Jesper both writes and performs for his team

Jesper is chosen to write the list of animals for his team, and he writes the following: ‘ko’ (cow), ‘gris’ (pig), ‘får’ (sheep), ‘hund’ (dog), ‘kat’ (cat), ‘høns’ (hens), ‘struds’ (ostrich), ‘hval’ (whale), ‘abe’ (ape/monkey), and ‘myre’ (ant).

Because Hadi’s team correctly guesses all 10 of these animals, Lasse revises the winning condition for the task (which was originally just ‘most correctly guessed animals wins’), stating that Jesper and Petra will need to correctly identify all 10 animals from the other team’s list in a faster time.

Jesper is chosen to mime the animals written by the other team.

He does not follow the list in the order written, presumably choosing the order instead based on how easily he thinks the animals will be guessed.

For ‘hest’ (horse), he gallops in place, while saying the letter ‘G’, and Petra correctly identifies the species.

For ‘høne’ (hen), Jesper puts his hands behind his back and bends over, pretending to peck, while saying the letter ‘G’.

Petra initially guesses that it’s a ‘gås’ (goose), before arriving at the correct answer.

For ‘gris’ (pig), Jesper gets down on all fours, and uses a finger to push his nose up, while saying the letter ‘F’, and Petra correctly identifies the animal.

For ‘and’ (duck), Jesper gets on down on his knees, and uses one of his hands to represent a bill in front of his mouth, while waggling the other hand behind his backside to represent its tail, all while saying the letter ‘Å’.

Anders – on the other team – points out that the impression is “actually really good”, but Petra incorrectly guesses that it’s an ‘abe’ (monkey/ape), an alligator (the same word in Danish and English), and an ‘agerhøne’ (partridge) before Jesper decides to just move on to another animal.

For ‘due’ (dove/pigeon), Jesper gets down on his knees again and flaps his arms behind himself, puffing up his cheeks, and saying the letter ‘C’.

Petra doesn’t make any guesses at this one, so Jesper moves on again to another animal.

For ‘får’ (sheep), Jesper gets on all fours, miming chewing and looking startled, while saying the letter ‘E’.

He then stands up, pretends to be sleeping, and uses one hand to make a jumping motion over his head (as if he is counting sheep).

His time runs out before Petra can make a guess, though.

Having not correctly identified all of the animals on their list, Jesper and Petra receive no points.
