Inês CB tries to sneeze

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Immediately after reading the task, Inês performs a clearly fake sneeze. When Nuno informs her that he wasn’t even able to start the clock, she tells him to start it, counts out two seconds, and lets out another obviously fake sneeze. After a debate in the studio as to whether her attempt should be valid, Inês CB admits that it was the first task that she filmed, and she was not aware that it was meant to be taken (somewhat) seriously; that she was just told to try to be funny while filming, and that she didn’t mind if she lost this one. Interestingly, she could have argued that the task did not dictate that the sneeze needed to be legitimate, but she does not even try – instead, her initial argument was that her fake sneezes were real. Vasco awards her fifth place instead of outright disqualifying her.
