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.
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.

Notes on discrepancies
- The scoreboard updates shown after the 'Middle of the show' task and at the end of the episode show Charlotta with one less point that she was actually awarded, and Maria with one more point that she was actually awarded. This did not affect anyone's final placing in the episode.
