Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must transport priceless dinnerware to a cabinet while on wheels, create an amusement park ride for David, perform a synchronised dance, inflate a balloon while blindfolded, launch and catch something over a distance, accept the consequences of their own daring actions, and karate chop a spaghetti log.

Also, acts of sabotage are revealed.

The guest contestant is Danny Saucedo, but he is represented in the studio by former contestant Nassim Al Fakir.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Sabotaasia', which translates as 'Sabotage'. This is a reference to the 'Perform a synchronised dance / Sabotage your dance' task. [Translator credit: zador]

    Taskmaster Intro

    Welcome back to Bäst i Test, the show where we transform the problem-solving abilities of our contestants into excellent Friday entertainment.

    Contestant Intros

    And the ones that alternate between flashes of genius and veritable meltdowns this year, the passengers on this train of nonsense, are...
    The frazzled free-rider, Marcus Berggren!
    The ebullient engine-driver, Sussie Eriksson!
    The charismatic conductor, Anis Don Demina!
    And the notorious navvy, Sofia Dalén!
    Today, Danny Saucedo was supposed to be our guest star, but he's unfortunately ill and can't be present here in the studio. But Danny's already done his tasks in the Bäst i Test house, and we will, of course, be showing those anyway. But Danny's spot on the couch will not be unoccupied. Here to fill those singing-and-dancing shoes is a true Bäst i Test expert: none other than Nassim Al Fakir!

    Assistant Intro

    If anyone's wondering why there's a peculiar little has-been sitting here next to me looking quizzical, I wish I had a good answer, but I do know his name: David Sundin.
