Jessica tries to reach the microwave in the fewest steps
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Jessica interprets the task as being just the fewest number of steps. She takes long running steps the entire distance to the microwave, counting each as she goes. She miscounts, going from 29 to 40, and does not notice as she carries on. Jessica takes a total of 36 steps and earns last place.
