Everyone tries to say the same word

In the first round, the team members must attempt to both name the same fruit, and the team of three gets to go first. Emma says “apple”, and Babatunde attempts to join in with her halfway through, just saying “-ples”. Everyone spots this happening, though, so the round moves on to the other team. Jack and Rosie then both say “banana(s)” together, so they win the first round.

In the second round, the team of two gets to go first, and the category is ‘farmyard animals’. Jack and Rosie both say “cow” at the same time, so they also win the second round.

In the third round, the team of three gets to go first again, and the category is ‘European countries’. Andy and Babatunde both manage to say “France” at the same time, so they win the round.

The last couple of rounds of this task are heavily edited down, and must have gone on for quite some time in the studio.

In the fourth round, the team of two gets to go first, and the category is ‘parts of the body’. Jack says “hand”, while Rosie says “foot”, so the round moves onto the other team. Emma says “finger” while Babatunde says “nose”, so the round moves back to the team of two. Jack then says “tongue” while Rosie says “boobs”, prompting Alex to say that he needs to go and sit down for a bit. The round passes back to the team of three again, and Emma says “shins” while Babatunde says “shoulder”, so play moves back to the team of two. Jack and Rosie then both miraculously decide to say “liver” together, winning the round (they must surely have already worked their way through several other more obvious internal organs before reaching this point, though).

In the fifth and final round, the category is ‘boring boys’ names’, and the team of three gets to go first. This round appears to drag on for the longest, and the names quickly become more and more unusual, as all of the truly ‘boring’ ones get used up early on. Andy says “Mark”, while Babatunde says “Alex”. Jack then says “Colin”, while Rosie says “Greg”. Andy says “Mike”, while Babatunde says “Graham”. Jack then says “Brian”, while Rosie says “Matthew”. Andy then says “Dave”, while Babatunde says “John”. Jack says “Wayne”, while Rosie says “James”. Andy says “Steve”, while Babatunde says “Jason”. Jack says “Carl”, while Rosie says “Adam”. Andy says “Jack”, while Babatunde says “Paul”. After Rosie assures Jack “We’ve got this”, and he responds “Do we?”, Jack says “Gilbert”, while Rosie says “Tim”. At this point, Babatunde admits that he’s run out of “white names”, and asks if he can tag in Emma to take over for him, which is permitted. We don’t see the team of three’s next pair of names, but instead see Jack saying “Dennis”, while Rosie says “Babatunde”. Andy then says “Ben”, while Emma says “Luke”. Jack says “Keith”, while Rosie says “Albert”. Andy says “Arthur”, while Emma says “Paul”. Jack then says “Malcolm”, while Rosie says “Derek”. At this point, Greg butts in to clarify whether they’re going to keep playing the round “for the rest of time”, prompting Alex to suggest that they make the round a sudden death round in which the team members must both say the name of any member of the cast (greatly increasing their odds of both picking the same one). The team of three gets to go first, and both Andy and Emma manage to say “Alex”, thus finally ending the round.

The team of three won two rounds of the game, and so earn 2 points each, while Jack and Rosie won three rounds, and therefore earn 3 points each.
