Okay, are you ready?

Right now, Christina and I are facing off.

Fifteen items, we don't know what they are yet.

Whoever collects all fifteen items first,

only getting them one at a time, wins.

[Male voice] Christina, how do you feel

about Claire as a competitor?

I feel terrible! Claire is so competitive.

I know, but that's why I just try not to compete.

So, when they make us compete, especially against friends,

it makes me very upset.

Meanwhile, I am not a naturally competitive person.

I can be motivated to do so, but, ya know.

[Man's Voice] What was the trickiest thing for you to find?

We're out of frozen fruit.

This is a blend of frozen fruits.

Playing cards, 'cause we don't have a normal set

of playing cards.

But you didn't specify that they needed to be

normal playing cards.

So I got some cards from Game of Thrones Risk.

Getting the single peppercorn out of my peppermill

was the single most annoying thing as a whole challenge

'cause I, it was hard to do one-handed.

I got into that.

Sometimes I get into stuff like that.

I feel like you were fast, man.

Real fast.

K, I love you, Andy, bye.

Okay, I love you. [blows kiss]

Okay, I guess I'm done.

[cymbal crash]

It was a scavenger hunt.
