Vidar hits his lowest point

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Vidar reacts very negatively to the task, since the word 'revue' gives him anxiety. Before his attempt is shown, footage is shown of him attaching colourful feathers to his head and face with a glue stick, while he describes the experience as being the darkest moment of his life. Bård's 40 second introduction for Vidar's attempt takes the form of a fairly detailed history of Vidar's achievements as an actor, comedian, and director, setting up a comically high standard against which his performance should be compared. Vidar introduces himself as the Swedish-speaking 'depression gnome' (thus coining the episode title), Furelina Värmlandskog, who is apparently struggling with the burden of all the depression he causes, and decides to 'kill himself' by blasting a leaf blower in his own face on full power. The device blows off only some of the colourful feathers that Vidar has glued to his face. In the studio, Bård immediately decries the performance as terrible, and awards Vidar last place.
