Jukka finds strength in collaboration

Jukka rolls up one of his sleeves and starts to blow lightly on his forearm. When that method does not work, he removes his glasses and informs Pilvi that when he bites metal things, it gives him goosebumps. He starts to gnaw on the frames of his glasses, but this fails to produce any goosebumps. He leaves the lab and returns with two bottles of hot sauce which he finds in the refrigerator, and which are therefore cold. Jukka rolls one of the bottles on his forearm, then tries carefully gnawing on it as he did with his glasses, but neither method results in goosebumps. He begins telling Pilvi about how nails on a chalkboard would always give him goosebumps when he was a child, then runs out of the lab in search of a chalkboard. Although he is unable to find one in the shed, he returns to the lab with some gaffer tape and chains, and wonders if he could make a sufficiently irritating noise that would provide the same response. Either this plan is abandoned or cut from the footage, as Jukka is then seen putting a strip of gaffer tape onto his arm, intending to produce goosebumps through sudden pain. He rips off the strip of gaffer tape, leaving a bare forearm with no goosebumps. He then sources a scalp massager from somewhere, and has Pilvi give him a massage, which causes goosebumps to appear on the back of his neck. He thanks Pilvi, and acknowledges that there is “strength in collaboration”. Jukka gets distinct goosebumps in 8 minutes and 9 seconds. Despite the fact that several other contestants were faster, Jaakko acknowledges Pilvi’s observation that Jukka was the only contestant who had clear, identifiable goosebumps, and he therefore awards Jukka first place.
