Episode 2: The world’s most disgusting fruit

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must create a Bäst i Test trailer, eat one of five delicacies, get as many golf balls into a hole as possible, place the lowest unique number of sausages in a baguette, transfer soup from one pot to another, build and then chill out in a hammock with David, and guess the length of some extendable items.
