Task notes

The contestants are lined up side-by-side on stage, each standing behind a table and wearing safety goggles.
On each table, there is a bottle of champagne, an inflated red balloon, a can of soda, and a confetti cannon.
After each round of the game, any used items are replaced.
In the first round, Paul’s story goes as follows:
I was walking down the street when I felt a blast of wind shoot past me.
Boom! It set off a snap and hit me like some champagne.
I married a rat. Clang! Snap! Crack!
Launch confetti.
I felt like a balloon exploding.
Rapture and fracture.
It’s time for a soda.
In the second round, Paul’s story goes as follows:
It’s time for a soda.
Swoosh! Marry a rat.
Step on a snap. Explode!
When I blast confetti, I drink soda pop.
Snap the concrete and shoot the champagne.
Four, five, six ― I felt like a balloon exploding.
Rapture and fracture.
In the third round, Paul’s story goes as follows:
I shot a glance at a glass of champagne.
Boom! Confetti fills the sky.
I crack a smile and snap my fingers ― smack.
A balloon hits me.
This song is a bop.
The champagne pours and the soda flies.
Can you do the cancan? Yes I can.
In the fourth and final round, Paul’s story goes as follows:
Crash, bang!
I hit the bottle like a drum.
Do the balloon, open the can.
Give me confetti.
I want champagne now!
Blast! Boom!
