It's Friday, and time for yet another riveting episode of Bäst i Test,
the show where haywire humourists get strange tasks,
which they solve to the best of their abilities.
And the crew embarking onto deep waters this season are:
Our helpful helmsman, Marcus Berggren!
The charming ship's cat, Sussie Eriksson!
The sonorous sailor, Anis Don Demina!
Our nice navigator, Sofia Dalén!
And back for revenge,
our festive figurehead, Johanna Nordström!
And tonight we'll have highs, but mostly lows,
and see, among other things, this!
Wait, what am I supposed to do with it?!
Why am I built wrong?
First liposuctioned bear in space.
Private jet. Let's go.
I'm going crazy.
Welcome, welcome!
Hello there, my lovely panel.
Y'all doing well here?
Doing great!
And Johanna, an extra large welcome.
Ah, thanks, thanks, thanks. No, cut it out, cut it out.
And you know why you're here?
It's been made exceedingly clear, yes.
You got last place.
Yeah. Yeah, it seemed that way.
But you're here for revenge.
You know, I was really certain that I'd get revenge. And...
now, I maybe don't quite feel like that.
No? Okay.
I can say this:
Someone who knows what it's like to be in life's last place
is this strange little man next to me.
And his name is David Sundin.
Thank you, thank you.
Wow, those're lovely words, Babben.
Ah, touches my heart a bit, actually.
After all, we've done this together for many, many years now...
...and the way you get to know another person when you're this close, that's-
No sappy nonsense, now. Just get going.
Of course. Of course.
We'll start this by sending a letter.
Welcome.
Hi, hi!
Someone got mail, huh?
What a nice, big letter.
Thank you, thank you.
"Transport this letter as far away as possible."
"You may not leave the shed."
What?
"You have 60 minutes."
"The one who transports the letter furthest from the shed wins."
"Your time starts now."
But... but how...?
Yes, a classic Johanna reaction, if one may say so.
So, the goal was to move the slightly oversized letter
as far from its original position as possible, but
you, yourself, were not allowed to leave the shed that you were located in.
Johanna looked like she might've needed that hour to understand her task
so we can start with a few other postal carriers.
Absolutely.
The first ones to step up to their stamps are Marcus and Sussie.
Okay, transport...
Wait a minute... If I have the pressure washer,
and I crumple it into little balls...
In that case, it's the closest one...
I'll make one large ball out of the entire letter,
and then I'll take the pressure washer...
And then you might get... there.
How can you know that?
How about a catapult?
Don't we have one of those, like, resistance bands?
I'm still in the experimental stage.
You understand that, right?
Please, please, David,
could you hook up the water there?
Sure. If you say: "David..."
"...I think you're right in saying it's going to go this far, at the most."
But I don't understand how- I mean, you can't see the future, David.
Bit of a shame, for this lovely letter.
Sad.
Ah, this is so smart.
I'm actually impressed by my own smartness.
It's great to see, actually.
Have to do that for a fairly long time.
Yeah, it has to be soft, and...
...pliable.
Yeah, exactly.
Now, we'll fill this up.
Johanna Nordström fills The Globe Arena.
I fill a beach ball with paper strips.
What's going on?
Now, I accidentally taped over the place that
I'm supposed to blow the air into afterwards.
You've been doing this for 35 minutes, now.
Interesting!
Okay, Sussie.
Now, give this your all.
For all the time you've spent on this, make it worth it.
Roughly according to my prognosis, I'd say.
Slightly longer, though.
You got over here, Sussie.
Okay. Yeah...
Good work, Sussie. - Thanks, David.
Over.
Good. Good work. - Thanks, David.
Right. Lot of work for not a lot of payoff, simple as that.
Sussie, you brought out the old herding calls, there.
There was something about that, sitting down to work.
And Marcus, was it the terrible plan or the bad execution that you...
A combination, Babben.
But how far did these two letters travel?
Marcus' beach ball landed 8.6 metres from the shed.
That was marginally further than what I predicted,
so that was slightly cool to see.
Sometimes, even I can be wrong, so slightly fun.
Sussie hurled the letter a whopping 19.2 metres.
Thanks, thanks.
In that case, I'd like to take a peek at Anis and Sofia.
And so we shall.
Why haven't I got my phone?
Can I borrow your phone?
That'll be a no. - No!
Can you go get my phone? - That'll also be a...
No! Come on...
One of these, and you attach the letter properly here.
Yeah, yeah, this is doable.
Oh, the ideas are starting to hit me, now.
Fun to see as it happens.
Imagine this, huh:
a remote-controlled car.
Is there one of those?
No. Sorry.
You with me?
Go ahead.
Was this your attempt, do you think?
Could you go get it? - No.
45 minutes left.
If we can get it back home, we've got one more attempt.
I'm going to cut a bit. Can I?
Be my guest.
That's what I thought I was.
This almost became a new task:
"Get the letter from over here."
Oh!
It's attached to the handle!
No!
I'm glad that I don't have my phone.
This is a real challenge.
Got the whole letter in there? - Yes.
Okay!
You've been given one more chance.
You're going for the same...?
Ah, I can do better.
Ladies and gentlemen...
No, wait! I can do a test-
I'll just do a test kick with another ball.
Of course.
Just a test ball, to feel it out.
Yeah- ahh.
But lot of force behind that one.
That was very close.
It got kind of dented.
Great hit, onto it.
Test ball.
But, like- Why am I built wrong?
But what?!
I want the ball over there!
Three out of three balls have, so far, hit the tree.
It's been a long time since you were THAT far off.
You can stop whenever you want.
"Quitters never win", a wise man once taught me.
Exactly. Exactly.
Locked and loaded.
Ladies and gentlemen: Sofia Dalén at kickoff.
What the hell...
It hit the rock.
Little bit of a brake.
No, I don't have any more throws in me.
So for 55 minutes you've been standing here, throwing,
but enough is enough now?
You know what a wise man once said?
"Quitters never win."
"Quitters never win, unless you quit right at the end,"
"'cause, in that case, it's fine"
"to just drop everything."
Good work.
I need to be on my own for a bit.
Anis, you created a new task within the task, one might say.
Yeah, that's a new show that's coming up: "Test i Test".
What lengths can we measure here?
Fairly even, let me tell you.
Anis wound up with 14.5 metres,
but Sofia kicked her letter 2 decimetres longer,
a whopping 14.7 metres.
So these two in the little couch place themselves
between Sussie, who remains in the lead,
and Marcus, who remains last.
Time for Johanna, then, right?
You know what? I was just thinking the exact same thing.
Welcome back to the game,
Johanna "The Northern" Nordström!
Can I call a taxi?
If you've got your phone.
Should I go with it, maybe?
Go to Arlanda, give it to a person who's going on a plane...
This is good. We're off. Go.
I can't leave the shed.
But wait... Damnit, this is an amazing thing.
Alright, let's call a taxi.
Welcome to Taxi's new digital service.
No, I don't want a digital service.
Can't I just talk to a regular person?
When do you want the taxi?
Now.
Would you like to specify any additions, such as increased luggage space,
child's car seat, or animal accompaniment?
No...
No, that's fine, thank you.
Maybe you can't- No!
NO!
A text will soon arrive with a confirmation of your order.
Okay, we'll get it to some address.
I'll call Edvin to check.
Hi!
I'm recording a thing.
Okay, but, hey-
Could you accept a letter there?
Uh, yes.
Great. Bye.
Ah, I smell gold.
Okay. It's ten kilometres, at least.
Longer than if you tried to throw it.
Anyone who does that is, like...
Ah, this is gonna be great. Bye!
Hi!
Great! Hey, could you head out now?
Yeah.
Oh, here comes a taxi.
Great. Then just accept the letter, and...
...Pay.
And- that's right, you have to pay.
What's wrong with you?
You're so goddamn nuts.
Okay, right, I'll pay, then.
How- how much did it cost?
425. [£35]
Ah, that's not too bad.
That's not too bad.
Huge thanks for the help.
Good work.
Welcome out from the shed.
We can tell that you have Bäst i Test experience.
A taxi solves a lot of problems.
And she had her phone.
That was my dream.
You're living my dream.
But how far did this letter go, then?
Well, Johanna's good friend Edvin Törnblom was
located at Döbelnsgatan in Stockholm's centre,
so the letter got to go 9,800 metres,
which is 9,780.8 metres further than Sussie's letter,
which was the second furthest, one should say.
So 5 points get mailed straight to Johanna's account.
4 gets sent to Sussie. Sofia brings home 3 points.
Anis brings home the 2.
And Marcus, an unstamped envelope, with 1 point.
And what's the next task about?
This is actually going to be slightly embarassing for me, I have to say.
I was slightly under the weather and absent-minded that day, actually.
Hi! You're here?
Hello!
Hello.
Go ahead and sit down.
Thanks.
My bow tie...
My clipboard...
My stopwatch...
My jacket...
Oops! My shoes...
Where was he going?
This might look slightly strange,
but this was a test of the competitors' honesty.
I left the room speedily,
and we wanted to see how long it took for the contestants to read the letter
even though I wasn't there, which, of course, is...
Illegal. - Illegal, yes, exactly, thank you, Babben.
The result, let me tell you, was equal parts startling and shocking.
Who will we start with?
We can start with everyone but Johanna.
You'll get to see how they acted.
Shameless, I'm telling you. Look at this.
David?
Right. He doesn't have to be here when you read the letter, right?
"Leave the room as fast as you can. Fastest wins."
"Your time starts when David leaves the room!"
Good work.
- Thanks.
Is this the task?
No...
Yeah, it is. Or...?
I'll check.
"Leave the room as fast as you can. Fastest wins."
"Your time started when David left the room."
Good work.
That was a tricky one.
Thank you, thank you.
Look at that, look at that!
When the rat's away, they go for it.
Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you.
How long could they restrain themselves?
Well, Sofia waited, in a well-behaved fashion,
for 3 minutes and 23 seconds.
Fairly good self control, among this scandalous bunch,
but for the others, this was a ruthlessly quick affair.
Sussie clocked in 32 seconds.
Anis, 3 seconds faster.
And Marcus' patience turned out to be the shortest of all.
It took him 14.7 seconds.
Lawless!
This means that Johanna needs to beat 14.7 seconds to win
and she has to be faster than 3 minutes, 23 seconds to not get last place.
But she's an anarchist, she'll be out of that room before you know it.
God, so awful.
How long can it take?
Or is this some thing, now?
Because I can't be bothered, if it is.
Should I open the letter, then?
I'm going...
I'm going crazy.
Should I open the letter?
I'm gonna do it, now.
No, goddamnit! This is so bad! No!
Good work.
Like... this wasn't nice.
I sat there for so long.
Yeah.
Well, I stood here for so long, so...
And no-one did anything!
No one asked.
No one was like:
"God, he's gone for so long. Should we quit rolling?",
I thought they'd say. No.
Good work.
Thanks...
Oh...
Right. That's the downside of bringing your phone, actually. You...
You took the opportunity to scroll through your feed a bit.
I think I was doing a bit of shopping.
Sitting there, like: "Ah, maybe a new pair of shoes."
But what patience I had!
Like, my parents have always told me: "You're so impatient."
Check this out, I'll tell them. - Exactly.
But how long did this take?
It might not have looked too long in this clip,
but Johanna hung in there for an entire
13 minutes and 16 seconds.
5 points to the master of failed impulse control, Marcus Berggren!
After that, it's 4 for Anis, 3 for Sussie, 2 for Sofia, and...
...1 point, because you were there, and you waited, and thank you very much.
By the way, what are we competing for tonight?
Tonight's winner will receive a cheque for a whopping 796 krona [£65],
one krona for every second Johanna waited before she opened the letter.
Slightly symbolic.
Lovely.
Right, what are we going to do now?
Now, we're actually going to do two things at the same time.
Howdy, David! Good to see you.
"Do two things at the same time."
"One of the things has to start with the letter 'A'."
"The other has to start with the letter 'B'."
"Most impressive multitasking wins."
"You have 20 minutes."
"Your time starts now."
I could... breathe and take a dump ['Andas' and 'Bajsa'],
but that's not too impressive.
Right. Let's do it the usual way, then.
We'll start with no planning.
Exactly.
Bye, David.
"David" - that starts with a "D".
That's a shame.
Right, so, the goal was to do the complicated task of 'two things at the same time'.
One should start with 'A' and the other with 'B'.
And the most impressive multitasking,
according to the almighty Babben, wins.
And who will get the chance to impress first, here?
Guests go first, as I usually say.
And we can carry it over there,
and I'll just pour a crapload of gasoline onto this.
Here.
There.
Has to be a lot.
Oh god, it's a manual car.
Which one's the clutch?
Left?
Like, I've got a driver's license.
I'm telling you.
Which one's the gas, then?
This feels dangerous, Johanna.
No, god, this is so dangerous.
Right. Good work.
Thanks.
Right, Johanna.
Did that car have a lot of pedals?
Yeah, but I...
Yeah, there was a lot of stuff to keep track of.
One extra.
Yeah, but I think it's so tough...
Automatic transmission is a lot more...
Accelerate, brake...
Take it from a car expert, Johanna: Automatic is a lot easier.
I think that's what you're driving at.
But which things starting with 'A' and 'B' did you do here?
I applied fire...
and backed up, at the same time. ['Antände' and 'Backade']
Nice.
That's multitasking.
Alright, David.
Who will be watching now?
We'll take a look at Anis, the song-and-dance man.
Go right ahead.
Thanks.
Nice to hear you play your latest single, Anis.
♫ Oh, David Sundin, David Sundin ♫
♫ His name is David Sundin! ♫
♫ David Sundiiin! ♫
Good work. - Thanks.
I don't get this, Anis - did you get other letters?
Because what I saw was rolling and off-key singing.
Which things starting with 'A' and 'B' was this? I don't get it.
Breathing and taking a dump?
One might think so.
It might've been.
No, okay, I'll help you.
Balance was one, and the other was...
Accompany!
Good. Nice.
An unusual combo, actually.
Now it's time for Sofia Dalén.
I hereby dub thee...
David...
It's not supposed to touch, right?
Yeah, it- didn't I do that?
Okay, let's start over.
I hereby dub thee,
David Kaj Lennart Sundin,
as a knight of the Bäst i Test order.
Thank you.
For 'A', you'll say...?
Knight. [Adla]
And for 'B'?
Bench.
Right, then. Who's up next?
Here comes Sussie!
This is going to be great.
Beaver to rat. Beaver to rat.
Good, Sussie. You're onto something here.
Sussie?
Go ahead.
Marcus Berggren... [bleep] damn piece of crap!
Marcus Berggren... Goddamnit!
Did you know that he's got a... [bleep]
What's going on here?
[bleep] ...is a goddamn... [bleep]
Good!
Good. Good work.
Thanks, David.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
That's right!
What did we just see?
Didn't you notice that it was a huge 'accusation'?
What'd you accuse him of, then?
I can't remember.
No, I've forgotten what it was.
But an accusation. And 'balling', yes.
But you were juggling!
No, I was balling.
Just balling a bit.
A bit of balling's allowed, right?
We've got one multitasker left, right?
Then it's time for Marcus to dive into this task.
You pleased with that? - I'm gonna get some glitter.
Oops.
Alright! I'm done. - Thanks. Good work.
Goddamnit, that was so nice!
Exactly like I wanted it.
I've forgotten how to swim.
Woo!
Right, Marcus. Sounds like it was a slightly brisk bathing season.
We recorded this in November.
So, bathing and face painting. [Ansiktsmålning]
I was painting a picture of my aunt, actually.
She hasn't got a great face, to put it one way.
On top of your face.
So, an ugly face on an ugly face,
like how a double negative makes a positive.
Didn't quite turn out that way.
It's great being here.
1 point for Sussie.
Juggling and talking simultaneously... I've seen it before.
But 2 points go to backing up and applying fire.
Yes.
3 for Sofia,
who I thought still had a creative combination,
with the knighting there.
4 for Anis, congratulations-
Wait, does this mean he gets 5?!
Sit down!
Gosh, it was nothing.
Lovely to have you here.
Babben, go ahead.
How do the total standings look, here?
Well, it's pretty exciting and very even, let me tell you.
We've got a shared third place,
Sussie, Johanna and Sofia, all with 8 points.
Anis, 10 points in second place. Marcus, 11 points, in the lead.
Marcus deserves it.
He's struggled with the other ones.
And here, in the middle of the show- you know what's next, Johanna.
We take the opportunity to get to know our guest a bit better.
Nothing odd about that.
What's odd is that this part of the show is still being handled by
the greatest presence at the bottom of SVT's barrel, David Sundin.
Wow, Babben!
Thank you, thank- "greatest", that's saying something!
Thank you, thank you for that.
And Johanna, a pleasant reunion.
And we do already kind of know you,
since you've been here before and such, but
it's still possible to get to know someone...
on a... deeper level, huh?
Everything good with you, otherwise?
Yeah, it's great.
Super.
I'll write "great".
And you do stand-up.
Still pushing with that?
Still fighting.
Struggling.
You know, Johanna, you can ask me and Babben,
if there's something... if you need some tips
about how to pull a crowd, and...
we'll be there for you. We'll coach you.
Lovely. Nice, nice, nice.
And you're very concerned about the future,
and the environment, and such. Right.
You want to leave a planet for your children,
and your grandchildren.
Which it's about time for now, right?
Starting to consider that.
The environment or children?
Ah, that's not important for this survey.
But still, interesting to hear that you
care so much about the environment
and consider our planet and sea so much, it's nice of you
because it's now time to play "She sells three Kjells"!
Oh god, they keep coming!
That's right, that's right.
Right, then. Johanna, you've gotten a letter.
You can read that to everyone else.
"Sort out the median Kjell."
"Divide the Kjells behind you into three categories:"
"Slightly older Kjells, slightly younger Kjells, and the median-Kjell."
"Correct median Kjell gives 3 points."
"You may ask a question of your choosing to a Kjell of your choosing."
"The Kjell will only answer with thumbs up, or thumbs down."
"Select your Kjell on David's signal."
We're going to sort the Kjells behind here into three categories:
the slightly older Kjells,
the slightly younger Kjells,
and then there'll be one left,
since we have an uneven amount of Kjells here.
That will be the median Kjell,
namely the one that gets placed between the group of
slightly younger Kjells and slightly older Kjells.
But first and foremost, you can ask one question each.
We'll start with Marcus,
who gets to ask one question to a Kjell of his choosing,
who will answer yes or no. Go ahead, Marcus.
Kjell 4.
What do you think about Lasse Stefanz' latest record?
Mediocre! Mediocre.
Sussie.
Kjell number 6.
Do you have grandchildren?
He does, but he hates them.
Johanna asks her question.
Right, Kjell number one.
Do you know... who... Joakim Lundell is?
Yes.
Okay, okay. Interesting. Interesting.
Anis, please ask a question.
Kjell number 7.
'Sup?
Yeah, it's good.
Helpful. Thank you.
Kjell number 8.
Are you below 50?
Okay.
Thanks. - Not below 50.
You've asked your questions,
so now you're going to contemplate,
and write down the number between 1 and 9,
of the person you think will be in the middle.
Number 3 does still look... - Ten!
Oh, have we started?
Five, four, three, two, one...
Okay. Let's see, then.
Marcus?
4.
You put down Kjell number 4. Sussie?
Kjell number 4.
Two guesses for Kjell number 4.
Johanna?
7. - Kjell number 7.
Anis?
Same. 7.
We've got two for Kjell number 7.
And Sofia?
My favourite, Kjell number 8.
In that case, let me ask everyone but Kjell number 4,
Kjell number 7, and Kjell number 8,
namely our guesses,
to stand, respectively, in the order of slightly younger Kjells
and slightly older Kjells.
Okay. May I ask Kjell number 7 to get into his correct position?
No! - I knew it, I knew it.
May I ask Kjell number 4 to get into position?
This means that...
the median Kjell
is none other than Kjell number 8!
3 points for Sofia Dalén!
Huge congrats, Sofia!
Well sorted. I have to give you that. - Thanks. Thanks.
And that's how we play "She sells three Kjells".
Right! So, that makes it 3 points for Sofia, and zero for the rest.
And Sofia was at a shared third place,
but advances to a shared first place with Marcus, with 11 points!
Bit cool, that.
Wow! - Thanks.
Let's move on, then.
And when I've sorted out my Kjells at home, I usually think to myself:
"Ah, it'd be nice to unwind with a task afterwards."
Know what, Babben? I think so, too.
Now, it's time to wait by the phone.
"Take care of this phone and await further instructions."
"Your time starts now."
Wow, what an oldie.
Oh, it has Snake!
This is super exciting.
So, the goal was to guard the phone
and be prepared for further instructions,
which could arrive at any moment of any day,
smack in the middle of our competitors' vast game of life.
Would it be the same day, the next day, or weeks later?
No one knew.
But if there's one thing that distinguishes these five people,
it's their ability to wait and be patient.
But what instructions were they supposed to receive?
Right. These ones.
"Enter this video chat. https://..."
Yeah, it's a link.
"You must be dressed as Santa Claus."
"You must also, for the entire duration of the task,"
"pretend that you are Santa Claus."
"The person who first joins the video chat wins."
"Bonus points for the best Santa."
"Your time starts now."
Okay. So the instructions arrived like a bolt from the blue a few weeks later,
without anyone being ready?
And it wasn't Christmas, so...
No, you didn't necessarily have a Santa suit at hand.
I'm curious about how this video meeting turned out, then.
Right. I think we should check that out.
Let's see, then.
Hello?
It's Santa Claus.
Can you turn on your camera?
Sorry, someone wants to join the room, now...
Who am I speaking to?
It's Santa.
Hello, Santa. How are you?
Slightly stressed, these days.
Wait, who just joined?
Uh, Santa Claus.
Wow! That's kind of-
Looks like I've got two Santas on the line.
But you're Santa Claus?
Everything going well, with the reindeer and all that?
Yeah. Yeah. My god, everything's going so well.
Two people from Småland here, I can tell.
But Santa is from Småland?
Because I thought Santa lived up north.
No, Santa's relocated a little during the year.
I agree.
Both Santas agree.
Yeah. But I'm the real Santa.
What's on your head?
It looks like a leftover Christmas napkin at the side of the table.
Wow. You got caught.
Who do we have here?
Good day, Santa. Wow, what an honour.
Any good kids in the house?
Oh, sure. One or two, I'd say.
I think you look like that guy,
Anis Don Demina, from Melodifestivalen, actually.
No good kids here, I feel.
There seem to be a difference of opinion regarding who's Santa Claus.
We're just discussing.
There's only one, and it's me. Ho-ho-ho!
Someone wants to join the room.
Ho ho! Father Christmas speaking to you, David!
Yes, David, there is a Santa Claus.
We've been here for three hours, waiting for you.
I was chowing down at the Pelican.
I mean I was on the North Pole, eating with the penguins!
One Santa's sliding out of frame.
You'll have to go back to working at the mall!
Good work!
Almost everyone showed up here eventually.
And Johanna, you got in there very quickly.
You as well, Sofia. Quick as a flash.
But Sussie, where were you?
Well, I... didn't quite have the time.
Okay. I think Anis, you were also doing something...
Anis wasn't there. I just saw three women and Santa.
Santa was slightly off season, as it's called.
He's got different responsibilities before November.
I'd like to see some points for this.
That would be nice, huh.
As we could tell, Sussie was notable in her absence.
Marcus was very slow, and used toilet paper as Santa's beard,
but still showed up, so that's 2 points.
Anis nabs the 3-pointer
What about these girls at the top, then?
I think Johanna gets 5 points,
but I also think Sofia does,
because she gets 4, plus a bonus point for best Santa suit.
Yes.
Good Småland accent too, right?
Right? I think I'm onto something, there.
We'll sort out the accent enigma later.
What's up next?
Now, you see, it's time for a cavalcade of grandiose adventures
with a teddy bear taking centre-stage.
Howdy-doody.
Right, I'll read.
"Take the bear on an adventure."
"Best adventure wins."
"You have 60 minutes."
"Your time starts now."
Wow...
Let's go, then!
Have you started the clock and that? - Absolutely.
Bye, David!
Bye.
Right, this revolved, quite simply,
around taking the bear on the best adventure.
Right. I think I'll start by watching Johanna and Sussie.
Absolutely. Here comes their adventure, then.
There's boats around here, right? - Yes, indeed.
Now, bear, we're going on a fishing adventure.
Like, a real- like, you're going to catch a fish, now.
Now, you're going to get to be on a real, real adventure.
You're going to get to, like, get up high places so you can look around.
Waiting's a large part of fishing, you understand, bear.
Patience is a fisherman's best friend.
Okay, you can come down now!
And what did he get to see, then?
The castle of Drottningholm.
We're going to go to the home of King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia.
What an adventure! And he's going to get to meet them?
I can't promise that. But we're going to sneak up on them and see.
And it's- wow! Teddy! Teddy!
What an adventure!
Okay, let's just get it off the hook, then.
Johanna, just get it-
God, wait- oh my god! David!
Don't fall off. Grab it.
Hey- no, no, no!
God, wait, what am I supposed to do with it?!
Just hold it, like that...
Oh god, so unnerving! Wow.
Let's get going, then. - Right.
Stay close, David.
Okay! Look at that.
Hey- get down!
The flag's hoisted at the castle.
That means they're at home.
Bear, now we're going to head out... to catch big fish.
Yeah. Wow! Let's go, David!
Keep up.
Okay. Get your swimming trunks on, bear,
because it's time to go.
One...
two...
three!
Ah...
He's loving it.
Absolutely loving it.
Shit, he's really floating away quickly.
We'll pick you up soon, bear.
See that? Here comes the German tourists again.
We'll have to throw them off somehow.
We're keeping a low profile.
Das foto?
Fotograf.
Tourist.
Bist wunderbar Turistfoto... - There. Right, come along.
Come on, come on...
Careful, careful...!
No, no, no...
Johanna...
Johanna!
I'm sorry! - But what an adventure, being shipwrecked.
And getting lost at sea.
No, no, no, guards are coming.
Okay, we've gotta bolt! Come on, come on!
No, it's still going. Now!
Ah, kid.
He'll have to get to the sauna soon.
He's incredibly hypothermic after this adventure.
Imagine, the things he's getting to experience.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Wow!
Should we summarise the adventure?
Started with some fishing.
Free bathing in the sea. - In the great outdoors.
And then a trip to the sauna.
Yeah, a sauna afterwards.
I'm terribly sorry, bear, and David,
but unfortunately we're not going to get closer than this.
Incredibly close. - Yeah, we are. We are.
But I've got a last check,
a small peek we're going to do, him and me.
So let's see if they're at home.
Wow, wow, wow, Sussie.
How close did you get to the King and the Queen?
No, but, like, we were super close.
Me, the teddy, and David.
Eerily close, actually.
And when we knocked there, who knows...
"Not again! She's here again!"
And Johanna, have you done a lot of fishing?
I don't want to sit here and brag,
but, like, no, I haven't.
Right. Okay. Who's up next, then?
It's time for Anis and Marcus to give the bear a really tremendous day.
Right. So, the bear's going to go to space.
Just have to start inflating balloons, then.
My name's Anis Don Demina. I'm sitting here with David Sundin.
We're recording a show called Bäst i Test.
Have you heard of it? - Uh, no.
There's been a dog in space,
which the Russians sent up,
but this is probably the first bear.
We're recording a show called Bäst i Test. Have you heard of it?
Uh, no, I haven't heard of it.
Have you heard of me? I was the runner-up in Let's Dance.
Uh, yeah. I've heard of you.
I'm the one calling.
It's customary to release a test balloon,
to see which way it's blowing.
Right. - Seems to be that way.
I've got a tiny teddy bear that I have to bring an adventure,
and I'm thinking the best adventure, which no one will be able to beat
is if I can show this teddy bear the cockpit of an aeroplane.
This is starting to build some pressure, now.
The line's growing taut.
It wants to get going. You feel that?
Does he have a name? No, I'll just call him Ralf.
Great, see you soon. Thanks a million, you're the king.
Yes. No problem.
"You're the king!" "Yes."
It's a shame, not getting to go along.
I've always wanted to see space.
You think this is going to be enough? - Yeah.
So, this is the bear, and here's where the jet-set experience starts.
First off: A high-class private jet. Let's go. Welcome aboard.
Ah, look at that!
He's slightly too heavy.
Screw the suit, then. He's doing it nude.
This is an adventure. See, bear?
You haven't done this before?
Been in the cockpit of a small... - Small?!
...A fairly big... - Fairly big.
Private... - Jet.
Maybe ditch the helmet,
but then he's going to suffocate in space.
You win some, you lose some.
This is Kerstin the helicopter.
Iconic helicopter.
It's gone through both one thing and three others. "She's", sorry.
Sorry, but this is a part of the adventure.
I don't think he can feel anything.
No!
Just consider it a gastric bypass, Ralf.
First liposuctioned bear in space.
No, maybe not that much shooting.
Come on, Ralf!
Up, up and away!
Ralf!
Hi, it's me and the bear.
Perform spider check, hornpipe, plus lightblock.
Radio call SE, JXP emergency.
Position light.
Sorry, Ralf.
We'll put you back together later.
Three... two- you with me, Ralf?!
...one... zero!
Oh, oh, oh! - No, no, no!
Goddamnit, Ralf...
Don't think you need to be in the air, actually.
No. That could be fatal.
This is an adventure in itself.
Oh!
Wow, wow.
This is high up enough, I'll tell you that.
Five minutes left!
No!
Get up! Get up!
Now! - Woohoo!
First bear in space!
Have fun, now!
Wow!
Ralf, we're keeping your body down here until you get back!
There, bear.
Do you think he's satisfied? - I mean, he's passed out.
Good work. - Thanks, David.
Wonder if he'll ever come back.
I can't actually see him anymore.
Right. Went all in on the aviation theme, here.
And Marcus, what do you think will be Ralf's strongest memory of this day?
There was a substantial bear trauma, one might say.
I did disembowel him and send him into the stratosphere,
but still, pretty cool that he went flying.
There's just one adventure guide left, right? - Sure is.
Now it's time to see what Sofia Dalén and Bearson the Bear got up to.
Swimming hall? No, that won't be any good.
Padel? That's dying out, right?
VR? Should we check VR out?
Jenny. - Hi, Jenny, I'm Sofia.
And I'm going to take a stuffed bear on an adventure.
I'll call my boss and check with the workers, and I'll see what I can do.
I'll call you back.
Nice, thank you. Thanks.
Let's get a backup plan.
Bowling centre? God, that's nice.
Bowling. Åke.
Howdy, Åke! It's Sofia.
I was thinking, could we go bowling?
Go ahead.
I've got- Åke, can I call you back really soon?
Hello, yes?
Hi! We can have people there in half an hour, if you want.
Thanks a million for the help! Thank you, bye.
But what about Åke, then? Åke with the bowling?
But is Åkeshov close to...?
It's on the way.
No! My shoe!
Come on, now.
Yeah! - Nice, bear! Nice, high five!
What an adventure... but we're moving on.
We're moving on. VR!
Whoa, whoa...
Okay, we've landed in some... - Whoa...
Okay. Bear. Follow me.
The bear looks like he's under the weather.
He feels great. It's his adventuring day.
You go first. You're glowing.
You didn't expect this, this morning, bear.
Alright, let's take the elevator.
There were rats, there.
Doing alright, bear?
Enjoying it so far?
"Yeah."
Come on, come on!
Three... two... one... zero.
Time's up.
Is the bear pleased with its adventure?
Wow, the bear's pleased.
He's nodding.
Good work.
Thanks. That was a great adventure.
Hope you had fun, bear.
But Sofia, you were, like, in the middle of a video game.
So, like... that day was so much fun.
Plus a little bit of pre-bowling, on top of that.
At the good Åke's.
Little bit of disco-bowling.
I think we should assign some scores to this, and...
Bobbing in an inland lake and catching Sweden's most common fish
isn't a huge adventure,
so 1 point for Johanna.
Additionally, Marcus, 2 points.
It did get to space, but not quite the entire bear.
At the cost of a decapitation, and the rest lay abandoned on the field.
Anis, 3 points. Surprised you, there.
I don't want applause.
And 4 points for Sussie.
Sneaking up on the king and knocking on the door, that's an adventure.
But I give the 5 points to Sofia for the day of adventure!
This bear got quite a bachelorette party, actually.
And what does this for the totals we'll skip at the moment,
because anything can happen and everything can change,
because now, we're in the finale.
It's time for finale.
Sofia, go ahead and read the letter for your co-contestants.
"Stand on either one leg or two legs."
"Taking turns, one of you will stand behind the curtain"
"with both your hands on your head."
"Babben will guess if you're standing on one leg or two legs."
"If she guesses correctly, you're eliminated."
"Last one standing, on one or two legs, wins."
Understood?
Then I'll ask Marcus Berggren to come up and stand on the mark.
There's two feet there that you'll stand on.
Now I'll put my hands...
Jeez, you're really staring, Babben!
Right, I've made my choice.
I think you're standing on two legs.
A correct guess by Babben!
Marcus sits down.
What a goofball.
Absolutely, Sussie. Just go right on ahead.
Sussie has made her choice.
Babben, guess.
One leg.
No, she tricked me.
Johanna Nordström.
Johanna makes her choice, and puts her hands on her head.
So, Babben.
Is that a pleasant position?
Yeah. - Yeah? Okay.
You can, like... make a choice.
I think you're standing on two legs.
Babben says two legs. Johanna's standing on...
Two legs.
Well acted!
Very good. - I still think that was pretty good acting.
Anis Don Demina...
gets...
onto the mark.
He makes his choice.
I've had a rough day today, Babben.
But I still like you. I think you're really...
Even rougher now, right?
Depends on how you look at it.
Yeah? How long can you hold that position?
Until tomorrow.
I think you're standing on one leg.
Babben says one leg.
Anis is standing on...
one leg!
I was wobbling a bit much.
Correctly guessed. Correctly guessed by Babben.
Anis Don Demina gets seated with the rest.
Sofia comes up and gets into position.
She finds her stance,
then puts her hands on her head.
Not as pleasant with high heels like you're wearing, right?
Exactly.
I think you're standing on two legs.
Babben says two legs.
Sofia's standing on...
...on two legs. - On two legs!
Which means that the winner of this task is
Sussie Eriksson!
Brilliant work!
Finally! Finale!
Sussie! Sussie! Sussie! Sussie!
Come on down, and you'll get your points.
Right, David. How's today been?
From the balancing finale, Sussie brought home 5 points.
The rest of you got 1 point each.
Huge congratulations on that front.
Johanna got 1 point and, in total, gets 15 points
ending up with, well, the last place of this bunch, one might say.
She came here for revenge, but wound up in last place again.
That's how it goes. That's how it goes.
1 point also goes to Marcus,
who winds up in fourth place, 16 points exactly.
1 point also goes to Anis,
who gets 17 points and winds up in third place.
Sussie does get 5 points.
5 points! The others just got 1 point.
Sussie gets 5 points, ending up with, in total, 18 points.
That's cool.
That's super cool.
And one tiny point went to Sofia,
and, with her other points, she ends up with 22 points
and is tonight's winner!
Sofia Dalén, huh? Incredible!
Come up, by all means!
Congrats, congrats!
Come on up, come on up...
Look! The large, large check! - My dream! My dream!
And what have we learned from tonight's show?
Well, if you sneak up on the King, you'd better act German.
Never let your phone out of your sights.
And if you're afraid of perch, maybe you shouldn't go fishing.
We'll see you next Friday, 20:00. Thanks for tonight!
