Episode synopsis
In this episode, the contestants must bring in something they shouldn’t have, get the highest score by putting balls into a hammock, perform as part of an air jazz quintet, capture a spectacular self-timed photograph, and score points by blowing bubbles through rings. Also, one lucky contestant finds a secret task.
Title context
Erik Solbakken describes the trumpet as the saxophone’s “evil little cousin” during the ‘Air jazz quintet’ task.
Taskmaster Intro
Welcome to Kongen Befaler, the programme that yanks and pulls at your smile muscles, diaphragm, and laughter muscles.
Assistant Intro
And not least at the soul of the man who, by Norwegian standards, appears sullen and depressed, but by Finnish standards, appears bubbly and life-affirming: Olli Wermskog.
Taskmaster's Sign-off
We’ll be back next time with more of the same, just different. Remember, it’s better to have 10 balls in the hammock than one ball joke on your CV. Thanks for watching.
