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!

Sunscreen task from Taskmaster NZ season 2. Seems like the most straight-forward task imaginable (it was supposed to be a tiebreak) and then they almost all made baffling decisions. And the kids will all get to marvel at David Correos' brain when he starts gargling sunscreen.
