Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in something that contains more than one would think, create an accurate pizza timer, make and play (or eat) an edible musical instrument, pop exactly 99 red balloons with a weapon of their choice, and launch a rubber chicken at the audience.

Title context

“More skin residue than cap” is how Christian Skolmen describes the results of a microscopic analysis of the contents of Atle’s baseball cap, during the ‘Something that contains more than you’d think’ prize task.

Assistant Intro

It’s getting tighter at the top, bottom, and the middle now that we’re getting closer to the end of the season. Someone who is also tight at the top, but surprisingly loose in the middle and at the bottom: my own Olli Wermskog!
