Martha finds a wildcard and wins
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Martha puts an M in A1, then an L in D5, to create some drama by creating two-in-a-row. This square turns out to be a wildcard, giving her the chance to place another piece. The audience screams when she says she's going to place an M next, since she could end the game by instead placing another L in C5, leaving Live pointless. However, she realises that this would leave Espen as the winner of the task, so instead places an M in D4. Shen the places an M in B3. At the end of the game, she has three pieces on the grid, earning joint first place and 5 points.
