Episode 1: Erik "Jerka" Johansson

Episode synopsis

In the first episode of the new season, the contestants must locate a baby monitor receiver, do something impressive with one hand under a table, move a sheet of toilet paper as far as possible, find their doppelganger in the audience, experience an Icelandic delicacy, make a balloon hover, and throw shoes at towers made of toilet paper. The guest contestant is Erik "Jerka" Johansson.

Alternate Titles

• On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Traustin paluu', which translates as 'Return of Trausti'. This is a reference to recurring guest and Icelandic fireman Trausti's appearance in the 'Invite David to taste an Icelandic delicacy' task. [Translator credit: zador]
