Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must: sneak David into the Bäst i Test nightclub; find and proudly wear as many matching pairs of socks as possible; do the most visionary, eye-catching, or awe-inspiring thing with a box of lemons; lose the Babben-race; create a chain-reaction to pop a balloon with a BB gun; and communicate animals through impressions.

Title context

Johan Petersson muses that “If there’s duct tape, then there’s hope”, while searching the shed for supplies during the ‘Create a chain-reaction and pop the balloon’ task.

Assistant Intro

I’ve been around for a long time, and know that life has its up and downs. There’s tall peaks and deep valleys. And my own personal valley – or ravine, if you prefer – is here tonight, and goes by the name of David Sundin.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learned today? The Babben-race won’t leave you breathless. You can make juice with a flagpole. And, as David Sundin’s always said: if there’s duct tape, there’s hope.
