"Kløfta's Robin Hood"
Welcome to Kongen Befaler.
We're excited as we open the show that leads us halfway
into season 11 and closer to the winner
of what has set the gold standard for busts, which is...
...a bust in gold of me!
He sets the standard for stopwatch clicking and tape measure swinging,
Olli Wermskog!
Thank you very much for the gold standard of an introduction.
Does it make you sad that you'll never own one of these?
That I'd have your head staring at me
at home in my living room at all times?
Uh... Not sure if...
No! - But...
Five others, who, with 100% certainty, would risk life and limb
to have my gilded head in their living room...
Snorre Monsson!
Amalie Stuve!
Anne Marit Jacobsen!
Abu Hussain!
And Alex Rosén!
Was that a dab we saw there, Snorre? - Yeah.
The worst thing I've ever seen.
I regret it. - You were embarrassed.
You know it's filmed? It can be taken out of context.
I did a dab. - Oh, yeah.
Don't do that.
Shall we begin? I've asked you to bring something very narrow.
There could be several meanings to it. "Bring something very narrow."
I'd like to start with you, Snorre.
I've brought something very narrow. I've brought you...
...garlic sliced with a razor blade.
You might have seen The Godfather, where Paulie is in prison,
and slices the garlic as thinly as possible with a razor blade,
so it can melt in the pan with olive oil.
It's not just a very narrow slice, but a very narrow reference as well.
I don't think it's The Godfather. I think it's Goodfellas.
Amalie, you're next.
I've brought something very narrow with me.
I've brought in tweezers.
Because towards the end of primary school, I chose to pluck the mono.
The mono? - The mono, yeah.
The brow between here. - You've actually got a mono? Great!
I've got stereo.
Do we send you on a course? - It's a long one.
Anne Marit's on a course. That's good.
And then I got compliments when I came to school without mono.
So I plucked a bit more. Got more compliments, plucked more brows,
got more compliments, until I didn't get compliments about anything.
Because this is how I ended up looking.
Wow! - Yeah.
So that's when I got sperm eyebrows.
Which have been illegally parked. - Who said it looked like sperm?
My mum. But you want to...
You don't want to listen to that. "Why can't I get a boyfriend?"
This is why. - Did it make you feel self-conscious?
Did you think... - I thought it was really cool.
Ever since then, I realise it's really narrow.
You didn't take criticism? That's the most important thing.
Your job as a teenager is not to take anything in.
That was narrow. Beautiful. Thank you!
We can't escape what you brought, Alex.
I brought something very narrow. I'm interested in a narrow thing.
Villages in Norway. - Villages?
Yeah. I'm village crazy.
I go around announcing the village of the week on Radio Rock.
If they win Village of the Year, I'll go there and meet the mayor
and I hand this over, which is,
the yucca palm!
And the yucca palm...
The yucca palm is yours if your village wins Village of the Year.
I travel around, giving the yucca palm to the mayor.
Here you go. I'm at Åna-Sira. There were two mayors in Åna-Sira,
because the municipal border follows the river.
One came from Hauane, and another from Flekkefjord.
They had to share it, but it stayed in Åna-Sira. Both tried to swipe it.
It's the yucca palm. Village of the Year!
It's narrow enough.
It's right. It's narrow.
Okay, Abu.
I'm not really a book reader. Not a big fan of literature in general.
But the 28-year-old me
decided to write the world's narrowest biography.
Have you published a book?
"IF I WERE WHITE I wouldn't have written this book"
It used to be a bit thicker. Now it's come in the pocket version.
It's even smaller. - It's more of a brochure.
It's narrow in many ways. Under 100 pages.
14 of them are the forewords.
By other famous people? Did it sell well?
Eight copies. - Eight of them.
That's not bad. - It's narrow enough.
That was beautiful. Thank you.
Anne Marit? - Yes.
I've been given a gift that I'm having a lot of trouble with.
What...
Here it says,
"Huzzah for you, dear Anne Marit."
"Here you have a friend for the rest of your life."
"Use it unbridled, and enjoy every second."
"Two to three times a week is enough"
"to give you the optimum welfare and joy."
"Enjoy and don't stress."
"Hugs and all that goodness from Wenche."
I can see what this looks like.
But what's it for? - Bad Atle!
"Looks like." - Teapot?
But is it for anything concrete?
Nose flusher, I was told. - Nose flusher?
They've been a bit unlucky with the design.
They must have thought along the way, "That's a funny shape, isn't it?"
There's something about it. I think it's very similar.
It's long and thin and nice.
It's not narrow. - Isn't it narrow?
Yes! It's not narrow at all.
It's fucking narrow.
It's narrow.
You're sacrificing so much to make sure she doesn't get points.
The sacrificial type.
Yes, points? - Yeah...
This isn't easy.
You'll get 1, Snorre.
Shit... - I'm sorry.
Fierce competition.
I'll give you 2, Amalie. - I'll take it.
There's really good grazing out here. You can tell this is good stuff.
You get 3, Abu.
Anne Marit, I'm giving you 4, and you'll get 5, Alex.
The yucca palm! - Look at us now.
It's time for a tower task.
Yeah. - A long time since we've had one.
It's long overdue. - Long overdue?
It's not. It's short overdue. - Yes.
Good day. - Hi.
Okay. Let's go, let's go!
"Make the tallest tower."
"You have five minutes to gather your materials."
"Olli will deduct 10 centimetres for every item you don't use."
"You must stack each thing on the previous thing within five seconds."
"Your task is over when you're satisfied,"
"or if you don't add an item within the timeframe."
"Your time starts now."
Okay.
Yes. - Okay, yes.
We're talking a tower task here. - They will be building towers.
They have five minutes to gather items.
Once they add one item,
they'll have five seconds to add new items. Otherwise, the task is over.
Yes. They'll be deducted 10 centimetres for each item
they've found but don't use. - Good task.
You have to consider how tall you can build, how fast you can go.
That's the essence of it. Shall we just take a look at...
...the whole crew? - The lot.
Tall things. Finding tall things.
A lot of shoddy things.
You're finding stuff I had no idea we had.
There's a lot of stuff in here. - Yeah.
That's fucking tall.
Let's do that one first. There you go.
I'm a big builder.
Here we go. Those were bullshit.
This is better, you see.
You want to build using this? - Yes. I'll start now.
That's your time up.
What did you say? - I stopped the time.
Stopped the time? - I stopped the time.
You only had five seconds to add each item.
That was stupid.
There.
Ready, set, go!
Done. - Yes.
It's at least two metres. At least. 2.20 to 2.30.
Otherwise, you have to jump to add more. I'm pretty happy.
That's your time up.
Huh?
You had five seconds to put on each item.
Yes. - Yes.
Did I spend over five seconds? - You spent 10 seconds on it.
Like this!
The time starts in three, two, one. There!
Building.
Okay. - Building.
Building.
- Yeah.
So the tower is from the ground here, up, cushion, skates and...
The Rubik's Cube.
It didn't say how long the tower had to stand.
Two, one, there!
I'll probably win that one.
Yeah.
Here, the younger guard thinks a bit outside the box in many ways.
A pipe tower, which stands just long enough for it to be valid.
Not to mention your tower, Amalie, which is string...
...up to a banister with a pillow on top.
And a Rubik's Cube.
What can we say?
What do you think about the constructions, as they're called?
Are they towers? Would you say they're towers?
At least mine is.
Is Amalie's a tower?
I'll approve. - Yeah.
There you go. - Not towers to live in, but...
No, but it's good. We'll come back to the results.
But a string is not a tower, and a pipe is not a tower.
You're grasping at straws. - And paint cans are towers?
You put them on top of each other. - Baby chair is tower?
And sawdust... A sawdust bag, is that a tower?
Yeah, when it's on top of a tower. - Yeah.
Obviously, there's quite a few building technical regulations.
Few of them say, "When you're going to make a tower, start with string."
For example.
But that bag also carries sawdust and a lot of other stuff here.
There was nothing about that in the task.
It's at the very limits of what a tower is.
You'll pass if you promise to be ashamed of yourself, Amalie.
Gladly. Oh... Oh, no! - Good, good!
Stupid, stupid. - You could have put it on a rock,
and it would be two parts, not just one element.
I'll accept if you also promise to be ashamed.
Let's be ashamed.
You say, Abu, that it's impossible to build towers taller than 2.68.
At least more than...
Have you spoken to Mr. Eiffel?
Mr. Eiffel!
At the time, it was impossible. - Yes.
We need some results. We just said everything is approved.
Okay. Anne Marit, you built an 88 centimetre tall tower.
You laid out a lot of things that you didn't use.
So you're at minus 62 centimetres. - No!
You've basically built a basement.
A basement tower. - That's something.
And then we've got Alex. You built a 194 centimetre tower.
You get minus 100, so you're at 94.
Then there's Abu in third place, with 268.
It's pretty close between the two of you. Snorre had 620 centimetres.
And Amalie, you had 638. You have the tallest tower and 5 points.
Congratulations! We can see the scores here.
And in this episode the scores are...
Yeah, yeah. It's super close.
So close there's no point in mentioning it. Now to commercials.
Don't despair. We'll be back in a bit.
Now it's time to see a low-level bucket task
that has to deal with high-level buckets.
Yeah. A sort of low threshold bucket?
And water. - Yeah. All of this and more.
Hello.
Yeah, yeah. - It's going over your nose.
You're going for double points? - Sure.
Hi there!
It was small. And cute.
What should I use it for?
"Get as much water as possible from big to small bucket."
"You can't touch the small bucket."
"Most water in the buckets..."
"Most water in the buckets in two and a half minutes wins."
"Your time starts now."
Where's the big bucket then?
What bucket? - There's the small one.
Where's the big one?
It's very big and clear.
It's probably right behind here or something.
It's somewhere. Where's the big bucket?
There it is! I knew it.
Clever.
Yes! People who don't see what's right in front of their eyes,
I never get tired of it. It just keeps on giving.
It's about raising your eyes from there to there.
It's about intelligence.
It is.
Intelligence, and looking straight ahead all the time.
How easy is it to get as much water as possible from a big bucket
to a small bucket that you're not allowed to touch?
That's what we'll find out. And whether it paid off for Abu to wear
the flamingo suit now, which gives double points
if you do well. We'll see if it was a good move.
Should we start with him or...
We'll start with the youngest first, Amalie and Snorre.
There...
There's the big bucket.
First, I'll get water from that one to there.
Now it's full.
Happy? - Very.
Can you hold this? - Yes.
It said "Most water in the buckets."
Like this.
Two... one...
That's exemplarily done.
Yes. Very neatly delivered. Not a huge mess and Amalie's thinking ahead
and getting more water and filling up the bucket.
It can't be done much better than that?
That's the way it should and must be done.
That doesn't mean there aren't more ways.
There are many ways.
We have three people who can take care of it.
Oh, shit!
As much water as possible from the big bucket to the small bucket?
Can it hold 100 kilos? - It will.
Like this. No, gosh! This is daunting.
But we'll make it happen. - Yeah.
It's fucking moving.
At least it's pretty full. - Yeah.
Can't fucking see with that flamingo here.
Dammit!
Oh, yeah.
Filled. - Yeah.
Stop! - Okay.
I didn't touch the bucket.
There you go!
You have to help me down, Olli.
There you go. - Yeah.
Mission impossible. No, I mean, mission accomplished.
It's damn near full.
Bye!
So stupid!
"It's about intelligence."
It's especially sad when you've seen the facts first.
Abu, was this the task where you should have worn the costume?
Absolutely not. - It got in the way?
Very. - You blame it?
That's why I didn't do well. - Same tactic by everyone.
Just pouring water. - I thought we couldn't leave.
That you had to use what was there. - You're too good at following rules.
Too good at following rules. Anne Marit?
Story of my life.
Anne Marit, did you ever consider changing tactics along the way?
Not at all.
It was high. - Well done, judging by how much water
you poured out of the big bucket and how little you got in the small one.
Almost impressive. It was pretty much empty, the small bucket.
Did you count what was outside?
No. The task was to have water in the buckets.
That was the sad thing.
The task doesn't say anything about the small bucket being full.
There's no point in that in itself. - Most water in the buckets.
Let's see here... I've measured it out.
We can start from the bottom. - Yes.
That's right.
You had 3.8 litres, Anne Marit. 1 point.
Alex, 4 litres.
That was close! - You get 2 points.
Abu, 4.25 litres. So you get 3 times two.
You were wearing the costume. So 6 points.
Snorre... - He gets more points than us.
Snorre, 4 points. 4.7 litres for Snorre.
And Amalie, 8.5 litres. You filled it up.
5 points. Congratulations!
Here are the scores.
I don't want to come across as a snob, Olli,
but I'm very fond of gulls. - You are. I know you are.
That's the only thing you talk about.
You've mentioned hooded gulls, mew gulls, and herring gulls.
Great black-backed gull... - Among other things.
Do you know what they call me in the seagull community?
No. - You don't know?
The gull prince. [presumably a pun]
Really? - Really.
Then I guess we should gull into a task about gulls? [untranslatable pun]
Just play the tape.
What's that now?
Hey.
Sausage with ketchup, bread, mini-Olli.
Measuring thing.
"Make a realistic gull to steal Little Olli's sausage."
"You can't stand any closer than 4 metres to Little Olli"
"when the gull steals the sausage."
"The best gull-like sausage theft wins."
"Bonus points for the most naturalistic gull."
"The sausage must be stolen within 45 minutes."
A gull? - Gull, yeah.
A gull. Okay, okay.
What a task! It's not just about gulls, it's about stealing.
I can't wait.
The sausage will be stolen from Little Olli by a gull.
Contestants can't stand closer to Little Olli than 4 metres.
They'll have to make the gulls. - Good. I'm ready!
Let's start with Snorre. - That's nice.
I just need to think. When I see a gull from below...
Oh...
Pretty happy with this.
Let's go!
Yes!
There.
Sorry, Little Olli.
That wasn't a bad start.
Pretty nice gull. Looked like a gull.
Nice theft. Works with a bow and arrow. Have you ever shot before?
I'm Kløfta's Robin Hood [Norwegian town]. - Are you?
Shall we see the rest of the gang? - Yeah.
Here we go.
It's gull feet.
I see you've Googled gull. - Yes.
It's a classic Oslo gull that steals sausages.
With some white, it'll turn into a gull.
A rooster dressed as a gull.
I'm thinking this is a...
What are they called? Black-backed gulls?
I'll stick it here.
What does the gull say?
It's not bad.
Oh, I'm so pleased.
A colourful gull.
I'll start there. Then I'll release it.
No.
Are you an experienced fisher? - No, Olli. I'm not.
No! Whoa...
That sausage there...
Beep, beep, beep, beep...
That's it.
At least it's nicked the sausage.
Come on!
No.
Maybe he's eating the sausage...
...like this.
Yes!
Come here. How heavy is Little Olli?
You fucking gull.
Out of breath? - Absolutely not.
A very good gull. - Yeah.
Let's take a short break. We'll be right back.
Abu, that looked like Brazilian capoeira with a gull.
It managed to break Olli's neck. - Took everything but the sausage.
Really brutal. - You got the sausage off in the end.
Best theft wins.
Bonus points for most naturalistic gull.
How do you rank this?
I do notice that Anne Marit
is standing on the measuring tool. - Number three? That's where I'm at.
No, no, no. - That's not it.
Less than that.
That'll be disqualification!
Wow.
Oh, dear. - I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you wondering why? - No.
You were way too close.
You can take comfort in the fact that Alex is absolutely last.
It was a nice gull. It had wings.
It wasn't that nice, you see. I don't think so.
It's 2 points for you. - A rooster disguised as a gull.
Yeah. Abu, very chaotic attempt. I'll give you 3 points.
Love 3 points. - Love the three.
Amalie? Nice try, but it's fading against the bow and arrow of Snorre.
You get 5 points here, Snorre. - Yes!
But there's also...
There's a bonus point for most naturalistic gull.
And who gets the point?
There was not a great deal of doubt that. Amalie had the nicest gull.
Which means it's an extra point for Amalie.
Exactly! The scores so far, before we move on.
Amalie on top! Wow! What do you say, Anne Marit? Don't say anything.
Now, everything can turn.
It can only get better. You'll be doing a studio task.
We're at the final task. Balloons and popping are central.
As is an ideal time. Your task is all about balloons.
You each have three balloons,
which must be popped in three different ways.
You want them to pop them all in the ideal time, which is one minute.
You can choose which balloons you want to pop in any way you want.
You just have to deal with the fact that
one balloon must be inflated until it pops.
Another balloon must pop because it's exposed to an external threat.
And one balloon must pop in a unique way. The first one chooses a method.
The next person can't choose the same method.
All the balloons must be inflated and popped in as close to a minute as possible.
The last place starts. Anne Marit. You can pop it however you want.
I'll count down from three, two, one. Go ahead.
Shush. - Shush?
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
What's the plan with that?
It's supposed to inflate until it pops, it looks like.
It popped.
That's it!
Well, that works. - No, wrong way.
You're supposed to inflate it.
Have you ever inflated one of those...
Use the pump if you want. - Use the pump.
Anne Marit, you chose to pop by candle and by biting.
Which one was unique?
It was biting. - Biting, yes.
Then biting is...
Others can use the candle. - Biting is gone, Alex. You're next.
Three, two, one. Action!
You're biting your bottom lip. - Done it before.
There. - There, you know.
It's closest the ideal time.
Oh, no. - How are you, Alex?
Not good. - Wow!
That's it! - Now...
Whoa!
Alex, what was your unique way? - It was a twist.
Is that what you did? - I was going to twist it off.
It was a twist, so it's off limits.
Biting and twisting.
Yes.
Alright. Snorre, it's your turn. You can't bite or twist.
Oh, no...
How are you going to manage?
Okay. Three, two, one. Here you go.
Cosy. - Taking your time.
There you go.
You are inspired by Anne Marit.
You could cheat with the candle, but chose not to use it.
You can't do both at the same time. - No, that's right.
The order doesn't matter. - No.
Oh, my! - You can put the other one away.
He's got a plan, you know. - Yeah, he's got a plan.
He's concentrated. He's got a plan.
No!
Don't...
Please! Please.
Go, go, go!
You don't have to... - I can't! Then I have to...
Like this! Then I just have to, like...
I have to... How am I supposed to open it then?
No!
Yes.
I stopped the time.
You didn't make it, but what was your unique way?
Biting is taken. Twisting is taken.
The demolition of despair.
The older sister of...
That's fine. Okay, Abu.
Then you know what to do. Three, two, one. There you go.
Yes, if you've become wise by injury, I was just saying. Wise by...
Watching Snorre? - Wow.
Whoa!
You're supposed to have that, yeah.
Fuck!
How did you manage to get it on? - This isn't easy.
You should know this.
There you go!
That's it. Oh, man!
That's one.
You don't have to tie it. - Don't worry about it. Got a plan.
You're supposed to tie it. - My finger's too big.
Like this.
Wow! What did you do?
Oh...
So...
Let me guess.
The cigarette was the unique way? - Yes.
Amalie, that leaves you. You can't bite, pop with a cigarette, or tear,
neither regularly, nor in frustration.
I was going to smoke. - Smoke and tear in frustration.
Got it. Ready? - Yes.
Go ahead. - Okay.
I've never had the courage to pop a balloon in my life.
So I'm a bit scared. - Break barriers.
And I have tinnitus.
Oh!
Okay.
Went faster than I thought.
Here we go. - That works.
That's the hardest one. - Oh, my ears are ringing.
Yeah. - It's ringing with joy.
Unique, unique, unique...
It popped right there.
No!
Let's take a look, Atle.
And then we'll tabulate the scores down in the seats.
There's an excited bunch here, Olli. An excited bunch.
We've been through it carefully
to see if there's any air in the balloons when they burst.
Snorre, you are disqualified. You took 1 minute 37 seconds.
But you're disqualified.
Abu. Not disqualified. You took 1 minute 22 seconds.
Second from the bottom.
Amalie. 43 seconds. - Wow!
Alex. 54 seconds.
Anne Marit, you took 1 minute 1 second.
How's that possible?
You get 5 points.
5 points.
Bravo, bravo!
That means Anne Marit gets 5 points in this task.
It's going to be exciting. - Who has won today's show?
It's Amalie who's the winner again! There you go.
Come and collect your prizes, lots of narrow things to take home.
So far this season, the scores are looking like this.
What we've learned today is that it's not how you steal the sausage,
as long as the gull looks good. It's a good lesson to take away.
We'll be back next time. And we'll keep going on the exact same path!
Just even better. See you. - Bye!
