbeat, outside-the-box approach that will likely yield either top (or bottom) marks. The man who claims to have been on his learners’ licence for seven years even manages to turn one task into a driving lesson, much to the bemusement of Williams, especially when they only narrowly manage to avoid a car park prang. That’s just part of the mental torture Williams has to suffer throughout. As Wells points out, “my role as chief bullier is under threat”.
