Viivi suffers for her art

Viivi chooses a distance of 2 metres.

Early on in her painting process, Viivi stabs the paintbrush against the canvas in order to paint Jaakko’s eyes. The force of her stabs causes the canvas to fall off of two of the wires connecting it to the ceiling, and it nearly falls onto her, saved only by Pilvi’s quick interference.

After the canvas is rehung, Viivi continues to paint, adding “wispy things” around the face in the middle of her canvas – which cause it to fall once again, and she is once again saved by Pilvi’s quick reflexes.

Pilvi spends the rest of Viivi’s time holding the disconnected canvas as high above her as she can, while Viivi continually giggles over the “double chin” she has accidentally given Jaakko.

At the end of her painting time, Viivi scoots out of the lab while still laying on the creeper, and while the camera remains on Pilvi, banging noises are heard outside of the lab. In the studio, Viivi explains that she had stayed on her back the entire way down – meaning the steps just outside of the entrance to the lab.

Whatever the characteristics Viivi has incorporated into her painting are not officially identified, as the conversation is sidetracked by Joonas’ observation that Viivi has actually painted the politician Mikael Jungner. Jaakko agrees that Viivi has actually painted “Mikael Jungner playing the Joker”.

Pilvi later reveals that, along with Eero, Viivi was the contestant who was the most diligent about staying on her back on the creeper during the task.

Jaakko awards everyone 3 points.
