Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in something they use a lot less than they thought they would, work out what Olli is wearing, arrive in the lab fourth with a good excuse, set an unofficial record with some white bread, and play a game of reverse charades.

Episode notes

At the start of this episode, there are some shots of the contestants on stage wearing different outfits, and with different prizes, presumably accidentally edited in from another episode. It seems plausible that this could be because the hosts' introductory chat referencing episode and task numbers was originally filmed as the intro for a different episode, and then had to be moved for the sake of accuracy.

Title context

Anne Marit Jacobsen asks Olli “Are you wearing a dog collar?” during the ‘Work out what Olli is wearing’ task.

Alternate Titles

On Norway's Discovery+ Norge streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Er du naken, tut tre ganger', which translates as 'If you're naked, honk three times'. This is actually the title of episode 9.
