0:00:02 > 0:00:03# Officially, officially, officially...
0:00:03 > 0:00:05# Amazing! #
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Welcome to Officially Amazing - The Best Of The Bunker. Coming up...
0:00:11 > 0:00:15..a scintillatingly spinny cyr wheel record attempt.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20But first, the return of US Ray's trickiest tools in
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Officially Competitive -
0:00:22 > 0:00:24The Bunker Games.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Previously on Officially Competitive...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30On paper, it was as easy as a stroll in the park
0:00:30 > 0:00:33but the heel toe walk was a shambles.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Disqualified.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Disqualified.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Disqualified.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39That triple DQ sees
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Ray still topping the leaderboard
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and living the dream but that dream
0:00:43 > 0:00:45could turn into a nightmare
0:00:45 > 0:00:47because today's record is...
0:00:47 > 0:00:50most uncooked rice grains moved
0:00:50 > 0:00:53with chopsticks in 30 seconds.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Chopsticks?
0:00:54 > 0:00:55NO-O-O-O-O!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58They're Super Ray's kryptonite.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Ugh! Let's get the rules.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02The rice must be taken from one bowl
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and placed into a second bowl
0:01:04 > 0:01:06one grain at a time.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10The bowls must be a minimum of 50 centimetres apart
0:01:10 > 0:01:12and only one hand may be used.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And the record to beat is 22
0:01:15 > 0:01:18rice grains moved in 30 seconds.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22So, who do you think will win this sticky challenge?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Cherry's the favourite in the Bunker
0:01:24 > 0:01:27but 7% have loyally predicted
0:01:27 > 0:01:29victory for Ray, despite his
0:01:29 > 0:01:31chequered chopstick past.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- And he's up first.- Over to you, Shantha.- Ray, are you ready?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- No! - LAUGHTER
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Three, two, one, go!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Come on, Ray, silence the doubters.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Any time now, Ray.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51It's taken him seven seconds just to pick the chopsticks up!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55That's almost a quarter of the time gone already!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Oh, man, they're upside down!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Or is that deliberate?
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Well, that's one grain moved.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07He's having some trouble
0:02:07 > 0:02:11but could this maverick technique be the key to smashing this record?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And that's number two!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Just 20 more.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Five, four, three, two, one
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- stop!- Oh...
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Just two, then.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29By Ray's chopstick standards, that verged on the heroic.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Indeed, and his attempt at the end
0:02:31 > 0:02:33to waft an imaginary grain
0:02:33 > 0:02:35through the air into the bowl
0:02:35 > 0:02:36was a particular highlight.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Meanwhile, the Sizzler, who's twice held the one-minute
0:02:41 > 0:02:44version of this record, has chosen brown rice.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It's healthier, but is it faster?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50He's thinly spread a few dozen grains on his personal white
0:02:50 > 0:02:53saucer and his special glass bowl is in place.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Perfect, if protracted, preparation.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59But now, he is ready.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Go!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07That's the first one in.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11No panic here from Sizzle Bizzle. He's as cool as rice.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14That's two.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15And a third.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Oh, no!
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Ricey ruination as Steve's grain pings off the lip of the bowl
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and tumbles to the abyss below.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27How critical might that single grain be?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Well, it hasn't phased him.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Look at that laser-eyed focus on this tricky task.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Five, four, three, two, one,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43stop!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Oh! He sent that last one skittering across the tabletop.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50But he's still deposited enough rice grains to make at least half
0:03:50 > 0:03:52a teaspoon of rice pudding.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54And now to Cherry.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56He's gone for a mountain of black rice
0:03:56 > 0:03:59and a high sided personalised popcorn bucket.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02He's obviously taking this very seriously.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Japanese!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Chopsticks, chopsticks, chopsticks!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- BOTH:- Victory!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Come on! Thank you!
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Go!
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Just look at this manic pace!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Is Cherry on fast forward?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22No, but he's so fast the human eye can barely keep up.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24This is jaw-dropping speed.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Look at the explosion as his sticks strike at the heart of that
0:04:29 > 0:04:31huge mass of rice.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36If he moves that lot, he'll annihilate the record of 22.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I think this is tactical.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43When he digs in, he's almost guaranteed to grab a grain
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and he doesn't waste time chasing single ones round a plate...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49..Steve.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54But sometimes, he's snagging more than one at a time
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and those grains will not count.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Five, four, three, two, one,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- stop!- Well, that was fast.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10But just how precise was that movement of rice? Let's find out.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Official adjudicator Shantha, please tell me, do we have a record?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18No, we don't.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Sad news, but there's still that vital Officially Competitive
0:05:21 > 0:05:23point to play for.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26In third place with a total...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28..of two...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31..is Ray.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34The traditional celebration of last place from Team USA.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And in first place...
0:05:37 > 0:05:41..with a total of 15 valid grains is...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46..Mr Cherry!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48EXCITED CHEERING
0:05:48 > 0:05:54Mr Cherry wins, just as 67% of the Bumper Crew knew he would,
0:05:54 > 0:05:55his super speedy technique
0:05:55 > 0:05:57destroying Steve's score
0:05:57 > 0:05:59of eight grains and moving him to
0:05:59 > 0:06:01the top of the leaderboard with Ray.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Now, meet Alula.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Three of the world's leading cyr wheel artists.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15A cyr wheel is a steel ring which can spin gyroscopically.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19That means it can rotate and move in every possible direction,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23perfect for spectacular circus skills.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Today, the Alulas will attempt the world record for...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Which means spinning like this
0:06:35 > 0:06:38with all three of them in the wheel at once.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44Lil, Jess and Fiona, how hard is it to fit three of you in one wheel?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47It is hard, we've worked on various different ways of doing it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50We've found Jess in the splits works best for us.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52And when you say Jess in the splits...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56So, Jess is in the middle with her legs split like that.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Doing the splits?- Doing the splits.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- That's what you mean, doing the splits.- Actually doing the splits.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05And then me and Lil are kind of sandwiching her on either side
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and then we pull and push on each of our feet and get it spinning.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10How hard is it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's tough for Jess because she has to sit in over split.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Split for, like, a minute. - And then it's tough for us
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- because we have to just, we have to power on through.- Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20We've never done it for a minute before either
0:07:20 > 0:07:21so that's been a challenge.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Shhh!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Shush! Shhh!
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Well, there can be no cyr-ing without rule adhering.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33All three contestants must be holding the wheel
0:07:33 > 0:07:35with their hands and feet apart.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Only full 360 degree rotations will count.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41And should any contestant touch
0:07:41 > 0:07:43the floor, the attempt is over.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The world record target
0:07:45 > 0:07:47is 20 rotations in one minute.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53The Bunker Crew are casting their votes and 47% predict that
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Alula will spin their way to glory, but what do you think?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59In your own time.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05The attempt will start
0:08:05 > 0:08:08when the girls are up to speed with all three riding the wheel.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12KLAXON BLARES
0:08:12 > 0:08:15This is it, spincredible scenes.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- Oh!- No! They've crashed out after only four seconds!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Just three spins in and they completely lost momentum,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30leaving Fiona no choice but to abandon the attempt.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32They said they'd never done a full minute
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- but surely they can do more than that?- Let's find out, Haruka.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The Alula girls are getting straight back on the wheel.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45And they're off!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47This looks much better.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50A fluid rhythm and perfect pace.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52But can they maintain it for the full minute?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- 15 seconds.- This is amazing!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59This is such a hard record.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03They have to combine balance, power and teamwork,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06all while getting dreadfully dizzy.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10And let's not forget that Jess is doing all of that in the splits!
0:09:10 > 0:09:1230 seconds.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Halfway there!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Just listen to the Alulas driving each other on.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Keep it up.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Top triple teamwork.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- 45 seconds.- Come on, now, girls, last 15.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33They're really having to dig deep now. Just a few seconds left.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We've got it. We've got this.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Three, two, one, time!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Yes!- Yes!- Yes!
0:09:42 > 0:09:47They're all absolutely exhausted but they completed the full minute.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54Spectacular cyr soaring from the Alula ladies, but was it a record?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Official adjudicator Mark checks his Facebook.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00He's, um, reviewing the slow-mo footage, Ben.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02That makes more sense.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Time for the moment of truth.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05In order to achieve the record today, you needed
0:10:05 > 0:10:08a minimum of 20 valid rotations.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10In the minute, you achieved...
0:10:14 > 0:10:1861, which is a brand-new Guinness World Record title!
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Oh, look at that!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22EXCITED SCREAMING AND LAUGHTER
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I think they're happy with that!
0:10:25 > 0:10:2661!
0:10:26 > 0:10:31They didn't just break the record, they completely annihilated it!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Alula, ruler!
0:10:33 > 0:10:39Now, time to put someone into the gunge tank of doom.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42And today's audience member who will be making that gloopy choice
0:10:42 > 0:10:44is the mighty Hope.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45The record...
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Her victim?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Mr Cherry.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56The St-Rays need to land ten planes
0:10:56 > 0:10:58in the target in a minute to
0:10:58 > 0:10:59save Cherry.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02But Steve manages three and Ray a big fat zero,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06so Cherry gets a gunging.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Marvellous stuff. See you next time!
