Episode 7: Ten push-ups is too many

Image of the title card at the start of this episode, showing a task brief with the show title, 'Kongen Befaler', and the episode title, 'Ti push-ups er for mye' ['Ten push-ups is too many'], on a wooden desk. At the edges of the image, part of a typewriter keyboard and a stack of leather-bound books can be seen.

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in something they’d recommend that other people throw (or throw away), do the most different things within 70 seconds, leave the lab as quickly as possible, frame another contestant for Olli’s murder, and slice a selected item of food in two with a selected weapon.

Title context

Petter Schjerven ultimately decides that “Ten push-ups is too many” while listing the things he plans to do, during the ‘Do the most different things in 70 seconds’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

A warm welcome to Kongen Befaler, the programme for those of you who have a TV, or a screen connected to the internet, with a subscription to Discovery+, or for those of you who are told about this by a third party at work tomorrow.

Assistant Intro

And welcome to you, Olli Wermskog.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Today I learned that we have contestants who are free of free will, and that Olli can be killed five times and still be alive.
