Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must throw some water the furthest, find out what the karate guy is planning to do this weekend, enter and then leave a caravan exactly on time, follow the Taskmaster's orders, prevent David from scoring a goal, and predict how many cans they will be able to fit into a bag. The guest contestant in this episode is Janne Andersson.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Pallopäät pelinkentällä', which translates as 'Ballheads on the pitch'. This is a reference to the 'Prevent David from scoring a goal' task. 'Pallopäät' implies a football theme, but also is a term for an idiot. [Translator credit: zador]

    Taskmaster Intro

    A warm welcome to Bäst i Test, where nothing is too trivial for us to compete in.

    In our team line-up, we have, among others...
    The funny midfield lock, Linnéa Wikblad!
    The broke ball boy, Henrik Nyblom!
    The fierce shooting queen, Nikki Amini!
    The powerful goal machine, Marko Lehtosalo!
    Tonight we are joined by the distinguished national team captain, Janne Andersson!

    Assistant Intro

    In every team, someone has to sit on the substitutes’ bench and hope for some play time. In our programme, the name of the benchwarmer is David Sundin.

    Taskmaster's Sign-off

    What have we learned? Well, Janne Andersson is a living timekeeper; Nikki in the goal is a wall; and the karate guy is lying, as usual.
