Olga re-rolls

Olga initially rolls a 6, meaning that she must use the hose. She looks at the hose and laughs, declaring that it won’t work.

She then re-reads the task brief, and realises that she can just roll the die again for a better result. After several more rolls, Olga manages to roll a 1, allowing her to use the bellows.

Olga’s approach to her drawing is to make many small holes in the sand to create her picture, rather than attempting to render solid lines in the sand.

Eventually, Pilvi comments that Olga’s drawing (in retrospect, mostly the hair) resembles the Finnish Schlager singer Anita Hirvonen, but points out that she’s never been on the show.

Olga continues her entire drawing with the bellows, even though she appears to have some difficulty with it. Although she had figured out that she could roll the die more than once, she is presumably working under the logic that once a tool has been selected, it cannot be changed.

In the studio, Jaakko recognises that Olga’s drawing is of a woman, and guesses that Olga has drawn season 4 contestant Pirjo Heikkilä. Unfortunately for Olga, it turns out that Jaakko has guessed the correct season, but the wrong contestant, and that Olga had actually drawn Eija Vilpas. Upon this revelation, everyone – including Pilvi and Jaakko – agree that Olga’s drawing does look like Eija, in retrospect (especially the hair).

Jaakko ultimately awards everyone 5 points, as he believes the task was particularly difficult. However, he also awards Olga a bonus point for “creatively stretching the rules” and figuring out that the die could be re-rolled.
