Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in something that has too many holes, draw the biggest bike, put all the Duplos back in a bag, build the tallest cardboard box tower, and sort some plasticine by colour.

Title context

'Lazy Linn' was how Atle Antonsen referred to Linn Skåber during the season scores recap at the start of the episode.

Alternate Titles

On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Ute och cyklar', which translates as 'Out and cycling'. The phrase 'Ute och cykla' is a Swedish expression used to describe someone who's completely lost (mentally-speaking), in somewhat the same way that we might figuratively describe someone as 'lost at sea' in English. Many Swedes cycle to let their minds drift, and therefore joke about being absent-minded when they are cycling. In this case, the phrase is also a reference to the 'Draw the biggest bike' task.
