In this episode the contestants must bring in something that increases their chance of getting laid, smuggle objects without Olli seeing them, make the tallest lemon tower, build a birdhouse, and play a game of 'Roses and Cacti'.

Title context

'Kilpisjärvi, have you been there?' was a question posed to Olli Wermskog by Magnus Devold during the 'Make the tallest lemon tower' task.
