Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in something they need on a Sunday morning, give Olli the third longest hug, wear the most surprising costume under their outfit, build a tower of cans while naming countries, and try not to run out of macaroons. Also, a traitor is exposed!

Title context

"I thought I liked Espen Eckbo" was a statement uttered by a very disappointed Kristoffer Olsen, at the end of the 'Build a tower of cans while naming countries' task.
