Episode synopsis
In this episode, the contestants must bring in the least socially acceptable item they own, make a high-jump sandwich, get a cake into a box, join a video chat dressed as Henrik Ibsen, and draw a life-size self-portrait with their nose through a canvas.
Title context
Ingar Helge Gimle quotes Henrik Ibsen’s play Brand by saying “Only the lost is eternally owned”, after he finally makes it into the Zoom video call during the ‘Join the video chat dressed as Henrik Ibsen’ task.
Assistant Intro
Next to me is my dog, Olli Wermskog.
Taskmaster's Sign-off
Today we have again learned that it pays off to read the whole task before starting, that Ingar is not an expert at video chats, and we've experienced a cumbersome way to make sandwiches.
