The two were given random scenarios and had to strike poses that matched each prompt. Finding the game a breeze, they completed the challenge effortlessly. For the first scenario, the two competitors used summer hats as props and were asked to pose as models dealing with a gatecrasher during a fashion show. Both fully embodied their roles as they struck their poses—Barbie confidently worked the floor like a seasoned model, while her fan, Waynona, flashed a sweet smile. In the next round, they posed with bags in a dressing room scenario, showing off their OOTDs while playfully competing over who had the most stylish look. Barbie highlighted her sleek back as she flaunted the bag, while her opponent countered with a fierce expression. In the final round, badminton rackets were used as props, with the pair taking on the roles of sporty competitors. They were challenged to act as if they were playing the final point of a championship match, and both fully embraced their inner athletes—going head-to-head while serving face and treating the rackets like second nature.When the game ended, the two shared a hug, clearly enjoying the playful competition. Before wrapping up the segment, Barbie took on a bonus round where she was handed a crown and asked to pose like a true beauty queen. With the crown on her head, she waved as if she were Miss Universe, her visuals on point. Don&#x27;t miss Barbie Imperial in “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/blood-vs-duty" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blood vs Duty</a>,” streaming on <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant</a> starting April 4, and airing on ABS-CBN sa ALLTV2, A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, and Kapamilya Online Live (KOL) beginning April 6.
