"Read the letter 100 times"
Welcome to Kongen Befaler and the season's last program.
The excitement is palpable. Someone is going home with-
-the biggest the honor of all:
A bust in pure, real, solid gold of me.
To know who wins, we need to know how many minutes, -
-seconds, meters, and kilos the participants have performed.
That's why you're here, my good man Olli Wermskog.
Good man. That's a compliment.
Imagine this: After this program, -
-the bust, at home in a glass display case in the middle -
-of one of the participants' living rooms, lit by a spotlight. Isn't that completely awesome-
-to think about? Those who can win it are Erik [Follestad].
It's Linn [Skåber].
It's Egil [Hegerberg].
It's Trond [Fausa Aurvåg].
And that's Jenny [Skavlan].
Look at that gang. How great you are. You have adorned yourselves.
Or gone into character, as it's called.
-What a lovely bunch! -Thank you very much.
-Shall we see how it's gone? -Let's take a look.
-Look here! -Oi.
It's a long way up, Egil.
When one has faith, it can move mountains.
I've been getting a lot of good feedback lately.
And this time I will post a proper final sprint.
Because it doesn't take more than that you win all the tasks.
And that Trond gets some minus points in all the tasks.
If I win all of them and he gets five minus points, we're there.
Yes, the most important thing is to have faith and hope.
I completely agree. Jenny? You've been in the middle a lot, -
-but now it looks like you're aiming for the top.
-That's what I'm doing. -Are you going to take them on cardio?
-Yes, I'm going for victory. -Yes, you are?
But I think it's within reach.
What do you think, Trond? You've been leading almost since the beginning.
It was bitter to break out on the run-up side.
-I won't throw you out. -Second place for me is to break out.
But then I tremble with excitement. Here it's just a matter of getting started!
In the first task, the participants have brought something.
They will perform a task you have created, Atle.
Today the task is: "Bring something you use too much ..."
- "... or too little." - It's a fairly open task.
But it's possible to get it done sharply. You have a whole-
tarpaulin, closest, Erik. We start with you.
I have a mirror with me.
Now think ... Shall we see ....
Now you might think that I look at myself a lot in the mirror since I'm so pretty.
That's wrong. For my father sent me a message-
-after the first four programs.
And then he said, "You have to start looking in the mirror, you daydream."
You can't be so bad.
I have had my passport signed by my father to see myself in the mirror.
So good. So it needed such a large mirror.
-Yes, I'm a big man. -Yes, you are.
-Jenny? -I really recognize myself in that.
I also have a pretty strict father, -
-but he has been so proud of me in this program.
Especially when I got a whole pineapple in my tights.
Then I got applause from home.
Yes, so great.
I have brought a filter, -
-which must be in the dryer.
For the man I live with, Thomas, who you know uses egg dots.
He is concerned with optimizing our household items at home.
And every dryer has one filter.
Very often the dryer says: "Now you have to clean the filter."
Thomas listens very much to these machines. I ignore them.
I just do something and keep going. But Thomas-
-have gone on the internet to buy an extra filter.
At home we have two filters for the dryer.
So when the dryer says, "Wash the filter,"
Thomas washes the filter and brings out a new filter.
How do you answer the question?
Thomas uses it too much. I use it, according to him, far too little.
-Linn. -I have chosen alternative number two.
The fact that you use something too little. This is something I use far too rarely.
-What...? -It is...
Is it a garment?
-Yes, it's a swimsuit. -Does it fit you?
-I have proof of that. -Evidence that it fits you?
-Can we see evidence? -It fits perfectly.
-Are you completely paralyzed in the face? -I am shocked.
It really fits. It sits like a shot.
I have to assure you my head is not on Vendela Kirsebom's body. [model]
It's not Sports Illustrated by her.
-It's your head and your body? -Yes.
-No Photoshop? -Jenny, are you proud?
It's absolutely beautiful. I'm sure Erik has this in private.
It feels like a garment Erik has under his hockey suit.
-Yes, it's very suspicious. -Yes, I'm wearing it there.
I don't doubt that. Stripper-Erik.
-This was this summer? -Yes, one night this summer.
I asked if anyone had a bathing suit lying around. And they did!
You look absolutely beautiful. Really, you do.
-You've used it. -Yes, but far too rarely.
I haven't used it since.
We go from the Countess to the butler.
What do you have under the blanket or shawl?
I have something I have used way too much.
That you have!
How many are there? You have three different ones?
-How many owls do you have? -There's a section on Finn. [Amazon-like site]
I have throughout the season ...
It will be modern again. I want one like that.
It's a family, you can find them on Finn. Many will buy these now.
And you have earned so many points, too. You have three pieces.
I thought it was reuse, but you have a family.
It saves you from saying you've used them too much, because you have.
Far beyond the pain line. But impressive.
-We're missing Egil. -I have something with me that I use-
-too much and too little.
-Both parts in one? -It's cycling pants.
I will never use them again.
And that's way too much.
Yes...
Almost never too much? For never should have been right?
-Yes. -You wore them?
-I have used these. -On a bicycle or as a costume?
Both. Once each.
You've used them twice?
-Everything is solved correctly. -Have you made up your mind?
Yeah, I suppose maybe I have.
But not necessarily with everyone. Shall we take the winner right away?
-You're welcome. -Linn, you'll get it.
I was so scared of the owls, they were better than mine.
Yes I understand that. But when you offer so much, you get it.
-Five delicious points. -I actually deserve it.
Yes, you do. Five delicious points there.
Trond, you should actually get four for those owls. It's way too many-
-points for something which is used far too much.
It's probably pointless that I still think it's funny.
I think it hurts me the most that I give you so many points.
Four points for it.
You'll get three for the filter, Jenny. Believe it or not.
I think so. Believe it or not.
I find it difficult to understand those owls.
Now someone has the opportunity to win all three.
-Erik sits and mumbles. -Are you talking to yourself?
At least I'm talking now.
I said, "Yeah, Jenny gets three points for a filter."
Then I reckon I get one point.
Yes! You do. Two points to you, Egil.
Great, then the points are distributed. Great start for everyone.
-The swimsuit is better than the mirror? -Yes, but not much else.
-Now we will take a trip to the house. -We start with a task-
-which seems tailored to Linn. Empty the bottles as fast as possible!
-Good day. -Good day.
Oi, look here, you! There's a tiny little bottle.
-It's very cute. -Oh well?
"Empty the bottles. The task is over when all the bottles are empty."
"Time starts when the first drop leaves a bottle."
So I'll just pour everything into that bucket, I think.
The task is to empty all the bottles of liquid. Fastest wins.
But time doesn't start until the first drop leaves a bottle.
And it doesn't say anything in the letter that the bottles must be emptied in the bucket.
Even if it's not wine, you have a lot of experience in emptying bottles.
I don't usually rinse down ... wash it down. I'm not doing that.
No, you do not do champagne tasting at Solli plass. [plaza in Oslo]
It's going down the throat. Trutamanget must get it.
Shall we look at Linn? Then we'll look at Linn and Egil.
-Yes, we will. -Scary.
You feel like I might need a strategy?
-Yes... -I have a loud and cutting voice.
I could try to make a tone that makes all the glasses crack.
The tactic is to sit down and enjoy myself a little and spend some time ...
Have everything together. So now I do the shit job first.
It's important not to run into anything now.
Because then the first drop is played.
-Then you felt a drop disappear. -Then the time has started.
Is that the drop you're thinking about? So any strategy is gone.
For now, instead, panic ensues and one only goes for the most obvious.
And you just pour out up here.
-Are you enjoying yourself now? -This is very nice.
You have to do the tasks so you get a little cozy.
Now there are some who haven't thought that you have to get more things to pour in.
It's like working at a bar.
Like that.
Look here, yes. Multitasking. It goes well.
I was about to forget the yellow one.
-And then we're ashore. Thanks. -Time has stopped.
-Goodbye. -Ta!
I don't see many more bottles, but it may be a bunch.
I don't see anything more, so ... No.
Except ... This is not a bottle, but more a vial.
-Or one ... -Then I stop time.
Yes, great. Thank you.
Egil, you don't strike me as a guy who double checks everything, -
-but here you did it in a way and was saved by luck.
Yes, I had some sort of strategy to find ...
And then it turns out that I have the sensory organs more in my shoes.
Had I been more aware of it, I could've solved several of the tasks better.
Bottle-seeking bones?
It was solved. But it was nice how you had to change the strategy.
-It disappeared. -It was a head start!
Linn, I recognize your method. If you're going to sit on the couch, -
-then make sure everything you need the next few hours is in place.
It's so tiring if I've put those things far away on the living room table.
But it was scary to be put together with Egil.
Egil seemed very slow. And then they come fast now.
-I was unsure ... -We'll see.
Egil spent 4 minutes and 4 seconds.
You spent 2.5 minutes and lead so far.
-It's a good start. -Yes, I think so.
It's wonderfully impressive. I think the program is so inspiring-
-for athletes. They must really see dedication.
Agility, speed, things like that.
I didn't think about that at all.
We'll see then, Jenny, if you can beat Linn.
She can. We can look at the rest of the gang.
I think I have to bring them up-
-and throw them out the window.
Olli! I'm up here.
Is it about emptying the bottles in the shortest possible time?
There are many bottles.
-Then time has started. -It's not a bottle?
Hell ...
I was going to spend some time and be a little smart.
Then you have placed the world's smallest test tube-
-around the corner there. That was nice.
I go for the Erik Follestad method.
-Is this the best possible solution? -Who the hell knows.
What should I do? Crush the bottles?
No, now I'm giving them hell. Like that.
Like that, now I'm done. Top!
Goodbye.
Ready, set, go!
-Oh, that was a wonderful feeling! -I'm finished.
Either I do it well or very badly.
It's a bit like in life otherwise.
Yes, there were zero points, as in life otherwise.
-It's starting to become a habit. -Yes.
-You overlooked a tiny little bottle. -I thought I overturned it at first.
-Yes, but it wasn't probably completely empty. -There were more?
-Or then it wasn't completely empty. -Oh yes. Of course.
I gave up a long time ago.
-No danger. -Now I shit a little in it.
You're used to it being a regular.
There's a bit to talk about with you too, Trond.
This method with the ice hockey stick. That wasn't so much a joke, was it?
I now see that there are smarter methods.
Yes, you managed to overturn the bottles, before you had to empty them anyway.
But my bottles were crammed, and I didn't even dare take them.
-In fear of ... -They were very drunk.
Jenny, brilliant. It couldn't have been a matter of seconds.
I couldn't even measure it. One hundredth.
One hundredth ... from the time they hit the ground until they were crushed.
-It's a short time. -I'm trying to hide my face.
I have learned on the program that I can get a little high on myself.
-Are you high on yourself now? -It looks like you're happy.
The solution went pretty well on top of the other solutions.
-But I have a small clip. -Is that a "but"?
I have a small clip. Let's look at that.
-No, Olli. -See, yes.
Then I put all the bottles here.
Oh no, there came a drop!
It's something that happens when you get high on yourself.
Jenny, so ingenious, yet so sleek and lax.
-Yes, but ... -It means the clock started ticking-
-a little before you had ambitions.
It will be exciting to see how long before.
Am I talking about how smart I am while putting the bottles on the table?
Shall we see if you beat Linn with his 2:30?
If she ends up back in the lead? Jenny you actually spent 2 minutes-
-and 37 seconds. Thus, it is Linn who wins.
-Not true! -Yes, Linn gets five points, -
-and you get four, Jenny. -I'm getting four.
In total today, the position looks like this:
There, yes!
-Jenny on others. -Erik!
-Yes, you said you had given up. -Now I have at least given up.
It's a little bit up, but ... It's not over until it's over.
I think it's very nice here. It's fun to be with you, Erik.
Yes, I've made friends for life. I'm enjoying myself.
Yes, it's a good atmosphere. Everything goes smoothly.
And therefore I would like to wrap up by saying ... Stay tuned.
TV professional strong transition. I want to see something that completely derails.
-Hello. -Hi.
This looks simple. I like that.
"Keep the train on the rails for as long as possible. The trip is over when the train stops-
-or leaves the rails." -"You cannot touch the train. Take your seats!"
Oi! Shall I...
Here it's important to be fast and keep the train on track-
without touching it or stopping it.
Whoever manages to keep the train on the rails the longest wins.
How it goes, we'll see after the break.
Welcome back to Kongen Befaler! We will look at Trond and Linn, -
-who try to keep the train on the rails as long as they can.
"Take your seats!"
Oi, should I ...
I'm not touching it.
-It can't stand still. -Hell.
"... stop ..." Hell.
Oi, look at that! I didn't see that. Lots of effects-
-which could've helped me. Linn hasn't seen that box either.
Oh, I don't understand anything. Oh yes. Exactly!
-Like that. -Shit.
-Thank you. -Thanks.
-Ok ... -Thanks.
Trond, you were right in your assumption about Linn.
But there were no extra points.
It might have helped with those rails.
Yes, of course. But it doesn't help when you don't see them.
No, you never really got started.
You looked very sloppy.
Yes, it looks so easy. Like child's play.
You assume you have to get to it.
The train doesn't go so fast, but surprisingly fast.
None of you were in the room for long.
Do you want times? 14.5 seconds for Linn.
And 16.5 seconds for Trond.
-So yes ... -Should we see if anything goes better-
-with the rest? Jenny, Egil and Erik.
Let's see. A small train track. Here are a few more pieces.
"Keep the train on the rails for as long as possible." Now press the button!
I will try to make as long a path as possible without it falling off.
-Let's see. -What's the plan?
I don't know. Yes, I have a plan. Now it's going fast.
Oh, my God, here it comes! I have to build a ring!
It didn't help. Oh! It went well.
I keep it going. No, this is going too fast.
It's going too fast! Come on! Oh my God!
Now I can't ... No!
Is this possible? Like that?
Now you have to wait until the battery runs out. Then find your coffee and sit down.
You don't gloat as much as I would expect.
Are you afraid you didn't do it right?
I'm afraid of that too, yes.
And then it's just having a little fingertip feeling.
Then you solve that task. I'm at the bottom.
It was so easy to get you gloating.
You heard the word "gloat". Thought I should gloat.
But you got it. You can relax.
This is perfectly solved. I came up now when I saw you, Egil, -
-that I love to see you fast.
Because you don't do much. You dress badly to hurry.
-I have to end that completely. -Yes, it doesn't help anything.
This helped a lot! I didn't get zero points.
-I withdraw everything. -I'm going to hurry a lot more.
Yes, because there has been too little hurrying throughout the season.
There should've been more running.
-Funny you say that. -You haven't run one meter.
You don't mind watching others run.
It's fun to watch people run. Egil and I are fun to watch.
-That's not quite right. -It's absolutely right.
-How was it? -We have times.
-It was ... -Erik won?
Erik won, yes. You stay on the bottom.
But then it was 21 seconds for Egil and 33 seconds for Jenny.
There are four points, and five points at the top.
Lovely. Five deserved points for Erik.
Olli, I think there is too little focus on outdoor life on the program.
It would've been nice if we could attract some viewers-
-from Lars Monsen. [adventurer] We tried it with the vest to Erik.
We didn't make it. So now we try again.
Can you give me something with tents, campfires, and outdoor activities?
It looks like an IQ test.
-Do you eat anything? -I found a Christmas marzipan in my pocket.
I was a little fussy about something sweet.
"Burn the string so the bell rings.
You cannot move the fire pit, the string, or the tent."
"You have to be inside the tent with your head out the opening when the bell rings.
Fastest wins.
Time starts now."
-Where's a lighter? -Did you ask me?
Yes.
Yes, a fire pit and a play tent. It gives associations to IQ testing?
Yes, that's the domino effect I'm not fond of.
Here's the trouble. But I am very proud of the task, I think.
-So I don't think it goes so bad. -You have faith?
-Really believe! -Then it might go well, yes.
-Shall we see? -Yes, here it is.
-Just don't move anything. Head out of the hole in the tent, -
-while the string burns over. Reasonably simple and straightforward.
-Yes, let's look at Trond. -That could be fun.
Then I have to take ...
... this one with me into the tent.
And then burn over there.
No, hell!
Now ... Come on.
If I burn over ...
-Get that letter. -Yes.
No, the string! Hell!
You cannot move the string, yes.
I can only say that I will start again.
Without you saying I'm disqualified.
Nothing happened.
I'm just betting that it's allowed to try again.
And then ...
... I'm going back to the tent.
Like that.
This is probably correct. One must always read the task 100 times-
-before starting.
Trond, can you repeat the last thing you said?
I always have to read the task 100 times before I start.
It was very fascinating that you double check for the thread-
-and then you fail to read that you cannot move the tent either.
-No, it's true. -There was a lot to take in at once.
-Yes, there was ... -There was a lot, but little point.
-Yes, it will be rejected. -Yes, zero points.
I think we have more happy campfires lurking.
Here come the rest.
I have to make a fuse.
Then I just have to ... If this then ...
... attached here.
Then we have to pepper the fuse with flammable agent so it burns.
Hell!
We can do that very easily.
I have to start using my head sooner.
Now it needs a long ... What's it called? Not matches. Lighter.
Like that, now it's standing and ticking and walking.
Like that.
Let's see.
This is going well!
Let's see.
Like that!
-Like that. -Should I now start crawling fast, -
- and then wear a hat? -Yes.
No. It's burning now.
-I'm stopping time. -I hope not everyone was equally smart.
Without stress, I pull off the rope.
We can do it!
Oh, it was lovely to see!
Soon!
Oi!
That was what held back.
Welcome back. Yes, Linn, you choose to solve problems-
-with only things you already have in hand. This time it was brilliant.
-It went very well. -The letter worked very well.
I made a small construction and am very happy with the solution.
You had reason to have hopes. It went well.
I want to hear from you, Egil. If you could do three things differently, -
-what three things would they be?
Taken off the down jacket before I went into the tent.
It was some real shit. I really liked your fall.
It doesn't look dramatic, but remember that the arms are down the side.
And the bones are gathered. You fight a little.
Yes then, it was worth it for a good solution.
When there are so many points. You sacrifice that, then.
-He should've been in the tent. -Yes, he should've been in the tent.
-I was a little ironic. -If I could change one more thing, -
-it would be that I should've continued to burn it off before I ...
-Was it finally almost scorched off? -Yes, I got tired of trying it.
-I thought I should keep the string. -Not a good idea.
The problem was that you couldn't set the heat directly on the string.
I stopped by. So if I had focused ...
That's one of the things I could have done better.
-Jenny, happy? -Whether I win or not, -
-I made my first fuse. And the feeling of lighting a fuse, -
-it's so underrated.
We west side girls haven't lit so many fuses on Bygdøy. [arts/rec area near Oslo]
Here I think I might have made a different choice professionally.
If there's a Dynamite Harry [comedy film character] role for women.
-Dynamite Jenny. It was fun! -TNT-Jenny is amazing.
There must be something. But it was very well delivered!
-We have some numbers. -Yes, two are rejected.
Egil and Trond, zero points.
You wandered around quite a bit before you came up with the different ideas.
Jenny, it's third place. With 7 minutes and 55 seconds.
Linn and Erik are quite close.
But Linn, you're the fastest. 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
Erik, 4 minutes and 34 seconds.
Gorgeous. Another victory.
I have won all the tasks so far.
That's what I'm saying. It's enough of a victory.
It's probably one in three. It's completely wild.
Imagine if you win the whole program, Linn.
Then we have to see how you are doing in total throughout the season, -
-before the last task. Show the board.
Oi, there are two points between Jenny and Trond.
Talk about rubbing salt in my wounds - d'oh! There's a fight for third place as well.
Between Linn, who has come properly on the field, -
-and is hot on the heels of Erik, as now are out of luck in the first place.
Two matches in the match, that is.
Egil, you have to be content with competing against yourself.
That's often the best type of competition.
-I heard them say. -I still have some threats.
Good, because it has to be decided now and here on the floor. Come on.
Yes, it's the last task of the season.
Trond. Letter. Read.
Ok.
"Bounce up from the chair before the slice of bread.
The one who pops up the closest to when the toast is finished wins.
Bounce up after the toast, and you score zero points."
-But do we know what level it is at? -Level two.
Two?
Do you know how brown toast we are going to get to?
-Level two-brown. -Level two-brown toast.
We'll see. I don't have the answer to that.
You should sit for as long as you dare, before you bounce up.
If the toast pops up before you, there are zero points.
You will lose. Ok?
You have blindfolds. So put them on now.
Then I'll start this thing here.
Let's see. Down here. And then one, two, three!
-Are we up and running now? -Yes.
-That there is ... -Hush, I'm counting.
No, now I lost count. Hell!
Trond? Trond, what time is it?
Trond? Trond?
You who cheer for me, disturb Trond.
-Yes. -Linn? Are you with me?
Yes. Girls backing girls, it's time.
-Trond, where are you? -I'm here.
Fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twelve.
Oi. Now I feel that someone has risen.
Is there anyone who...? Linn, who are you sitting between?
No, you should ...
-And time's up. -It is.
Shall we take a summary of how it went down in the seats?
Yes, there is excitement here now.
It's palpable. Here is the total score before the last task.
We know that there were two points between the roosters and the hens.
And then it was very even in the middle.
And then it was even between Egil.
I've been counting on it. I don't need more than 30 points-
-to step into the lead.
Of the last five points, you only need 30.
Then it's sitting. It's good rain.
-Shall we go to the last task? -Yes, for you sitting at home, -
-know it, but you here don't know.
Here is the result. There was one who did not get up at all.
And that was Erik. So you get zero points.
-Was I not exactly on? -No, right after.
Then there was one who got up after about 8-10 seconds.
-Then Trond got up. -Did you do it?
-Two points. -Did I do that?
Linn, you got up right after Trond. You get three points.
You end up the same.
Then it's between Egil and Jenny. You got up last, Jenny. Five points.
-No! -It means that the winners-
-of today's program are Jenny and Linn. But it also means that the total winner-
-is Jenny! One measely little point.
That's devastating in many ways.
Trond has led throughout the season.
Then he was beaten at the finish line.
-It must be a little painful. -It's very painful.
Well, it's ... I ... We are alike?
-We are the same, yes. And that's fine. -It's okay.
It's okay.
No, it didn't live up to expectations. But Jenny, -
-Congratulations! It's well deserved. You have been steady and nice.
And comes at the end. For a perfect distribution of energy!
Come and receive this!
Well deserved! It is very common to kiss it on the moon.
Stand here and celebrate as you wish.
Sorry I'm getting so unsympathetic. I'm not used to winning.
I won the lottery of life, -
-but I'm not used to winning competitions. It clicks.
-No one asked for a thank-you speech. -Hush!
-Yes, I won. -He will wrap up the program.
I have won Kongen Befaler, Erik!
With the thank you speech as the soundtrack, we wrap up the program.
Congratulations to Jenny Skavlan. That's it. We will certainly return.
Enjoy yourselves, and so long!
