Episode 6: Masketi
Episode synopsis
In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most slippery thing they own, record the highest number of steps on a pedometer, remove a napkin from underneath a pile of eggs, do something that looks spectacular in slow-motion, and strike a drum after exactly 9.58 seconds. Also, one lucky contestant is assigned the extra task of counting the number of individual grains in a bag of rice.
Title context
For his prize task submission, Kevin Raphaël brings in a bottle of Haitian castor oil called ‘Masketi’ (the plant itself is called ‘maskriti’), claiming that it can cure any physical ailment. Masketi becomes a running joke throughout the episode, either as a rallying cry, or as something to be used when anything is damaged (like a prop, or Kevin’s ego). The contestants, Louis, and Antoine even rub it on their hands as the credits roll.
Assistant Intro
Let me introduce you to my assistant. I love him more than I love my pet, because he is done shedding: Antoine Vezina!
Note: Louis subsequently feeds a dog treat to Antoine. When Tammy complains that she’ll have to kiss Antoine later, Louis offers one to her as well, but Antoine snatches that one up, too.
