• Inês' handshake starts with a high five before she and Nuno link arms and skip around in a circle. More high fives, Inês blows Nuno’s whistle, and they bump hips before wiggling their butts and cheering. She earns 3 points for her handshake.
• Jessica invents a handshake that involves no contact. She and Nuno keep their hands just apart from each other and continually bend in a handshake motion for an entire minute (Vasco likens them to two lucky cat sculptures that constantly wave a paw). At some point during their handshake, the trousers fall off of the practice mannequin. They also do contact-free cheek kissing. In the studio, Jessica justifies her handshake by explaining that too often, people greet and then immediately leave; this way, they are forced to speak with each other for at least a minute. She earns 3 points for her handshake.
• Carla’s handshake starts with a high five and a shoulder touch before moving to a few foot taps, jumping up and down, and ending with a cheer and a hug. She earns 3 points for her handshake.
• Gilmário’s handshake is a choreographed series of hand and foot slaps, ending with himself and Nuno holding their arms out in celebration. In the studio, Gilmário describes his handshake as being a mixture between “Viking and the ‘hood”. He earns 3 points for his handshake.
• When introducing Toy’s handshake, Nuno says that it felt close to boot camp. He’s not wrong. Toy’s handshake starts with the two of them doing twenty push-ups, high-fiving each other after every fifth push-up. Toy squeezes Nuno’s fingers afterwards, and the handshake is complete. Toy gets 1 point for the handshake, and a bonus point for making Nuno exercise.
