Yeah!
Come on!
"But I but but yeah well it's that one then"
A warm welcome to Kongen Befaler.
Enough light-footed jibber-jabber for today.
This man knows to appreciate an effective start, Olli Wermskog.
Thank you. You're on fire today. Are you excited to get started?
Sure, but taking an earlier night sounds pretty good in my ears.
Speaking of my ears, nose, and neck... a bust in gold of me.
And who is it that could win this golden bust?
Well, it's got to be Henrik Fladseth.
Ina Svenningdal.
Ole Henry Snildalsli.
Pernille Sørensen.
Or Thomas Numme.
Right?
For today's first task, the contestants have brought an item
that the winner of today's show will be taking home.
But above all, there's a bid on my request to bring something
that should be bigger. There's no need to think dirty.
Is that so? - Who would you like to start with?
I want to start with you, Pernille.
You brought something that should be bigger.
I went for a walk in the woods and I brought two ants.
Two ants? - Inside here, I have two ants.
Ants can carry 50 times their weight.
I think it's a shame that such a strong animal isn't bigger.
It could have been a lot more useful.
If you had a 100 kilo ant, a really big ant...
It could replace the horse, lorry, and all the removal companies.
It could have couches on its back and carried them back and forth.
A lot easier to discover if you have them in your house as well.
Because you can hear them when they're coming.
"We've now got ants in the basement" or in the kitchen.
You're only thinking about the positive ripple effects.
You might have had to train them not to build anthills and stuff.
We'd have to learn to trust them. - That too.
I think they're too small.
The answer is delivered, received and approved.
Henrik. What did you bring that should be bigger?
Let's see...
Goes straight to dirty. - "No!"
I was at the Sisters Greni store.
Different from Sisters Grene? - Yeah.
Yeah. - I went and had a little look around.
They have a lot of stuff there.
Found a product, asked a guy who worked there.
He confirmed it's a regular adult product, not a child product.
And it looks like this.
It's a grate. - Grater.
There's never a scenario where you have something so small
that you have to switch to a small grater.
It just becomes more unstable and wiggly.
But if you're gonna have a little clove of garlic?
I mean, you use one of those little...
What do you use? You use a little...
You have the same little holes on the big one.
I have that at home. - Me too.
For Parmesan and stuff. - You can grate Parmesan with that?
Yeah, it's great.
The Parmesan goes like this, and you just grate the tip.
Then it's fussy to have the big one.
It shouldn't have been bigger.
I had a feeling that you there's a hole in your argument now.
I was inclined to agree with you.
You're the judge. Do you feel the need for this?
No. I really don't.
I think the task is accomplished. Ignorant, but accomplished.
They tripped you there. It was the Seven Trippers.
Lovely. Ina.
I brought something that I think should be bigger.
That's very clever. - And I'm very fond of this.
I just don't understand why it's not bigger.
Snack carrots.
You've seen carrots? - I've tried these. Yeah.
And they're good. I just wish I had more of it.
I'd like them bigger. - Bigger.
That'd be great. - I'm...
I'm more confused than I agree. - I can grate them with that!
There you go!
Awesome. - You got it.
And we got it. - That's what saved the carrots.
Alright, accomplished. Thomas.
I brought a note with me that I found at the grocery store.
I'll read. It was on a corkboard.
"Save the ocean. We are four senior citizens committed"
"to removing plastic from the ocean."
"We meet the second Sunday of every month"
"and wonder if anyone has a boat,"
"12 to 14 feet, that we can borrow for these meetings."
"Please contact us if you can supply a boat."
And here, first and foremost...
I think the commitment to cleaning plastic
should be greater than four senior citizens.
I agree.
But then again, they're four senior citizens.
They should have a boat bigger than 12 to 14 feet.
Should all four be there, plus lots of plastic?
They'll probably bring a walker. That's a lot.
It's just a small dinghy. - A teeny tiny dinghy.
Then there are only two strips taken,
so people's commitment should've been greater too.
You're absolutely right. - I think so.
They might as well have met even more often too.
Every second Sunday? They're retired, they have plenty of time.
The note could've been bigger too. - The writing too.
And why don't they say, "If you want to collect garbage, get in touch."
It's just the boat. - They think too little, too.
Are you and Thomas a team? - I thought it was a fun note.
I couldn't agree more.
Ole Henry? - This started at the end of April.
I bought a little seed that I took home and planted in a pot.
And in the pot, a tomato plant grew.
Looked like a bonsai tree. Quite a big plant.
But the tomato that grew on that plant should have been bigger.
Itsy-bitsy!
I agree. - Yeah, it should have been bigger.
Did you harvest it after an hour? - No, today.
Look how perfect it looks. - Very nice!
Do you think if you had left it on a little longer,
it could have grown?
It's ripe. - That's exactly it.
It started out green. - Exactly.
Ripe? - Do you want to taste, Atle?
Sad result. I don't know if I have the heart to taste it.
Can I eat it? Are you sure? It's so pretty.
I can't get my teeth in it.
I can't.
I'll give it another chance. But I'm sure it's damn good.
Oh, delicious. Delicious.
I was supposed to go on... - But I have to say, it's mostly skin.
There was no core. There was no room for the core.
Nothing on the prize table, then. - Not possible now.
Nice box, though. - Beautiful box.
Ready to score? - Yeah. It ended well.
Not necessarily point-wise, Henrik, but you managed to sign up.
Ants? Nice, but it scores you 1 point. I know, it's sad.
I've never dared give you 1 point before because you cry so easily.
That's alright. - I'm welling up myself.
I don't want to distinguish between the carrots and the grater,
so I'll give you the same points. Since you've partnered up.
3 or 2? - That's 3.
I'm really happy. - Me too.
I thought the tomato was absolutely delicious.
It's a 4. And 5 for you, Numme.
That's good.
Did it get stuck?
It got stuck in my teeth.
I'm very fond of tasks involving everyday problems.
But now, I want something different. - A task no-one's ever had before?
That no-one's ever had before. - Let's see.
We have one. - We have?
Look at you. - It's raining. That's what I found.
Woah!
I should really hold on to the balloon.
You got it? - I got it.
"Get this balloon into the black bucket as fast as possible."
"The task is over once the balloon is in the bucket, or if it bursts."
"You must not be on the pool deck"
"when you put the balloon in the bucket."
"First balloon in the bucket wins. Your time starts now!"
There you go. A recipe that cooks itself.
I'm ready to see some lightning fast balloons
in stationary buckets.
Let's start with Thomas, Ole Henry, Henrik, and Pernille.
The black bucket... An ordinary bucket, and it's going in there.
How do I get it in there? I need some weights.
Will this work?
I don't know. - Me neither.
I'll try the simplest first. Get it in...
Yes? - Yes.
Yes. - Are you done?
Must I say that for you to stop the time?
Balloon in the bucket, done.
"When the whole balloon is in the bucket."
I'm crazy, so I'll go with poles. - Okay.
There we go. - Come on, my little bucket man.
I stopped the time. - I need to find some weights.
This will work brilliantly, I think.
Yeah, okay.
That's where I stop the time. - Finicky people on this show.
Time is ticking.
It's not in? Olli!
There.
Thank you very much, Olli.
The plan is to hold the balloon over the bucket with this
and try to pop it with the other pole.
I'm not standing on the deck.
If you weren't going to do both, I screwed up.
Right. Pernille, what happened here?
I think my brain was thinking,
instead of squeezing a balloon into a bucket, I'll pop it and let...
You don't need the air, so I let the balloon skin let itself in.
That was the plan, I think. - Was that a good plan?
I'm still thinking the balloon's in if I've popped the...
The air isn't the balloon, is it?
We'll come back to you. Something several of you seem to be missing,
is that the whole balloon goes in the bucket. Absolutely all of it.
I thought all of mine was in the bucket.
We have one left. Shall we have a look at Ina?
Just so we can get all of you.
"The task is over once the balloon is in the bucket,"
"or if it bursts."
But I but but yeah well it’s that one then.
Yes. That concludes the task.
Bye. - Goodbye.
Very nice.
I have a question for you. Is the task
automatically accomplished if you finish it?
No.
If you drop out of high school by Christmas the first year,
did you graduate?
No. - No.
But I... It short-circuited.
I understand there's some confusion. Shall I read the brief?
"Get this balloon into the black bucket as quickly as possible."
Yes. - Yes.
That's the brief. - But read the whole thing.
"The task is over once the balloon is in the bucket,"
"or if it bursts."
It kind of sounds like it's... - The task is over once it bursts.
But is it accomplished? - Get it in the bucket.
Yes! - The task is to get it in the bucket.
But it's over... - Yes, I've got that figured out.
But it's over once it's popped.
Then we don't have much choice but to make it a disqualification.
Disqualification. Disallowed. Complete failure. Zero points to Ina.
With you, you get Pernille,
who burst it before the whole thing went in.
It wasn't all the way in when it burst. No, it wasn't.
Even if we give it nanoseconds, it still wasn't quite in.
Take a look at Henrik now, if he's enjoying this development.
The times. - Two disqualifications: Ina and Pernille.
Third place is Thomas. 9 minutes and 3 seconds.
Ole Henry, 5 minutes, 2 seconds. Henrik, 3 minutes, 55 seconds.
Here are the scores. Let's see the total today.
Wow! Three people with 8 points. Incredibly close, I have to say.
Pernille, you have a job to do. Sharpen up during the commercials.
It's about time, and that's how it's gonna be.
Yes. Olli, you know what? - No, I very rarely know what.
I really like omelettes. - Regular omelettes?
No, an omelette where nothing is regular.
You're chasing the unique. I see.
Wow!
Some cooking.
"Make this omelette by grating, cutting, cracking, whisking,"
"and frying with unique tools."
"You'll lose a point for each contestant who uses the same tool as you."
Right!
"Also, if you are the only one to parody Hellstrøm" [Eyvind Hellstrøm, Norwegian chef]
"throughout the task, you get 20 bonus points."
Nice one.
"If more than one person impersonates Hellstrøm, they each lose 20 points."
Isn't it fun to gamble a bit?
Imagine if you're the only one.
"The most uniquely cooked omelette wins."
"You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now."
So there are... - A lot of rules. You can summarise.
You'll be making omelettes. Doing it like no-one else.
If you use the same tool as another contestant in the same operation,
you lose points.
If you're the only one impersonating Hellstrøm, you get plus 20 points.
Those points are not for the episode total, but for this task.
Only for the omelette task.
You lose 20 points if anyone else gambles on parodying Hellstrøm.
Shall we just look at the whole lot? - Let's.
So all this can go away then.
Whisk goes away, bowl goes away, frying pan goes away.
It says I'm supposed to put onions in.
This is a sledgehammer.
There you go. - Right? There you go.
Like that. That's gonna be pretty nice.
And the Hellstrøm stuff.
This is where I think Ole Henry hasn't been able to resist.
I've chosen a good old tennis racket to crack the eggs.
Crack the eggs. So you get the shell...
Cracked.
There you go. Lovely.
I'm cracking the eggs with the nose of a porcupine.
There we go. And then it's "Grate the cheese."
Then I'll grate with the porcupine.
That's really finely grated.
Cheese.
I'll grate the cheese with the sausage clip.
That's unique. That's got to be unique.
Do all the cheese.
Look at this. God, that's good. Quite a bit of cheese as well.
My plan is to use this badminton ball, shuttlecock,
as a whisk.
That makes fluffy eggs!
Now I'm happy. Gosh, this is fun.
Then I'll use this glass.
There. - I whisk with the boy...
With the girl on her way to school.
Here we go.
This won't do.
This isn't how I intended it to go.
Should I use the frying pan, or should I...
I'll fry it on that. That's gonna make a delicious omelette.
We're gonna go with that.
I'll fry it in a waffle iron. I'm...
...51- no, 58 percent sure that's unique.
Okay. That's gonna be a delicious omelette.
Oh my god, it'll be good.
It smells good already.
Little bit of cheese.
Now, I'm just gonna spread this out onto the tray.
And then I'm gonna sweep it off, just to kind of...
Shit, it's burnt.
This is actually one of the best omelettes I've ever made.
Then I'll move on to another restaurant and continue there.
Yes. Thomas, I don't think I've ever seen you this happy before.
I was so happy when it worked.
You thought something, then you did it, and then it worked.
It's not often that happens. - A whole new experience.
Kind of sad that we had to wait until show six, but there it was.
Sense of accomplishment! - That cheese grater was top notch.
It worked better than you'd think.
A little leafy, but good.
Ole Henry, you gambled on a Hellstrøm parody. That was bold.
It could lose you points, and it was absolutely horrific.
Oh, yeah.
Lucky for you, it doesn't say how good you have to be.
Lucky for you, we knew it was Hellstrøm you were going to do.
As the only one, you get 20 points.
Woah!
Very good.
We've got some points, haven't we? - We do.
The only two who chose the same tool were Henrik and Thomas with the waffle iron.
So you're in joint fourth place. 2 points.
Ina and Pernille both get 4 points.
Then it's first place, Ole Henry. - Yes!
Right.
How good would you say the contestants are at reading the brief?
They're very good.
How good would you say they are at understanding the brief?
I'd say they're pretty crap.
Okay.
Anything ball-related, I find amusing.
"Get these balls into the freezer in the garden in the shortest time."
"Make as many trips as you want, but each time you must take at least twice as many balls"
"as you did on your previous trip."
"If you drop a ball on the ground, your time is doubled and reset."
Doubled and reset? - Yes.
Doubled and reset at the same time. What does that mean?
Is it zero, or twice as much as last time?
It's quite black-and-white. - Is it? Is it really?
What a gift of a task!
It's about getting all the balls to the freezer the fastest.
They must bring at least twice as many balls as on their last trip.
But what happens if they lose a ball along the way?
Then I'll double and reset the time.
Clear as a bell!
Now, I can't wait to see them tackle this gift.
Yes, then I'm afraid we'll only be seeing Henrik.
"If you drop a ball on the ground, your time is doubled and reset."
Just drop a ball every now and then. Or drop it right before, and then...
You've taken 3.5 minutes. - But I'll reset that.
We'll start with two, and then we'll do the rest.
Then I'll drop the last ball.
Isn't that the solution?
Now, it's been 14 minutes and 10 seconds.
And then...
I don't know.
What do you think, Henrik? - I still don't get it.
Is this brilliant or is this shit? - I think it's brilliant.
Is it brilliant? - It is
brilliant!
It is. - Yes!
It's masterfully solved.
You realised that we sometimes reward sloppiness too. A little sloppiness.
Questions, Ina? - Yes.
You took two balls first, and then you went and got the rest.
Is that twice as many? - "Or more."
At least twice as many? - No!
Yes.
But have a little look at Henrik, if he's happy with...
Oh, yeah.
Not sure. Let's see how you did, Thomas. Let's look at the rest.
Three, six, twelve...
And 30. That's 30 balls.
If I do three trips. Four, eight... That's 12.
I need three.
It's boiling now.
Two, three. Now I need to bring six balls.
I feel like there's maths involved.
Who are you talking to? - Myself.
Or you, if you want to listen.
Now I have to bring 12, because I brought six. No.
No, no. - It has to be exactly twice as many?
"At least." Shit, I'm all over the place.
Then I need 10 balls first, and then 20.
Is there anything here I can put 10 balls in?
I can't think of anything else to use a teddy bear this big for.
It already has balls in it. Now it can have many.
Humour? - I shouldn't have.
Can I get all of them? - I don't know.
Some here...
Come on, Daddy Bear. Sorry.
In.
Woah.
Oh, sh...
I just doubled and reset the time. - What?
I doubled and reset the time. The ball hit the ground.
This is what I choose not to deal with, because I don't get it.
Do I have to bring them back?
I can't bring 24 balls down at once!
Fuck! Okay...
Now I've brought back two balls. Can I bring four now?
You can try.
Are you starting your trip? - Yes.
I haven't started.
Right.
Then the time is doubled and reset.
Happy? - Yes.
Had to double and reset a few times. - Resetting is good.
What's zero doubled then? - Two.
I give up. Will you blow that whistle of yours?
That's a nice whistle.
Get this in there, and I'll read the letter.
Doubling something that's zero... That's what confuses me.
It's zero and it's double. - Yeah.
"If you drop a ball on the ground, the time is doubled and reset."
The more you drop, the shorter the time.
Yes.
We're gonna have a commercial break, but we'll be back in a jiffy.
How do you feel about checking the rules after the task over?
How clever was that?
I felt like it was kind of like, they're just doing it to confuse.
Like Trump did with the tariffs. "Plus four, minus four."
I felt like it was like,
plus a lot, minus a lot. So I choose not to deal with that.
Ina, when you started bringing back balls...
I felt like you were thinking about the fox, the chicken,
and a sack of oats going to a deserted island. You were there.
You just got too excited. - I still don't get it.
I get it. I was so thrilled with the teddy bear solution.
It's such a shame that it didn't pay off.
That was really good. - Although I didn't solve the task.
We'll have some times.
I'm sure you're just as anxious to see if you'll make it through.
Do we have time? What's time? - Who am I?
Try to make sense of it. - I doubled and reset them all.
And here are the times. - Now you say, "Yes. I see."
Ina, you didn't finish. So that's zero points.
Pernille: 3 minutes 22 seconds. - Yes.
Are you happy? - Very happy.
Thomas: 1 minute 29 seconds.
That short? - Yes. Everyone is still confused.
Ole Henry: 1 minute 7 seconds. - No! That's good.
But not as good as under 1 second, which Henrik got.
5 points.
Well done. - Shall we see the scores?
And let's see the total scores before we go to the final task.
What's the total? Woah, Snildalsli at the top here.
Henrik in second. The girls are suddenly at the bottom.
Very erratic episode.
It now smells like a studio task, literally.
You know where you're going. Get up there.
A warm welcome to the cheese party. That's right.
You each have 20 slices of bread and some cheese spread.
You will be serving Atle slices of bread with cheese spread.
Are you ready for that? - Yeah.
Whoever serves the fewest slices in a round is out,
unless an odd number of contestants are wearing chef's hats.
If an odd number of contestants are wearing chef's hats,
the one who has served the most is eliminated.
Alright. Are you ready? - Yes.
The hat needs to be put on at the start of the round, if you want to wear it.
It might be a good idea to duck.
You won't know what the others have chosen. Round one begins now!
I'll wear a chef's hat then. - Great. Then I'll do it too.
Me too. - Me too. Looks really nice.
What are you doing, Henrik? - I'm making seven slices.
Right. Cool.
Okay. Do you like thin or thick layers of cheese, Atle?
I'm not really fond of that cheese. - That's good.
And you have to serve it on the plate, of course.
Yes.
When the cloche is put on, you indicate that you're done.
Yes. - Seven.
Yeah.
Looks like we're there. - Then, everyone's...
Henrik, you can start presenting.
No chef's hat on you.
I've made three slices of bread with cheese spread.
Noted. - Ina.
Hello. - Also no chef's hat.
No chef's hat, and four slices with cheese spread.
Four slices. So far, Henrik, you're in trouble.
Shall we see Ole Henry?
Hello! - Woah.
Chef's hat. The tables have turned. How many have you got?
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Yes. Right now, you're on the edge of elimination.
Pernille. - Yes.
We're back. How many have you got?
I've got four slices of bread. - Yes, Henrik. Let's see.
Thomas.
Yes! - You're safe for now.
You're in trouble, Ole Henry. How many slices?
I figured Ole Henry would get up, but not Pernille.
So I've only done three. - That's good.
That's good, is it?
Ole Henry. Unfortunately. You need to go and sit down.
Yeah.
Ole Henry's out. Four more to go. Round two begins now.
Yeah.
It's lovely to be wearing a chef's hat again.
Agreed.
- Agreed.
It's a little itchy.
Yeah.
What information does it give you if the others say they're wearing hats?
It's mind games in one way or another. I don't know how.
If two people have the same number, they're both gone.
Right.
Here we go. - Everyone's got their cloche on?
Yes. - Go ahead, Henrik.
You're wearing a hat. - Yes.
I've made four slices of bread.
Right. So far, you're smack in the middle.
Okay. Ina.
Bing! - Woah.
We're back. - Yes.
I've made three slices of bread.
Three slices. Okay.
Ole Henry, there you are. Let's go to you, Pernille.
You're in trouble, Henrik.
Let's see, high, low... I've chosen three slices of bread.
You're still in trouble, Henrik, unless Thomas is wearing a hat.
Oh. It'll be interesting to see.
How many have you got? - I've got... two slices.
Two slices? Henrik, then you're out.
That's fine. - Still a bit unsure.
So, Ole Henry and Henrik are out. Round three begins now.
This cheese spread is so good.
I thought I'd give Atle a couple.
A couple? - Quite a lot.
You mean two? - Yeah, maybe.
You can add numbers and equations around Thomas' head.
You're gonna be a lightbulb with no light in it.
How's it going, Thomas? - It takes a while to make slices.
Everybody ready? - I'm done.
Ina. No chef's hat, great. Then the least amount is eliminated.
How many have you got? - Two, four, six, seven.
Seven. Pernille.
No chef's hat. So still the least.
I have two. - Then you're in trouble.
I know. - But, Thomas...
No chef's hat. - How many do you have?
I have...
Four. Five? Four. - Pernille, you're out.
Damn it. - Get ready for the final round.
It's the final round. There's two left, Ina and Thomas.
You can start the round now.
It'll be interesting to see if you put on a chef's hat or not.
There you go. You're making more sense now, Ina.
Thomas is looking at us for help. - I can't see anything.
That's not allowed. - He's not getting any help.
Are you just thinking, Thomas? I can't see you.
I'm spreading.
I'm done. - Both done. Ina, stand up.
Chef's hat. - Chef's hat.
Alright. How many?
Five slices. - Five slices.
Right now, the one with the most is out.
Thomas. - Yeah.
Chef's hat. - Chef's hat.
So it's back to whoever's got the least.
That's what it was, right. - That's out.
How many have you got, Thomas? - One.
Which means we've got a winner in this task.
We'll do the scores in our seats.
We're aware of who won, but you can recap.
You did well. Though it was hard, you persevered.
Ole Henry, 1 point. Followed by Henrik, 2 points.
Pernille 3, Thomas 4, and Ina 5 points.
Let's see. - Those are the scores.
But most importantly, who will win the show overall today?
It's interesting to see. It is Ole Henry Snildalsli!
Congratulations. You get to take home five things that should be bigger.
Today, we've seen that sloppiness can pay off.
We'll be back next time.
If you enjoyed this show, you're going to love the next one.
See you. Bye.
