On November 4^th 2017 the second series of the Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge kicked off in St. Lucia.  Distribution partner Peter & Company Distribution Ltd. executed the competition for three weeks across the island. Four teams participated in the first preliminary round held in the south of the island at Uptown Liquor Store, Vieux Fort. Teams gathered from 10:00 a.m. excited and eager to wash their way to the final round. With $5,000 at stake, teams were ready to show off their dishwashing skills and prove that they came to win! 

The first ‘wash-off’ was the most exciting and ended in a tie with both teams having seven clean plates.  This called for a rematch and the excitement of both the crowd and the participants heightened immensely.  Chris Peter and Maureen Auguste and Angel and Frances emerged on top of the first preliminary round and were elated to qualify for the finals to have a chance at winning the $5,000 grand prize. 

Fellow teams of Jackie and Trannie and Bernice and Vitus gave their best efforts to the competition, however, were not able to end with enough clean plates to outnumber Chris and Maureen.  At the end of the first round no team left empty handed as all participants received $100 shopping vouchers for Uptown Liquor Store, Vieux Fort.

Many onlookers were interested in the morning’s proceedings with many of them rushing to purchase their own bottles of Beep Dishwashing Liquid for a chance to enter the competition the following week.  To add even more interest to the promotion, all shoppers who purchased Beep Dishwashing Liquid in store during the competition, received a free gift with their purchase as well as a photo opportunity with members of the Beep team.

Jacky and Michelle stepped up to the Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge game sink at the start of the lightning round to battle against round 1’s Antoinette and Deidre.  Randy started the round off and as both teams readied themselves to give this round their all, Randy jumped in with a surprise.  The Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge special inspectors were invited to the game sink to bound the team mates together at the wrist and apply a Beep blindfold to 1 team member of each team’s choice. 

After the initial shock wore off of the contestants, they regrouped and gave everything they had to clean as many of the 100 plates as they could in 100 seconds.  Randy counted down with the audience to the final 10 seconds on the clock, “…3, 2, 1! Beep! Beep! Beep!”  As the team members stepped away from the game sink, the Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge special inspectors came to conduct their inspection. 

The teams’ final tallies for the day revealed that for the first time in the challenge series’ history, there was a tie! Both teams washed a grand total of 19 plates much to the delight of the crowd.  Randy then initiated the tie-breaker round and invited the teams to switch sinks to level the playing field for another chance at qualifying from this preliminary round to advance to the final at the Hanschell Inniss Sales Centre for a chance to win $5,000.  Antoinette and Deidre emerged victorious and qualified by washing 26 plates versus Jacky and Michelle’s 19 clean plates as they were not able to beat their previous score.

At the end of round 3, both of these teams received a $100 voucher for free groceries from Popular Discounts compliments of Hanschell Inniss Ltd. and McBride Caribbean Ltd. for participating in the first installment of the Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge series.
