Rachael's "Minute to Win It" Challenge

Aired on: March 9, 2011

Every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. viewers across America are glued to Minute to Win It to see if contestants can beat a series of 60-second challenges in their quest to win one million dollars. But coming up with those games can be a challenge itself, explains supervising producer Heath Luman. "Every show is a little different," he tells Rachael. "The big criteria is: Is it a household object? Is it household enough that you could go to your cabinet during a commercial break and play it during a commercial? And it needs to have a 'wow' factor - are we using the item in a way that you wouldn’t normally use the item? It’s something you might come in contact with every day, but wow, I didn’t know it could do that!"

Heath brings three everyday items - a spatula, marshmallows and a plastic cup - and gives Rachael her own Minute to Win It challenge! Watch the video above to see if Rachael can beat the "The Spatulaunch" for a chance to win La Mer Collections watches for the audience!
