This time, the country house hosts a military-style competition weekend. We meet identical twins Kelvin and Carl, who are the fastest "rock-paper-scissors" players in the north, and body builder and personal trainer Anita, who after a relationship break-up, made it her mission to become body-perfect. In this episode, Dr. Michael Mosley uncovers what makes us so competitive and explores the strategies we use to win. He analyzes our competitive bunch with the help of sports scientists, Dr. Greg White and Dr. Faye Didymus. How far will they go to come out on top?
