Christian, Jonas, and Victor have lots of bad ideas

Unlike Annika and Sofie, the boys manage not to look at one other. Christian and Victor remain in the study with their backs turned to each other, while Jonas leaves the room and heads outside, keeping in contact with the others using his phone, as they all discuss ideas.

Jonas tells them that he needs to restructure his bank loan, so jokingly suggests that they all do that together.

Other ideas include synchronised swimming, chopping down a tree, creating three domino runs, redirecting traffic, making the same prank call, chugging a beer, looking at each other at the same time, wearing night vision goggles, playing the same character in a movie, parallel parking, legally changing their names, plucking a four-leaf clover together, defrosting a freezer, and resigning from the Church of Denmark (which is apparently only rejected because Christian refuses to).

All of these ideas appear to have been generated by Jonas and Victor, while Christian apparently remained silent. Christian then finally speaks up to note that they have in sync come up with a lot of bad ideas.

As Christian calmly sits at the desk and duct-tapes the wooden artist’s mannequins to it, Victor accidentally looks at him, finally starting the team’s time.

Jonas returns to the study, and then Christian shares his own idea: he likes the idea of the three of them simultaneously failing the team task, and states that he intends to carry out this idea, whether Victor and Jonas support it or not.

Jonas is actually on board with the plan, and so sits next to Christian, encouraging the annoyed Victor to join them.

Victor keeps pitching other ideas – such as eating a marshmallow in sync – but Christian and Jonas have already decided that they should fail in sync. When Victor protests that their idea is barely a solution to the task, Christian replies that “barely is good enough”.

However, Jonas eventually presents a new idea to the other two: what if they all fall asleep (and subsequently wake up) at the exact same second?

As there are clearly no better ideas – and with time running out – the three move to the lounge. Victor lays on the carpet, Jonas on the couch, and Christian on a large teddy bear.

When all three of them appear to be asleep, Mark pops a balloon, and the three of them all appear to jerk awake (though there is a notable delay on Christian’s part).

Lasse ultimately awards 2 points each to Christian, Jonas, and Victor.
