Jillian was impressed because Kristie jumped off with no fear. Secondly, Bob took Fiona to an 8m climbing tree where she climbed it and then had to jump onto a bar 1m from where she was. She did this after a few minutes of Bob telling her that she will not fall. Thirdly, Jillian took Shane to a short abseiling wall. They didn't abseil, but run down it from the top to the bottom.
