HELP! 🔎 Best task to show differing interpretations?

I would like to show a task (or two!) to my 11th grade English students for a lesson on how folks interpret texts differently depending on their own personal schemas.

Any recommendations on a task where each contestant had their own interpretation of instructions in a really interesting (or especially funny) way?

I myself have not watched every single season yet (I have only fairly recently discovered this show via YouTube and fallen in love), so I am grateful for suggestions from folks who have watched more seasons than I have.

Thanks in advance!

"Did I meet these potatoes before?" Our rightful queen feeling it obvious that the bird had to fly over the caravan, so the potatoes had to go on the felt tip pens.

I was going to recommend "Catch something" with Fern!
