Eero and Pamela tag-team miming, while Heikki guesses
Heikki is chosen to write down the list of animals for his team. As he writes, Pamela encourages him to write down easy animals. His list of animals is as follows:
- Hevonen (horse)
- Pupu (bunny)
- Kissa (cat)
- Koira (dog)
- Lehmä (cow)
- Orava (squirrel)
- Lintu (bird)
- Apina (monkey)
- Sammakko (frog)
- Hiiri (mouse)
Eero and Pamela take turns miming the animals written by the other team, while Heikki is the nominated guesser.
Pamela hesitates when the list is revealed, but eventually drops to her hands and knees and lifts her leg to the side as though urinating, while panting “Jiji”. Heikki correctly guesses that she is a dog (‘koira’).
Eero licks the back of his hand while saying “Jiji”, and Heikki correctly identifies him as a cat (‘kissa’).
Pamela then flicks her hand in front of her mouth while hissing “Jiji”. When Heikki is unsure of her mime, Pamela gets down onto her stomach and continues with the same actions, leading Heikki to correctly guess that she is a snake (‘käärme’).
Eero then hunches over and starts pulling at something growing out of his chest while saying “Kkk”, and Heikki correctly identifies him as a cow (‘lehmä’).
Pamela then gets down on her hands and knees, screws up her face, and grunts “O”. She also uses her hand to indicate a curly tail. Heikki eventually guesses that Pamela is a “swine” (‘sika’), which is technically correct, but not the animal listed on the board. Pamela waves her hand to suggest that he should continue along those lines, and Heikki then guesses that she is a pig (‘porsas’). Eero decides that this is close enough, and he takes over the miming role from Pamela. As he does so, Heikki guesses what is actually written on the board: “piggy” (‘possu’).
Moving on, Eero gallops while saying “Gigi”, and Heikki quickly and correctly identifies him as a horse (‘hevonen’).
Pamela then squats with her hands on the ground and bounces while saying “Rrr”. Heikki initially guesses that she is a rabbit (‘jänis’), before correctly guessing that she is a frog (‘sammakko’).
Eero then gets down on his hands and knees and roars “Keke” as he swipes his hand. Heikki initially guesses that he is a tiger (‘tiikeri’) but, after Eero emphasises the letter that he is saying, Heikki correctly guesses that he is a lion (‘leijona’).
The team hit a stumbling block on what becomes Pamela’s final mime. She walks with her hands on the ground while groaning “ Öö”. She also uses her hand to indicate that her animal has a straight, long tail. Heikki initially guesses that Pamela is miming a monkey (‘apina’). When Pamela is unable to think of anything else to add to her mime, Heikki starts guessing other animals that start with ‘A’, including “aavikkokatti” (desert fox) and “alligaattori” (alligator). Pamela eventually thinks to indicate that her animal has shoes on the bottom of its feet, as well as flapping her hands on top of her head to indicate that it has floppy ears. Eero then joins Pamela, in an attempt to help, but his mime just confuses Heikki. It’s not entirely clear what Eero is attempting to mime, other than the fact that he is meant to be a person; perhaps he is attempting to mime that he is a farmer who owns the animal that Pamela is miming. The team’s time runs out, and Heikki is upset to learn that he had been unable to guess that Pamela was an ass (‘aasi’).
As the team had been able to work through most of their list of animals, Jaakko awards them 3 points each.
