Episode 3: Golf is one of the coolest things there is

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must snort, fart, and whistle in sequence, do something cool with a green-screen-clad David, host a three-way call with rhyming participants, write answers to specific questions based on a chosen letter of the alphabet, launch a rocket, direct a blindfolded team-mate through a maze, and pop up from behind a shrinking wall.

Title context

The episode title doesn’t appear to be a quote from the broadcast edit of the episode, but is presumably something said in relation to Alfred Svensson’s attempt at the ‘Do something cool using green-screen’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

A warm welcome to Bäst i Test! Yes, the weekend is here and it kicks off with five lovable individuals dedicating themselves to obeying my slightest whim.

Contestant Intros

And the unsuspecting candidates are...

The supernova from Sundsvall: Gina Dirawi.

The vacillator from Vimmerby: Alfred Svensson.

The elegant one from Enskede: Olle Sari.

The winner skull from Viksjö: Christine Meltzer.

Note: ‘Vinnarskalle’ literally means ‘winner skull/head’, and is used to refer to people with a winning/competitive mentality.

The male chorus singer from Mariestad: Jan Rippe.

Note: Jan sings in a barbershop quartet called After Shave.

Assistant Intro

And as usual by my side, the jovial yes-man from Gimo: David Sundin.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode is David’s green-screen outfit (represented by an empty coat-hanger, since it renders him ‘invisible’), plus the bucket of unused golf balls from Alfred’s attempt at the ‘Do something cool using green-screen’ task.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What have we learned today? Well, snorting, farting, and whistling is difficult. Annoying things can be magically removed with green. And ‘flaggstångsknoppsreparatör’ contains more than 10 letters.
