Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in something they've borrowed but never returned, unravel a reel of string, make a waffle from a distance, fill an eggcup with tears, and put on a frozen shirt and tie.

Alternate Titles

  • On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Löpa linan ut', which translates as 'Run the line out'. This is a reference to the 'Unravel the reel of string' task. [Translator credit: DANI]
