Pirjo’s (suspicious) fan letter

Pirjo brings in a letter supposedly written to her by a fan. Pilvi says that, according to Pirjo, a large amount of jealousy will always be sparked when someone has to witness someone else receiving fan mail. Notably, the fan letter is from Sanna Marin, the then current Prime Minister of Finland (in April 2023, she conceded defeat to her centre-right rivals, the National Coalition, led by Petteri Orpo, in the 2023 Finnish parliamentary election). The translated letter reads: “Hey, Pirjo!! I have admired you for a long time, since 1998, at the Orimattila [southern town which was home to the season 1 contestant Roni Back] summer theatre. Your talent is beyond comprehension! Petteri Orpo is of the same opinion. Come visit us at the government [word unclear] at some point, let’s hang out!!! I could arrange fun activities like a magician, a talk show, light soup/salad buffet, and music. Just say a date that works. Regards, Sanna Marin, Prime Minister.” After Jaakko pushes a little, it’s clear that Pirjo has forged the letter, though she never actually admits to it. Jaakko awards Pirjo second place.
