No hands!
It holds!
This is gonna be delicious!
Holy shit.
Welcome to Stormester's midway party.
My name is Lasse Rimmer, and we are halfway —
— to being able to name the sixth winner of "Tour de how do they come up with that?"
Who darts away from the peloton? Who flirts dangerously with the broom wagon?
We'll get a little closer to the answer tonight. Your riders are:
Martin Johannes Larsen.
Eva Jin.
Sebastian Klein.
Julie Rudbaek.
And Simon Jul.
And here sits the master of assistance, Mark Le Fêvre.
Le Fêvre is French and originally means scrub pisser.
Mark, anything new in your world?
Yes, I'm always trying to expand the Stormester brand.
So I made Stormester cards.
The deck seems a bit thin?
I'm sorry about that. There are two cards.
First you pick a category.
I could pick charisma. I have two there.
In charisma I got 823.
– So I beat you? – That means you beat...
– So I get your card. – The game is not quite finished, but..
Thanks for playing. It was quickly over.
Every week we play for a prize that one of the participants puts up for grabs.
That's absolutely correct.
– Eva Jin, what's going on? – It's little Hanne.
– Little Hanne? – A golden hamster in the spring of its life.
A hamster that I'm currently looking after for a friend.
That's funny, it just so happens that I'm looking after a boa constrictor at the moment.
And so winning Hanne could be a good idea.
Something is at stake for Eva, but even more so for Hanne.
Yes, apparently.
– How old is she? – She just turned two.
– How long do they live? – Two years.
We're clearly heading into a dramatic episode of Stormester.
Let's try to turn our attention towards slightly lighter subjects.
What are they being subjected to first?
In the past few years, people have been using things Zoom, Teams and Skype.
– And we thought ... – Oh no, no.
– Why in this episode? – We have to do it.
– We're on TV, Mark. – Oh no.
– I like looking at myself. – We look good on film!
Am I gonna skype with someone?
– Mark, do I open it? – Yeah, you can.
"Find out who the person in the video call is."
– It's me, Mark. – We're not connected yet.
"Without the person finding out who you are."
Is it someone I know? Or should I just guess it's Erling from...
Erling the .. mechanic?
"You cannot alter the screen or camera."
"The call begins in ten minutes and lasts ten minutes."
"Fastest to guess the identity of the person in the video call wins."
"If the person guesses who you are, you're disqualified."
Huh.
– "Time ..." – "... starts now."
I think I'll have to wear a mask.
There's enough here for many years!
I'll have to change my voice as well.
"Who is it? Tell me a little about yourself." That might help.
Who is the mysterious stranger in the video call?
The task must be solved as quickly as possible, without being recognised.
The person peering out at the screen —
— has been given pictures and names of all of you.
And it is therefore extremely important —
— not to reveal your identity.
It would be completely hopeless to say your name out loud.
Yes, that would be stupid.
It would be silly to say that your name is Eva, for example.
Haha, yeah.
They need to be unable to guess my identity.
Now you can't guess it's me. This could be anybody.
– Do you understand the task? – I hope so.
Look here.
– Hi. – [Swedish] Hey there.
What is your job?
My job is to entertain people.
I don't understand that, Mark.
– Do you speak Danish? – No, sorry.
– Why am I using Google Translate? – No idea.
– Who are you? What's your name? – David. What's your name?
My name is Eva.
No!
No...! What a bad time to be polite.
In Eva's defense: He sets a despicable trap.
We know so far that the stranger's name is David —
— and that David has just spoken to someone called Eva.
Unfortunately, we were unable to identify the person.
Other contestants may come a little closer to a satisfactory answer.
David also talked to the detective Martin.
I need to find a mask.
– How hot is it in there? – It's pretty warm.
Where are you from? No one can guess that, can they?
Hello? Can you hear me?
– Yes, I hear you. – Are you from Stockholm?
I am from Stockholm.
– Is your name Håkon? – Unfortunately, my name is not Håkon.
– What's your name then? – My name is David.
David from Stockholm? In your everyday life, you work as...?
I entertain and make people "skratta". ["laugh" in Swedish]
– Can you explain "skratta"? – It's when you "Ha, ha!"
And you have a wonderful wife, called Lisbeth?
No.
– And your children? – All is well with them.
– You play golf. – I don't play golf.
– You love tennis. – No.
Swimming is just you.
– Many thanks, David from Stockholm. – Time's up.
– That went damn well. – Who was he?
David from Stockholm. Nice wife. Three children.
– "Jättebra" – "Allihop"
I end up learning too much about him.
David from Stockholm is married, not to Lisbeth, and he has three children.
You also learn that he's a former badminton player and doesn't work at a casino.
The more we know. The children struggle a bit with maths at school.
And he can swim a fast 100-meter.
All information that is ... completely useless.
You know how sometimes your little, stupid brain just shuts down.
That's kind of what happened there.
Martin, we still haven't found out David's identity.
You didn't succeed within the time limit.
– But I was close..? – I think the net can be tightened a bit further.
– Let's jump to Simon Jul. – No no ...
I was going to praise you and say that you were a chameleon of voices.
But let's see how it goes.
Those slanty fucking eyes.
– They're revealing? – Yes, cause it's not Eva Jin is it?
She has enchanting little Mulan eyes. But I do like the hat.
Sorry, Lasse.
"I have killed nine people." That doesn't sound like me.
– How ready do you feel? – Do you want to hear a TV answer?
You know what, Mark? In Stormester you never feel safe.
That's what makes it so exciting.
[Swedish] Hello?
– Hi. – Hi there.
– You have nice hair. – Sorry?
– [Swedish] You have nice hair. – Thank you.
– Do you make music? – No.
– Do you have a prize? – I have won prizes, yes.
For what?
For best entertainment program.
What kind of entertainment program?
It's an entertainment program. A competition program.
– Is there a Danish version of the show? – That's right, yes.
Are you Mads Steffensen? [Host of Danish version of "1 mot Sverige"]
No.
– Wow. – It wasn't Mads Steffensen.
A Swedish TV program which is also in Denmark —
— which is about competitions. He must be Lasse Rimmer.
He's the taskmaster. The Swedish taskmaster.
Yes, noted.
Your line of questioning really pays off.
David works in entertainment and has won awards for a show —
— of which there is a Danish version.
You end up with: He is taskmaster in the Swedish version of Stormester.
Because of "tävlingar", meaning competition. Then I thought...
He expressed some kind of ...
... smug vigilance about his own intelligence.
As you can...
Which is super captivating in true friends.
Let's keep that description in mind.
There is indeed a Swedish version of Stormester called Bäst i test.
The Swedes are very progressive, so the taskmaster in Bäst i test is a woman, Babben Larsson.
So you're sadly not right. David is not the Swedish Lasse Rimmer.
But let's remember that self-indulgent arrogance.
– We still don't know who it is. – We do.
– Me and Sebastian know it. – And Mark knows who's next.
[Swedish] Sure. We put our best detectives on the case:
– Julie and Sebastian. – Thanks so much.
If you sit in the chair, I can sit down here and poke you.
Okay, I'm sitting here.
We're connected.
Hello? What's your name?
– My name is David. – Hey David.
– Ask: What do you do? – What's your job?
I work to make people happy.
– Do you work with television? – Occasionally.
– Ask if he's a comedian. – Are you a comedian?
– Yes, I like to think so. – What was he recently involved in?
The TV show is called Bäst i test.
– Is the same show on Danish television? – Yes.
Ask if he has any ties to this show.
Do you have some kind of relation to Stormester?
– Yes. – He does.
– Describe the relation. – Can you describe the relation?
Bäst i test is very similar to Stormester.
Are you the Swedish Lasse Rimmer?
– No. – Damn, that was a great guess.
Is he the one in charge? Or the slave, like you?
– Or what? – If he's a slave like you.
Are you in charge, you are you some kind of slave like me?
Unfortunately, I don't get to decide. I'm a little more like you.
He's more like me.
Are you the Danish counterpart to Mark Le Fêvre? [He means "Swedish"]
– Yes. – Very good, David. Thanks a lot.
Tell him we could use a new assistant here in Denmark.
That's not a question.
No but we found his identity so you can make small talk.
– That's a terrible way to make small talk. – Say it Mark! Say it!
Would you be interested in participating in the Danish edition —
— if there should be a vacancy?
– Yes ... – No, David! No.
– No, I'm not interested. – He doesn't wanna do that.
– It's you, Mark. – Yes, only in Swedish.
– Did you find out who it was? – Yes. It's you in Sweden.
Julie, earlier in the season you cast Mark —
— for a role in a film.
You also placed him in my chair and my job.
And now you want to give Mark's job to David.
Why are you obsessed with moving people in and out…
I prefer things to have a bit of flow. Shake it up.
You get tired of looking at the same person in the same spot.
You're the job center from hell. The headhunter no one wants to meet.
It was just because we were doing TV because I love Mark.
I want to say that out loud.
One of the rules in the task was —
— to guess the stranger's identity without your own identity being guessed.
Before we dole out the points, let's see if anyone is disqualified —
— because they showed their hand and revealed their identity.
– Oh no. – What a thrill.
David, which contestant do you think it was?
I think it was ... Sebastian.
I thought that when his little sausage fingers—
— held up the little hole, I could see his glasses.
– You could see glasses? – Spectacles.
Noted.
It's impossible to understand what this Gösta is saying.
Haha, "what this Gösta is saying"!
He both reveals and insults you at once.
It's not right at all. I was so well hidden.
Those damn, revealing, muscular fingers.
You exposed David's identity, but unfortunately David also exposed yours.
You get just as many points as the woman who said her own name.
That's actually incredible.
Only one contestant has a chance to reap any points, and that's Julie.
– Did David reveal her identity? – What do you think?
I was talking like this under the table, so maybe he thought it was Simon.
– I don't know. – We'll see.
David, who do you think the contestant was?
I think it was Simon.
Simon? Noted.
– Perfect. – Only you met the criteria.
Five points for you, zero points for everyone else.
Sebastian wants to put this complicated task behind him.
There were several fences to trip you up.
– Can we see a simpler task, Mark? – Yes, let's roll.
Well, well, well.
– Hi. – Hi there.
Is it a...?
– Nice to be here. – There's a crystal ball here.
Am I supposed to divine the contents of the task?
"Teach Mark how to waltz —
— in 13 days."
"Make the glass ball roll for the longest time."
– "You cannot affect the glass ball..." – "After you have initiated the roll."
So just let it go, no touching.
"You have 30 minutes to prepare and one attempt."
"Before you initiate the roll, you must say ..."
"We're rolling."
"Longest lasting roll wins."
"Time starts now."
It's good old fashioned ball rolling.
Damn, let's roll Mark!
That's right, we're rolling.
And we're measuring time, not distance.
The participant whose ball rolls the longest time wins.
– What else is there to keep in mind? – It's a pretty simple task.
One attempt and you cannot affect the roll after it has been started.
We start with Eva and Sebastian, who have somewhat the same plan:
Throw the ball on a track hope it rolls for a long time.
So we're going to see a bowling lane showdown?
Yes. Now I did say that they go about the task similarly. There is a slight difference.
The track chosen by Sebastian is built by skilled architects —
— who spent over six years and four billion kroner on the construction.
The second track is built by Eva Jin ...
... out of milk cartons in just under 30 minutes.
I guess I'll have to make some kind of ramp.
I need it to roll down something.
All I can think of is milk cartons.
– There is the ski hill on Amager. – This is my plan.
Inspired by water slides.
Let's go to the ski slope.
We're rolling!
– Looks good! – Mark, do you have any milk?
It keeps going.
We need ...
We need to cut the milk in half.
Me?
There it is again.
It's turning.
All the way down to that corner.
I don't see it. Now watch out, it's slippery.
– Hold on to me Sebastian. I have to be able to see it. – I'm slipping too.
Oh no!
Huh. On with the yes-hat! [Idiom for thinking positively]
There.
– These shoes aren't slip-resistant. – Come. Up again.
Here you go.
Oh, Sebastian. It was great getting to know you.
– Go big or go home. – Exactly.
– That was really far. Are you okay? – Yeah.
Ta-dah!
Okay. We're rolling!
No!
– Why all that water? – I didn't understand the plan.
What was it supposed to ...?
– Was that a water slide? – Yes.
Now you understand ... Don't you know those fun water slides —
— with a huge tub of water, and then you fly away.
And you fire off into the water slide.
Suddenly water's coming from here.
And a leaf blower to finish it all off.
But what does that have to do with the ball?
It has to roll.
I get it 100%. Insane. It's so crazy.
It's great to hear the plan. Because what happened was that you shouted: "Go big or go home!"
Then poured 30 liters of milk on my terrace, and the ball fell onto the top step and stayed there.
Yes!
Mark, what times are the two contestants noted for?
Eva, you got a roll of two seconds.
That's impressively short.
Sebastian, on the other hand ... 58 seconds.
Okay.
So who's the next rolling participant?
Martin with his nice, new glasses. And Simon.
Mark, I'm asking you: Would you like to —
— keep pushing the ball on and on and on?
No thanks.
– What did you say? – No thank you.
What if I said "Beef Stroganoff"?
I can't affect it. Can I go to the shed?
When you put things in water, something happens with displaced mass and gravity.
If there is movement in the mass around the object which displaces the mass —
— then that will have to circulate. That is, the ball rolls.
I'll put it here.
Now you have to keep in mind the beef stroganoff.
– I love you. – I love you too.
We're rolling.
Fantastic. Wonderful.
We're rolling.
No...! Phew, that was close.
No..! Okay.
– Are you okay? – I feel great.
It's great to see you running a little.
– You have a good run. – Look at this. Whoa, what's he doing?
– Mark, can you help? – What do you want help with?
Nothing, I was just asking.
Oh, now it's going fast!
Class!
– How much time do we have now? – A little more than three minutes.
Thats it. Let's give the others a chance.
And stop.
Goddamn. I got it really hot too.
Let's look at your plans, because you have a common denominator.
You both use principles that date back to before the birth of Christ.
Archimedes' law and bribery respectively.
Good old beef stroganoff. You love that, Mark.
How will you argue that you don't affect the roll of the ball?
I only affect the water.
It's the water that affects the ball.
Martin, you don't affect the roll?
Not in the slightest, Lasse.
I'm glad you ask because I only affect Mark.
You affect Mark who affects the roll.
When Mark says no, you say, "How about beef stroganoff ad libertum?"
Who can say no to that?
If we take it to the third degree —
— then I only affect the drill —
— which holds the spoon, which moves around in the water. And the water...
Indeed it's the different water molecules affecting each other.
Thanks.
"I affect the spoon that affects the water that affects the ball."
If no one affects the drill, the water doesn't affect the ball.
The roll of the ball is affected in both situations, but what also happens —
— is that before you start to affect the ball, it rolls a little bit.
If we have to go into the details —
— and I'm afraid we must, then I need to know, Mark:
How long does the ball roll before Simon and Martin start to affect it?
If we begin with the beef stroganoff liar.
— then you do a roll yourself that lasts 1.20 seconds.
– That's really good. – Yeah that's pretty good.
Simon's ball is already rolling when he says, "We're rolling."
2.40 seconds pass before he begins to affect the water.
That's eight hundredths of a second longer than you, Eva.
The smallest margin we've ever had.
I'm so glad we have such a sharp taskmaster.
I think we need to move on. We're missing one!
We already know that Julie's gonna win it. On to the next task!
I feel like I'm getting a new pet today.
I'm exciting to see Julie's attempt.
You can secure second place with a roll of three seconds.
Mark, can you reveal Julie's plan?
It's actually a brilliant idea.
– Play! – Yes ma'am.
These are obvious ball track materials.
Maybe we can find something that will make it run for a longer time.
What's in here?
That goes around, Mark. Can you handle it?
Appliances, Mark. I think that'll do it.
I'm putting it in. The longest program.
Mark, Lasse ... We're rolling.
Take cover!
I was very clear in my wording.
You have to say: "We're rolling."
After that, you cannot influence the roll of the ball. You need to make it roll for as long as possible.
– And you comply with all the rules. – Nice. Then we agree.
Everyone is noted for a time, so they all receive points.
There is one point for Martin. Two points for you, Eva.
There are three points for Simon, four for you, Sebastian —
— and five points go to Julie, who now leads supremely.
You're running away!
– Mark, what do we do now? – On to the next task.
Oh, it's hot in here.
Hi, Mark.
– "Krøjf". – Krøjf??
– Danish dictionary with CD-ROM. – Is there a CD-ROM in it? Okay.
– Can I hear it before we start? – Hello.
– "Mølfi". – "Kaskul".
– "Invent a new word." – "Invent a new word."
"Invent ten new words." Okay.
– "Most useful new word wins. You have ..." – "... 20 minutes. Time starts now."
A new word...
A Danish word that is missing that we really need.
We have a lot of words by now!
– "Time starts now." – Just ten words.
What do we need a good Danish word for?
That's a fair question. Another is:
Why does Martin have to invent ten new words?
– Well I'm not the one who wrote that. – That's right, I wrote the task.
And you're known for inventing new concepts and words.
Asking you to invent one new word —
— is a bit like asking four joggers to beat Usain Bolt.
So we tied your laces and said: Ten words for Martin, one for each of you.
Yes, that's totally fair.
Let's set Martin's solution aside. Where do we start instead?
Let's skip to a world premiere of the words "mev", "tukt" and "sosfis".
– SOSfis. [Sounds like "SOS pussy"]
What do we need a word for?
A word for...
We need a word for full, but when you have quenched your thirst.
Mevs.
Let's mevs. It should be without the "s" so people with a lisp can say it.
Have you ever been abused in the street, and you didn't react before the person was already gone?
I should've said it in the situation-moment.
Now I am ...
But that's a difficult word.
What words are disgusting?
"I need to go make sausages" could be: "I need to go mev."
[Yes, that really is a Danish figure of speech]
It could be a word like yolo.
You only live once. Supercool.
Tukt. I am tukt.
There is no such thing as tukt.
"Stop and react in the situation —
— instead of waiting until later."
– You don't really say "make sausages", do you? – Yes, you don't?
Do you call it that?
Soresifa ...
That's not very good. We need to make it shorter.
Mark? I'm thirsty.
When you're in a social context...
"I'm going to the bathroom." "I'm throwing a mev."
– SOSfis. – That's your word?
By the way. The next time we do a task —
— I don't want to see you participate this little.
– Cheers. – My mouth is dry.
Are you tukt? I'm also pretty tukt.
You start out with: In which situation are we missing a word?
That leads Sebastian to tukt, which describes…?
That you've quenched your thirst. We don't have a word for that.
Yes, you say so.
I recall learning that the equivalent of being full is "sæt". [Little-used old-fashioned word]
When you have quenched your thirst, you are "sæt".
You might feel like this word is missing, but it already exists.
And there's so little interest in using it that no one knows about it.
Yes, "sæt". No one would use the word "sæt" —
— but if you used the word "tukt". It's a much cooler word.
You say that nobody uses the word, but you had to make the most useful word.
Yes, so I make a more useful word ...
I see what you mean.
Eva, before we look at the word you come up with —
—you use a sentence where you only use words that we all know.
But that we don't like hearing from an adult.
"I need to make sausages."
I ask in unison with Mark: Is that something you say?
Yes, that's a common term for having to ... make sausages.
Is it better to say: "I have to take a shit"?
Yes!
I get in trouble for a word —
— which already exists, which no one uses!
And here we have a word for which there are already insanely many terms.
Yes, but no "we're eating" term, right?
– That's missing. – You could just use more words.
– Like "Would you excuse me?" – You asked for one word!
You don't have to describe what you're going to do out there!
You don't have to talk about sausages or pooping. Just say, "I'll be back in a bit."
"Throwing a mev" is a bit more adventurous.
We're missing the third word.
SOSfis is an acronym, an abbreviation...
It's short for a situation —
— where I have many times been at a loss for words.
We all know this.
Someone shouts abuse at you, you experience something unfair in public.
Someone comes up to you and says some crap or scares you —
— and you don't get to say what you want.
When you get home, you say: "I should have said that."
– I should have said ... – "Stop and speak up in the situation."
When you get overwhelmed and people are being plain mean.
Then you say: "I should have SOSfised him."
No, when I get home, I say ...
Then I can explain: "It was a huge SOSfis situation."
So if there were more of these situations, you'd have several SOSfisses? ["SOS pussies"]
Yes exactly. I've experienced so many SOSfisses.
I've been offered three new words.
Later we'll rank them in terms of usefulness.
We still need 11 new words from two participants.
– Who's next up? – Simon Jul. We're in the technical department.
I love everything about it. Not only because I experienced having hair.
G-spot and Gladsaxe. [Copenhagen suburb]
– Gladsaxe G-spot ... Do you know what that is? – I've spent many years looking for it.
It's the stud in the ignition cap of a moped.
I'll take Grenå G-spot, that's where I belong. [Simon's home town in Jutland]
Grenå G-spot.
– Hey, what's up Vibeke! – Hey Sune, this old lady won't start! [Strong Copenhagen accents]
– Did you check the Grenå G-spot? – The what?
This. You need to blow on it, all the way in. Like the ladies.
Blow. Try one more time.
– You're diddly-doodly good. – Go into town and meet some ladies.
And grab a pint and a spliff.
– I can always count on you, Sune. – You sure can, my friend!
Watch out for the convertible!
Vibeke and Sune. That was so horn.... it was great. We had such a nice day.
I don't know much about mopeds. But I believe —
— that the small spigot by the ignition cap on a moped must be kept clean.
You'll need a name for that when visiting the workshop —
— and Grenå G-spot sits well on the tongue.
Thank you, Lasse.
So far we have four words from four contestants.
– And now a whole avalanche of words is ready. – We're going to Martin.
As Vibeke would've said: "Goddamn, this is getting speedy!"
"Shut up." [Still strong Copenhagen accent]
I can start out with "steift". [Pseudo-German for tack/pin, slang for beer]
No.
It means ...
"Saftensmad". Which is also ... [Contraction of "juice" + "dinner"]
You could could go on a "hamringstogt". [Hammering spree]
Go to that bar, that bar, that bar... Hammering spree.
Instead of saying hey, you say "ey". "Ey!"
We could also do "steiftensmad".
What's the difference between that and "saftensmad"?
I think "saftensmad" involves a bit more. "Steiftensmad" could well be just one.
"Clickmixerpult". [Click Mix (candy) + mixing desk]
"Restaurangutang".
"Rottepind" [Rat twig/joint]
"Røgkæp" [Smoke stick]
Ten new ones.
Yes, Martin!
You set out with steift, saftensmad, hamringstogt, steiftensmad ...
Isn't that mainly slang for alcoholics?
It is ...
Some steifts to be hammered down.
"Hamringstogt" is brilliant. We're going on a hammering spree, Martin.
Your ten words are not in the dictionary. I accept all ten words for my verdict.
But first it would be nice to see the clickmixing desk —
— restaurangutang and rat twig ...
... used in a context. Can we do something about that?
We have a clip where we hear all the beautiful words.
So let the hammering spree begin.
– Hey, Keneth. – Hey, Niels-Jan.
- Are you ready for some saftensmad? - Do you mean steift?
Yeah yeah, steiftensmad!
Shut it, but damn if we aren't gonna be hitting up a restaurangutang first.
Shut it man, come here ... Wait a minute, do you have a rat twig?
No way! No, but you can have a smoke stick.
– Come. – Okay I'm coming.
– Hello, Mr. Waiter. – Ey, shut it. Are you comfortable?
– Today's special is bolognese. – Go away.
That's the perfect foundation for a hammering spree. Can we have two?
No. Yes. Relax. Okay.
It's fucking cozy in here.
Good to see the DJ firing it up at the clickmixer desk.
Yes, he's terrible.
Two friends going on a hammering spree ...
Keneth and Niels-Jan?
– What are they called again? – Keneth and Niels-Jan.
– Helen and Niels-Jannick? – Keneth and Niels-Jan.
– Ah, Keleth and Niels-Jan? – No, Keneth.
– Not Kenneth, but Keneth. – Yes, Keleth?
– No, Keneth. – Keleth?
– Keneth! With an "n" like Niels. – Oh, Keneth?
– Keneth! – And Niels-Jan.
Keneth and Niels-Jan go on a hammering spree ...
Hammering spree. That's good.
This is difficult for me.
I'll take all ten of your words as one linguistic bouquet.
I'll be merciless. Eva, I can explain well —
— why I leave the dinner table without saying "mev".
But there are some of us who can't.
Sebastian gets two points for a new interpretation of a word —
— that has already not found widespread use.
It's close between Simon and Julie. I like Grenå G-spot but I don't ride a lot of mopeds.
However I've often been in situations where I should've said something.
Afterwards I think: I should have said that straight up.
I'm aware that half of the ten words are primarily of use to addicts —
— but it's five points for Martin.
Mark, before the final task we have time for a quicky at my place.
I have a quick one which underlines the importance of reading the task —
— before you start tinkering and end up making a bit of a "mev" of it.
– Good day, Mr. Le Fêvre. – Good day, Mr. Klein.
You have a little podium.
String.
– What do you think you'll have to do? – Use the string for something.
What are we going to use it for?
A roll of twine and a task on top.
– And that seems to be it. – Let's do it.
– "Empty the roll of string." – "You have 100 seconds."
100 is pretty cool.
– "Most string removed wins. – "Your time starts in five minutes."
– "Or when the first string ..." – "Leaves the roll."
– When the first bit of string is removed.. – You're at 30 seconds.
Time is already running as you read the task.
Can we start with Eva?
I suspect we might learn how not to do the task.
It went pretty well!
It looks a bit dark, but this is Eva after all!
So it may well end up in a positive surprise.
That's clearly a huge "but".
You hold this. Oh no, no!
Put on the yes-hat!
– Three ... – No!
Time's up.
Could we try again?
"Empty the roll of string." That roll?
– That roll, yes. – Shall we start planning?
– Any plans? – Not immediately.
No...!
Mark, hold the string.
– This feels like deja-vu. – Nope!
And time's up.
– Do you need a third attempt? – No.
What a shame.
I love seeing your enthusiasm and solutions.
I hate to be the one to give you points.
That was super energetic. There must be room for artistic desperation.
You mean something like flexible rules allowing for two attempts?
– Yes. – You got two attempts, Eva.
Well, yes, and then I did the same.
After watching Eva panic, I'd like to see the next living picture.
And hopefully someone who manages to hatch a plan.
No, wait a minute.
As late as last night you proudly asked :
"When is the string task coming up? I did really well there!"
And here it comes.
That's a lot of string.
The 100 seconds have started.
You see? Huh?
This is going like shit. But also good.
– 22 seconds left. – It's harder than you'd think.
– Four seconds. – There!
All string has left the roll.
Fantastic.
– That was impressive. – It just came to mind last night.
You really are a former badminton player with those shots.
Weren't you the Danish champion at one point?
– Yes, that was Martin. – Is that true? Yes it is! Funny you should ask.
– Weren't you? – Yes, totally.
– Badminton? – Yes.
He did manage to remove all string from the roll.
– How long did it take? – 98 seconds.
We still need to see three attempts.
Let's watch Julie, Simon and Sebastian, all trying to find —
— a slightly different solution than Martin's really nice try.
It's not so simple... Okay.
I might have to get some tools.
– An angle grinder. – This might well be impossible.
– It's not really moving. – Fucking shit.
Let's do this instead.
No...!
– There. – Very well.
That's an empty roll!
Time's up. That was pretty cool.
Yeah!
– Satisfied? – No.
It really is tool time in Stormester.
A real man with power tools, man. You see that?
There are two different loopholes here.
One is: No one says the string has to come off the roll in one piece.
The other is that you can also choose —
– To hammer the reel out from the roll.
– But the string was too tight, I guess. – Or I was too weak.
Can I have some results, please?
Julie, you got 153 meters of string off the roll before the time was up.
That's better than Eva. It's also worse than all the others.
Three participants got the roll completely free. Let's get their points.
Sebastian, you spent 49 seconds.
But Simon Jul with a box cutter was faster. You only spent 25 seconds.
– We're still at the bottom. – I think you overtook me.
This unrolling task was not the final task of the evening.
The last opportunity to score points and maybe bring home the hamster Hanne —
— will be the final task which is taking place on stage right now.
One contestant will read the task aloud.
And that will be Martin.
Okay.
– With new glasses. – Would you please shut up soon?
Back when you were shutting up, all was well.
"Carry a briefcase with either onions —
— or nothing across the stage and place it on the marker."
"The taskmaster will try to guess what you were carrying. Onions or nothing."
"If the taskmaster guesses correctly, you are eliminated."
– "Last contestant remaining wins." – With onions or ...?
– Onions or nothing. – In a briefcase?
There are two different briefcases. You get to pick one of them.
And you'll have to cheat the taskmaster.
– And if he's right, you're out? – That's correct.
Didn't you know that game?
– Who will carry the briefcase first? – First, I'd like all participants to stand up.
If you happen to be eliminated, you can sit back down.
The first to try to cheat the taskmaster is Simon.
Please pick a briefcase.
– Can I come out now? – Whenever you want.
I was waiting for a "Come out, my friend."
If anyone can fool me when it comes to onions or no onions —
— then it's Simon.
But I'll say: There's nothing inside that briefcase. Would you mind opening it, Mark?
Its empty. So you're eliminated.
– So I get to sit down? – Yes.
Julie, it's your turn.
Was that a double bluff? There's not a single onion in that briefcase.
– Please open, Mark. – Just wait and see.
– Woah! – There are onions inside.
There were onions in it. Double bluff!
Sebastian, it's your turn.
How cunning!
That's sneaky.
But that's an onion-free briefcase. You put it down too easily.
I'll go sit down.
Eva, you're already well on your way.
Oh, that's too clever. I don't see what you're doing.
There are so many onions in that case that I can't even count them.
It's full of onions.
Yes it is.
Well, Martin. What can you do?
Let's summarise:
In just a single round, Julie can win if Martin doesn't trick me.
– You'll have to see. – Good luck, Martin.
Focus!
It's kept gyroscopically still. No...!
Now guess.
I think ...
I think you offered me onions. It's full of onions, so many onions.
Show me the onions.
One of you managed to trick me. Five points for Julie Rudbæk.
Who is tonight's winner, Mark Le Fêvre?
The onion queen is Julie!
– That means I have a new pet! – Go grab your rodent.
Yes!
And that's how Hanne found a new home.
I once heard something from a platinum blonde woman in a white dress—
— standing over a hot air grill trying to hold hold the dress.
She looked at me and said, "Thank you for tonight."
