Episode 9: Can’t go wrong with a fox

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must make a watermelon end up as far away from David as possible, turn on a disco light, perform a dressage show, de-pineapple a pizza, solve a series of fruit- and vegetable-based mini-tasks, make a set of scales read exactly a given weight, and play a game of human war boats with satsumas.

Title context

David Sundin answers “Can’t go wrong with a fox” after Mauri Hermundsson asks him what his own favourite animal is, during their chat before the ‘Make the scales read exactly a given weight’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

You're watching a new episode of Bäst i Test, the show with the highest hurled-melon-per-second ratio. We do what we do for one very good reason: within one week, we'll be able to decide who is, after all is said and done, the 'best in test'. And this season is incredibly even. Competing are...

Contestant Intros

The not particularly shy wallflower: Charlotta Bjorck!

The verdant vine: Mauri Hermundsson!

The reddest rose: Behrouz Badreh!

Note: ‘Rosen’ (‘The rose’) is one of Behrouz’s nicknames, although his more commonly-used one is ‘Berra’.

The wonderful wormwood: Maria Lundqvist!

The carnivorous plant: Johan Petersson!

Assistant Intro

Ladies and gentlemen, David Sundin.

Note: Babben had tried to steamroll directly from talking to the contestants to starting the first task, but David made himself known, so Babben unenthusiastically introduces him this way.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode is all of the leftover pizzas from the ‘De-pineapple the pizzas’ task.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What have we learned today? In lieu of batteries, use a cord. Good neighbours will handle your melon transportation. And with the right attitude, you can blow a pineapple off of a table.
