Eija’s terrifying therapy

Eija first uses her phone to find out what ASMR is, as she has no idea. She describes her performance as “a journey to terrifying therapy”, and is the only contestant out of the five to physically touch Pilvi to make the experience more unpleasant. Eija uses a raspy voice and slow sweeps of her hands and nails up and down Pilvi’s arms and back, as she describes the feeling of Pilvi’s body itching all over due to being covered in deer keds and biting ants. To make the whole thing even more dreadful, Eija informs Pilvi that her dog has eaten chocolate. At the end of her ‘therapy’, however, Eija is careful to tell Pilvi that the deer keds were in fact all just a figment of Pilvi’s imagination. In the studio, Pilvi admits that, while she was surprised by Eija’s holistic approach to the task, she did end up being creeped out by it, as well as frightened by just how loud Eija’s booming, roaring voice was in the headphones. Eija earns second place.
