I love you! - Popcorn!
Go Teddy!
Is it a big toe? - My god!
Just say yes. - You shouldn't smile.
Come on! - It's not that difficult.
Good evening and welcome to Stormester
a competition of originality for sharp minds.
No-one has yet missed out on the opportunity to win.
But maybe the top will be from the bottom tonight. Everything is at stake for...
Hadi Ka-koush.
Petra Nagel.
Anders Lund Madsen.
Kathrine Abrahamsen.
And Jesper Ole Feit Andersen.
♫ Who is that sitting here? ♫ ♫ Right there, ah, let it be. ♫ [children's rhyme]
♫ He rarely has stinky toes, ♫ ♫ Mark le Fêvre. ♫
Is there anything new with you, Mark?
Well... Well, well...
What happened?
I don't want to be... But I can offer some good advice.
If you ever have to feed a horse…
Flat hand.
Good luck with that. We're over halfway through the season
where the winner gets to go home with my golden face over here.
In addition, we compete for a prize that a participant has brought with them.
That is completely correct. And Anders...
What have you brought? - I...
It's hard because when you see it
as it is there, for many people it is just a stone.
Is it granite from Bornholm? - No. [Danish island with very old granite]
No. But I'm glad you asked. It is Swedish granite, Jesper Ole.
We are going back 12 years
to the small square in front of the Church of Catherine in Stockholm,
where you can look out over the canal lock,
and the beautiful intertwining views down towards Gamla Stan [old Stockholm].
It was November. It was me and my partner at the time.
And the rain fell, Lasse, as it does in November in Stockholm.
Then I got down on one knee for my fiance, who didn't...
Oh yes.
And on that rock was where my knee fell.
There I asked for her hand in marriage.
And she said yes. And the rest...
And the following year I returned
and dug up that rock at night.
It's probably
the most valued object in our home.
Now it is up there and can be won.
I guess we'll stay in the mineral kingdom.
Going straight from a stone from Stockholm to the first task of the evening.
Yes, we are talking bridges made of sand.
Oh! - Oh!
Good day. - What the hell is that?
A bucket of water and a bucket of sand.
Yes...
Is it real water? - Yes.
It looks so nice.
There is a bucket of water, a bucket of sand, and a piece of land.
And a very talented man. - Okay.
My guess: Get the egg across the river without the horse suspecting it.
"Build the highest sand bridge above the river."
"Your sand bridge must be able to support the weight of the egg"
"and the egg must be able to pass under the sand bridge."
"You must not leave the room."
"You have 20 minutes. Highest sand bridge wins."
"Time starts now." 20 minutes. A sand bridge.
Sand bridge.
Is it a bridge made of sand? - Yes.
A sand bridge does not have to be built only of sand.
A gold chair does not have to be made of the purest gold.
There may also be other elements. But as I say to the participants:
If you show the bridge to some friends
then they should think: That's a bridge made of sand.
I was not aware of that. - This is not how the task is formulated.
Jesper Ole has understood that.
Some protest, others say it's fine.
Enough talking about this. Let's see some sand bridges.
We start with Hadi, Petra and Kathrine.
Now you know it's going to be good.
High sand bridge over the river.
Are you missing something? - Yes.
Is the surface made of sand or is the bridge made of sand?
Sand bridge. - It's probably a bridge made of sand.
Stiffeners, that's how you build a bridge. You can't just do that with sand.
Sand bridge.
Oops.
How much sand do you want to use? - Enough.
Sand bridge.
- How much sand does it say?
Is it made of sand? - No.
There must be some sand on top of these tables.
No, now it's all about... Well.
A bridge does not need a lot of sand before it becomes a sand bridge.
Would you tell your friends: "You have to see this sand bridge, we saw?"
Yes.
I just want to say: success.
The sickest sand bridge ever. - You can't solve it any other way.
A sand bridge...!
The phrase 'sand bridge' was said 21 times in this clip.
And that is 21 times more sand bridges than were built in the clip.
What a nice beard you have, Lasse.
In my defence, I will say: The shoes are sand-coloured.
Let's dive into that. Insanely beautiful solutions, but...
How high was your bridge? - Mine was sand-coloured.
Isn't that a 'sand-al'? - Yeah. Thanks!
Thanks. Yes! - We are here for each other.
I'll once again return to the wording.
Does it say, "Build the highest sand-coloured sandal bridge?" No.
We've actually used this as a sort of litmus test.
The last time we recorded a programme, we - without you knowing
we showed these three constructions to a full crowd and asked:
"What do you think this is?" "What do you see?"
I feel exposed. - I can understand that.
Mark, what answers did we get? How many answered 'sand bridge'?
There were many good suggestions.
35 guessed it was something to do with miniature golf.
You had a focus group? - We had to.
Consisting of several hundred.
This is image sharing without consent.
There is some GDPR-stuff that's completely off. [GDPR = European data protection regulation]
Your sandals are private after all. - It's super private.
Wait a minute.
What we are doing here will be seen by over 100 people.
This is recorded? - Yes.
I do not want to do that. - Okay, yes.
Well...
We'll see if they return. Meanwhile, Jesper can enjoy the space.
We will just continue reviewing what the audience said.
You have to make a choice, Kathrine. - Yeah but this is fun.
Back in. - Alright then.
Anders? - I won't be the only one.
When we really protest in Denmark, it looks like this.
It is an exodus for 20 seconds. And then I think I've proved my point.
You got scared there. - Mark, many guessed miniature golf.
35 guessed mini golf, but now a nice picture emerges.
200 guessed a bridge.
And out of the 200, how many guessed a sand bridge?
Around... Now let's not mix it up...
Out of 200... Zero. - There were zero who said sand bridge.
Don't clap that.
You can see where this is going...
Yes. Five, four, three.
Two, one, zero, zero, zero. - Are we at zero?
Yes, you haven't built a sand bridge.
And ironically, that's three 'eggs' for you.
Three times zero, I'm afraid.
It's a rough start, but there are two solutions left.
We can quickly conclude that it is a difficult task.
There is a bucket of water and a bucket of sand.
And a small horse, which, according to Anders, is "shitty".
The highest sand bridge.
After all, it is difficult to get sand to make a bridge structure.
♫ The highest sand bridge. ♫
♫ Today I'll build it with my hands. ♫
Horse and stable.
Trojan horse.
This horse is shitty.
There is something hidden inside the horse.
There. - There is nothing in it that I can use.
What have you found?
A lot of thingamabobs und sachen. [German: 'and stuff']
I need to make this into a high bridge at breakneck speed.
It need to be able to go under.
What are all the little gizmos for?
It makes it high.
Did all the things help you? - No.
This is fucking shit.
I don't want my children to see this.
Then we can start building up.
Five seconds.
It looks like shit.
♫ King Christian stood by the high mast... ♫ [one of two Danish national anthems]
Excuse me.
♫ ...in smoke and... ♫
Time's up.
Here you go.
Really hard. - You did it without any of that.
Your curiosity pays off, Jesper. Last time you found a telescopic ladder.
This time there is plenty of thingamabobs und sachen.
Thingamabobs und sachen und andren dingen. [German: 'stuff, and other things']
[In German] Dear viewers in Germany, I am sitting here with the Taskmaster
[In German] and the little Taskmaster, Mark Le Fêvre.
These thingamabobs and stuff didn't really help you much.
No, no. It isn't a reward for me.
The reward is just finding them.
A knowledgeable man like you, Anders, and your delight in Greek mythology...
Why couldn't the horse be Trojan?
I can't explain it. I think I just took a dislike to it.
It blocks the creative insight that Jesper Ole has.
You seem disappointed with your bridge construction.
My father was an engineer and if he had seen that...
We used to drive out...
out by the Hillerød motorway, where there was a bridge with a structural fault.
It had collapsed before the inauguration.
And with the whole family in the car, my father said:
"That's what happens when you don't do things properly."
Since then, you felt super safe driving with dad over Danish bridges.
Because they were made properly.
There are two approved sand bridges. How tall are they, Mark?
Anders, you built a sand bridge that was 62 cm.
But Jesper, you land on... 55 cm. It's 7 cm lower than yours, Anders.
I didn't expect that. It is not deserved. What a start!
We put the bridge constructions behind us. The next task is whimsical.
It is a two-fold task. One part takes place above the belt.
The second takes place below the belt.
Oh no.
Hi, Mark. What? No task?
Bonsoir.
Hi, Mark. - Hello Kathrine.
It looks a bit sparse.
Why is there no task? - There is a task.
It's not there.
See, it's good to be paranoid. - Okay...!
No matter what it says, I will go into it with my head held high.
"Do something remarkable under this table with one hand."
"You have 20 minutes to prepare..."
"and one attempt. You must..."
"look into the camera, smile, and wave with the other hand."
"Most remarkable thing done under the table wins."
"Time starts now."
Now it really getting started up in here.
Like this. This hand down here and do something.
Is there a well-equipped fridge? Is there fresh fish?
So, Mark...
Do we have cream?
I hear fresh fish. I hear cream.
It must be remarkable. Mark?
We start with the mentioned piece of fresh fish.
Anders, you called it:
"A feat of hand that will lull anyone into a restless sleep."
We will also see Kathrine make a small hand puppet
where your description fits very well as well.
Mark, get ready for some of the most spectacular things you will ever see.
Like this, for example.
A feat of hand that will lull you into a restless sleep.
Hi, Mark. I feel a little bad.
I am nauseated.
There are many teeth. There are many teeth!
Something you ate? - It may well be. I'm going down here.
Then I stop.
Am I throwing up? Am I throwing up now?
Did your ear just get drained? - It's probably an ear infection.
Voilà!
It's disturbing. Not just the sight of fingers in the maw of a monkfish.
The question immediately arises:
I can see your hand coming out of the mouth. Where does it go in?
Some ideas shouldn't be more than an idea,
and that's nice.
After all, a monkfish has an insane number of backward-facing teeth
which means that when you fist a monkfish
then you get your forearm torn up.
Kathrine, what was the dream and hope?
I also have some doubts about that now.
What did I have at hand? And it was...
Your hand. - My hand.
I'm assuming you've never seen a hand throw up before.
That is really remarkable. - Yes. I haven't missed seeing it.
The only two notable things I've seen under a table today.
Who are we going to see now? - On paper the task is PG.
Should something shady come up, it says something about
what is going on inside the heads of Jesper and Hadi.
Are you ready? - Yes.
Now you're going to get it. Or...
Come on! Come on!
Whipped. Ready? Three, two, one.
Hello!
Ana asif. It means 'sorry' in Arabic.
I hadn't thought of that before I came up with that idea.
Bye-bye.
Gentlemen, this is a family show.
Then it's lucky that there are family-friendly
things going on under the table.
Still, you had to say sorry, Hadi. What are you apologising for?
My mother watches this show,
and I hadn't actually thought it through.
I'm sitting there like "This is going to be great."
Do you always smile so much while doing that?
I have an answer ready, but it's a family programme. Mama, ana asif.
But remarkably... They say you can't clap with one hand.
I can clap with one hand.
And you can whip cream by hand.
I would also like to say sorry to my mother.
Because I have never undertaken that task at home.
But I've always been able to whip cream with one hand.
I just haven't bothered to do it at home.
I want to do that for next time. Also mayo.
There were two remarkable things. We need a single one.
The challenge is that none of the participants can see what they are doing.
If you now move into something that is extremely dangerous
then you are either foolhardy... or just stupid.
Or brilliant? Ambitious?
Yes... yes. At least now it's Petra turn.
We have traveled to Italy. It's nice and warm.
Now I start.
Do not touch the pan. Okay.
Okay.
I want the pasta in the pan.
We're almost there, Mark. - That is good news.
It got some water. At least it got a splash.
It stays nice and juicy now.
Final touch.
Boop.
Pasta Petra.
Isn't that great?
The pasta is cooked... perfectly.
It's way too salty. It tastes terrible.
But the texture of the pasta is really good.
Imagine, I did that with one hand.
It's really impressive.
Is it... What is it called?
...olio e aglio, we got there? [Italian: 'olive oil and garlic']
Cacio e pepe. [Italian: 'cheese and pepper']
Yes, there was lots of cacio in it. Lots of salt in the dish.
Yes, it tasted terrible.
The consistency was good. The taste... - It wasn't terrible.
It was over-salted. There was a little too much salt in it.
One's friends would say it was a 'salt pasta'.
It was a cacio.
We served it to an audience of 600 a week ago.
Now I'm walking out soon.
35 guessed 'mini golf'. It was madness.
I'm ready to hand out some points.
I don't know how remarkable clapping with one hand is.
Have you seen it before?
In the movie At klappe med een hånd. ['One Hand Clapping', 2001 comedy drama]
It is so remarkable that you can make a movie out of it.
So give yourself a hand.
1 point for Hadi. And 2 points for Kathrine. It failed a bit.
3 points for Anders. The fish is the most remarkable.
Then we are in the kitchen with Petra and Jesper. There are several ingredients.
You serve an edible meal. It goes to Petra. 4 points for Jesper.
Let's have one more task.
I'm excited for this one. We're talking exciting chicken scratch.
We also have to pass by the fruit and vegetable department.
Hi, Mark. - Hey, Hadi.
Wow, some nice vegetables.
There you are. - Now what is it?
It's fresh. - Have you cooked for me?
Where is the envelope? - There isn't one.
Do you eat a lot of vegetables? - Mmm.
Oops.
Smart.
Clever. There are things on it.
A Chinese radish usually doesn't have that.
"Get an interesting autograph..." - "on an interesting vegetable."
"Most interesting autograph..."
"on the most interesting vegetable wins."
"You have until the studio recordings." - "Time starts now."
How wonderful. - Interesting vegetable.
I don't understand what an interesting vegetable is.
An interesting vegetable is a large, visually delicious vegetable.
What does 'vegetable' cover? It could be that you could...
I might win this one.
I wanted to meet some actors. I could also gain a little from that.
I'll come up with something.
I'm chasing the most interesting autograph. Who are we starting with?
Petra? - Yes.
I find interesting people interesting
because they have experienced a lot of things.
I have chosen to make my vegetable interesting
and have brought it into my life.
There is a journey it has been on,
and it starts in a village in Mexico.
I buy it from a woman. She hasn't been to the dentist in a long time
but I buy a vegetable from her.
I don't know this vegetable. And that tickles me.
I think: How interesting you are. I want to take you home.
Then I bring my vegetable to work.
I also brought it with me to one of the seven wonders of the world, Chichen Itza.
It needed to have that experience.
It was also present at Asbjørn's birthday.
And then there is also an event
which is so big that it had to be the first to join it.
No...!
So... I'll have to unfasten my trousers now.
But by now I have a need to know its identity.
What kind of vegetable is that?
So I find someone who I think: He must know.
Then I ask: "What is it, Rasmus?"
Rasmus Kofoed is probably one of the world's best chefs. [he has 3 Michelin stars and won the Bocuse d'Or]
Not just really.
He has been named the world's best chef.
I ask him what it is. He replies that it is a...
...Casablanca Cappuccina?
It is a Mexican variant of a pumpkin.
Then he gives me his autograph on it.
Wow!
Mark, whose turn is it? - Hadi.
Yes, I was very confident that I could win this one,
because there is someone that I know very well
who works with one of the most famous people on Earth. [referencing either Sidse Babett Knudsen (Westworld, Inferno) or Lars Mikkelsen (The Witcher, House of Cards, Sherlock)]
So I wanted that autograph. But I didn't get that.
But there's a movie that's just been made in Hollywood,
and one of the main characters has mixed ancestry. Blue eyes and dark skin.
I think it's interesting that you try to create a way forward for
that you can look all sorts of ways.
I'm going with racism, because people like that.
I think he's really interesting. And the movie is really interesting.
Because I got an autograph of the red Power Ranger.
We come a long way, huh? - Yes.
Now we have to go all the way to Jesper Ole.
It's not Power Rangers, but it's gritty politics.
We must... We are not in Denmark. It is not Lars Løkke. [former Danish Prime Minister]
But it is a politician of a certain... magnitude
one would say over there across the pond.
It's the big old US of A. - The States?
Yes, and in the US, there lives a man
with ancestry to Kenya, among other things.
Hawaii and Chicago, and so on.
His name is...
...Barack Hussein Obama.
He was President...
...of the US in a period between 2012 and something else.
I wish I could tell a super cool story like Petra
But I cannot. I haven't gotten pregnant yet.
Barack Obama's favourite vegetable is actually…
...broccoli.
According to Reddit.
Have you got Obama's autograph? - Now listen here.
I got Barack Obama's autograph on this broccoli.
Wild.
Are you ready? - Yes.
The story is incredibly exciting. I met Barack...
I met Barack in 2018, in the city Kolding, where he's holding a lecture.
Interesting lecture. I just run up to him and say, "Hey!"
I even have the book with me. Then he signs it and says:
"Nice to meet you, my friend Jesper Ole."
It's either that story or it's
it's that I bought this from an anonymous person in Valby a few days ago.
From a person? - Anonymous.
Three interesting autographs. Who now?
Kathrine has to try to top that. - It is an insanely difficult field.
I have chosen a rhubarb.
I've never been president of the US, but it's my favourite vegetable.
You're crazy about rhubarb trifle. And if you're full
and there is rhubarb dessert, you take some anyway.
I've been thinking about who is interesting
both for me, but also for you.
Can you see whose autograph I got?
It's my girlfriend's autograph. I can see that from here.
I think it must be hard for you to say
that someone is more interesting than the person you are dating.
You going with the threat. The boxing gloves.
That's cunning, Kathrine. But you're dancing on a knife edge.
We need one autograph and one vegetable.
It's over to you, Anders Lund Madsen.
And Lasse...
Why are we human?
Oh, here we go.
What makes us human?
Our thumbs operate independently of...
No other animal can do this.
It is true.
But also the ability to feel empathy.
Correct. And also for making intricate constructions.
We are capable of making complicated societies.
And what happens in these communities? We create hierarchies.
The hierarchies are usually sharpest at the top.
This is what makes them hierarchical.
Like it or not, but it's interesting about power, Lasse.
I would like to ask to have the first movie played.
[the aforementioned Lars Løkke Rasmussen]
My good friend Anders has sent me on a vegetable expedition here in Greenland.
I'm considering a completely fresh pepper,
but it probably won't last until I get home.
So I'm debating whether we should go for some pointed cabbage.
This is the offer of the week. 40.95 kroner [£4.50].
So the choice falls on a pointed cabbage for 40 kroner and 95 øre.
And the...
You can have it, Lasse. It is the No. 1 vegetable.
That pointed cabbage is not a Greenlandic cabbage.
It is a Spanish cabbage.
Sent to Greenland and then shipped home to Denmark again.
And autographed by current Minister and former Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen.
Then many would say: "That's fine."
He is, after all, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
I feel it will be lop-sided if we don't hear both sides. [Løkke is right-wing].
So I ask the chairman of the Enhedslisten, Mai... [Enhedslisten is the Danish far-left party]
Villadsen. - Thanks. Mai Villadsen.
You had forgotten her name. Very, very interesting.
Mai has chosen to autograph directly on the cabbage.
But while you sit and weigh your cabbages, you will also feel doubts.
Why cabbage? How can the pointed cabbage, this whore among vegetables...
"A whore among vegetables"? Did you say that?
I'll say it again. The whore among vegetables.
Anders, the cabbage can hear you.
How can it be the most significant
and most interesting of all vegetables?
I can ramble on about that for half an hour. I won't do that.
So I have asked Professor of Plant Physiology, Michael Palmgren
to come and briefly explain the... nature of the cabbages.
Micki, where are you? Here he comes.
Good day. Welcome.
You just take it from here, Micki.
If you have to eat cabbage and you do have to, because it's healthy
then the pointed cabbage is the cabbage that develops the least gas in the stomach.
Perfect. - Important.
Broccoli is also a cabbage. But it is not in the same league.
But cabbage is incredibly fascinating, because it is the dog of plants.
How?
There is an incredible richness of form among cabbages,
even though they are the same species.
In reality, they are poor mutants of each other who...
The pointed cabbage is a knob
which lies low to the ground and has difficulty shooting.
But that problem has now been solved by wrapping it in plastic...
And you have both.
...to prevent it from breathing.
It sounds very morbid. - It is very much alive.
Now you are eating a living plant.
After all, you have to respect the cabbage.
It has twice as many genes as you.
I am primarily a vegetarian.
Not because I love animals, but because I hate plants.
You are not a good person simply because you eat the way you do now.
Now this takes a turn.
Even if you slice a pointed cabbage, it is still alive.
It will lie dormant inside the fridge.
When you open the refrigerator and the light comes in, it photosynthesises.
In the hope. - I don't know how much it hopes.
But Professor Palmgren, in conclusion...
is the pointed cabbage even more interesting
than the other excellent cabbages?
It has been cultivated for 500 years. It was the basis for sauerkraut.
Many people use white cabbage for sauerkraut.
It was overtaken by white cabbage in the 1960s, when it was industrialised.
The white cabbage lasts forever. - White cabbage is a boring vegetable.
Ah... I like...
In addition to sauerkraut, there is also krautsalat. It tastes really good.
In Germany, filderkraut is the name for the variety that they have cultivated.
I think it was in 1772 at the monastery Denkendorf in Baden-Württemberg
where the monks started refining the pointed cabbages,
in an area called Die Filder.
There they still hold festivals in honor of the pointed cabbages.
But it went downhill in the '60s.
It is very much back. - It has been revived.
Thanks for making us more aware of the pointed cabbages.
Wow.
I am ready to declare my heartfelt gratitude
to use a professor of plant physiology
to explain why pointed cabbages are interesting.
Other entertainment programmes would hardly do the same.
I am ready to award points. There are five very different bids on
how to add an interesting autograph to an interesting vegetable.
I'm too old to have been a Power Ranger fan,
and I have not physically experienced the spinach leaf. 1 point for Hadi.
Now it gets a little more difficult.
I would really like to see the autograph on the vegetable.
Isn't broccoli the most popular vegetable?
I wouldn't give myself many points either.
There are 2 points for Jesper Ole. Now it gets difficult
because I still have to give points for my partner's autograph.
But you have to put your foot down sometimes, Kathrine, so she is aware of:
There are two of us to run this race, and we're pulling the same hammer, so...
I might end up sleeping outside for a while.
But regardless, I love rhubarb... 3 points.
Ouch!
I think you will be more upset about the 3 points than I am.
And now it gets difficult. I'm a huge fan of excellent chefs
and it is an interesting vegetable.
To obtain a personal service from the top of Danish politics
the highest-paid minister Lars Løkke, supplemented by Mai Villadsen
and then drag in a professor to make arguments for his vegetable...
Anders, 5 points. 4 points for Petra.
Thanks. Thank you.
We all became wiser.
I became a little more afraid to go home.
Mark, we need a task.
A teddy bear needs to be moved very quickly.
It's just that, unfortunately, there are rules.
And the only thing is that the rules must be understood.
Le Fêvre. - No, a giant teddy bear!
Start... finish.
Now I open it.
"Get the teddy bear the fastest..." - "from start to finish."
"You have one try."
"You must stay behind the starting line during..."
"the whole try."
"Time starts when the teddy bear..." - "crosses the starting line."
"and ends when it crosses the finish line."
"You must not move the start or finish line"
"and Mark must not help." - "Fastest wins."
"You have a maximum of 20 minutes."
Teddy bear time starts when the teddy bear crosses the line
and ends when it crosses the finish line?
This teddy bear has to go from here to there.
I can't run with the teddy bear, and I can't walk with this one. No.
No, and you have to... Ah, what do I do?
Do you want to take the rules again, mostly for Kathrine's sake?
I still haven't understood the assignment.
"Move the teddy bear from start to finish." You have 20 minutes to prepare.
For those 20 minutes, you can run around as much as you want,
but when the attempt starts, it takes place behind the start line.
After all, I have tried to block the most obvious loopholes.
Shall we look at someone looking for holes in my wording
or should we see someone who completely misunderstands the task?
Misunderstanding... We'll return to Kathrine later...
and instead jump to you, Anders,
with a slightly more action-oriented solution.
Give me a moment.
Ha-ha!
Oh yes!
What I must do now, my friend
is to make sure that Teddy doesn't get cold feet.
It's a bit like a seat belt.
He has a good direction now.
It's lighter fluid. - Ignition fluid?
It's just to get this right…
Like that.
Off with you, Teddy! You can handle it... No!
Teddy bear!
Choose life, Teddy. Teddy bear, teddy bear, teddy bear!
It started so well.
That teddy bear is finally free. Well done, Daddy Bear.
Sick action. Wow.
I have seven children and since '89, when I had my first
I developed a fierce hatred for stuffed animals.
I don't see anything conciliatory about them. The bigger they are...
Then you are in Tivoli [amusement park] and they say:
"You get a free choice from all the shelves."
"I want a big teddy bear."
Don't you have a professor who can come and explain it?
So that's what came out here. Emotions are also emotions.
It starts as a nice attempt, and ends as a half-attempted murder.
It is still the teddy bear that is inept.
The teddy bear hasn't come home yet.
Who will try to get Teddy to the finish line?
Now we're going to see you, Kathrine. It is also said in the clip:
Kathrine, you have actually taken a real education.
Yes.
You wouldn't believe it, but I have.
What is your plan? - I have no plan. At all.
Because I don't understand. - Which part is confusing?
I understand, I just can't find the solution in my head.
I'm just not smart enough for this.
You don't want this task solved. Is it just to throw it?
I have a secondary education. It can't be. I'm not this stupid.
I not allowed to do this, but then Lasse Rimmer has to stop me.
And then I just won't pass.
And now the time has passed.
How are you feeling? - I'm a gigantic loser.
But the others are just as stupid as I am.
The task has stuck with me.
I don't understand why I couldn't understand it.
You should have burned that teddy bear. - Yes, on an electric scooter.
But you didn't. Two times zero points.
I want to see someone who has solved the task.
I didn't anticipate that a cute teddy bear would cause such anger.
Let's change the mood a bit. We are going to Petra and Hadi.
Is it now? - Yes.
Three, two, one, now!
There.
Great. I am satisfied.
It's been quite a desert trek for you, Hadi.
The last two shows were crap. Not the programmes, I was crap.
You have finally reached an oasis. Thirsty as you are, dehydrated…
If you disqualify me now, I'll go.
And I won't fake it. I'll leave.
This actually could be really exciting because you solve the task
without forgetting... any of the rules.
I am deeply disappointed not to be able to disqualify a participant.
But it is my feeling that Hadi is a bit faster than Petra.
Petra, you did it in 16 seconds.
But you are sharp, because Hadi did it in 2.1.
2.1 seconds is a tough time to beat. It must be beaten by Jesper Ole.
Can he turn the standings upside-down with a strong result?
At least some things are turned upside-down.
But we will have to see whether these are actually positions.
"Time starts when the teddy bear crosses the starting line." Pardon.
Immediately, and now it's just me...
There are no lines here.
There is a finish flag and a start flag,
but there are no lines whatsoever.
I just have to check something.
"Line..."
"a drawn or written, usually straight, line."
Nothing has been drawn.
"A unit of division on a measuring instrument."
It is not.
I think it's a done deal. I don't see the line.
So we take Lars, and then the bus leaves.
Also...
...we are here under the goal flag. Jesus Christ.
Well done.
See you. - Good luck.
I write the tasks and Mark stages them.
Mark, what is Jesper Ole up to here?
Why is there no starting line drawn?
Yes...
That's... a great question.
Because I might have forgotten.
You forgot to draw the starting line mentioned in the task?
Weren't there streaks with the rest of us? - No.
I don't know if you failed to read the entire definition in the dictionary.
I shan't say. There are so many words in that book,
and it's such a long programme already.
We have been dealing with vegetables. Shouldn't we...?
Part of the definition is:
"An imaginary line that emphasises something."
Again?
As in, between two flags or bars. I have imagined that line,
and it goes right under the finish and start flags in my head.
It would do that to many. - Me too,
because otherwise I would seem idiotic.
But the problem is that no-one has crossed the start or finish line.
Then I must also have points. - No, then no-one gets points.
Let's do it. Please!
Then you need to leave.
Please, please! Please-please-please! - I have so much nervous energy in my body.
I can feel that if that happens
then we have a conflict from now until we are done here,
and maybe the rest of your life. I wouldn't like that.
I wanted to stand behind some mindless word thing.
I don't like you now either.
Now I'm doing something you rarely experience with complaints.
If you stand by your appeal, then all five of you are disqualified.
Please! Jesper Ole, you can have my first-born!
If you withdraw your complaint, there are 4 points for Petra
and 5 for Hadi. The rest of you are disqualified.
Now you have to think, Jesper Ole.
Now comes the thing we talked about.
The possibility of being an asshole. - You never are.
Try it, baby. Try it! Feel how it is!
Two participants made a fine effort. Kathrine threw a bear like this.
I'll leave that up to the audience.
Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!
Now we go to the Colosseum in the old days.
The one where they say: We let them live. They get the points.
And the one who says: We will all be eaten by the lions.
This is potent.
Then we let's do it. You must complete your vote.
Shall we start with a little... - Stand up.
Let Hadi and Petra
get the victory in the teddy bear relay?
Or shall we all be eaten by the lions?
Sit down, Kathrine. The people have spoken.
The people have spoken!
And I don't have to take any responsibility.
So everyone is happy.
It is unchanged for you.
You will be disqualified no matter what.
There are 5 points for Hadi and 4 for Petra.
Who's leading now?
It's a close race. In the lead we have Petra, but also Anders.
No...!
The winner will be whoever pulls the strongest
in the very last task of the evening. It is taking place here on the stage now.
With two participants who are side-by-side in the points distribution
then it pays to make the effort.
But who will read the assignment aloud? - You, Anders Lund Madsen.
Here you go.
Then I just open it.
You break a seal in many ways when you do that.
Okay, let's do this. Shit.
"Tie the towel as tightly as you can around your body."
How should 'the body' be understood? - "You have 30 seconds."
"How should the body be understood?"
"When you are satisfied, place your hands on your head."
"Time starts on Mark's signal."
It must be tied as tightly as possible. 30 seconds. Time starts now.
Hands on your head!
Hands on your head, Petra.
Fine. - I can't breathe.
It would be a fool's errand if there weren't more.
And we certainly have more work to do. Right, Mark? We actually do.
There is no blood in my leg.
No no. - I'm getting a little mad already.
Who will read the second part of the assignment aloud?
Anders. - Then I have to put my hands down.
I'll break the seal.
Yes please. It'll probably go a little faster.
Oh God.
What does it say? "Get your entire towel into your bucket."
"Your hands must remain on your head throughout the task."
"Fastest wins and time restarts on Mark's signal."
Time starts now.
Hello.
Petra...
And Anders is close.
Anders Lund Madsen is in the clear.
And Kathrine.
There is still a battle for 2 and 1 points, respectively.
It smells like 2 points for Jesper Ole.
That's where we're at.
It is not over yet.
You may remove your hands from your heads.
I can judge Hadi's general attitude right now
to be that you've given up.
That means zero points for him. Who has won tonight's programme?
You can sense it in her already. It's you, Petra!
With a historical connection to a courtship and the Stockholm Bloodbath
the trophy is a stone from Stockholm, won by Petra Nagel.
But who will win the whole season?
If you just tuned in, you missed it all. Thanks for tonight.
