Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the best collection, throw something into a bucket behind a hedge, find out about a Finnish person, create an impressive show-jumping show, and play a game of 'Horse or Camera?'.

Title context

'Macaroni and elk?' was one of Mia Hundvin's guesses at Henna's favourite food in the 'Find out about the Finnish person' task.

Alternate Titles

On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Förstå en finne', which translates as 'Understand a Finn'. This is a reference to the 'Find out about the Finnish person' task. [Translator credit: DANI]
