Linnéa and Marko kidnap some tourists

Marko asks David if someone else can take the picture, and David indicates that this would be fine. The three drive off of the Bäst i Test property, in search of someone who can help. In the car, Linnéa explains their plan, which involves bringing people back to the Bäst i Test house. David remarks that it sounds an awful lot like kidnapping. Linnéa flags down two women, who turn out to be Finnish tourists. As Marko speaks fluent Finnish, he is able to convince the women to help them. During the drive back to the house, Marko sings some of his songs, to see if the women know his work. When he sings one of his more obscure songs, David quips that even Swedes aren’t familiar with it. Marko and Linnéa decide to take their photo in a large open field near the house, and remain in communication with the tourists via mobile phone to save time. The pair wave exaggeratedly to increase their chances of being seen in the picture. Realising they have a finite amount of shots in the camera, Marko and Linnéa actually begin a long distance away from the women, and then move closer with each subsequent photo. In the studio, an argument occurs as to the definition of ‘you must both be clearly visible’ – whether this means each contestant must be specifically identifiable, or whether the fact that it’s possible to identify that two people are present is sufficient. Ultimately Babben accepts the latter definition. The Finnish tourists take Linnéa and Marko’s picture from a distance of 187 metres, and so the pair wins the task.
