Tuva favours the letter ‘B’

Tuva starts by reading all of the four-letter words present on the task brief, which gives her ‘fire’ (four) and ‘sier’ (say). She overlooks ‘over’, which is also written on the task brief.

She then follows up by saying her own name, then ‘skal’ (will), ‘bade’ (bath), ‘ball’, ‘boks’ (box), ‘bing’, ‘bang’, ‘bull’, ‘Tete’, ‘Olli’, ‘Atle’, and ‘fall’, before her time runs out.

Tuva is disappointed with her performance, telling Olli that she thought it was “just average”, and says that she thinks Marte will do well on the task.

In the studio, after it is revealed that Tuva performed far better than the other four contestants, Atle admonishes her to never doubt her own abilities again, before reminding her that her attempt was still “bang-on average”.

Tuva says 14 four-letter words – or, as Olli puts it, “twice as many words as the others combined” – and wins the task.
