Maria's lousy T-shirt

Maria gives the Santa a hug, prior to taking the task brief.

In the studio, she tiptoe-dances her way across stage to present Atle with his gift, which is wrapped in brown paper and a ribbon.

She claims that he already has everything he needs in life, and so she has decided to present him with something she knows will be a one-of-a-kind.

He unwraps a white T-shirt which features a picture of the two of them together (him looking slightly sinister, her pulling an unflattering face), with the words "Maria Stavang went on Kongen Befaler, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." Atle awards her third place.
