Episode synopsis
In this season premiere, the contestants must bring in something that gives them a lot of confidence, direct a robot to its charging station, make the best bread head (or a cabbage head), perform the opening number to the revue of their lives, and read Olli’s lips.
Title context
Alex Rosén observes that it’s “impossible to breath in bread”, during his attempt at the ‘Make the best bread head or cabbage head’ task.
Taskmaster Intro
A warm welcome to Kongen Befaler and season 11 from Drammen theatre! Season opening means a formal opening. What screams formal more than an unveiling?
Note: While saying this, Atle and everyone else on stage has red velvet cloths covering their heads. Atle reveals his own face first.
Assistant Intro
My faithful companion and assistant through all seasons, Olli Wermskog!
Note: Olli reveals his own face by pulling the red velvet cloth off of his head, as Atle introduces him.
Taskmaster's Sign-off
We've learned that the key isn't being the best bread head, as long as you’re a unique cabbage head. Yes. Think about it. See you next time.
