Pamela’s shocking mime

For the first category of ‘celebrations’, Pamela is required to mime ‘a birthday’. She uses her fingers to draw a large circle in front of her, topping it off with a few straight lines (representing candles on top of the cake she has just drawn), before blowing at the space where she has just drawn. Jaakko guesses correctly.

For the second category of ‘days of the week’, Pamela is required to mime ‘Sunday’. She mimes sleeping, before holding up seven of her fingers to indicate the day’s position in the week, and miming sleep again. Jaakko chides Pamela that she should have done something different to represent the day, but guesses correctly anyway.

For the final category of ‘colours’, Pamela is required to mime the colour ‘brown’. Without hesitation, Pamela reaches behind her body and mimes pulling something out of her behind, holding it in front of her body, and pointing at it with an apologetic look towards Jaakko. Pilvi is shocked by Pamela’s decision, and Erkku and Joonas both join in on the mime, with Erkku attempting to get a closer look, and Joonas fanning at Pamela’s offering with his card to keep the ‘smell’ away. Jaakko guesses correctly.

As Jaakko was able to correctly guess all of Pamela’s mimes, she earns joint first place.
