Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in something they didn't think they needed but now love, get a block through a hole, move some party food to a different table, resist the urge to blink, and catch tomatoes in their chef's hats.

Title context

'Palvaaksii malaksij' was a string of fake Finnish uttered by Vegard Ylvisåker during the 'Don’t blink' task.

Alternate Titles

  • On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Det omöjliga blinkrekordet', which translates as 'The impossible blinking record'. This is a reference to the mind-blowing performances in the 'Don't blink' task. [Translator credit: DANI]

    Assistant Intro
