In this episode the contestants must throw a teabag into a mug, sneeze the fastest, do something that will look impressive in reverse, place some exercise balls on a yoga mat, and inflate the largest balloon while blindfolded.

Title context

The title of the episode is merely a reference to the fact that this is the first episode of the show.

Contestant Intros

If you were to make the perfect boy band, you probably wouldn’t include Christian Fuhlendorff.
She’s a role model for every young girl who dreams of becoming the next Lina Rafn: the first Lina Rafn.
He's an old sailor, an experienced comedian, 90 years of mind, but still looks just like a happy, young lad: Nikolaj Stokholm.
The man who has more costume changes than the others combined, Ruben Søltoft.
Known not only from Midsommer, but also from all other times of the year: Julie Ølgaard.

Note: Midsommer ['Midsummer'] was the 2003 psychological horror film in which she landed her breakthrough role.

Assistant Intro

As always, I'm flanked by my personal assistant and faithful squire, who carries me through life, Mark Le Fêvre.

Episode prize
