♪ (ragtime intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we're gonna do a challenge with you guys
that we've done in the past, and the elders have seemed to like.
- Oh, good. - I suck at games. (chuckles)
- (FBE) This is going to be a Try Not to Sing Along Challenge.
- I don't think I've done a Try Not to Sing Along before.
- I love singing along. - (FBE) So there is a twist
to this episode. - Yeah.
- (FBE) We recently asked all of you what your favorite songs are,
and we've included some of them in this challenge.
- Cool. - Damn.
Maybe you didn't get that email.
- (FBE) So if you get out, you could be blaming a fellow reactor
or even yourself. - You guys set us up. I knew it.
- (FBE) The rules are you can't sing, but you also can't dance
or move to the beat. So we aren't gonna X you out
of the video if you lose, but let's see how you do.
You ready to do this? - Oh, good. So when I lose,
I can just go ahead and go for it. (laughs)

that it would be so much fun to lose.
- (FBE) You didn't sing at all. Was it hard?
- Easy for me, because I focused. Just shows you my discipline, darling.
How do you think I keep my debutante figure?
- (FBE) So what did you think about the songs
that your fellow elders said were their favorites?
- Well, very interesting. Some I agreed with,
some not so much.
- Some of this stuff is really nice, and you haven't heard it in a while,
and you wanna sing.
- They got a beat, and they got rhythm.
And I thought they did a hell of a job.
- Oh, golly. They've got good taste.
Elders rock. Felt like I was 15 again.
