Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in something that is easy to misspell, make and serve Olli a drink, perform a thought-provoking puppet show, eat the second most medister cakes, and name birds while eating grapes.

Title context

'Finnish sour' was what Magnus Devold named his cocktail during the 'Make and serve Olli a drink' task. The cocktail name is also likely a reference to Olli, who is Finnish.

Alternate Titles

  • On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Norsk dockteater', which translates as 'Norwegian puppet theatre'. This is a reference to the 'Perform a thought-provoking puppet show' task. [Translator credit: DANI]
