Sophie dresses Alex as a pigeon again
Sophie’s response to Alex’s greeting of “One, two, three, four” is to continue the count with “Five, six, seven, eight.”
Sophie’s attempt begins on the stage, with her wearing a regal cape, a crown, a pink feather boa, and wig, and with Alex wearing a pigeon mask (again), a black feather boa, and a bridal gown and veil. They join together in the middle of the stage, performing high kicks and interpretive dance. Being partially blinded by the mask, Alex loses track of where Sophie is, so she repositions herself to help him.
They then both meet at the centre of the stage and prepare for the thumb war itself, with Sophie doing the count-off. However, the thumb war is cut short as Alex immediately pins down Sophie’s thumb, winning the thumb war. Sophie is shocked by this and asks Alex to let go, ending the game.
In the studio, Sophie states that she thought she had made some “high-end art”. Greg responds by questioning her choice to make Alex wear the pigeon mask. Sophie admits that she wasn’t fond of the thumb war itself, due to the speed of Alex’s victory. Greg agrees that the thumb war was “shit”, but Sophie argues that she has very small hands, referring to them as being “somewhere between an old man and a baby”, as well as “very small and weird”.
During scoring, Greg says that he has to take the quality of the thumb war itself into consideration, and then asks Sophie why he might be looking at her. She replies by predicting that Greg is going to give her “the bottom”, and she is indeed then awarded a single point, which she acknowledges as “reasonable”.
