It was obvious if you ignore the red herring, ie the backswing.

You're a better man than I, I didn't have a clue, whether I'd know better in the flesh I don't know but from video I really didn't know but would not have guessed the lowest.

I picked the right one but I’ve seen plus golfers before that don’t have a pretty swing but can really play golf.
Best swing I’ve ever seen was from a 7 handicap

To be honest none of them looked close, I picked the 8, but it just goes to show the main thing that matters is off camera, 100 yards and in

I thought I got it right but then I realised they played the videos in a different order the second time. 
I thought it was 'golfer 5' who turned out to be off 16! Didn't look to be much wrong with his swing. The guy who was the scratch player, I thought his hip turn was a bit late which made it look a little odd.
It does go to show, you have all these people trying to teach you the perfect swing, yet you also have so many getting it round in scratch with the worst swings. I saw a video on Golf Supply YouTube channel, this guy has the strongest grip you've ever seen, his right hand is underneath the grip, and he grips down an inch or two on driver, looks like he's hitting hooks constantly, but he's a scratch player apparently. Crazy game.

Probably a scratch golfer at a pitch and putt course.
Even with WHS, there is still a massive discrepency in the level of skill required to maintain handicap depending on the course.

Got it right - he look most 'connected' in delivering the clubhead back to the ball.
Takes all sorts of swings, look at Jim Furyk, or Rahm, both have unorthodox swings. I have played a few times with a guy thats of +1 under the old system and is +3 now. really flat and slingy. but can he get the ball round a golf course. played with him in a open at Golspie a few years ago, level par in horrendous conditions, chucking with rain and at least 40MPH wind. no one else broke 80. level par...made it look easy
