Christmas Eve Minute-to-Win-It

Image
M&M Straw Suck:
Move the M&M from cup to cup by sucking it to the bottom of a straw. Most M&M's in the cup in 1 minute wins. Rob shows us how it's done.

Image

Image

Cy is impressed with himself as usual...
Image

Check out Cy's distraction tactics
Image

Image

Image

Image

Getty and MK went to a tie break
Image

Image

And then another tie break, where we moved one cup farther into the kitchen...
Image

MK feeling confident
Image

Image

Image

Distraction tactic: Pouncing Cat

Image

Image

Worked! Getty's so happy with Cy about now...
Image

Winner, Round 1: Getty


Image

Defy gravity: 
Keep three balloons in the air as long as possible. Longest time wins. Rob's embarrassed about his 10-second time, which turned out to be hard to beat.

Image

Image

Image

Image
... but Getty found a way

Image

Winner, Round 2: Getty

Cookie Face: 
Move the Oreo from your forehead to your mouth with no hands. Fastest time wins.
Image
MK's time was impressive

Image

Image

Cy beat MK thanks to his extra long tongue...
Image

Image
Granny gets an A for effort, but her minute expired.
Image
Grandpa Doug, on the other hand, introduced us all to a revolutionary tactic: launching the cookie from his forehead into the air and catching it in his mouth. Genius.
Image

New game plan... Getty sizing things up for his turn
Image

Image

Winner, Round 3: Getty


Junk in the Trunk: 
Bounce all the ping pong balls out of a Kleenex box strapped to your back. No hands. No lying down. Fastest time wins.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Getty did 3 standing back flips

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Mia's ponytail didn't survive...
Image

Winner, Round 3: Getty

Pong Tac Toe: 
Bounce three balls of the same color into a row. Fastest time wins. 
Image
We placed the grid just out of the player's arm reach to make a fair distance for everyone.
Image

Image
Mia did it in 5 seconds.
Image
...but was disqualified on a technicality.
So she tried again...
Image
 And did it in 5 seconds
Image


MK struggled
Image

Image

Winner, Round 4: Not Getty. 
Mia!

Image
Cold Hard Cash Prizes (cash frozen in containers of ice)

1st place: Take one guess...
2nd place: MK
3rd place: Mia
4th place: Cy
5th place: Cam (who did not want any "handicaps")



See you guys at 7:30 a.m. Christmas morning!
