Day 26: Whose got the power? – BBMzansi

The answer is candy! Welcome to this week's Friday Night Games, Candy Power.
a celebration

This game tested the Housemates speed, hand-eye coordination, and short-term memory. 

The rules remain pretty standard week in and week out with a few minor changes. There are always arrows on the floor that help to guide the Housemates with clear markings of ‘start’ and ‘finish’. This week Biggie reintroduced the disqualification on top of the 30-second penalty.  

The allocation of five minutes that the Housemates had been getting each week also changed this week  The Housemates had seven minutes to complete the course this week. Did this mean it would be harder? We also wondered. The person with the lowest time would be crowned the winner. 

The winner for this week's winner has the chance of winning R10 000 from the sponsor, LottoStar. This week the Housemates had a lot more to gain than the storeroom being opened and you could tell they were focused. 

The game would start at the sound of the buzzer. 

Challenges 

Marshmallow throw - There were two jars filled with marshmallows and the Housemates could pick from any of the two and they had to try and put at least one marshmallow in any of the nine cups on the table. 

Balance the cupcake - The Housemates had to take two cupcakes on each hand and put one on top of the other and balance over the plank and make sure that they don’t fall, if they did fall they’d have to start again. 

Candy Olympics - There were five different sweets in five different bowls and a bow with straws. The sweets would then be placed on the table across from the bowls. They would then have to blow sweets off of the table and they had to dispose of the straw and each Housemate would have to use a new straw for their round.

Heart Sushi - There was one bowl with five heart-shaped sweets and another bowl that was empty. The Housemates had to use chopsticks to move the sweets from one bowl to another and if one fell they would have to start from scratch. 

Assemble the table 
There were balls with numbers on them.  The buckets were numbered, one, two, and three. The number you get determines which puzzle you get, you take your bucket to the section and build your puzzle. Needless to say, this game really defeated a lot of the Housemates. 

The winner this week was Sis Tamara, making them a two-time winner! They finished with a time of 03:26.
