Maria's rental scooter

Maria walks behind her chair and then dramatically hurls a black and green electric rental scooter onto the middle of the stage.

She screams about how much she hates them, as they are strewn all about the streets of various cities.

She then admits that she’s had to pay a rental fee for the one she’s brought to studio, which is charged per minute.

Atle says that in any other competition Maria would have won, but due to the high level of competition this round he has to put her in last. When she asks why, he explains simply that the others' submissions are just better.
