Until the opposite is proven, I hereby decidedly declare it Friday.
And it's time for "Bäst i test".
I may be partial, but I claim it will be a fantastic evening.
Those pleading their case for the entire season are now entering.
The justified rebel Gina Dirawi!
The handsome stickler Alfred Svensson!
The acrobatic attorney Olle Sarri!
The cunning law woman Christine Meltzer!
And the noble justice Jan Rippe!
And tonight you will, among other things, see this...
It's time for tasky.
-You're ashamed? -Absolutely.
-Have you done a lot of fishing? -I don't know!
-Again, the thing about the tape. -Oh!
Hey, say hi from me.
Well then, we are gathered again. What are your expectations for this evening?
-I don't want to come last today, that's my feeling. -Laughing at you even more.
Very good. Alfred, can you describe your efforts here in a single word?
Anxiety.
-Anxiety is your inheritance! [common Swedish saying] -No, performance anxiety and fun, as well.
-One word. Great, Alfred. -It was a good word.
Christine, if you could switch places with me or David, whose chair would you pick?
I'll take your place. David gets subjected to so many things.
Is that a hint of what is to come?
No, right now it's not on the table, but you never know.
Anyway, at the smaller desk sits the notary of all notaries, David Sundin!
Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you. The notary of all notaries? That's certainly me.
And Babben, you are forever the judge of all judges.
Flattery will get you far, provided you also kick off the first task.
I'd be happy to.
At night, you can get the munchies. What could be better at that time than a pancake?
Yes, and what could be better than that? A flying pancake. Bon appetit.
[Swedish pancakes are thin like crepes, served with jam and whipped cream]
-There you are! -Oh, this looks exciting.
-Thank you. -You're hungry, I see.
-Yes. -Oh, what a treat!
"Serve David a flying pancake."
"The flying pancake has to be thrown from the frying pan."
"From one side of the bar..." Okay. Oh! There's the bar.
"Travel over the bar, and be caught in its entirety in the frying pan on the other side."
"If a pancake hits the ground, it is considered spent."
"Whoever serves a flying pancake over the highest bar wins."
"The height is measured from the lowest point on the bar."
-Yes...? -It sags down a little.
Yes... Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
"You have 20 minutes. Your time starts when David says..."
"Now it would be nice with a flying pancake."
Okay, I've got some questions first.
What should I be doing?
Well, Alfred. You were supposed to serve me a pancake.
Before being served, it had to travel from the frying pan, over the bar-
-and finally into the frying pan on the other side, quite simply.
If it hits the ground, it's ruined.
Whoever throws and catches a pancake over the highest bar wins.
And the pancake has to be intact. There can't be pieces falling off.
Delightful! Who will kick off this pancake party?
First to swing their frying pans are Jan Rippe and Gina Dirawi.
Then I'll say: Now it would be nice with a flying pancake.
Oh! No, I made it too fat.
Fat pancake can also be nice. [Swedish eggy delicacy, like a thick frittata, baked and served with cloudberry jam]
I've never made pancakes. Wifey does that. Here's some flour.
-There's prepared batter in that jug there. -Should you put some of this in?
-I'll throw some out. -Will it be fat pancake?
-Nah, we don't know. -No? We shall see.
-Tasty with some cream and jam. -Yes, it's going to be very yummy.
-It's going to be what it wants to be. -Is it an omelet?
Perhaps you should leave it alone, to let it cook? Wifey is going to see this on TV.
Here we go, for five points. Ah!
-It broke. -Yes.
It doesn't hold together very well. Maybe you should put more of this?
-I feel like that chef on TV4. -Is there a specific chef you're referring to? [TV4's morning news has different chefs every day giving cooking tips]
They always give you very stern instructions on what to do and not do in the kitchen.
"We all know the frying pan must be hot."
-And then the next chef says something else. -That it should be cool?
That's why we're so divided as a society. No one can agree on anything.
-Small and thin. -Yep, there it is.
There can be no negative remarks on the thickness.
Freshly made pancake. Hard to beat.
For Sweden! No.
- Six minutes left. Not too much. - I poured too much.
Was it this one?! Oh, how tasty!
Oh, oh. No, that's not how you do it.
-Do you want to raise the bar a bit? -Yes, now we can do that.
There.
Do you want to raise? Oh. It's hot. Freshly cooked, but also raw.
-I really want another one. -Here it comes!
-Do you want to raise? -Yes.
Let's go to level three.
-I've got time for one more. -It's like a small, sooty ball.
-Yes, I know. -50 seconds left.
-Shit! -There's 20 seconds left.
-No. -Three, two, one, zero.
-Done! -This one is from level two.
-Well done. -Thank you. Points.
-The charcoal surface makes it quite crispy. -You're welcome.
Rippe, that was rather revealing. I do have to inform you: you've still never made a pancake.
That was some sort of plätt-ball. [tiny pancakes stacked with jam and cream]
Ugh, I'm dumber than you would expect. Here's an example of that.
Gina, how often do you fry pancakes?
I can't cook, I burn everything. But I'm super impressed by my performance.
Yes, that was some good work. How high did the pancakes fly?
Gina's highest approved toss was at 1 meter and 55 centimeters. Not too shabby.
Oh, not very good at all.
And Rippe actually managed one approved toss-
-where the pancake went over the bar at 2 meters and 78 centimeters.
-Wow! -Well done.
-Tossing a small plätt-ball. -Yes, indeed.
Now let's move on with the rest of the fryers. Christine Meltzer, Alfred Svensson, and Olle Sarri.
["stekare" - fryer; also slang for someone who flaunts their wealth]
What height would you like to start with for the bar?
-A lot higher. -So start at the four-point, then.
Now it would be nice with a flying pancake.
-Then that is what you shall have. -Well, I can't do very... I'm getting a ladder!
Now the sun is in my eyes. So we'll start with this.
-Do you want to raise the bar? -Of course.
Not because it's cold, but for protection.
-I'm still in the mood for a flying pancake. -It's coming for you.
Here it comes.
Like, how are you doing this?
Done. What?
Whoever serves from the greatest height.
Oh, right. Hang on a bit.
-Well, now you ate it. -That's the highest.
I thought it stopped once you ate.
-No, I'm still hungry, as I stated. -Yes, fine, here, take some of this.
-It's spent? -It's spent.
-Here we go. This won't work. -That's the spirit.
No! No, now I'm ashamed. This didn't go well.
Let's raise the bar. That's good.
No!
I did it! Did you see?
-But now I'm raising it to the top level. -You're allowed to go over the top level.
-How high are we going? -As high as possible!
-That's the flag pole topper. -That's too high.
Ten minutes left. Going for gold, Alfred Svensson.
Oh! No, I didn't have time. I was going to...
-It was close. -No.
Fiasco.
Was it tasty? I'm so pleased!
-Will you guarantee my safety here? -Nope.
Here he comes. For the gold, Alfred Svensson.
-What do you like on them? -Kaviar. It's so good. [Cheap, processed cod roe spread for eggs and sandwiches]
You're not serious.
What? A minute and a half.
I'm catching it now. Almost intact.
-Can I pick this up? -No.
No... No, not intact.
-Now, you'll see. -Are you with me?
Three, two, one, zero.
Okay, then. I'll have to settle with that.
I hope it's tasty. I'll turn it off now.
-Not important to me. -I'm really happy.
-One in the belly. -I'm really pleased with the first one.
I'm not going to allow any negativity. I have to stay positive. Goodbye.
This was really fun.
-Good! -Christ, you did well.
Olle, something tells me this wasn't the first pancake you've ever tossed.
No, that's correct. I've been managing the dad-trick since way back.
But never that high.
-No, usually there's a ceiling! -Exactly, we don't have ceilings that high at home.
Christine, I got some anxiety from watching you wobble on the ladder.
It didn't feel like it, but it was probably the most dangerous thing I've ever done.
-It looks scary. -In your life?
How high did she get?
Christine's highest flying pancake reached zenith at 3 meters and 16 centimeters.
Alfred took big risks, but managed one successful toss at 3.9 meters.
Olle placed between Christine and Alfred at 3.8 meters.
-So personal best, then. -Yes, it sure is.
-What's next on the menu? -Now we're going fishing.
Oh, no.
David isn't here?
You sounded very happy.
"Make a passer-by hold your fishing rod for as long as possible."
-Oh, no! -"Do not tell them what the task is."
"You may only talk about fishing with the person holding your fishing rod."
No, how horrible!
"If the passer-by lets go of the fishing rod, the task ends."
"You have 60 minutes. Your time starts now."
But there's no one here.
Yes, so they had to find someone to hold their fishing rod-
-and then make sure this someone held the fishing rod for as long as possible.
They could only talk about fishing.
After the break, we shall see how that went. Those of you at home are going to get a little task.
Everyone in the household has to guess how many of our contestants-
-can hit me with a frisbee from where they're sitting now. Your time starts now.
You are watching "Bäst i test"-
-where the contestants will now hit David with their frisbees.
-Whoops. The lamp. -No!
That's one.
Oh! Wow! Two.
Yes, so there were two people who hit me with their frisbees.
Congratulations to everyone who guessed that.
Now, let's go fishing with some new friends.
We'll start with a trio of good ole boys. That is Olle, Rippe, and Alfred.
Christ, what do I do?! No. No, I can't do this.
It broke immediately.
Maybe I can trick someone to hold the rod out.
No, I can't do this. Christ, what should I do? Oh my god.
Hi there. Hey. Excuse me? Hey. Hello. I'm sorry. Hello. Excuse me... Hello.
Would you mind holding my fishing rod for a bit?
-I have to go to the bathroom. -Sorry.
No? I'm dying.
Oh, what a wave of shame. Oh, my god I'm so ashamed!
Hello. Excuse me? Could you possibly find the time to help me hold my rod?
It broke here. Thank you so much. I'm not very good at this.
Hello. No. No. Hey. No.
No, this can't be done!
Could you help me hold my rod? Are you in a hurry?
-No, I'm taking a walk. -How pleasant.
I'll say this is an interview and I'll ask questions.
I broke it, you know.
Can I ask you something?
Hello. Would you mind doing a short interview?
Yes, that's fine.
-Have you done a lot of fishing? -Never.
Never!
I put a thing there. Do you want to do a few casts?
No. I think that's enough. I'll get going.
-Oh? -Thank you, that's enough.
-Are you sure? -I'm sure.
Thanks. Thanks for the help.
Here we go. Svenssons Fishery, take one.
-Welcome. -Thank you.
-Are you at all interested in fishing? -No.
Let's see here. I had a few more questions.
What if we do this.
Yes... I'm not good at fishing.
Have you eaten perch before? It's a very special feeling. [Very common in Sweden. Reputation for being mostly all bone]
Yes... It's amazing. And...
-Good questions! -Oh, how fun.
-Eh, yes. -Oh, okay.
You're pretty good at this. I think I caught something!
No, it's probably nothing, but it's stuck here.
That's fine. That's fine. I think we'll have to stop now.
Perfect. A big thank you for helping.
I couldn't do it any longer. I just couldn't.
Many thanks. Have a good day. Same to you. Same to you?
Who says that? Urgh, so creepy.
Yes, It loosened now.
Yes, that's super kind. Thank you very much for helping.
-Thanks. -Have a continued good day. Thank you.
Okay, then. Well, I guess I wish for shit fishing for the next person.
You gave me a panic attack. Oh, bloody hell.
-You were flooded by shame? -Yes, I could hardly watch that.
-What's so horrible about it? -Involving other people in your own shit.
That you're up to. I pretty much can't do it.
I don't know if it was clear how incredibly awkward that conversation was.
-Oh, it was clear. -Check your position, too.
What am I doing with my legs? Why am I standing like this?
The important thing was the time. What times did they get?
Olle's fishing buddy was in a hurry. Could only hold the rod for 1 minute, 1 second.
Rippe's fishing hangout lasted for 5 minutes, 34 seconds.
Alfred did the most awkward interview in the history of the show-
-and there is quite some competition.
But the nice lady still held on to the rod for 5 minutes, 57 seconds.
We have Alfred in the lead, against all odds.
And now we will continue fishing with Gina and Christine.
How will they spend their 60 minutes?
-Should I go find someone? -Oh my god, this is horrible.
Excuse me? Do you know where the best fishing is around here?
Maybe over there. By that long jetty.
Can you help me hold it? I can't get the hang of my rod.
-Okay. -Let's check it out?
Could you just hold on to my rod for a bit? You can't let go of it.
And I'll just go check some stuff out. I'll be back. You can't let it go.
Because the fish that's attached to the rod will die if you do.
I don't even know how to hold a rod. Like, it's that bad.
If you hold it. Is that okay?
As long as you hold on to it, I feel like I can try to get it down.
You can't let go of the rod.
-Do you want to borrow a cap? -That's mine.
That's yours! Fine, so borrow it.
I was thinking I brought it.
Here come some bathers.
-Do you know if there's fish here? -Sure, there is.
What do you reckon we should put on this one? I only have lures.
A spinner would probably be good.
Wow. Do you know anywhere? Spider, worm... ["spindel"]
-No, spinner. -Oh, spinner. ["spinnare"]
I thought it sounded like...
No, poor thing!
But which lure is the prettiest? Do you have a favorite? The green one?
Oh, no! I can't stand it!
Are there any good fishing movies?
-"Jaws", but that one is... -"Jaws"! Awesome.
-There's music as well. -Exactly.
♪ I'm going fishing... ♪ ["Går and fiskar", Per Gessle]
♪ And taking a silent moment. Going out, going fishing ♪
Poor guy!
I think we should do this again. Thanks. Thank you so much.
Yes, thank you. Thank you very much.
Well, that worked wonders, Christine. You played the "I understand nothing"-card!
But Gina, you didn't play a card, you just left.
I'm sorry to this young guy. I sacrificed a kid for this.
-That is over the line! -Let's get this task over the finish line.
Gina tricked the young man to hold the rod for 15 minutes and 45 seconds.
And how did Christine do? It took time to find the perfect fishing buddy.
But once he showed up, he held on to the rod for the entirety of the remaining time.
-Which was 36 minutes. -Oh, my god!
And then I don't know how long he held on to the rod after that.
He might still be standing there.
He very well could. Olle, 1 point. 2 to Rippe, 3 to Alfred, and 4 to Gina.
-And a nicely-caught 5-pointer to Christine! -Oh, thank you!
-Thank you, buddy! -Let's move on with another task.
What a brilliant idea.
Now we will have a loving reunion with an important collaborator.
I am of course talking about the rubber ducks.
-Hey. -Hello, Milord. -Thanks!
-How's it going? -It's all good.
Okay, but thanks for asking. Me too.
"Get the red duckies off the board."
"You must be standing in the caravan when the duckies fall."
"If you get a yellow duckie down..."
"...you must immediately go stand in the shed and be ashamed..."
-Christ, that's harsh. -"Until the time runs out." -I don't want to be in the shame corner.
"Whoever gets the most red duckies off the board fastest wins."
"You have five minutes."
-"Your time starts now," David! -Yes.
"You must be standing in the..." Okay, but what the hell do I do?
They had to get the red duckies off so only yellow duckies remained.
They had to be in the caravan when the duckies fell off.
And if they accidentally got a yellow duck off, they had to go stand in the shed and be ashamed.
Shame is the harshest punishment we have in this country.
Let's see if someone ends up in the penalty box. First up is Alfred and Gina.
"Your time starts now."
No, this won't...
-Can I only be in the caravan? -In the caravan when the duckies fall.
- Can you take them off? - Yes.
-Will you, if I ask? -No. -Right.
There's too much going on now.
There's different ways of doing this.
-Yeah? Any suggestions? -No.
-3:45 left. 3:45 left. -I have to think outside the box here.
-That could be good. -It could. Shit!
Tape isn't my strong suit, either.
-This is idiotic. -And if a yellow falls off...
...it's straight to the shed.
-This wasn't a good decision. -If you manage to cobble that together...
...you could very easily just poke, poke, poke.
Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke. Until you are all done.
This is so stupid. I don't know what I'm doing.
Those balls are huge.
So. Shame.
-I don't have to remind you. -We can get them all down.
There's a risk you won't get any of the duckies off.
On the other hand, you won't get any of the yellow ones, and won't have to feel shame, so that's good.
-It's good with some time to reflect. -Yes, yes. really.
You can think about what could have been a good solution.
-That's exactly what I'm doing. -Taping maybe 5-6 sticks together.
Poke them down. Pop, pop, pop!
-Two minutes left. -No, I don't have time!
You need maybe three more sticks.
I don't have faith in this.
-How much time is left? -1.5 minutes.
It's so heavy!
The rules are simple. One red has to go down.
-No! -Do you ever aim?
No, I just throw.
There's 45 seconds left to be ashamed. Let's pass them silently, Alfred.
40 seconds. Oh! It would be good to get one down.
-At least then it is... -It would have been good. Yes!
-Yes, I got... -Into the shed you go.
-You're ashamed? -Absolutely.
-Can I leave now? -No, there's 20 seconds left.
I'm not ashamed at all.
-The task said you had to be. -Do I have to show I'm ashamed?
-Are you ashamed? -I'm really ashamed! Ohhhh.
-Five, four, three, two, one, zero. -Thank you.
-Then we are done being ashamed. -Yes, I really am.
Wait. Was that the task?
-So now I've done the task. -No.
-The shame should be worth one point. -Babben can...
Gina, you began with a taped-up stick, a classic, and then just tossing things with abandon.
I'm the worst at taping and tossing. This was not my task.
It said to be ashamed, and I think I did that very well.
Yes, after a while you began to act out some good shame.
Unfortunately, there's no bonus point, but I will keep your efforts in the back of my mind.
But here we ended up with one duck per contestant?
That's right, and that's not very good, however you look at it.
But after the break, we'll watch the rest of the gang.
I know they're very eager to tumble red duckies for all they're worth.
This is "Bäst i test", where we are currently tipping over red rubber ducks.
But absolutely no yellow ones. That puts you in the shame corner.
-Who will we see now? -He's been on many TV shows.
And so has she. Here is Rippe and Christine.
-Should I grab something, you think? -Come on, come on.
-I don't mean to stress you out, but there's 4 minutes and 5 seconds left. -Yes, yes, yes!
And then here's that thing about tape again.
-Is that a bowline knot? -No.
-I don't want to be in the shame corner. -It's the last thing we need.
Yes, so.
How good is that? It's good, right?
-She's going for double. -No, I'm not!
-We are on three. It's off. -Thank you!
Should a yellow duckie happen to fall off? Then it's straight off to the shed for you.
-Three minutes left. -Really?
55 seconds left. He can afford to be quite calm.
Okay, last one. Are you with me?
Boom, boom, boom. Fanfare!
Fanfare, David! Please.
-Here she comes! Christine Meltzer! -Here I go.
All red duckies are off.
-35 seconds to spare. -Should I do anything else?
I have to read.
Oh no, I don't have to be ashamed. I'm done. Stop it.
What? Did I miss a bread?
-Bread? [Bröd] -Red. [Röd]
-The yellow ones have to stay on. -That's what we want.
Yes.
I'm done. Stop it. Time is precious. Stop it. I'm taking this now. I'm done.
-Are you sure? -Thank you.
Thank you, David. Thank you, Thank you!
Yes, this was effective.
Very impressive that neither of you chose the risky strategy of going faster by pulling down more than one duck at a time.
Christine, you very much wanted him to stop the time.
But was that my responsibility? No.
-I don't know! Why did I say that? -David does that sometimes.
But did you stop it at the right time?
-It was in case you wanted to do something more. -You tricked me.
Yes, this crew got full marks.
As we saw, eight red duckies went down for Christine and Rippe.
But Christine was faster, with 3 minutes and 8 seconds.
Ahead of Rippe's 4 minutes and 23 seconds.
Christine in the lead. Let's watch Olle.
Olle, what have you done now?
Is that the board? "Get the red duckies off the board."
-They're on the board. -But if I get another board... Bravo, bravo.
Does the board have to be there?
I don't need to find a board. I've got my board.
Yes.
-Goodbye. -Oh, that's good. -Oh, so smart!
-What we don't want is a yellow one... -Hitting the dirt.
Goodbye. Yes!
-There are two minutes left. -Oh?
What?
-Can I get more red duckies? -If only there were some red duckies.
Where is...? Wait, what?
-Do you have more red duckies? -These are the ones we have.
What? These are the ones we have?
-20 seconds left. -20 left? Yes, yes.
-Ten... -Yes, yes, yes.
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.
-Sweaty. Now...? -Now is fine.
-Yes! -Have a good one.
-Do I go back in for now? -That's fine. Good job.
I just have to say, Olle, that was over-delivering.
Alfred and Gina, I don't need to rub it in.
Could it be some sort of mental illness?
No, No. Don't even think that. Let's add some scores instead.
How about we start with the bottom of the heap.
There may be some illness coming about. We don't know.
You had to be the fastest and get as many down as possible.
Alfred was quicker at getting his duck off compared to Gina.
That's 1 point to Gina, 2 to Alfred. Then over to the rope crew.
3 to Rippe, 4 to Christine, and then, no contest, 5 points go to Olle!
-Yes! -Thank you, Thank you.
Thank you.
With that, Babben, haven't we come to somewhere around the middle of the show?
If I remember correctly, there is usually a little bit of fun in the studio at this point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Just keep it short.
Okeydokey! Thank you, thank you, Babben. Cool introduction. Thank you! How fun.
I wanted to use this time to check our contestants pulse.
I will name a thing, and you will tell me "pulse" or "not pulse".
Quite simply. It's pretty simple... Rippe?
A sports car with the top down heading towards the sunset like...
-Pulse! -That's pulse?
Olle Sarri? Different things you can touch.
Pulse!
-Gina, sounds? -So much fucking pulse.
We had pulse there. How funny that you all are so hot for things, things and sounds.
Because it's time to play "Thing plus thing equals sound!"
Yes, we're about to play "Thing plus thing equals sound." Christ, how fun!
Rippe, you have a task beind you that you can read to your fellow contestants...
-...Babben, the audience and those at home. -Oh, how fun!
"Guess which two objects are making the sound."
"Most correct answers win."
You have some cards in front of you with different objects depicted.
I will bring out two objects and bang them against each other.
You will then hold up one card in one hand-
-and one card in the other hand, with the two objects used to create the sound.
-Does everyone understand? -Yes.
Prick your ears.
-Please, this is so hard. -That was not an easy one.
-Please hold them up. -Bottle and toaster for Rippe.
Frying pan and bottle for Christine. Saw and frying pan for Olle.
Frozen pizza and bottle. Saw and frying pan.
-David, can you tell us what we heard? -A bottle and a toaster.
-Rippe! -How the hell did you know that?
Moving on. Here is sound number two.
Please find your cards.
-Please present. -Thanks.
We have chicken, saw, chicken, frying pan, frying pan, chicken, chicken, frying pan-
-chicken and bottle.
What did you have, David?
It was a rubber chicken and a frying pan.
-I should have chosen that! Dammit! -What did I say? I should have, too.
-Moving on to sound number three. -Here it comes.
What two things being banged sagainst each other was that?
-It was one of these for sure. -What is it?
-We shall see. -Oh, for... Oh.
Hold them up. frozen pizza, rubber boot.
Frozen pizza, bottle. We have saw, rubber boot.
Rubber boot, frozen pizza and rubber boot, frozen pizza.
Wow, you are very much in agreement. What did you have, David?
It was a joining saw, also called a saw. And a frozen pizza.
-No one got it right. -No one did?
It's round number four. What are the two things?
Oh. Thank you.
-No. -Nuhu?
Please hold up your cards.
Rubber boot, egg, bottle, egg, rubber boot, crisp bread-
-cake, egg and boot, cream cake.
Can you tell us what we heard?
-It was crisp bread and egg. -Yes!
-Did you have that? -I was hesitant about those.
It's time for the fifth and final round.
-Here comes the sound. -Pay attention.
What was the sound? Go ahead.
Boot, cake. We have bottle, cake.
We have frozen pizza, cake, cake, boot, cake, boot.
-What did you have behind there? -It was a cake...
-...and a boot. -Yes, finally!
-Finally, full marks. -Christ, how nice.
and that is how we play "Thing plus thing equals sound!"
Yes. Wow, how cool and exciting it was.
Okay. Let's sum this all up. It's 1 point for Gina.
-Last again. Oh, I can't take it. -At this moment, that's what's happened, yes.
Olle gets 2 points. The 3 goes to Christine.
And then there were two contestants who each get 5 points.
-Rippe and Alfred! -Wow!
Righty-ho! And what are we competing for tonight?
Right, it's all the things used to make the cool sounds we just heard.
Tonight's winner will get to bring them home and try out different combinations...
-...and see which sounds they make. -Not bad. Almost terrible, in fact.
-Let's continue the competition. -Yes, indeed.
In this upcoming task, it can pay off to pay attention to both this and that.
-Hey, man. -Hey, man.
-Hey, man! -Hey, brother Earth.
-Howdy! -Did you catch the game last night?
-No. -What game?
You can step up to your spot. Oops! Too far.
-What? -Pepa, pepa. Salt and pepper.
Have you seen my little cat? [Well-known Swedish nursery rhyme]
Train is departing for Taskville. Toot, toot!
What is this?
-Can I approach now? -Why did you say all those things?
It feels like a dream.
"Go to the caravan."
"You have to enter the caravan within two minutes"-
-"after David leaves the lab."
Okay?
-Wait. I don't get it. -Within two minutes? Oh.
"You have to enter the caravan within two minutes after David..." I'm going now.
Christ, how confusing.
No, should I have memorized what was hanging in there?
No, you can't reasonably ask that.
But oh!
No... So fucking stupid.
"Recall the things hanging from the ceiling in the lab."
"Also recall the things David told you."
"Whoever recalls the most things win."
"You may not leave the caravan. You have three minutes. Your time starts now."
Let's see.
Yes, all they had to do was tell me what was hanging from the ceiling in the lab.
They also had to recall all the phrases I used when they entered the lab. All this in only three minutes.
And when we return, we will see if memory fails our heroes. We'll see you on the other side.
Welcome back to "Bäst i test". We have kicked off a memory task.
Our contestants started in the lab, and are now sitting in the caravan.
Their mission is to remember what was hanging from the ceiling, and what I said to them before they read the task.
Let's watch Gina and Alfred.
Wait. I have to focus now. Okay. What did you say?
Have you seen my little cat?
-Something about a cat. -Something about a cat?
-Did you catch the game last night? -Did you catch the game last night?
Train is departing for Taskville. Toot, toot!
Train is departing for... Norrköping.
This is the start of tasky.
-This is the start of tasky? -Tasky.
Ekerö? Södertälje? Copenhagen. Copenhagen?
Now it's time for tasky.
Fuck it. That's wrong.
First thing when I entered you said: "Hey there..."
Hey, man!
-Hey, man. -Hey, brother Earth.
Hey, bro.
One of those green poker caps hung from the ceiling.
-There was a heart-shaped comb hanging. -A hairbrush hung from the ceiling.
-There was a pig hanging from the ceiling. -A pig.
-A duck. -A duck hanging from the ceiling.
-Nothing else? -What else could you have said?
Five, four, three...
Toot, Toot! Here comes train for for Södertälje! Copenhagen? Köping?
I'll just tally it up.
-The things hanging from the ceiling were: -Nooo!
A rubber duck, apple, bicycle, moose, shield cap-
-piggy bank, a hairbrush, a red toilet paper roll-
-an oil lamp and a megaphone.
All of it was written here? Oh, come on!
I saw that.
-And chose to...? -Not look at it. -That can happen.
I saw it. I saw it!
Good job.
What the hell is an oil lamp? What does one even look like?
Alfred, how does it feel, having sat with the answer sheet in your hand without even knowing?
It feels horrible, especially since I saw it.
When I grabbed the task and opened it, that text fluttered before my eyes.
I thought there was a misprint from the printer or something. I didn't think it could mean something.
How many correct answers did these two memory artists get?
Gina ran straight out of the lab without really taking the room in.
She could only recall four correct things and phrases.
Alfred? Slightly better. Or perhaps a little lucky.
-Seven correct answers. -Good one.
Yes. Can one hope that maybe someone else paid more attention?
That question will be answered when Christine, Olle, and Rippe dig deep in their brain stems.
"You must enter the caravan within two minutes after David leaves the lab."
Within two minutes?
Oh?
Christ! Do I have to memorize?
I wonder if this might be something.
No, you are so smart!
Pig, reindeer and bicycle.
Are you allowed to do this?
Hey! Don't talk too much. I've memorized a lot of things.
But really, what weather we've been having.
Let's kick off with the yellow duck.
Pig, duck, bicycle. One of those megaphone thingies.
-Is it called megaphone? No. -Yes.
Oh! Let's see. It's not been two minutes yet.
Green shield cap, Red toilet roll, pink pig.
Oh! Yes.
Reindeer! A reindeer.
A small toy deer.
-I'll just write deer. -Or elk. Sort of.
Hairbrush. A balloon.
-Sorry? -A balloon.
-What was that? -One of those small ones.
-What color was it? -Yellow.
And what did I say to you earlier?
I noticed you saying things, but I can't remember what.
Did you catch the game last night?
Train departing for... Tällberga? [Tällberg is real; Tällberga is not]
-Do you want to help me remember what you said? -Nah.
-What you said was entirely irrelevant to me! -Okay.
-Oop, Oop! Too far forward. -Whoops! Too far.
That's all I can remember.
20 seconds left. If you remember anything, you're welcome to bring it up.
-Aja baja, cookie tasty. Is something you didn't say. -I'll write it down anyway. [light scolding term used to remind toddlers to not touch something.]
-Horn, did I say that? Horn. -Sure, absolutely.
-Well done. -Thank you.
I can leave now. So I will.
There we are. Olle, there is nothing written about not being allowed to take photos.
No.
-But your auditory memory wasn't very sharp. -Definitely not.
Rippe, you were in the lab the longest, but had no memories from it.
No. I was just thinking about which game.
-What was the score in that one? -What game did I miss?
-How many things could they recall? -Rippe spent a lot of time on the game.
Instead of memorizing, which the others did.
But he did recall three correct things and phrases for me in the trailer.
Christine and Alfred had seven correct.
But best of all was Olle with ten correct answers.
It's 1 point for Rippe. It's 2 points for Gina.
Christine and Alfred both get 4. But Olle once again takes the 5 points!
Yes! And now David, please tell us about the final task of the show.
Yes, I can, but also not.
Because it so happens that no one got the exact same task as anyone else.
Oh?
-Hello! -Yo.
Let's greet all our contestants.
Gina Dirawi! Christine Meltzer!
-Alfred Svensson! -Hey.
Olle Sarri! Jan Rippe!
Jan Rippe?
-Oh... Hello! -Hi!
-There we are. -"Draw one ball from each bowl."
"And form a task."
"Fastest to successfully complete three newly-formed tasks win."
"Your time starts on David's signal."
Yes, they had to draw three balls to randomize an entirely unique task.
Then complete that task, and continue like that until there were no more balls.
This can become anything!
Just ask Alfred, Olle and Christine. This is Task-Lotto.
-Your time starts now. -On this I read: "Get the ladder down."
"Get the ladder down." What ladder? Is it upstairs?
-"Phone a friend in the caravan." -In the caravan... -In the caravan.
-"You may not use your eyes." -"You may not move forwards."
"You may not use your hands."
You have to close your eyes now.
-Here we go. -Here we go!
-Get the ladder down. -I have absolutely no idea where I am.
-But sideways was okay. -I don't know where I am!
Oops! Yes, it's here.
-I'm not using my hands. -Ladder coming!
-Okay! -Call Anton Pudas.
-Answer. -Hello?
Hey there, Pudas!
-Done! -Welcome back into the studio.
First task is in the bag. Let's go for task number two.
-You're kidding! And it's timed? -Yes, it's the same time.
-How was Pudas doing? -Fine.
"Toss an egg." Fun.
-At someone! -No... -"At something blue."
-"From the balcony." Also fun! -"You may not use your hands."
"You may not use your eyes?"
"You may not move forwards." When?
-From now, or what? -Yes.
Blue side down.
-Hands in your pockets. -I can have them out.
-Your time starts now. -I can have my hands out.
-Backwards. -I have to get to the fridge.
There. Using my wrists.
-I'll bring two just in case. -David?
David?
I'm not using my hands.
Throw an egg at something blue, I think.
-Did you hit it, Olle? -I don't know!
-Good! -What do you mean, good?
I'm throwing now.
Done!
Here is the blue. Now I'm throwing egg.
-Did I hit it? -Boom!
It's time to draw for the final task.
Here it comes.
-There's only one combination left. -"Get the ladder down."
"Phone a friend!" You are my friend.
-"Phone a friend from the balcony." -From the balcony? Wow.
"On something blue." On something blue? What?
-"You may not use your hands." -"You may not use your eyes."
-"You may not move forwards." -Okay, go.
-There he goes. -Ouch!
-Do you need a phone? -I've got my phone.
Here's my phone. Can you get it out?
What?! Come on, David. We're buddies.
I'll go get mine. You can't look...
When? When I'm dialling?
-Just now it was when you were walking. -I'm doing it like this now.
But I'm in the studio.
I don't know where my phone is.
-I'm leaving now. -Yes!
Here it comes. Watch out, David.
Check it!
There. And we're off.
Yes, but okay. I'll get the phone.
-Putting it on my pants. -Yes?
Siri, call David Sundin.
Unknown number.
-Hello? -Hi, David.
It's Christine. Your buddy.
-Hi there! -Hello, Per. It's Olle Sarri. Calling from a balcony.
-Should I come down again, David? -Yes!
Say hi from me!
Let's welcome Alfred Svensson back into the studio. Good job.
-Thank you, buddy. Thank you. -Wow.
-The time is making things very clear. -Oh? Thumbs up.
We will be right back with a new, cool, task draw.
It's going to be fun.
Alfred, it's the second time you've called Pudas in a task. [S10E03]
-Tell us more about him. -He's always "top of mind".
-He seems very available. -Yes, he always picks up.
Doesn't he have a job?
He does, but it's not very serious. He has a lot of free time.
As long as his employer isn't seeing this. How much time did these three take?
Olle finished after 14 minutes and 46 seconds.
Christine was almost twice as fast with 7 minutes and 44 seconds.
But fastest so far is Alfred. 5 minutes and 54 seconds.
The question, then, is if Gina and Rippe can beat Alfred's time.
Yes, we will find out after the break.
Welcome back. Our contestants are randomizing three new tasks-
-that have to be completed as quickly as possible.
Will anyone beat Alfred's time of 5 minutes and 54 seconds?
Those who will try are Jan Rippe and Gina Dirawi.
A warm welcome to a new episode of Task-Lotto!
So your time starts now. You can do it in that order, too.
"Phone a friend."
-That one goes there. -"You may not use your eyes."
-We usually do... -Oh.
-"From the balcony." -"In the caravan."
-Phone a friend from the balcony. -"You may not use your eyes?"
"Phone a friend in the trailer. You may not use your eyes."
-Your time starts now. -Close your eyes.
-When you have called you may look. Then it's completed. Then we'll draw a new one. -Where's the caravan?
Straight from the studio. We are live.
There are the actual stairs.
There's some fucking shrubbery here now. Am I close or not close?
-No, it's the wrong room. -What the hell is this?
-What is this?! -There.
Where am I?
-I'm on the balcony now, right? -Feel free to dial.
-Yes, I know. -Without looking.
I can't continue without looking.
Call... Oh, god.
-You can talk to your phone. -I want to call.
How do you get this bitch going?
-Hey, Siri! -Hey, Siri.
Call Henke.
Is my button working?
Who am I calling now? Did I hang up?!
Hey, Siri... I want to call.
Hey, Siri. Call Sandra.
Is it ringing? Yes!
Can you please call Pelle Vallgren?
It's been eleven minutes.
No!
Hey there, Pelle!
-Hi! -Hi. Don't say anything secret.
-I called her. -Good job!
You can look now. Welcome back into the studio.
Christ, I did so well.
"Get the ladder down." What ladder?
-"From the balcony." -"In the caravan."
-Get the ladder down. -Is there a ladder in the caravan?
-"You may not use your hands." -"You may not use your hands." Oh, come off it!
-Your time starts now! -Okay. Is it ticking?
-The ladder. The caravan is there. -That ladder.
Yes, yes. There it is!
On the ground or down there?
-Are you using your hands? -No, I'm using this thing.
-Or...? -Look out now.
-You can use your arms. -Those aren't hands.
We'll hook elbows on that.
Welcome back into the studio, Gina Dirawi.
She's going to draw the very final task. How thrilling!
-"Throw an egg." -"At something blue!"
"You may not move forwards."
Throw an egg at something blue. You may not move forwards. Your time staerts now!
-Here is the fridge. -Does the floor count as blue?
Eggs are here.
-Yes! -This is blue, right?
Welcome back into the studio, Gina Dirawi. An egg has been thrown at something blue.
Quite right. I spared you and chose a small pot holder.
Thank you for that. We are now done. Three tasks have been completed.
Back to Babben and the studio.
Rippe, which of the three tasks were the hardest?
-Using that bitch Siri. -I hate her!
I didn't use her. She can keep right to herself.
-You timed this, right? -Yes, absolutely.
Rippe compelted all three tasks in 15 minutes and 26 seconds.
That time places him last-
-except Gina used her hands.
Yes, so it's 1 point for Gina. 2 for Rippe, who had the slowest time.
3 to Olle, 4 to Christine. And Alfred, 5 points!
And remember. Remember, everyone.
Tonight's winner will get all the things you can make sounds with.
We're talking toaster and a funny chicken.
It's frozen pizza and so much more.
It's not bad, but it's not good either.
But everything can happen, and everything can turn. Because it's time for the finale.
Yes indeed, it's time for the final. Oh, how exciting.
-Olle, please read the task. -Thank you.
"Pop the 21st balloon."
"You must throw between 1 and 3 darts per round."
"You must pop between 1 and 3 balloons in each round, or you will be eliminated."
"If you pop one of the dud balloons, you are eliminated."
"Whoever pops the 21st balloon wins."
"Unless it's a dud balloon."
Does anyone have any questions?
-How can you tell it's a dud balloon? -It will become clear.
-Are we ready? -Oh, yes!
Here we go. Gina Dirawi.
-Get your hedgehog and step up. -No, hell no.
Tricky with the dud.
How do you throw this?
-Yes! -One balloon popped.
Here is Alfred with his hog of hedge.
-That went well. We'll do that. -And now for Olle.
-So you shouldn't throw at many now? -You can if you want to.
-Good! -And so we welcome Christine.
She grabs a dart. Oh yes! One pop. Here comes Rippe.
The balloons are thinning out.
-Oh yeah. -And we are back with Gina.
Is this what the athletes feel like when they're in the Olympics? My god!
Yes, this is probably what it's like.
It was a dud balloon.
Someone is cursing me with the evil eye.
-Gina! -Alfred's turn.
-It could happen to the best of us. -Absolutely.
-Such anxiety. Which one do I pick? -Just go.
-No, it was a dud. A dud! -You can bring your hedgehog.
Ay, caramba! Here comes Olle Sarri. There may be more dud balloons.
There can't possibly be more. That would be nasty.
You are so confident. You do it with gravitas!
Is Christine throwing with gravitas? We shall see... Yes, there was gravitas.
Here comes Rippe. The balloons are thinning out.
To clarify, it's the popper of the final balloon that wins.
-Do you have any tactic? -No, No, No. Really not.
-I mean, you are so cool! -No, No.
-Nice! -Well done, Christine.
Then there's Olle.
-It may be decided now. -I'm afraid that one is filled with smoke.
-It wasn't. Christine! -I can't end up on 21 now.
Not this round.
-How many are you popping? -I'll start with one.
Here comes Rippe with a chance at winning.
Here he comes.
-Nice! -He's got one.
-What will he do? Will he go for gold? -It could be...
A dud balloon? That's correct.
-Eh! -What?! No, but, Rippe. Rippe!
-Rippe! -We have those dud balloons.
-It could be both of them. -No dud balloon.
The final balloon is popped by Olle Sarri!
Come join us, and we will see who wins tonight's show.
Wow, wow, wow! What a thrilling finale.
Let's divvy up the scores from this finale. Gina?
You get 1 point for this task, too.
Don't take it personally. Alfred, take it personally.
-Okay. -2 points for you.
I'm taking it personally.
Then in split second place. Rippe and Christine get 4 points.
Olle popped the 21st balloon and gets the 5 points!
Thank you, Thank you. Thank you.
As I usually do, I will add these scores to the previous ones.
Gina, you were on 10 points. With this final one, you end up on 11.
You'll take them all the way with you.
Rippe, adding your 4 lands you on 19 points.
Thank you for that.
Olle? You get 5 points here, which lands you on 25 points total.
That's good.
Christine, you got 4 points. Which means you end up with 27 total.
-Christine! -Thank you, Thank you.
My feeling is Alfred should maybe have gotten more.
But he only gets 26 points. Christine Meltzer wins!
That's what happens! That's what happens. Check it out. What have we got here, then?
-There's crisp bread, eggs... -What did we learn tonight?
Well, all of a sudden you may hit a dud balloon.
Pancakes are best served mid-air.
And the train goes to Taskville, and nowhere else.
"Bäst i test" can be found on TV4 Play. You know it.
We will see you in a week. Goodbye! Come, let's congratulate Christine.
