Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must do the most different things in 100 seconds, squeeze orange juice into a vase using items they’ve unknowingly selected for the purpose, paint a triptych in just one second, extinguish a candle flame, record a mildly interesting podcast, get goosebumps, and multitask while remaining photogenic.

Title context

Gina Dirawi informs David that “I shaved my arms for this” (i.e. the show), during the ‘Get goosebumps’ task, indicating that he won’t be able to tell that she has goosebumps based on raised arm hair.
