Episode synopsis
In this inaugural episode of the seventh season, the contestants must bring in something they think makes them tough, compose their own intro song, get as much weight as possible into a glass cylinder, deliver the most items to Olli in a hat, and pull the longest match out of a cabinet.
Title context
"I am not there, I am here!" were some of the lyrics from Vidar Magnussen's song, in the 'Compose your own intro song' task.
Taskmaster Intro
A warm welcome to Drammen's Theatre, and a new season of Kongen Befaler. The audience is new, the participants are new, the tasks are new, and as you can see, there is indeed a new king as well.
Assistant Intro
But one man who sits faithfully by the king's side, and who has neither moved up nor down in 60 episodes: Olli Wermskog, ladies and gentlemen.
