Charlotta focuses on the here-and-now

Before introducing the footage of Charlotta’s attempt, David reminds the viewers that in order to secure a win, she needs to include eight facts about herself in the song. Babben muses that Charlotta must know thousands of facts about herself, so she is excited to know which ones were chosen.

However, Charlotta spends the majority of her short preparation time panicking (at one point even asking if she is meant to sing into the microphone), and therefore, sings about things in the here-and-now – particularly her gastrointestinal issues. It is also evident that she is not familiar with the show’s theme tune.

Charlotta’s lyrics (as translated) are as follows:

Damn, how nice!
Here we are today!
And I have a ton of gastrointestinal problems.
It just keeps going and going,
And it goes and goes,
And it goes and goes...
And then it comes out the back.
Out the back!

In her lyrics, she thus coins the episode’s title.

In the studio, Babben asks why Charlotta chose her one and only qualifying fact to be about her gastrointestinal issues. While Charlotta blames it on having a brainfart, Babben wonders if perhaps Charlotta wants to be the public face for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Babben awards Charlotta last place.
