Episode synopsis

In this season finale, the contestants must bring in the most cash, gain the most weight, get a potato into a hole, spread their possessions far and wide, knock over a plastic bottle, get a bun to David in the fewest steps, give David a surprise, and stand up after exactly 100 seconds.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Pullaa ja painonnousua', which translates as 'Buns and weight gain'. This is a reference to the 'Get the bun to David in the fewest steps' and 'Gain the most weight' tasks. [Translator credit: zador]

    Notes on discrepancies

    • The cause of the discrepancy in Marika's points is unknown, but is apparent in the first scoreboard update, which takes place after the second task.
    • Fortunately, the discrepancy does not affect the ultimate outcome of the episode, and does not have a major effect on the series scores.
