Peg and Cat are on a game show where the judges must give a total score of 10. The mermaid goes first and sings a great song about gold and pointy objects. Roxanne gives her an 8 but the Grumpy Grouchy Bear gives her a 0. He is being unfair and is not judging correctly.

- (laughing): Oh Cat,you'll be great!
- The rules for The Perfect Ten are, after a performer sings, each judge awards a certain number of stars.
The total number of stars has to add up to a perfect ten, so no one's feelings get hurt.
Got it?
- Oh yes!
- Grrr!
- Today's songs are all about attributes.
Things like color, shape, or size that you can use to describe something.
First up: the Mermaid!

Let's see if our judges think it was good as gold!
Roxanne?
- You adore your golden pointy pyramid.
And I too love the solid shapes, so I give you eight!
- Eight stars from Roxanne!
Grumpy Grouchy Bear, how many stars would you like to give Mermaid?
- Grrr.
- Zero?!
But 8 plus 0 is only 8!
- I didn't get ten points because Grumpy Grouchy Bear gave me zero!
- The Grumpy Grouchy Bear is really grumpy.
- Grouchy too.
- Names can tell you so much.
- (gasping): He'll give everybody low scores and no one will get a perfect ten!
We've got a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
- Uh huh.
I'm listening.
- That's it, you snack- loving cat!
I bet some fruit would cheer him up, so he'll give more stars!
- Excuse me, Mr. Grumpy Grouchy Bear.
We thought you might like some fruit.
- Grrr.
Grrr!
- Make that two stars from the Grumpy Grouchy Bear!
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 stars... Plus 1, 2 more stars, equals 10!
- Congratulations, Mermaid!
You got a perfect 10!
