Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in something that should impress others (but doesn’t), retrieve eggs from the top of a pole, replicate a Finnish coat of arms from memory, quickly open and re-wrap a gift, and build a tower out of bars of soap.

The guest contestant is Niko Saarinen.

Title context

The episode title is merely a reference to the ‘Retrieve the eggs from the top of the pole’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

A very good evening, and welcome to watching how these entertainment elites attempt to solve tasks which some consider senseless, others ingenious. What is ingenious, at least, is the way I score them: based on facts, but completely arbitrarily. I am Jaakko Saariluoma, and this is Suurmestari.

Assistant Intro

And on my left side sits a person with a black belt in catching mistakes. She’s the official referee of the competition, Pilvi Hämäläinen.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Thanks to all the contestants. Thanks to all the viewers. This was Suurmestari.
