Lars removes some things from the table

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

Lars does not read the phrase "Welcome to the table. Can I offer you a biscuit?" from the task brief, and takes time to plan his approach to the task. He removes the flag from the vase, and the candles from their holders, and then drapes a rug over the other items on the table, to hold them in place. Then, while holding the flag and still-lit candles in one hand, he spins the table with the other hand, getting it up to speed before officially starting the task by saying the key phrase. At the end of his 90 seconds, he removes the rug to reveal that everything is still on the table. When Olli gestures at the items he is holding in his hand, Lars insists that they were never on the table themselves, but were in things that were - and remain - on the table. In the studio, Bård gives Lars 15 seconds to make his case and avoid a disqualification, and Lars essentially repeats the same argument. Bård is not buying it, though, so Lars is disqualified.
