Pamela hoovers up the popcorn

After initially confusing what she cannot hurt and move (believing that she is not allowed to hurt the popcorn), Pamela re-reads the task brief for clarification, and realises that while it forbids moving the popcorn bowl, it does not expressly forbid moving the popcorn itself.

Pamela initially begins by picking up pieces of popcorn and transferring them into a cooking pot. When she realises that this approach is too slow for her remaining time, she asks the nearby crew if there is a vacuum cleaner on the property that she could use.

Pamela quickly vacuums up the rest of the popcorn before unplugging the vacuum cleaner, and then takes the cooking pot of popcorn away (it is not known what she does with it).

When Pilvi arrives, she quickly notices the empty popcorn bucket, then asks Pamela if she had vacuumed up all of the popcorn. Pamela feigns ignorance, but is exposed by the fact that she had left the vacuum cleaner out in plain sight, instead of attempting to hide the evidence.

Pilvi says that she wishes to inspect the vacuum, but Pamela quickly picks it up and leaves the house with it, with Pilvi hot on her heels.

Despite Pamela attempting to tell Pilvi that eating the popcorn from the vacuum cleaner would be unsanitary, Pilvi is relentless, and the two women wrestle over the bag, which eventually tears in half.

Pilvi then picks up a piece of popcorn from the ground and eats it after 3 minutes and 10 seconds.

Pamela earns third place, but also successfully petitions Jaakko for a bonus point for her idea of using the vacuum cleaner.
