Anders gives a history lesson

Anders informs the children that he knows a lot of things.

He then proceeds to give the children an impromptu history lesson, first informing them that, at one point, Denmark had owned southern Sweden (until the signing of the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658).

This leads him to list all of the territories that Denmark had previously owned, before sighing and declaring that Denmark now has “virtually nothing”.

He then continues his history lesson, either not noticing (or not caring) that he is boring the children.

In the studio, Petra expresses her shock that Anders had not done better at this task, given that he has seven children of his own.

Anders replies that he does not believe in talking down to children.

Rather, he implies that he’s playing the long game with the children, proclaiming that “sucking up to kids is always bad”, and suggesting that in the long run, the children will respect him more than the other contestants.

However, the children describe Anders as “boring”, and award him last place.
