Episode 7: Fun suitcase

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in something great that fits in their mouth, play mini golf with eggs, do something incredible under the table while waving, bounce something into something, and play a game of cannonball roulette.

Title context

Snorre Monsson says “fun suitcase” during the ‘Do something incredible under the table while waving’ task. While the literal translation of what he said, ‘gøy koffert’, is ‘fun suitcase’, this is actually a reference to a common idiom, ‘å tenke koffert’ (‘to think suitcase’), meaning ‘having a dirty mind’. This is understood to be a Freudian reference, since containers such as suitcases are interpreted in Freudian psychology as symbols representing female genitalia. In the official English subtitles, what he said has therefore been translated as ‘fun mind in the gutter’.

Assistant Intro

Someone else the golden bust puts to shame, and proves that you can make shit out of Finnish turd: Olli Wermskog.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Today, we learned that if you bounce and miss the shed, you’ve still bounced into the garden.
