Marie-Lyne relies on tickles

Antoine’s starting heart rate for Marie-Lyne’s attempt is 70 BPM.

Marie-Lyne stands and talks to Antoine for a while, admitting that she doesn’t know what to do.

She rallies after a bit, and starts to tickle Antoine.

Eventually, she has him get out of the chair and chases him around the room, tickling him whenever she can, and attempting to wrestle control of the heart rate monitor from him.

Marie-Lyne manages to raise Antoine’s heart rate to 80 BPM, and asks Antoine if people on the internet will write in complaining that she’d assaulted him.

Marie-Lyne increases Antoine’s heart rate (“and nightmares”) by 10 BPM, and earns fourth place.
