Marie-Lyne channels Cirque du Soleil

Marie-Lyne immediately folds a box, starting her five minute timer.

She quickly stacks four boxes on top of one other, and then stands on top of the pile of unfolded boxes to give herself enough height to stack a fifth.

She then searches Antoine’s cabin and emerges with a step stool, which she places on top of the pile of unfolded boxes to give herself enough height to add a sixth box to her tower.

Seemingly unable to add more boxes to her tower, but wondering how it could be made taller, Marie-Lyne makes the decision to move the base of her tower from the ground to the pile of unfolded boxes. As she deconstructs her tower, she comments that she feels like she is in Cirque du Soleil (presumably referencing a box-stacking part of the act’s ECHO show).

Unfortunately, Marie-Lyne runs out of time while she is still in the midst of relocating her tower, resulting in a loss of two boxes from its height.

Marie-Lyne’s final tower is measured at 2.15 metres, and she earns fourth place.
