Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must rescue a cat from a tree, complete as many tasks as possible, find out what's in the karate guy's box, build a sweet and salty tower, make the best quick-change outfit, shoot a sausage at something (or something at a sausage), and strike poses to represent a sport, an animal, and a colour.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Luovaa ajattelua', which translates as 'Creative thinking'. It's unclear what this might be a reference to. [Translator credit: zador]

    Notes on discrepancies

    • The point totals are incorrect upon the first displayed scoreboard update, which takes place after the sixth task.
    • It appears likely that there was another, unaired task, but it is not possible to identify at what point in the episode it took place.
    • Fortunately, these inconsistencies did not change the winner of the episode or the series.
