Can I tempt you with some "Bäst i Test" for Friday treats?
The tasty snacks in this candy bowl are:
The salty licorice fish Gina Dirawi!
Hello, hello!
The sour gummy Alfred Svensson!
The spicy dip Olle Sarri!
The crispy chip Christine Meltzer!
And the sweet fudge Jan Rippe!
And tonight among other things, you will see this...
-No! -No!
-Suddenly it happens. -No way.
-Do I spit in it? -Ah!
-I'd be smart to wait. -Oh, fuck this.
-But it's you. -Can you see the V-sign?
-What? -You tricked me!
Welcome, panel! How's the Friday mood tonight?
-Good! We have good feelings right? -Absolutely.
I'm extremely nervous to watch this miserable mess as per usual.
Gina, you've got your strengths. Let's say you could create a task.
-What sort of task would it be? -Throwing a small ball?
I hate the bloody throws. I don't want to throw anymore.
I want to sit on a couch and watch TV for several hours uninterrupted.
I would have been amazing at that.
Alfred, who of the others is your toughest competition?
Right now I'm actually feeling a little threatened by Rippe.
I thought he was the weakest.
No. I'm threatened by everyone. Because you don't know.
Here's someone who doesn't pose a threat to even a fruit fly.
-Ladies and gentlemen, David Sundin. -Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you.
Yes, I strive to live and let live, Babben.
I'm so glad you're living. That means you can kick off the first task.
So be it. Immediately we present a complicated choice to the contestants.
-Hi! -Heya.
Hi there. Ah!
Is that all of them?
-What do you want from me? -Pick one of the tasks.
Gently.
-Oh, oh. -Smack!
Uh-huh.
I guess just take one. I can't control this.
-"Do the task by the flag pole." -"Or the task in the kitchen."
"Or the task in the gazebo."
"Or the task on the balcony."
-"Or the task in the caravan." -"Or the task in the meadow."
"Fastest to complete a task wins."
"Your time starts now."
Any one of those tasks. You only need to complete one of them.
Here there were as many as six tasks to choose from.
It was enough to only complete one of them.
-This sounds like a dream. -I think maybe it was.
Just ask Jan Rippe, Christine Meltzer and Gina Dirawi.
-Then I'll do the kitchen! -Okay.
-I like the kitchen. -Okay, the kitchen.
A task here.
"Throw the ping pong ball onto the kitchen table so it bounces into the candy bowl."
For Sweden. Almost!
No, this was so hard.
-Oh! -For fuck's sake!
Oh! Oh! No, it's stuck. Get out of the way!
-It's been four minutes. -This is the last one.
-Oh come on. This can't be done. -There were two bounces right on the edge!
-The caravan, then. -The caravan?
-It's lovely to get some exercise. -Fun to get out of the house.
Oh my god. "Separate the beads by colour." All of them?
-All the beads? -All the beads.
-No, I can't do that. -That's never going to happen.
But I'm colourblind. Is this yellow?
-Where is the meadow? -It's the one over there.
I can't muster that.
-What's this? Flag pole. -Okay.
"Throw a hula hoop so it goes over one of the flag poles."
-No, that can't be done. -But I can't throw!
I don't think anyone is going to do that.
No, see. It's not possible. I told you.
No, No. Fuck that.
The balcony, David. Faster, faster!
"Throw a frisbee from where you stand so that it hits a flag pole."
-I've got three throws. No. -In between.
-No! I can't take it. -It's those flag poles.
The wind is playing tricks, Rippe.
-Now. No! -Here comes the last one.
-Oh! -That was close!
Let's try the gazebo. Follow me!
"Solve the puzzle by taking apart the metal pieces."
-Maybe this is your thing. -No. No, this is not my thing.
There's no throwing. Perfect.
-And it's solveable? -Of course.
Okay! Don't give up.
I give up.
At least you tried.
-We've been everywhere but the meadow. -I don't have the strength to run there.
Lie down and get comfortable, because this will take some time.
-That first ping pong ball was close. -I know!
-It could have been done there. -Yes.
Then there is that intriguing task that we don't know what it is.
The meadow? Forget about it.
-You can hardly tell there's fewer beads. -Thanks for the encouragement!
-Do you want to throw some ping pong balls? -Let's go to the kitchen.
-No. Yes, yes. -Nope.
For Sweden.
-Wow! Good! -Yes!
-There it is. -Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait.
Wait! I need a big funnel.
There.
-Suddenly it happens. -It sure did!
You know about the 1994 World Cup? Everyone goes on and on about the 1994 World Cup.
And how we were the champions and la, la, la. And then I found out last year...
-They got the bronze? -We came THIRD! What?!
What other country celebrates coming third?
-It's been 33 minutes. -Okay, I'm encapsulating here.
Some more stuff on the sides.
Now there's unlimited bouncing opportunities.
Yes!
How fun. You see?
-40 minutes later. Cool. -Christ! I have to get one point.
Yes, Gina. Such joyous scenes. It was like celebrating coming last!
That was the worst thing I ever did. It never ended.
You had a nice spread of your frisbees.
-But I can't throw, Babben! -I was just thinking "rub it in".
Rippe, admirable. You chose the beads even though you're colourblind?
Yeah, I kept fiddling with them. It was a little tricky separating the colours.
Still, at the end I thought...
Well you can't tell, but you sorted them very badly.
It wouldn't have been approved.
It took quite some time. What did they get?
Christine was pretty fast.
She got the ping pong ball in the jar at 12 minutes and 4 seconds.
Yes, thank you.
Rippe finished at 22 minutes and 51 seconds.
And Gina? She fought bravely for all of 44 minutes and 37 seconds.
But she didn't quit.
That's an honourable third place at this point.
-Like in the 1994 World Cup. -Precisely.
So, Christine in the lead. Who is the next to tackle the task?
It's going to be none other than Alfred Svensson.
Okay? And the clock is ticking? So I should get the closest one.
Or... I think the furthest one is the easiest. The meadow.
This was really stupid.
Are you coming?
Oh! Why did I pick the one furthest away?
I'm already regretting this.
"Disqualify any contestant from this task."
- Christine. - NO!
-Oops! Sorry! -What?!
-That was fast. -Yes.
-I don't like her. -I like her.
But who's the biggest threat? You have to take them out.
-It's Christine. -Have you seen her?
No, I've never... Is that so?
-Yes, it's so. -Well done. -Thanks.
That was fun. Fun task.
-And fast. -Sorry.
-It was very fast. -But hang on.
Yes, but the results show I chose right.
-You had the best time? -Yes.
Yes. But do I get zero? Zero points.
You're zeroed out. You're disqualified from this task.
-That was all he had to do? -Did you miss the task?
That was the task you refused to do.
-My guess is we have a new leader. -We had Christine at the top.
But Alfred meandered to the meadow and disqualified Christine-
-after 1 minute and 55 seconds.
Whether Olle can beat his time we will see now.
Okay, we'll go one floor up.
-The balcony. -Go!
"Throw a frisbee from where you stand so you hit a flag pole."
"Where you stand?" But I could stand there.
Yes, where I stand.
-Olle! -Genius.
Okay, this is where I stand.
-Thanks. -Good job. -Ditto. Very good.
-Strong effort. -Good.
You're thinking outside the box. How pleased are you?
-Well, well, well. -Right!
I'm too humble to admit to being extremely pleased.
It's showing a little bit.
-Let us summarize. Well, you will. -Yes, exactly.
Olle made it easy for himself and he was faster than Alfred.
Despite Alfred hardly doing anything. One minute, seven seconds for Olle!
OK then! Christine was in the lead, but Alfred DQ'd her. Zero points.
He did that without hesitation. Two points to Gina, three to Rippe.
It's four points to Alfred and the five-pointer goes to Olle Sarri!
There's no reason to slow down. Don't you have a tasty task now?
I do. Will the contestants' weak minds triumph over the lusty temptations?
To eat or not to eat, that is the question.
-Hello. -G'day, g'day!
Wow!
Peekaboo!
Well, if you'll excuse me. I'm going to read now.
-Christ, this is a long text. -Thank you.
"Eat the chocolate bunny." Thank you!
"Or don't eat the chocolate bunny."
"If you're the only one who eats the chocolate bunny, you get five points."
"And everyone else loses a point."
"If more than one person eats the chocolate bunny"-
-"all chocolate bunny eaters lose three points."
"And all chocolate bunny refusers get three points."
"If everyone eats the chocolate bunny, everyone loses five points."
"Except the person who ate the chocolate bunny first."
"If you name another contestant who didn't eat the chocolate bunny"-
-"that contestant loses three points."
"You have 15 minutes. Your time starts now."
-15 minutes?! -Do you know what to do?
No. But a quarter of an hour?
It's all about...?
-Eating or not eating. -Eating or not eating.
Yes, they had to eat or not eat the chocolate bunny.
-A dilemma I'm often faced with. -I can relate to that.
Who does what with the chocolate bunny we shall see in a little bit.
In the meantime, I've got a small task for you.
Everyone in your household has to find something in your home starting with A, B, C etc.
Whoever finds the most things in alphabetical order wins.
Your time starts now.
Welcome back to "Bäst i Test".
Our contestants have to either eat or not eat a chocolate bunny.
Yes, and there were all these rules about how the points were divided. For example:
If you were the sole eater of the bunny you got five points.
If everyone ate the bunny, then everyone except the fastest lost points.
-And then some variations on that theme. -Yes, there was a lot.
-You would have eaten it, wouldn't you? -Yes, I would have.
I'm most curious to see how this went. Who are we watching first?
It's going to be Christine, Rippe, Gina, and Alfred understanding absolutely everything.
I understand absolutely nothing.
It's so tricky!
I don't know what this is about. What's the point of the task?
"If you are the only one eating the bunny you get five points."
-That won't happen. -Then we'll ignore that one.
I feel like I'd get more by not eating it.
Tell me what happens if I don't eat. You don't even know yourself.
-Not in full detail. -Right.
What was that about naming?
If someone guesses that you won't eat, you lose three points.
-But you don't have to name anyone. -No, but it won't cost you anything.
It won't cost me to name anyone?
-No, it's on the house. -I name Rippe.
I'm sorry!
So who wouldn't eat?
Christine.
-You have a sweet tooth, right? -But they won't think so.
OK. I'm the only one who thinks so?
Christine is going to psych herself out, and then she'll take it.
I don't think they think I like it. I don't think they'll name me.
-But it's the other way around. -What? No.
Yes, right. Yes, right.
"If you name another contestant, they lose three points."
Well, then I'll just name everyone.
Olle, Christine, Jan, and Gina.
-But I want to eat it. -You can.
-Do I have to eat all of it? -It's the entirety of the bunny.
-Do you want it? -Yes, I do.
Are you having to restrain yourself?
A little. But at the same time I'm trying to lose weight.
-How is that going? -I've fallen off the wagon.
This morning I ate a giant toast from a gas station.
I'm pretty full.
It looks pretty tasty.
Of course I'll eat it.
And if someone said that Rippe won't eat, then nothing happens.
Why can't I understand?
"If more than one person eats the chocolate bunny..."
"If more than one person..." Shut up. Wait.
"...all chocolate bunny eaters lose three points." I'm losing it.
Now I don't understand anymore. This is such a stressful environment.
-Ah! -I'll read it again.
"Eat the chocolate bunny." I can't read this again.
I'm not eating. I'm not eating!
-And if anyone named me... -So be it.
I still feel, after doing my calculations, that I shouldn't eat it.
-Well done. -Thanks.
-I'm almost done. -Nice.
-Thanks! -Well done. Rippe ate the bunny.
-Should I eat the bunny? -Or not. It's one of those two.
I don't think anyone ate it. No, I don't think so.
-Therefore I should eat it. -In that case, yes.
-And we are off. -Christ, that's good.
30 seconds left.
-No! I ate it! -Three, two...
It's eaten. I ate that bunny bastard.
I ate it.
-But maybe not. -I ate it.
It's going to land in the toast cradle. A cradle of toast.
A cradle of toast? What are you talking about?
-The entire bunny was in my mouth. -Not to me.
You couldn't see the bunny.
Alfred, what is it with you that you constantly break David?
-I'm in an utter state of panic. -That's the funny state.
That was the worst thing. When my brain starts smoking, I don't feel very good.
A cradle of toast in your belly. Do you get the joke now?
Now I get it, but at that time it was all just too much.
-Gina, why shouldn't you eat? -No idea. I don't understand anything.
-But you had made calculations. -They were pretend calculations.
-I would have wanted to read that. -I understand nothing.
Rippe and Alfred ate the bunny. Christine and Gina refused.
-But there's one person left to see. -Yes, this is the decider.
It's now we will see if it's a good or bad thing to eat the chocolate bunny.
We simply have to see and evaluate after.
You know him as Anton in c/o Segemyhr. [sitcom]
But to me, he will always be the voice of Scott "Squishy" Squibbles in Monsters University.
Here is Olle Sarri.
I'm just going to do this.
There is much that indicates you could be first. Because you didn't think about it a lot.
-If my kids weren't watching... -They are?
Yes they are. So I won't reveal how often I eat chocolate.
There is quite a lot even on weekdays.
Monday, Tuesday...
This abuse has been going on for a long time. Repeatedly. But they notice, don't they?
Chocolate around your mouth when you come pick them up.
I've got nothing to lose in naming anyone.
So I'll say Christine, Gina, Alfred, and Jan.
-You're naming all four? -Yes.
-Should I open my mouth so you can see? -A tiny peek would be... Right so.
The chocolate bunny was eaten. Four people were named.
-And now we'll wait and see how that went down. -Yes, we will.
-See you. -You too.
Oh, oh, oh.
Olle, is there anything else you want to admit to your children?
There is possibly a lot to admit, but I'm keeping it to myself.
You need to drop info a little at a time.
David, with all these rules the scoring is slightly messy.
-Can you sort this out? -Happily, Babster.
Christine, you were worried about minus points. You won't get that.
You didn't eat the chocolate bunny, which gives you 3 points.
But you were named by Alfred, Olle and Rippe.
So you lose 9 points.
Which lands you on -6 points. And these are actual points.
Gina didn't eat the chocolate bunny, but was named by Olle and Alfred.
-So ends up on -3 points. -But I got -9?
Sorry, I'm still stuck on that. But 9...minus?!
-It's absolutely a new record. -And before then I got zero.
-I've done nothing wrong! -It's a very tough start.
All three boys ate the chocolate bunny, and get 3 minus points each.
So Rippe, Olle, and Alfred join Gina on -3 points.
-That's nothing! -There's not a lot of points.
No, for the first time in "Bäst i Test" history, we have a total with minus scores.
Which is both kind of funny and sad if you ask me.
As we stand right now, we have Christine on -6 points.
Gina on -1 points.
Rippe on 0 points, Alfred has 1 point, and finally Olle has 2 points.
It doesn't sound like much, but he's in the lead!
Do you want to see what we are competing for tonight?
Well, it's a toast cradle.
Check it out! And tonight's winner gets to bring it home with them.
And display it in a nice spot at home. You can put chocolate bunnies in it.
-Christ, I want that. -Only the best.
What's the next task?
Pour some sherry and put on a polo shirt. It's time for some fine arts.
-Hello. -Hi!
Here we go.
-Are you with me? -I'm with you.
-Oh! No! -This is never going to work.
"Recreate three historic events."
"One must be from the 19th century."
"One from the 20th century, and the last from the 21st century."
"You have 10 seconds to display each of your events."
"And 10 seconds to switch between events."
"Best recreated historic event wins."
"You have 45 minutes to prepare."
"Your time starts now."
No, sorry. There we go. 45 minutes.
Oh my god.
The curtain rises for ten seconds. Closed for ten seconds.
Open for ten seconds. Closed for ten seconds.
Open for ten seconds.
-Then closed forever. -Forever?!
Do you have a favourite historic event off the top of your head?
-No. Do you? -Battleship Vasa.
[Sank 1628; salvaged intact 1961. Big tourist attraction.]
Any historic event?
-What will it be? -I have to Google things.
Okay, things that have happened.
There is so much. There are some sporting events!
-There is sport! -How do you win?
-Best... -In test?
This is my task. If not, you can just throw me overboard.
-Okay, go. -This is so much fun!
Yes, they had to re-enact three historic events from three different centuries.
But they only had ten seconds per event.
Three history lessons in short format. It's nice we can offer some public education.
Isn't it? And we'll start with the most excited contestant.
Three historical scenes featuring Gina Dirawi.
Ah! I've got tinnitus. Can't hear.
Thriller!
Is there any children around?
Leave Britney alone!
Good job.
Gina, there was a musical theme.
-Shit, that was weak. I can't bear it! -No, I don't think so.
-What were the events? -Beethoven playing and turning deaf.
Then Michael Jackson.
And finally Britney [Spears] when she freaked out on the paparazzi.
That's right.
David, the first of our five acts has premiered. May we see the rest?
No, sorry. Now we go for a short break.
Immediately after that we'll be back with four fancy performances.
Welcome back to "Bäst i Test".
Our contestants are showing us three historic events in quick succession.
So far we have seen Gina's musical mini-drama.
-Who is next? -We are leaving the music scene.
And transporting ourselves to the magical world of sports.
Here is Jan Rippe and his three historic events.
The year is 1896 and I hereby start off the first Olympic games.
Hey! I just won my first Wimbledon trophy. [Björn Borg]
No actually it's the fifth, in 1980, because I beat [John] McEnroe! Yeah!
Yes, 2006 and I, Anja Pärson, have won an Olympic gold medal!
Yes, I'm doing the Seal!
Well done.
How was that, Rippe? Did you give yourself goosebumps?
Yes, both Borg and Anja are big events.
Okay, that was Rippe. Who's next in line?
You know him as Björn in Heja Björn. [comedy]
But to me, he will always be the voice of "pizza guy" in Incredibles 2.
Here is Olle Sarri.
Here is Olle Sarri and his historic events.
Okay. What's this then? A clothes pin. Ouch!
Ouch, ouch, ouch! Rubber band. Ouch, ouch. Cheese, cheese. Ouch!
Yes. Okay, that was three. Ouch, ouch.
And now. Oh yes. Oops! The vacuum. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Stapler. Ah! And skateboard.
Yes, box. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
There. Recliner up, and a decaf.
Macchiato Americano. Ahhh!
-Thank you. Well done. -Thanks!
Well, what was the theme here, for anyone who didn't get it?
Historic inventions.
So historic events in the form of inventions.
I finished with the most modern one.
You mean decaf? Yes, you did. But we must roll onwards.
And we will do that with a professional when it comes to switching between characters.
-Pull the curtains on Christine. -No, don't.
Three historic events from Christine Meltzer.
Hello, hello. Dear Göta Canal-ers.
It's an honour for me to declare Göta Canal open!
That we've struggled with for so long! Oh, oh, oh. Oh! [it took 22 years to build]
Oh! Oh.
Finally the dog is going into space. It's Laika!
And we wish you all the best!
Damn! Christ, I wasn't prepared. I'm sorry. Christ, that was scary.
Welcome to the show premiere. Oh no! God! It's Gotlandia. [Babben's regional dialect].
Welcome to the show premiere of "Bäst i Test"!
And tonight among other things, you will see...
-You don't have to clap. -That's going to get bonus points.
-Give the Gotlandia another try. -No. No, I'm panicking!
Welcome to "Bäst i Test". Come on! Welcome...
Welcome... Thank you!
Just one person left. It's going too fast.
-Here is a guy with his finger on the pulse. Alfred Svensson. -No.
My lordship, Alfred Svensson's three historic events.
Okay there. It's done. Let's see if it works.
And it does! Yes!
And I will be calling it a bicycle. That was a bicycle.
Ah, fuck!
♪ Up! Town in light! ♪ [1988 Melodifestivalen / Eurovision]
♪ In a land without name! ♪ Tommy Körberg!
Nine years ago I was fortunate to befriend a woman with a sense of humor. [Prince Daniel marrying into the royal family]
Yes, these years with you, Victoria, have been the best of my life!
Right. Well done.
I'm blushing.
I don't remember Prince Daniel tearing off her veil and her hair.
-There were many errors in the others events, too. -Do you want some of my points?
It's time for me to make my judgement.
Two points to Olle and Gina.
It was very entertaining, but the events were rather vague.
Three points to Alfred and four points to Rippe-
-for a very distinct sporting history.
-Five points to Christine! -Really?
To think "Bäst i Test" is a worthy historic event goes a long way.
This is some biased shit. This is bias.
I'll put that in my notes. We need something to break the pattern now.
We need a leg-stretcher for our contestants in the form of some test-
-that can be done in this studio.
-Do you not think I get it? Go. -You have to say the actual words.
It's time for the middle of the show, with David Sundin.
Oh! Thank you, thank you.
Kind words. What an introduction. Wow, Babben. Kind words.
Welcome, contestants, studio audience and everyone at home-
-to this segment, Middle of the show.
It's simply my little corner. I'm going to lead us into the next part.
How do you do that, my colleagues usually ask me?
I can't divulge anything. Just sit back and enjoy.
So what are the major holidays that are knocking about?
-Christmas. -Easter.
Christmas? Exactly. What do we do at Christmas?
-Open presents. -Eating?
-Celebrating Jesus dying. -Dress up as Santa.
You put up baubles, exactly. And where do you do that?
-In the tree! -On the branch. Exactly.
You put baubles on the branch. How many? Don't answer that.
It's time to play "How many baubles do you have on the branch?"
"kula" = baubles / balls "gren" = branch / crotch The game title can (deliberately) also be interpreted as "How many balls do you have on your crotch?"
Yes, we will be playing "How many baubles do you have on the branch?"
Alfred, could you read the instructions to your colleagues, Babben, and the public?
"Hang between one and five baubles on the branch."
"The one with the lowest unique number of baubles on the branch wins."
"Your time starts on David's signal."
Here are the trees. You put them in your respective boxes.
And once down there, choose whether to keep one, two, three, four or five baubles.
In the tree or on the branch.
You have to get the lowest unique amount.
If it's three, three, three, four, five. The person with four wins.
-A little thrilling and exciting. -Oh!
You can put your trees in the box and you will have some time to think.
-Do you have any tactics? -Yes, yes, yes.
And now you will adjust the number of baubles on the branch.
Christ, I don't know!
It has to be one, two, three, four or five clearly visible baubles.
I've made my choice.
-Do you feel content? -No.
Three, two, one.
-Are you finished? -Can you get minus points?
And hands out of the box.
Let's see how many baubles Gina has on her branch.
-And we can see it's one. -Oh, good!
-Did you already do yours? -You didn't remove any?
I take it that you, Rippe, chose to keep five baubles on the branch?
You don't know that.
-Right, he's psyching us out. -Okay.
Here comes Alfred. He has three baubles on the branch.
So right now Gina is in the lead with one unique bauble.
Here comes Olle.
Two.
-Like I have. -On the branch. Yes, exactly. [On the crotch]
-Still Gina in the lead. -This isn't good.
Here comes Christine. She already knows it's not good.
Christine has one, two, three, four. Which is a little funny.
One, two, three, four. Still Gina in the lead.
-What have you done now, Rippe? -You're going to win this.
Rippe has five baubles on the branch. Gina is the winner!
-Lowest unique number. -Finally!
And that's how we play "How many baubles do you have on the branch?"
Well, now what happens is-
-that Gina as sole winner gets 3 points. Everyone else gets no points.
-Don't you usually get five points? -Three points is nothing to scoff at, Gina.
Things are starting to even out. Christine has -1 point.
-The rest of you have 4 points each. -Oh my god, how exciting!
Now don't forget it's a hefty cradle of toast-
-that you're competing for tonight, similar to what Alfred has in his tummy.
Right, it's very close now when we're halfway through the show.
This is no time to give up. Anyone can win this.
And in the next task, practically everything is flour-able. Sorry, possible. [mjölig = floury / möjlig = possible]
No, it's flour-able. Check it out.
-Peekaboo! -Peekaboo.
-Hey there! -Hi.
-There it is. -No!
-Now how am I going to open this? -No, it won't be timed yet.
I won't start stressing immediately.
Do you... Do you want a hand?
-Yes, please! -Is that a cake?
-No. -Nope.
-"Place five fish..." -"...in the little fish bowl."
"You must wear the flippers like gloves for the entire task."
"The task is over when five fish have been placed in the little fish bowl."
"Whoever has the most flour left..."
"...when the five fish have been placed wins."
"You may not leave the lab. Your time starts now." Aha!
Yes, they had to find and place five fish in the fish bowl.
They couldn't remove the flippers.
And they had to have as much flour as possible on the tray-
-when the fifth fish went into the fish bowl.
-This is going to be messy. -Nothing escapes you, Babben.
If something escapes our contestants, it will be revealed after a short break.
Welcome back to "Bäst i Test".
Our contestants had to do a variation on a fishing competition.
Who shall we see first?
Two people who know how to put their own spin on a task. Rippe and Gina.
You have to have as much flour left as possible.
And then get the fish to the fish bowl.
There is a risk of avalance. What's called a flour-slide.
Here's one! Oh, it's these tasty ones.
-One. -Right. Okay.
Here's another one.
-Is it like further in there or something? -Could they be that horrible?
There's some flour that slid off. Could it be...?
-No, you're tricking me. -No, I...
Could I maybe lift the top and get it out?
No, this is bad. But you know what? We're doing it.
Here. There's two here. Now check this.
-There! Come on. Come here. There. -Four fishies. One to go.
Wait...
-Four. -Here, here, here! Yes! Five!
And then... When five fish are in the fish bowl, the task is over.
You tricked me!
You told me to lift it! I shouldn't have listened.
-Some spillage. -But all five are in the bowl.
There's a lot left as well.
-We'll just put that there. -You con artist!
-There you go. -No, I'm not shaking your hand.
-I should never have listened to you. -All I did was count.
I'm making a dramatic exit.
Damn!
Oh!
-Well then. -Mhmm.
-No, too late! -What?
-There were fish hanging everywhere. -There were fish in the room.
What?!
Yes, you had to pay attention. There were five fine fish hanging from the ceiling.
And another five attached to the table. How did they end up there, David?
Our contestants have had to endure some very trying tasks.
I wanted to give them a simple one. Just pay a little attention.
-I'm so tired of myself. -No, you're tired of David.
Yes, I'll have to bear this one.
Let's see how observant Christine and Alfred were.
If I was to find five other fish...
-...can I get those? -But you can't leave the lab.
-Oh, right! And you're not carrying any? -No.
-Where are the fish? In here? -So when five fish...
-Whoever has the most flour left... -On the plate. I'll go like this.
Do I know they're in the flour?!
Like this. Great. One fishie.
There's something rotten or you just want me to look ridiculous.
That's one. The task is over when there are five fish in the fish bowl.
-So it's on time. -That's three.
I'm going to think this through before I start.
That's what I like about you, Christine. You think before you do.
-Four. -And then we'll go like this. Check this out, so smart.
Here it comes.
-How much time did I have? -When five fish are placed.
If it spills out, I'll pour it back.
So now... What? Yes, there is one.
You're the boss over the time now.
So all this stress is entirely self-inflicted.
But it's the time that counts.
It's the flour that counts, not the time.
You keep getting back to time.
-It's the time that counts. -Five fish in the bowl.
It has nothing to do with time?
Thank the gods I realised that.
-No, they're not all in the flour. Or are they? -Somewhere.
No, I know. But did it say: "There are five fish in the flour."
Not verbatim, but maybe we assume that.
And in the end it's up to you, quite simply.
-When the fifth fish... -I'm just getting this back on.
I should wet it. Do I spit in it?
To make a dough? A lot of spit.
No, yuck. That's too gross.
-There we go. -I think it's good.
-It's not all the flour. -No, but that's okay.
No one else will have this much.
And the fifth fish.
I'm chucking it in. Here it goes. Done.
10 minutes and 27 seconds.
-Thank you. -A respectable time.
But it's not timed. It's not, right?
Is it timed?
Thanks. Have a good one. Bye, bye.
You also had a good strategy. So did you, Christine.
Waiting with that last fish. But you were suspicious early on.
I don't understand why I keep asking, but I don't search for them.
Your face was just inches from those fish.
That doesn't really bother me. I'm still really happy.
Thank the gods I understood it wasn't a timed task.
-Sometimes I get really stressed. -It was hard to get that point across.
Yes, I could tell.
-We have come to our last attempt. -You remember him from Snabba Cash. [crime drama]
But for me, he will always be the voice of Tommy Pickles in All Grown Up.
Here is Olle Sarri!
-Is that the little fish bowl? -That's the little fish bowl.
-And here is the flour. -Yes. Flour...
NO!
And I'm to place five fish there? And most flour left wins? Oh.
Yes, box.
One... Two.
All the flour is still there.
Right?
I was pretending to sneeze.
Can you see the V-sign?
-It just looks like two... -Right, but...
-And you can just see one. -That's the wrong message.
-What did you do? -I sense all the flour is left.
-So do I. Gimme. -Up top.
Oh. Sorry.
And again you prove you think one extra step before you start.
-I'm liking this episode. -Right! He has to win.
Yes, there's no beating around the bush. Five points to Olle Sarri!
And the excitement here will be who gets the four points.
We have one point to Rippe. You had 1.2 kg of flour left.
Then there's Gina. Two points. You had 2 kg and 12 grams of flour.
Christine had 2.2 kg.
But Alfred who methodically replaced it had 2.9 kg of flour.
Four points to Alfred and three to Christine.
So it is said, and so is it now also written-
-as we go back to the house for the last time tonight.
My back really hurts.
-Hey there! -Hiya, hiya.
-Hey, do you have a favorite letter? -Letter?
-Yes. -You do? Which one?
-D for David. -Wow!
R for Rippe.
-A. -A.
-G. -G?
For Gina? Fun.
"Get the hourglass to run for as long as possible."
"David will turn the hourglass every time you throw an inanimate object"-
-"beginning with your favorite letter over ten meters."
-Over ten meters? That's hella far. -It's about this far.
"You may not throw the same type of object twice."
"Whoever's hourglass runs the longest wins."
"The task ends when there is no longer any sand running in the hourglass. Your time starts now."
Right. Okay. A... A... A...
They had to throw an object over 10 meters to make me turn the hourglass.
Whoever gets the hourglass to run the longest wins.
-A throwing task. What do you think, Gina? -I already know this is a fail.
-Don't say that. Who will we see? -Let us start with G for Gina.
Since she is so stoked.
She will be backed up by Rippe with R and Olle searching for things starting with A.
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh.
-What starts with G, then? -Chemical element [grundämne].
Should I throw nitrogen?
It might be time to come back here soon! Since the hourglass could run out here.
There's nothing.
Okay, in reality they're animate, but this one isn't. [anka = duck]
Over ten meters? Was that it?
I'll start with a skateboard.
-And I'll flip. -Pipe [rör].
-Right, flipping. -Rope.
Okeydokey, and I'm flipping. Remember, it's the longest total time.
-Okay, just past it? -Yes.
No! Okay. Now just wait.
Another object starting with A.
Gravel. It's fortunate we have a fairly clear ruler.
What else starts with G?
I grabbed a glass.
-Righty. -Candy [godis].
-Rhythm instrument. -Rhythm instrument?
-I'm turning. -Alarm clock.
Now I've turned it twice. That doesn't leave much.
This is crazy. A...?
-There's very little left, Gina! -What?! Fork [gaffel].
Fork. Boom!
Vegetable [grönsak].
There's very little left again.
Don't I get more time? I don't get it.
And it's over.
But if it's another duck, but a different kind?
-And it's over. -No, no, no.
-Three, two, one. -Oh, screw this.
I don't get it.
-Right. -But...
-Still, a long time and many objects. -Let it run for longer.
And right when it's about to run out...
Oh, so stupid. Shamefully stupid. Really shameful.
Christ, so stupid.
Yes, Olle. Shameful and stupid. Slightly harsh wording.
No, it was fairly correct. It was shamefully stupid.
Okay! Gina, are you understanding the basic principle?
Now I do. I'm still impressed. I did amazing at throwing.
It's where the things end up that counts in case you could see it bouncing before.
As long as they end up beyond the ruler. What were their times?
Yes, Olle. You cracked the code of waiting until the last moment too late.
Because the task was already over after only 58 seconds.
Rippe lasted a little longer. 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
Gina? Truly good at finding things starting with her favorite letter.
She kept it going for 5 minutes and 45 seconds.
Hello! But will she keep this lead, David?
Oh. I wasn't quite prepared for that question.
Can we take a break while I count?
So be it. See you on the other side.
You are watching "Bäst i Test", and they had to keep an hourglass running
as long as possible by throwing things starting with the same letter over 10 meters.
Gina has so far the longest time with 5 minutes 45 seconds.
Next up to the challenge plate is Alfred with things starting with A.
It's running. You have to throw something starting with A.
-A, a? Ape, ass. A? -Something with A.
Is there nothing with A? A damned ape.
That's an ape. It's obvious. "Amazing car" is not allowed.
Am I smart now, if I wait a little? Yes, I am!
-I'm smart to wait. -Mhmm.
-And I can think a little bit. -It gives you time to ponder.
-So what could you ponder? -Yeah, yeah. If you could be quiet.
It would be too bad if I didn't have time to throw.
Duck [anka]. Christ! Maybe I don't have time for anything else.
-Was that smart, Alfred? -No!
NO!
I'm so dumb. No! No, there's nothing else.
Three, two, one, zero.
Your time is up, Alfred.
I can't believe I'm so stupid. It's almost limitless.
-You cracked it. -No one is this stupid.
-I didn't crack it. -You waited.
Once, yes. Yes. Thank you and goodbye.
Am I really this stupid in my daily life?
-Yes, I am. -No. No.
Imagine having cracked it.
And then running off in hysterics, chucking a fucking duck.
How do you manage your daily life? Just being you.
Well, it's not easy!
Things happen. What was Alfred's time?
The hourglass ran out. He waited for a long time once.
It took 2 minutes, 27 seconds.
The only one who can challenge Gina for the win in this task is Christine.
Here she comes, along with all her things starting with D.
D? No, why did I say that? I like other letters!
-Dumbledore. The principal. -Yes, that could be one.
-Didgeridoo! -Okay.
Dumb thing?
Deep-grey ball.
No!
You know it. No?
Oh no, time's up. D, d?
Shoe! [slang]
I did it. My gosh!
Okay. Is it over?
-Oh! -No! Now I'm doing it. Okay.
Watch it! Good. Thanks.
-Drink. -Drink?
Drink. Okay?
Oh, sorry. But hang on, maybe there's a picture of you in there.
I'm sorry if I break this. Will you be sad? I'll go with the dinosaur.
Really far. Sorry. I don't feel good about this, but it is you.
Because you know what I'm going to do? Pause.
I just thought of that. Oh, my god! Now I can think of more things.
Yes!
-I had playing cards. Draw a card. -Isn't "draw" a verb?
I'm going now, David. I'm pretty sure I'll miss.
No, sorry. I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! It doesn't feel good at all.
I'll be back. I'm back! Animal head?
Christ, it's going almost too well.
-Dish rag. -Dish rag, yes. Here it comes.
No. No! I don't have time for more, do I?
Three, two, one.
Zero.
-Well done. -I found some!
Diadem!
Yes, yes.
-Bravo! -Wow.
It didn't start off well with dumb thing and deep-grey ball, but you know it!
But this was impressive.
-This did look good, right? -It looked good, and it was good.
After a slow start, Christine lasted for all of 11 minutes and 25 seconds.
I'm so happy.
One point to Olle, two to Alfred, three to Rippe and four to Gina.
And five points to... You know it. Christine Meltzer!
Nice job, Christine. How does that affect the total score?
We have Christine on seven points. Rippe on eight points.
And in split first place Olle, Alfred and Gina on ten points.
Exciting. Exciting.
There is every reason to fight all the way to the end.
We are competing for a cradle of toast.
And remember, as usual, all can happen and all can change.
Because this is the final.
Wow-wow-wee-wo!
It's time for the final task and a very exciting one at that.
Olle Sarri, can you read the task for Babben, the studio audience and the people at home?
"Roll a fruit over the finish line."
"If your fruit stops before the finish line, you are out."
"The contestant whose fruit passes the finish line first in each round is out."
"Unless someone else's fruit stopped before the finish line."
"Slowest fruit roller wins."
-Of course. As per usual. -As per usual, as per usual.
You will each pick a fruit and hold it out in front of you.
Put it in the gutters, and I'll say three, two, one.
When I blow the whistle, everyone drops their fruit at the same time.
If your fruit stops on the way, you are out.
If you are first over this line, you are out.
Please pick your fruit and hold it out in front of you.
We have a lychee, an orange, lime, a passion fruit and another lime.
A juicy Friday drink. Everyone grab your gutters.
Place your fruit, and get ready for my whistle.
-Everyone ready? -Yes.
Three, two, one.
No! Go!
-No! -It's not past the line. First over the line.
So we have two who didn't make it to the finish line. Lychee and lime.
-Is that Gina and Rippe? -Yes.
Please take your seats on the sofa. We'll start the next round.
In fruit rolling.
Pick a new fruit on three. One, two, three. Pick your fruit.
We have passion, orange and lime. Please place your fruit in the gutters.
-Are you ready? -Sorry, David.
-It's good. -How do you do that?
She's tucking her tie between her legs. And you're not.
What? It still covers! There's nothing obscene. Noo!
Are you ready? And we are releasing on three, two, one.
There they go. Very calm and cautious they're coming down.
-No, I was first. -And I was the absolute worst.
- Fuck! - No, I'm out.
-I'm out. -No, you and me.
-I did really badly. -You made it.
-Oh, I'm so nervous. -Alfred crossed the line first.
But that doesn't matter if someone else doesn't cross at all.
-Christine will take her place. -Thank you.
We have a final between Olle and Alfred. Incredible tension.
Choose your final fruit on three. One, two, three. Grab your fruit.
And we got passion versus orange. Exciting.
-Put them in the gutters. -You really want the orange?
Yes, I tried that thing. It's going to go bad.
-In place? -Yes.
Three, two, one.
-No, no. -They are rolling.
They are rolling. Alfred is rolling, but dangerously close to stopping.
He gives it a little push.
Olle is past. Alfred stops.
It's clear. Olle is the winner!
Come back here and we will see who takes home the win tonight.
So, some points to go with this. How exciting and fun.
-This is how thrilling it should always be. -Truly.
Rippe and Gina were out first. Two points each.
Christine gets three points. Alfred gets four.
And the five points go to Olle. Yes, it's cause for applause.
If we look at the total score we find Rippe and Christine in shared last place.
You both have 10 points. Then there's Gina on 12 points.
Olle and Alfred started the final with 10 points each.
It was the fruit rolling that decided it.
14 points to Alfred, 15 to Olle. One point margin!
He wins a cradle of toast!
-Can I test it? -Of course, of course.
So what did we learn tonight? Well, fruit rolls its own way.
Don't get too eager around hourglasses.
And don't separate beads if you're colourblind.
Do you want more "Bäst i Test"? You can find us on TV4 Play. Good night!
Come, let's go congratulate Olle.
