Choice A: Twirl Time
At Bob Magic Music, teams must dress in traditional clothing and rehearse in a traditional performance of gnawa music, which they would perform back at Jemaa el-Fnaa. The gnawa performance involves one team member twirling their tassel on top of their hat by whirling their head while playing the krakebs, while the other plays the drums. Once at Jemaa el-Fnaa, the member twirling their tassel must maintain the beat through spinning their tassel consecutively under a minute in order for their team to receive their next clue from the band leader.
Amy & Maya, Kym & Alli, and Shelley & Nici chose this task.
Choice B: Tea Time
Teams must retrieve a set of Moroccan mint tea from Le Paradis du Thee, consisting of a tea pot, a sugar box, a green tea box, and a samovar, then deliver it to Palais Gharnata, where one team member must only use a single arm to balance the tray holding the cups, while the other must partake in the tradition of pouring the tea into two cups simultaneously by maintaining the two pots, each to a particular height.
