Episode synopsis

In this season finale, the contestants must bring in something they use too much (or too little), empty all the bottles, keep a train on its rails, burn a string to ring a bell, and pop up before a toaster does.

Title context

'Read the letter 100 times' was a maxim uttered - but not actually followed - by Trond Fausa Aurvåg during the 'Burn the string to ring the bell' task.

Alternate Titles

  • On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Läs brevet 100 gånger', which translates as 'Read the letter 100 times'. This is a straight translation of the original Norwegian title, which was a quote from Trond Fausa Aurvåg, during the 'Burn the string to ring the bell' task. [Translator credit: DANI]

    Assistant Intro

    To know who wins, we need to know how many minutes, seconds, metres, and kilos the participants have performed. That's why you're here, my good man Olli Wermskog.
