Peter picks up sticks


Peter picks up the pin from the desk and counts its petals, immediately saying that he just wants to beat Hans at the task. He searches the shed for inspiration, and pulls out what appears to be a ski pole, placing it in the middle of Annika Akjær’s circle, which is still present in the grass.
He finds a bag of long, thin stakes in the shed, and as he tries to untangle the knot holding it shut, he tells Mark that he feels that he will win the task, before quickly admitting that he feels like the task is too easy, so is worried that he has missed something.
Peter counts out the remaining petals he needs from the bag of stakes, and starts laying them around the circle. As he does, Mark asks if he is a sore loser, and Peter admits that he is an “extremely sore loser”.
After realising that Hans might be “stupid enough” to build a Knæk Cancer flower as large as he has just created (and unaware that Hans has, in fact, built a much larger one), Peter overlays the tips of all the poles together in the centre, to shorten his creation’s size
In the studio, Cecilie immediately takes issue with Peter’s Knæk Cancer flower, calling it “just a game of Mikado”. Hans agrees, saying that Peter’s creation wasn’t even circular. In response, Peter calls them both sore losers.
As the maker of what is ultimately the second-largest Knæk Cancer flower, Hans wins the task, and earns 3 points.
