Eija ponders the life of a Taskmaster

Eija leaves the lab and heads to the kitchen to search for items. She finds a large pot, and reasons that it might be a good candidate for adding to the large cube. She then heads to the shed and collects a few bowling pins. As Eija sets up her objects in the lab, she muses that life must be difficult for a Taskmaster, constantly having to come up with tasks. Eija’s chosen items are a large pot with lid, a large bowl, and four bowling pins – technically seven items, if the lid is counted separately from the pot. From various shots of the footage of Eija’s attempt, she appears to have also conducted some sort of test with a red plastic helmet in the smaller cube, but that is not shown. Eija’s attempt is mostly disastrous, as the bowling pins float, and they are the majority of her items. She ends up abandoning the kitchen equipment, and instead uses the red plastic helmet and the smaller cube to round out her six chosen items. She presses the small cube down on top of the floating bowling pins to raise the water, causing some to slosh over the sides (despite her insistence to the contrary). Despite breaking the rules, Eija earns third place, presumably because she raised the water level higher than Linda. Jaakko also awards Eija a bonus point for giving consideration for how tough a time he has coming up with new tasks (Eija is also dead last on the season scoreboard, 20 points behind her nearest competitor, and giving her bonus points for no good reason has become a running joke throughout the season).
