Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must follow the clues and do what they spell, travel the furthest while making a continuous noise, lie on the ground when a siren sounds, rotate David, identify the previous guests, work out what a switch does, tie themselves up as securely as possible, and play a game of 'Sausage or Finger?'.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Hälytysvalmiudessa', which translates as 'On alert'. This is presumably a reference to the 'Put on overalls and lie on the ground when the siren sounds' task. [Translator credit: zador]

    Assistant Intro
