Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the last thing they held in their hand, place some exercise balls on top of a ski jump, memorise a code, create the best domino effect, and draw the second longest snake.

Title context

'Domino tales' was what Jenny Skavlan suggested should be the subject of Linn Skåber's YouTube channel, during the 'Create the best domino effect' task.

Alternate Titles

On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Dominohistorier', which translates as 'Domino stories'. This is a straight translation of the original Norwegian title, which was what Jenny Skavlan suggested should be the subject of Linn Skåber's YouTube channel, during the 'Create the best domino effect' task.
