Episode 10: Gorgonzola, it's a cheese right?

Episode synopsis

In this season finale, the contestants must blow out a candle from a distance, complete a series of mini-tasks in the lab with increasing rapidity, perform foley for David’s experimental film, write down the same words as their fellow competitors, throw the worst-tasting bag of food into a dumpster, resist the temptation to smash an entire cake into David’s face, and stand up after 100 seconds.

Episode notes

• During this episode, Babben and David announce that a one-episode ‘Sämst i Test’ (‘Worst in Test’) special will be airing later in the year, featuring five contestants who have scored the lowest points across all previous seasons. They also show a teaser trailer for this special.

Title context

Behrouz Badreh rhetorically asks “Gorgonzola? That’s a cheese, right?”, while reading the menu during the ‘Throw the worst-tasting food into the dumpster’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the finale of 'Bäst i Test'. For nine weeks, our contestants have endured our customised trials to show what they're made of. Tonight, we reach our goal. Tonight, one of them will get to hoist my golden bust high above their head. And the ones who've made it all this way are...

Contestant Intros

The dasher’s dasher: Charlotta Bjorck!

The prince of the podium: Mauri Hermundsson!

The president of prizes: Behrouz Badreh!

The mother of medals: Maria Ludnqvist!

The jack-of-all-games: Johan Petersson!

Assistant Intro

As usual, by my side, a humanoid figure with a stopwatch in one hand and wearing a progressively wrinklier suit: the primitive primate, David Sundin.

Episode prize

There is no physical prize during this season finale. Instead, as David puts it, the episode winner gets the “honour and glory” of being the winner of the tenth episode, and being able to celebrate with a “tiny hooray”, before having to sit down and watch the season winner lift the bust of Babben and receive the audience’s praise.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What a brilliant and thrilling season. But what have we learned tonight? It’s easy to make a smoothie too big. Caking David leads to both joy and misery. And Mauri Hermundsson is Bäst i Test!
