• Gilmário puts one foot on the scale, leaning to displace more of his weight to bring the number up, but quickly overloads the scale. Gilmário puts his shoes on the scale to help him figure out the weight conversion, then enlists the help of a woman from the crew to put her foot on the scale alongside him as they both displace a smaller amount of their collective weight on the scale. This gets Gilmário around the correct weight, but he has trouble keeping the number steady for the required time. Eventually, Gilmário puts a heavy statue, a large clock, his shoes, and a large bag of salt on the scale, scooping out and adding salt as needed to get the weight down to 70lbs. Gilmário completes the task in 13 minutes 21 seconds and earns last place.
• Having no idea how much 70lbs is, Jessica sources some light items from around the house. Realising the items she brought are much too light, Jessica steps on the scale, but quickly overloads it. She gets a heavy statue from somewhere in the house, which helps her reach half the required weight. Jessica starts adding more random items from around the house to the scale. She eventually successfully adds the right combination of random items to make the scale read 70lbs. Jessica completes the task in 8 minutes 21 seconds and earns third place.
• Toy sources a bowling ball and a clock, which he estimates will weigh about 20lb; he is absolutely correct. He then sources what appears to be a rice cooker, some kitchen utensils and a few decorative weights – the combination of which puts Toy at just over 70lbs. Toy bites into a wooden stirring spoon to break the spoon part of it in half, then breaks the handle of it in half, and adds two of the broken bits onto the scale. This brings Toy’s weight to 70lbs. Toy completes the task in 6 minutes 55 seconds, and earns first place.
• Fernando brings in a few heavy items and finds out they weigh just under 20lbs. He leaves the room and comes back with a mini fridge, presumably from his dressing room. Fernando begins adding what appear to be walnuts to a box on top of the mini fridge to increase the scale weight in small increments, and eventually hits 70lbs. Fernando completes the task in 7 minutes 21 seconds and earns second place.
• Inês initially misunderstands the task, and believes that the scale needs to read 0.70lbs. She uses Nuno’s clipboard, glasses, and stopwatch, along with the task and a few of her rings, to get the scale to 0.70lbs. She enlists a few members of production to carry some heavy items in for her, the heaviest of which is an old microwave. Inês once again uses Nuno’s glasses to help make the weight, and when her items take her over 70lbs, she refuses to return Nuno’s glasses, instead opting to remove what appear to be walnuts one by one from the scale until she reaches the goal weight. Inês completes the task in 9 minutes 1 second and earns fourth place.
