Episode synopsis

In this episode, the new cast of contestants must bring in something they’ve had enough of, get a rubber duck into a bucket, save some eggs from a blender, make two bookcases identical, and name games in alphabetical order.

Title context

Ingrid Linhave utters the phrase “I got a cactus in my forehead” after trying to move a table with a cactus on it with her mouth, during the ‘Make the bookcases identical’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

A warm welcome back to the Drammen theatre, and another season of Kongen Befaler, the programme that just keeps giving and giving so that you at home can feel a little smarter.

Assistant Intro

And once again I have with me the man who keeps giving me a lot, and giving the participants relatively little: Olli Wermskog.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Today we learned that Ingar is from Torshov, and that Ingrid retches because of old books. We'll be back next week with more points, and more life wisdom.
