Virginie pies herself


After reading the task brief, Virginie arms herself with a few of the pies and one of the cans of shaving foam, starting to head outside. However, she then doubles back to check with Antoine that Marcel is a person, and not “a little dog or cat who didn’t ask for any of this”, or even a child.
After learning that Marcel is an air-dancer, Virginie goes to the shed in search of something that will assist her, emerging with a long cardboard tube.
She balances one of her pies on the top of the tube, and carefully starts to walk over to Marcel with it held up in the air. However, the pie then falls off of the end of the tube and lands directly on Virginie’s face, albeit plate-side down, narrowly avoiding a messy disaster. This apparently counts as a missed throw, so Virginie is forced to take a dance break.
When her dance break has finished, Virginie runs back into the house and emerges with a roll of duct tape, using it to secure the pie to the end of her cardboard tube. Thus armed, Virginie is able to thrust the pie into Marcel’s face with relative ease. She and Antoine then dance like Marcel, in celebration.
With a time of just 2 minutes and 28 seconds, Virginie wins the task.
