Pirjo builds a barricade

Pirjo immediately declares that she’ll just need to hide from the camera. She runs to the shed and fills a bin with long pole-like objects, such as a broom, a hockey stick, and a rake. At some point she retrieves another bin, and lays both horizontally along the course. Pirjo apparently abandons whatever idea she had with the long items, as when she starts the course, several plastic tubs filled with clothing help to provide cover, along with the bins. Pirjo gets down on the ground and begins crawling. Unfortunately, her backside can be seen poking up from behind the barricade. When she runs out of barricade, Pirjo ducks under a large sheet and crawls the rest of the length of the course, adding another tarp for good measure. Pirjo also stands up at the end of the course, in full view of the camera, and asks Pilvi if she needs to return to the starting point to end the task. In the studio, Pilvi presents a composite image of all of the photos taken during Pirjo’s attempt, and her back end is clearly visible at all points behind the bin barricade. Jaakko also points out that Pirjo broke the rules by moving the sheet and tarp after her attempt had started. Despite breaking the rules, Pirjo earns fourth place. Pilvi then shows some additional footage from Pirjo’s attempt, in which she is constantly caught on camera as she tries to retrieve the task brief, to figure out exactly when the task was meant to be completed. Jaakko awards Pirjo a bonus point, after watching this, for entertainment value.
