Charlotta and Mauri gag Johan too early

After reading the task brief, Mauri immediately assigns Charlotta the role of the bad guy, which excites her. She picks up a sugar glass bottle from the table, intending to use it in their performance, but fails to realise how fragile it is, and it immediately breaks apart in her hand.

The team take the remaining weapons and relocate to the front of the house, to continue their planning. This plan eventually results in Johan playing the part of a hostage, gagged with duct tape and a plastic ball in his mouth. As Charlotta applies fake blood to Johan’s face, Johan complains that he finds it difficult to breathe and, after removing the ball, suggests that they’d probably put it in his mouth way too soon.

The team’s scene starts with a voice-over, announcing that the film (‘Taste My Foot’) is presented by ‘Bäst i Test Worldwide Pictures’. Johan is tied to a chair in the driveway, with a gun held to his head by Charlotta. Mauri – clutching a pipe wrench – awkwardly sneaks down the steps behind them, before yelling (in English) “It’s payday, bitch!”, and smashing the wrench across her face. The impact causes Charlotta to bleed from her mouth, and she uses both of her guns as melee weapons in retaliation.

As Charlotta and Mauri continue to trade blows, Johan manages to break free of his bonds, remove his ball gag, and yell (in English) “Taste my foot!”, before delivering a roundhouse kick across Mauri’s face. It seems that the kick was meant to also continue and hit Charlotta, but Johan loses his balance before he can follow through.

Charlotta then fires wildly, gunning down both Johan and Mauri, before kicking both men while they are down.

Guest judge Parisa Amiri calls the team’s production “ruthless”, and summarises it as “an Icelandic man out to liberate a burly and unexpectedly nimble male lead, who has been trapped in the talons of an evil matriarch”. She awards it the win.
