Welcome back to Bäst i Test, the show where we transform
the problem-solving abilities of our contestants to excellent Friday entertainment.
And the ones that alternate between flashes of genius and veritable meltdowns this year, the passengers on this train of nonsense, are:
The frazzled free-rider, Marcus Berggren!
The ebullient engine-driver, Sussie Eriksson!
The charismatic conductor, Anis Don Demina!
And the notorious navvy, Sofia Dalén!
And when we've left the station you will, among other things, get to see this:
Oh, please!
Oh, I couldn't go with you today, right?
Today, Danny Saucedo was supposed to be our guest star, but he's unfortunately ill and can't be present here in the studio.
But Danny's already done his tasks in the Bäst i Test house, and we will, of course, be showing those anyway.
But Danny's spot on the couch will not be unoccupied:
Here to fill those singing-and-dancing shoes is a true Bäst i Test expert, none other than
Nassim Al Fakir!
Ah, lovely! Rad, huh!
Fantastic!
Welcome, Nassim. You're going to be keeping us company here throughout the evening.
One could say that you and Danny form a team, in a way. So Danny does the tasks in the house
and you do the ones we do live, here in the studio. Do you have anything you'd like to say to Danny?
Just take it easy, now. I'll take care of you, or...
Anyway, panel, how are you feeling tonight? Marcus? - Ah, great.
I feel that a victory's written in the stars. Tonight's my night.
I can also sense the smell of victory. - That might be coming from me.
If anyone's wondering why there's a peculiar little has-been sitting here next to me looking quizzical, I wish I had a good answer
but I do know his name. David Sundin.
Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you. Lovely words.
I'd just like to seize the opportunity to thank you so much for the faith placed in me.
It feels amazing to be allowed to be on this episode as well. Very fun, I'd like you to know that.
I will, as usual, not disappoint you. - I think that ship sailed a while ago, but either way...
What are we starting with? - Well, it is Friday, after all, so it's time to get out the fine china.
Good day to you. - Good day to you.
"Place the antique and invaluable objects in the display cabinet."
"You may not move the display cabinets, or the table on which the antique and invaluable objects are."
"You may only move yourself and the objects with an e-scooter, a unicycle, or a hoverboard."
"For every antique and invaluable object that breaks"
"you get 20 minutes added to your time."
Not too shabby, that. 20 minutes? - No. No, that's a decent amount of penalty time, actually.
"The one who moves the objects to the display cabinet fastest wins. Your time starts in 3 minutes."
Right. My time hasn't started yet, then? So I can touch these a bit? - Yup.
No, god, Marcus, are you crazy?
Ow. Hello? - Stand. Straight, straight!
Lock! Lock! - I've locked, now.
Okay. God... - Your time starts now.
Can this move, this tablecloth? - That can move.
I've selected my vehicle. - Yes.
I'm thinking, if I fold the whole shebang up... - That makes it one trip.
Now, let's do this, nice and easy as hell. This is going to be fine, Eriksson, no worries.
And, as mentioned, here you will need to keep your hands on the handlebars.
But, Marcus... - So, if anything breaks, it's 20 minutes added time per antique object.
The most important thing here, is that nothing breaks. - That's right.
No...!
Dammit, dammit, dammit... It was going so well.
Nuts.
God... dangit!
A tiny crack doesn't matter, right? Drinking's possible.
This'll be fine. It's a bit fast...
How many minutes do I have? - Until you're done. Fastest wins.
So calm and gentle. - Yeah, so calm and gentle. Look at that.
Come on! Woohoo!
Tea cup, sherry glasses... are these little sherry glasses, here? - Could be. Absolutely could be.
I might try this out once, then.
No, no, no, no!
What the hell's going on?
Ha-ha-ha! Come on now, goddammit!
No... look, look, look, look!
Extremely advanced precision work. - That's kind of my calling card.
God dammit...
Another 20 minutes, there.
Can I run back with this? - No.
This is going well, huh. - And the last part.
Just another trip.
Now! I've got it, now!
Come on now, little cups.
No!
Ah, god dammit!
There! Nothing...
Nice. Ah...
There. - Ah, thanks.
The glass - it sounded like it broke. Did it? Some cracks? - Some cracks, yeah.
Good work. A fair amount of time, but nothing broke.
And everything's whole. Good work. - Thank you very much.
I still got some juice out of this in the end. - Yeah, I'll say.
That one's not broken. If you've got that at home, you'd drink from it.
Babben decides. - Babben, I love you. [with Gotland accent]
Ah, I don't think it helps putting on an accent from a different Nordic language, here.
But you would've... if you were from Småland, you would've drunk from that glass. [Småland residents are jokingly seen as stingy]
Of course I would've, but I'm not from Småland.
But I looked incredibly good, there. I was handsome and everything.
So amazing to just get to look at yourself and go "Shit, I look so good!"
You've even got a nice-looking helmet. - And so incredibly calm.
Could you summarise how this went, David? With the added times and so on.
Yes, we're going to run through this. There were some crushed antiquities, but also dreams.
Sofia managed this in 6 minutes and 46 seconds, but dropped two things.
So 40 minutes added there, putting her at a total of 46 minutes and 46 seconds.
Sussie, somewhat faster, managed this in 5 minutes and 47 seconds
and with her added time, she ends up slightly below Sofia... 45 minutes and 47 seconds.
Marcus sped ahead, clocked in at 6 minutes, no more, no less...
Wow! Nailed it, gang! - ...but dropped five plates, and ends up with 106 minutes.
Anis, very calm and level-headed, as mentioned: 11 minutes and 30 seconds.
And that sounds like a lot, but since nothing broke, that really is 11 minutes and 30 seconds.
And then we've got Team Danny. Not only did he perform the task in 3 minutes and 47 seconds,
so 2 minutes faster than Sussie, he didn't drop a single antiquity either. - What? That's incredible.
Incredible!
What a guy! - Yeah, what a goddamn guy, huh?
I understand that you're shocked, Nassim. You're not used to kicking off with a five like this, but you did.
Anis gets the 4. Sussie takes the 3. 2 for Sofia. And Marcus does get 1 lovely point,
and wobbles into last place. And what happens next?
Now, it's time for a real rollercoaster.
I'll read. - Of course.
I know the drill.
"Create a ride and give it a marketable name."
"David must want to ride on your ride."
"Best ride wins." - "You have 45 minutes. Your time starts now."
So, this revolved around creating a ride of the variety you find in theme parks and amusement parks, and so on...
like merry-go-rounds, rollercoasters, or that type of thing.
The goal was to create a ride that I wanted to ride, because otherwise, I said "no", and nothing came of it.
And with your penchant for motion sickness, I think this could get both fun and slightly tricky.
Who's taking you for a ride first? - None less than Anis Don Demina!
What do you like, then? - I like rollercoasters.
Getting a little tingly gut feeling, but surprises are nice too, of course.
Right now, it looks like something I want to ride. - Ah, okay.
I'm not great at throwing, I've realised. - That's because you're holding the string.
It's because you're standing on the string. - Yeah, could be.
Is it that you don't want to?
And we're off. Starting to get slightly nervous. It doesn't look too... done.
It's not done. - Right, that's because it's not done.
Under construction. - Under construction.
You'll sit here, and then I'm going to pull this backwards, and then I'm going to let go...
And that's where you ride. I call it "The Evil Knievel".
Does it feel... safe, to you? - It's 100% safe.
Would you ride it? - 100%.
The most important thing here is having fun. You with me?
Is it fun? - Woo! Oh!
Yeah. Here we have it, I feel like. Have fun.
A win. That was good. - Anis!
Good work... Good work.
Anis, that ride did look fun. How pleased are you?
Well, I think it was fun. I don't have the courage to be pleased on this show until I've seen what the others did.
That's true, that's true. Whose carnival are we visiting next?
Now, it's time for a very merry-go-round with Marcus, Sussie, and Team Danny.
Okay, ride. We've got something here.
This'll be in front of my car. - In front of your car?
Yeah. And I'll drive, and you'll, like, sit here in the front. - That's a no.
Things are supposed to happen, it's supposed to be fun...
Just feeling it out. Imagine that you're sitting there, and that I'm in my car right now.
How's your thought process? - It's experiences.
It's different experiences, on the way? - Yup.
It'd be really fun to attach one of those hoverboards to the wheelchair.
That's not too bad. - I could imagine riding that.
You could imagine riding that? - Absolutely.
We're on to something here! I believe in this!
Look at that, how nice! That's the starting point, then...
An attraction's not fun if it doesn't look fun. - The decoration's fairly important for the overall experience.
So this is just because it looks cool, and then you go around, around, around, 20 or 30 laps, until you feel like throwing up.
Does that make you want to ride it? - Sort of...
Won't I fall over at some point? - No.
I'm not going to put you through anything that's scary or dangerous.
This is, like, a ride with a competitive element to it.
You're supposed to ride this track faster than me.
And this ride is called... - "The Wheel Horse".
Uh, it's called "The Golden Chariot".
Welcome to "Flying High"!
Ah, gosh! Are we in a ball pit? Ah, look at that!
Go!
He's starting safe, stable, steady. I'm supposed to hear an exclamation of joy at every goalpost.
Woohoo! There was a stick, there.
Let's go, then.
Are we going? - We're going.
What do you think so far? - Well, it's...
That's right. Didn't see that one coming.
Yeah, this was... very middling.
Come on, now! Woohoo! Good! Woohoo!
Where the hell are we? There.
Three minutes. Well fought.
Very pleasant, Marcus.
This is gonna be exciting. - Yeah, to see if I beat you. Ah, no!
He's reaching the final stretch. He's picked up speed... - Woohoo!
And we've got the finale left, now. Fly high!
No, David! David!
You got 1:25 against my 3, so...
What'd you think? - Pleasant journey. Horse theme was fun, so...
Ah, good work. - Thanks.
You did mention earlier that I wasn't going to fall over in this. That it was a fairly calm and collected thing.
It surprised me too, that you got such a... - So it was a ride for you, too.
Nice to ride along on. Fly high. - Fly high.
Right, three people here went for the wheelchair option. Sussi...
How safe is that "Fly High" thing, really? - It's not particularly safe, as we noticed.
But it gets a grip on me throughout, that it should be a bit more challenging.
When you sent him down the hill, we did see that it can get dangerous.
And Marcus, the "Wheel Horse" never really took off. - No, it... it was so much faster in my head.
Seeing it now it was pretty slow, but as I remember it, we had a real breakneck ride.
Just Sofia's ride left, then. - Yeah... It certainly is.
Welcome, David, to this amazing ride! Here's what you'll be riding on.
And do you want to know what it's called? - I'd be delighted.
"Aqua Slide".
- "The Return of King Triton".
You ready, David? Let's go, Aqua Slide!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Is that a tiny smile? Was that kinda fun, David? - Thanks. Good work.
A hoot and a half?
Come again soon!
Have to give it to you, Sofia, there was a lot of action, but it did look a bit dangerous.
Yeah, but... danger and fun, they're close to each other.
You'll have to be a bit careful, since I actually haven't renewed your insurance.
Then it's time for me to judge which ride David thought was the most fun.
It's hard to put more than 1 point on your "Wheel Horse", I'm sorry. The logo was nice, but...
He did think it was fun, getting a bit of a break. - That's what I said.
2 points to "Fly High". - Really, not more?
The knocking-over did lower the grades. The level of safety was slightly subpar.
3 points for Nassim and Danny's "Golden Chariot".
That's what it usually is. - 4 points for Sofia's "Aqua Slide"
but 5 points for Anis' calling card...
For a swing? Right, right. You go to Liseberg [Gothenburg amusement park], and they've got the new swing...
By the way, what are we competing for tonight? - Well...
There's a lot of gadgets and material things everywhere these days
but what I find really cool to give away is an experience.
Since our contestants have been so nice as to let me ride their rides, I'd like to give something back:
an experience for these people tonight, so tonight's winner gets to ride this ride!
Free access for one entire hour!
Wow, wow, wow! An entire hour!
While that rides along, I have to wonder: What'll the next task be? - Oh, Babben.
Shall we dance? - No.
Hello! - Hi.
Sussie. Marcus. - Howdy, howdy.
Go ahead. - Let's go. You read.
"Do a synchronised dance to a chorus from a song that's topped the Swedish charts."
"You have 30 minutes to prepare your dance." - "Most synchronised dance wins."
"Your time starts now."
Hey, I'm picturing songs immediately. You too, right? - Yeah.
Bye, David! - Bye, David.
Good luck. - Thanks.
Right. So, the goal here was to choreograph and perform
the most synchronised dance to a song that's topped the Swedish charts.
And this is a team task. Nassim, you know what that means: since you're the guest, you're going to try to guess
which of these two teams does best in this task.
Could it possibly be your own couch there, with Marcus and Sussie?
Or these dance-happy youths, that is, Anis and Sofia? Who gets your vote?
Ah, so hard. - You've won "Let's Dance", right? [Sweden's Strictly Come Dancing]
And do think it over, because we've got a second place in "Let's Dance" on both couches.
Oh, Sussie too? Damn, couldn't tell.
What do you bet your points on? - Oh, I'm going to bet it right now?
I'm thinking... it'd be so fun if you did a good job, but I have no faith in you at all.
Honesty's not necessary. - But we've got two dancing geniuses over here, I think.
So you bet your 3 points on them, and the winning team can get 3 points each.
Right, who are we watching first? You've stamped the answer, now? Thanks. Who are we watching first?
Anis and Sofia in a cha-cha.
Anis?
What are you doing down here? - Something of a special.
"During the next task, secretly sabotage your team."
"If your team loses, you win. If your team wins, you get 0 points."
"If you get accused of sabotage, you get 0 points."
This is gonna be fun.
I'm leaving.
Swedish chart-topper...
Okay, let's see here...
We're going to win. We have to... okay.
Let's go for a golden oldie. Per...
♫ And here come all the feelings ♫ ♫ Simultaneously - we're taking that back ♫ [Per Gessle's "Här Kommer Alla Känslorna"]
Could give it a revival. And this is going to be so damn synchronised. Like, "Is that one person?", kind of.
Dammit... the song's not super fun, though.
But it's not about being fun, it's about being synchronised. - Yeah. Of course.
♫ 'Cause here come all the feelings ♫ ♫ Simultan- ♫
Sorry. Should we switch to two, then? - No, we've said one.
Yeah, but it's like it's stuck with me now. - Okay, but that's good.
♫ 'Cause here come all the feelings ♫ ♫ Simultan- ♫
Oh, please, that was two!
Yeah, we've got it. - Is it go time?
Oh no...
Are you kidding? What is this?
"During the next task, sabotage your team secretly."
"If you get accused of sabotage you get 0 points."
No!
Like... have you been trying to sabotage this? - Why would I be trying to sabotage this? We're supposed to win.
Ah, so rough! My god!
Like an Agatha Christie novel, with all these twists and schemes.
Anis, who could imagine that you got caught despite being so unbelievably discreet.
I thought it was so damn fun, doing this into the camera the whole time. - But you didn't suspect a thing, did you?
No, I was totally sure that you were gonna get duped.
Did you notice that I totally screwed it up when we showed it? - Yeah, but I thought you were serious.
So you never realised she was also trying to...
I was totally into the, like, "I'm being a mole, now. David told me this in confidence,. That's the way it is."
He'd never do this with Sofia. - But Sofia, how did you plan your sabotage?
Well, I was pushing the choreography pretty hard.
But then when we showed it, I noticed that he turned, he became a different person.
You caught him there, at least. But we'll watch the other team as well, and see how they do.
And even here, it's possible that a mole or two might pop up.
"Sabotage your team secretly."
"If you get accused of sabotage you get 0 points."
Okay. Bye, David. - Bye.
Ah, we should do something fast-paced, right? - Yeah, hey
What about that one... ♫ Michelangelo... ♫ - Yeah! There it is!
I'm dead, so I'll lie down like this.
You raise me from the dead, and then I wake up, and then we've got a dance that we do in front of this.
That's right. I'm Fredrik Lindström. [co-host of På Spåret]
This was rather opaque. I get- Sussie, what was your effort at sabotage?
Well, I thought he totally lost it, so I thought, "I'll do the routine we've planned."
Because that makes it my fault. Like, that makes it my fault as well...
...so I just let him ride along.
I felt so bad for you, because you were so nice and just went along with all my ideas. Like, "Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that."
And I'm thinking "This is gonna crash and burn." - But your sabotage was slightly more obvious.
But you didn't get caught. - No, I just thought he was happy.
His usual happy self? - Yeah.
So, the goal here was to make your team lose the task in the performance of this synchronised dance.
Anis and Sofia win that part, since you barely performed any dance at all.
So 3 points each, you're welcome.
But Anis loses his immediately, since you did get caught being the saboteur.
So Marcus and Sussie had the most synchronised dance, which unfortunately yields no points.
And you staked your chips on the wrong team, so no points for you either. How does this affect the total rankings, David?
So, it's like this: Anis and Sofia, with Sofia's 3 points, wind up in a shared first place.
With 9 points each, quite simply.
Then we've got Danny and Nassim with 8 points in second place. And then it's downhill for the rest, one might say.
Hard to keep up with it. - Yeah.
And with that we've reached the "Middle of the Show", the segment where we ask some questions to the week's guest, to get to know them a bit better.
Unfortunately we often know less after than before the interview, as it's performed by David Sundin.
Tricky one, there! Thank you, thank you. Lovely words, Babben... of course.
Right. So, I haven't had the time to... yeah.
Danny Saucedo.
"In the club"... - Yeah! Of course! Of course, we're gonna talk about that!
No, right, I'm supposed to sit down. Sorry. Continue.
One of your most appreciated songs, "In the club"...
What's it about, "In the club"?
You're just sticking with this? Okay.
Yeah, it's... it's about giving energy to the people.
And when you perform, you blow peoples' minds.
You just go, like, poof! Blow peoples' minds.
It's just "Dan-di-dansi-dance" for you, and that... that gives you credit. [Danny's entry for Melodifestivalen 2021]
So, you blow peoples' minds, right? - ...Yeah.
Yeah, but just a decent amount. Not too much. How funny that you should say that, Nassim...
That you bring up this thing about blowing peoples' minds, but not too much...
because it's now time to play "Mind your blowing"!
Right, it's time to play. Nassim, you've got a letter under the cushion you're sitting on.
Please pick that up and read it to your co-contestants.
"Inflate the balloon. You must wear the blindfold and the earmuffs"
"for the entire duration of the tasks. If your balloon breaks, you're disqualified."
"Biggest balloon wins. You have 60 seconds."
"Your time starts when David taps you on the shoulder." - So-
It's supposed to be inflated and tied. The one with the biggest inflated balloon...
Earmuffs on! - Wait, wait! Just let me take my snuff out before it's too late.
Are you ready? - Yes!
This requires extreme precision. Like, Zlatan-level precision. [Zlatan Ibrahimović - Swedish footballer]
Do I have the biggest one? No, I'll take that as a no. Ah, tying's the hard part...
It's supposed to be tied up in... - Yeah, but I've got real sweaty hands, David. Plus there's snuff on them.
Five, four, three, two, one, zero!
You can remove your earmuffs. Right, let's see.
This is SO important! - Marcus, it seemed to me that you were very close.
Am I right or wrong? - Very right, yeah.
Didn't one of those balloons over there pop? - No. It was a prank.
Nassim's balloon: biggest.
If I could just hold yours up next to Sussie's...
Which also isn't... - I said tying them up was the hard part, didn't I?
So Nassim's is the biggest, then Sofia's, then Sussie's, and... fiasco over here.
And that's how we play "Mind your Blowing".
Right. We can see in the division of the points here that Marcus and Anis got 0, unfortunately.
3 points for Sussie, 4 for Sofia and 5 for Nassim, and Danny. And Danny, of course.
With that said, I think we should breeze on along to the next task.
We certainly shall. And now, it's time to launch... but also, catch.
Hi, hi. - Due to arrive, now.
You've been longing for me a bit. I can tell.
"Make something that launches something."
"So that you can catch it without it touching the ground."
"Longest launched and caught object wins."
"You have 45 minutes, and unlimited attempts."
"Your time starts now." And you can't throw me anything? No...
Something that launches something? - Something that can...
Right. So, the goal here was to create some sort of thing that launched something,
and then catch this something without it touching the ground on the way.
Longest launched and also-caught object wins.
Who's our first launch guest? - Well, let me tell you... it's Marcus and Sofia.
This is actually pure physics. - Just pure physics.
The laws of physics working against my brain.
How am I supposed to be in two places at the same time? - Wait, here's one of these...
Yup. Now!
I see a bow over there.
It's like it's designed to launch something, and catch it.
Yup. Now!
Ohoho! We're working with this kind of power now, David!
Locked and loaded. Firing away.
See?
Why's it turning out so wussy? - Trying...
Should've been standing over there, huh. - What if I've got a long rope, and stand over there?
It's starting to work now, up here, in the brain.
Are you counting down, David? - Three, two, one, zero!
There! We've got a result, there.
That's one result. - Alright. I'm gonna throw it, then.
I didn't see where it went.
Where'd it go?
Did I get it? - Are you asking if you caught it?
Yeah. - No.
Then where's the ball? - Three minutes to go, on the dot.
Yeah! I touched it! - You're supposed to catch it.
But I did catch it, David! - 30 seconds left. Final launch.
I've got it! We have a result!
There was a bounce. - Just one bounce.
Three, two, one, go!
Good work. - Thanks, David. Cutting it close, there. Good thing the last one went that far.
Yes! Woohoo!
Incredible scenes.
Yes, what would a season of Bäst i Test be without a home-made catapult?
But you built something there, but then you didn't really use it.
I tried a couple of times, but it wasn't that far. So I thought if you, like, throw...
...and then run faster than you throw, somehow. But that's clearly not what you do.
But what's difficult about that? Not catching up to the ball? - What's difficult is that time is linear.
Right, what distances can we report here?
Marcus' best approved recorded distance was 7 meters.
And Sofia's gigantic, imposing medieval construction
unfortunately only managed 2 meters.
Let's move on. Who are we watching now? - Now it's time for Sussie and team Danny-Nassim.
I'd like to avoid not having to sprint that far. - Like you're already standing there?
Yeah, that would've been the best option. - Yeah.
I can make stuff out of this.
How could you know that that's the exact spot?
32 minutes left! So, when you let go of that...
Ah, come on!
Oh. - Oh. No...
I have faith in this. - Is there anything you'd like to change about this, now? If you see how it...
You've taped the rocket down!
Yeah, yes, there's some things that I'd actually like to... - A tiny detail.
Because you'd imagined the string to be free, I presume. But remember what you said recently...
"I have faith in this."
Hang on, now. There... now.
You learn something new every day, Danny. - Life is a journey.
Ah, this could be an absolute trainwreck... - I'd even go so far as to bet a little something...
On...? - On it being a trainwreck. I have an eye for that sort of thing, you see.
I did say that thing about... - Yeah, I know you said that!
Things are starting to get interesting, now.
You know what? That's certainly something. But you should've been standing over there.
Firing away! - No...
Do you wish that, the time you spent on this water project...
Damn, you read my mind. - ...that you would've had that time now?
Okay. - Good, Sussie!
No! Goddammit! - You've got time for one more. You've got time for one more!
It's now or...
No! - Ah, no!
...never.
Roughly 8 solid meters. Good work. - Yeah, thanks. Thanks.
That's something. - It's something, at least.
Yeah, there we have it. A lot of nice launches, no real catch.
But very nice to get to try this out. - And what a cool...
Yeah, nice. You can have it, actually. - Thanks.
Sussie, you created a remote-triggered solution. - Yeah...
It also scared you, even though you were the one to pull the string.
Didn't quite get along. But we did get results here, at least from Sussie, right?
We did. Close doesn't get any cigar, so Danny and Nassim unfortunately wind up with 0 meters.
Sussie launched and caught 8 meters, and thus rises to the top of this task. Just of this task.
So Anis just needs to beat 8 meters to possibly conquer the whole task, then.
Mhmm, very accurate.
This is really tough. - Thank you.
I need to, like, be coming...
If we just try this out once... - Here's an experimental release.
Okay, we just need to adjust the sights. Come on!
I'm a genius. - That was the flagpole?
So now, a tiny unicorn is... - The only thing standing between me and incredible victory.
No! - It was launched.
Yeah, just not far enough.
You've got 8 minutes to go now, and incredible prospects.
The unicorn is placed between the ball and the gutter with extreme precision.
No! - 1 minute and 40 seconds to go. He's reloading.
Ball in the basket. The ball in the gutter. - Ah, we're cheering for you now.
The unicorn is placed between the ball and the gutter with extreme precision.
Last attempt! Ball in the basket, the ball in the gutter. The unicorn is placed between the ball and the gutter with extreme precision!
Five, four, three...
two, one, zero.
Good work. Imagine if you'd been standing over there by the flagpole, huh.
That would've been... pretty damn sweet.
Ah, that wasn't too shabby, Anis.
Like, after this... when we dropped the ball and it flew that damn far the first time,
neither me or David believed our eyes. That's when I knew: One glorious day, I'm going to be Prime Minister.
I think so, too. - I dunno... I'm proud. It's one of the greatest moments of my life.
But wasn't this further than 8 meters? - You know what? It certainly was. 13.6 meters, to be exact!
Which means that Anis both launches and catches the five-pointer of this task.
Sussie nabs 4 points. Marcus gets 3. Sofia stays at 2 meters and 2 points.
And Nassim: 1 point for attendance.
You're here, after all! - What fun thing will we get up to next?
Well, I don't know about fun.
The time has finally come for our contestants to accept the consequences of their actions.
Finally.
Danny Saucedo, on my jetty!
Hiya... - Boys, are you ready?
Yes indeedy, start already. [Football chant]
"Put yourself through something daring, and then accept the consequences of your own actions."
"Most daring action"
" - the consequences of which are accepted in the most level-headed way - wins."
"You have 30 minutes. Your time starts now." Okay, okay, I... Come with me, I know, I know.
Right. So, the goal was to first do something daring, and then accept the consequences of your actions
in as level-headed a way as possible.
Not happy, not sad, just a completely level head, so to speak.
They were to remain unmoved, quite simply. And what stoics shall we be watching first?
A person I usually call Anis Don Demina.
Could it be that I sit down in a boat without an engine? - You'll go for a little boat ride.
Farewell.
Gondolier. - This was pretty nice, actually.
So, now, if I throw this into the water, then I don't know how to get back.
Pretty daring. - I'm a daring man.
Ah, oof. You're going to drift over to that family. So now you either jump, or go in your undies across the neighbours' lawn.
Hi, hi.
Good evening.
Now you're back, yeah. Where's your clothes? - Uh, they're... in the boat, I think.
The clothes drifted off in the boat? - ...Maybe.
Okay. Yeah, well... good work.
So, Anis, did you meet up with any neighbours there on the neighbours' lawn?
The funny thing was, when I went up there, it looked like he was having a stroke
because he, like, fell out on the porch when I got there. But then I was like "Hey", and I think he got it, after a while,
that, "ah, they're making some show in the neighbouring house", so they were, like, "Hi", and I was, like, "Hi", and moved on.
It was really weird, too. Why I was naked, it was pretty daring, but I don't put any particular stock in it. No joy, nor...
No, I thought you looked fairly unmoved, I have to say. And whose ability to handle consequences will we watch next?
That'll be Sofia "The Daller" Dalén.
There's nothing more daring than getting ketchup on white clothes.
Do you understand what consequence I'm prepared to take to win?
I really didn't think...
But you're accepting this with... - What's it called... a level head.
Ah, that was great. Fun to be a part of.
So what, then? So what? Yeah, some ketchup on your white outfit... what about it?
No, I don't care.
I've got a feeling there was a bit more splashing than you imagined, there.
I felt let down by David. Like, you can see that in my eyes, I was so let down.
But you'd asked him to do it. How could you feel let down? - I know, but... you can see how I felt left out and alone, there.
But I thought it was going to get it here, on the bust, but it went into my ear. Like...
And you did drop the mask a bit. Not just a level head, can't say that. Who are we watching now?
Right, it's time for Sussie. And I'd just like to take the opportunity to say, congratulations on the new arrival.
This seems to be an ultrasound. - Yeah. An ultrasound image of a boy.
And I've got two boys already, so then I have to write something, like...
"Three of a kind." - "Three of a kind." That's very good.
And then that's just going to go out... - Yeah, I'll just put this on social media. Simple as that.
Are you with me? - Yeah, time to go for it.
Look! - Three of a kind.
And then we just wait and see if the well-wishes... - Mhmm, just have to wait.
...and the comments start pouring in.
It could also be that there's zero reaction to this, and that you have to accept the consequences of that, so to speak.
Exciting. This is fun, I think. - Yeah. Look, something's showed up now...
"What?! Who?!"
How do you handle that? - Level-headedly.
"Huge congrats." And I did say that, that you might get some well-wishes.
And how do you handle this? - With total calm.
Sometimes, it feels like it's lapsing into enthusiasm. - No. No.
"Congratulations." And that's a large mother bunny holding a small bunny,
and "Congratulations".
One person here has opted to just do a thumbs-up. There's no comment, there's no heart,
no congrats, just "Sure". He handled that level-headedly, too.
Ah, I think it's a shame that my sons... - Are notable in their absence?
Yeah. Wait...
"Are you pranking us now, or what are you doing?" - Prank? Aren't you happy?
"I don't get what you mean." - You're going to be a big- [cracks up]
"God dammit, you're so terrible." - Yeah, I'm pretty terrible.
"Yeah, I had a slight heart attack at work. It's no problem." - No? Good.
"Kiss, kiss." - Kiss, bye.
A slight heart attack at work. Slight. That's still a consequence. Have to say that.
That was a pretty strong consequence, but as you see, it just runs right off me.
There! - I was thinking I'd remove it, now.
Ah, you're removing it. Yeah, okay.
All done with the consequences, now. Brilliant. Good work. - Removing it, now. Thanks.
Thanks.
My god, Sussie! What was your heart rate like during this? - Ah, it was awful!
Congratulations! - Ah, good work. Next daredevil?
None other than my Danny.
"Most daring action whose consequences will be accepted in the most"
"level-headed way wins. You have 30 minutes. Your time starts now."
Level-headedness. That's that you just... huh.
No!
What?!
How...
Was that daring enough? - Yeah...
And the consequence, also, is that I get really disappointed. - Ah, that's right.
But if I say I don't give a crap, is that level-headedness?
Look!
But, hey. Today was nice.
Really disappointed, and I got scared too, Danny Saucedo.
He did an excellent job here, the good Danny. Would you have had the guts to throw David into the lake like that?
Ah, it's so good! Ah, it's so...
I got a feeling, now. It's starting, now.
But we've got one left, right? - Yes, Marcus Berggren, who really burned for this task.
Okay. David? I'm going to set fire to the stuff. - The stuff?
Not the house. Like, my clothes.
I'm going to set fire to all my clothes. - You're setting fire to all your clothes.
Think I'll keep the shoes, to stay level-headed. - Go ahead.
The underpants are going last, but I'm doing it in a level-headed fashion.
Should've taken off my shoes first...
Nothing weird. Oh!
God damn, that was close! Or, I mean, that's no...
That was my best suit jacket. - But how's the trip home going to... I mean, you're going home, I presume?
Oh, I couldn't go with you today, could I? ...No.
No, that's no- No, I mean, that's no problem. I'll walk.
I'm handling it in a level-headed way. Nothing weird.
A wave's appropriate, right?
Right, Marcus, that's certainly consequences. How'd you get home that day?
I took the bus, actually. - But we're going to judge this, and...
This is what I think. I'll start at the bottom. Anis, I'm sorry.
Nicely level head, but fairly low-risk, still, compared to the rest.
Danny, Nassim, you risked your friendship with David.
Which isn't all that, really, but still.
Sofia, you get a three. That was a rough consequence
but you dropped your level-headedness a bit, unfortunately.
Sussie risked her good name and reputation in the country, and also had a bit of a tough time staying stoic.
But Marcus, suit jacket master: 5 points!
So how are things now? - Sofia hits 18 points and is in the lead.
Then we've got Sussie and Danny/Nassim in a split second place, 16 points each.
Anis 15, and Marcus, he's hanging in there, he's still fighting.
And remember, Marcus, anything can happen, and everything can change, because it's time for the finale.
And with that, the time has come for this show's finale.
And Nassim al Fakir, I'll ask you to read- The evening's guest of honor will read the letter.
"Karate chop-" Oh, okay! Wait, wait...
"Karate chop through as thick a bundle of spaghetti as you can."
"You have 20 seconds to create your bunch of spaghetti, and then one attempt to chop through it."
"If you fail to chop through your entire bundle of spaghetti, you'll be disqualified."
"Biggest correctly chopped-through bundle of spaghetti wins."
Are you ready? So, you're going to take up the pasta, and have time to place the rubber bands at the edges,
in 20 seconds from...
Did I have to throw everything on the floor? - Five, four, three, two, one...
Everyone's selected their thickness.
Then we'll start with Sofia Dalén, come right up. - I think this is harder than you'd think.
35.73 millimeters. - Can I get a little...
Am I going for it?
Yeah!
Sofia's through. Go ahead.
I chose to play it more safe. - Most of it's lying here, Anis. I don't know why...
Like, do you know how strong Sofia Dalén is?
26.02 millimeters. Go ahead. - All the precision.
Nassim al Fakir, come right up.
Now, I think we're in a situation where I haven't quite understood.
That... - That's one pack of pasta.
Ah... - Nassim. 69...
You have to go all the way through for something to come of this.
Go ahead.
So, it is the case that not all the pasta has been chopped through.
This is intact pasta, unfortunately. Good effort, of course.
Then let's welcome Sussie to the plate. She might've taken a bit too much.
But I had to, like, go for it. - 54.49.
Almost 5.5 centimeters, there it is. Here comes Sussie Eriksson, going for the gold!
Chopped straight through, right? - Very, very many did not break.
Oh, huh. - Let's give our thanks to Sussie.
Marcus Berggren. - Yes. Wow...
He carries it like the last drop of water, his little pasta stump. We'll measure...
43.91 millimeters. Almost 4.4 centimeters.
If you chop straight through this, Marcus, you're the winner of the finale.
That would've been nice, actually. Okay. Okay, I'll just go for it.
And as far as I can see, only spaghetti halves. Nice, Marcus!
Come back. Time for you to get some points.
And then, David, I'll ask you this:
What happened, and did anything change in this finale? - Oh, stuff's happened. Stuff's happened, I'll tell you that.
This is the deciding moment. This is when we'll get to see who gets free access to the ride for an hour. Incredibly exciting.
Marcus chopped through the thickest bundle of pasta, bar none.
5 points to Marcus.
And this means that he holds onto and secures his fifth place tonight.
I accept that level-headedly. - Really level head there, Marcus. Thank you greatly.
Sussie and Danny/Nassim...
Both bit off slightly more than they could chew, were disqualified, and get 0 points.
Both wind up with 16 points, which makes it a split third place.
A split third? - Split third place.
And then we've got Anis and Sofia left.
Anis had a slightly thinner one, but got points, of course. 3 points, up to 18 points.
Sofia, slightly thicker pasta, a whole 4 points. She ends up with...
22 points! Sofia Dalén wins tonight's show!
You're welcome to step right up, of course. Step right up! Get on, get on!
So what have we learned from tonight's show? Well, a bicycle-swing gives you the most bang for your buck.
Moles are real dance saboteurs. And it's not easy to catch your own launch.
See you next Friday at 20:00, and have a good one until then!
