Lift me up!
- Come on, Mark! - I got so far!
That's the pipe up my ass.
Ow!
- Huba! - I'm very grateful.
I'd like to be alone.
Good evening and welcome to Stormester.
Who wouldn't dream of basking in my affection?
It could be one of these folks. Could it be Puk Elgård?
Or Mathias Helt.
Maybe Natasha Brock.
Carsten Eskelund.
Or Tobias Dybvad.
By my side, as always -
- my loyal assistant, Mark le Fêvre.
It feels like something is different about you, Mark.
I've had a dumb experience. I've been to a numerologist.
Yes ...
My name is still Mark le Fêvre.
Because she argued, in all seriousness -
- that I should change my name to Adolf le Fêvre.
Thanks. I also thought it was appropriate, so I said:
"I don't wanna pay for that. I would rather spend the money on my dog, Goebbels."
And that's that.
Before we get started, who brought a prize?
- Puk Elgård brought something. - And I would really like to win it back.
There's only one in the whole world, I believe.
I call it half dog, half human.
Begone! Begone!
- Did you make that? - Yes.
One half is my dog, Alba, and the other half is me.
Both halves are peering directly into my soul.
It was the most unique thing I could find at home.
Unique is ... accurate.
Ask Christian Bitz about that, because he has a similar one.
Now we know what's on the line. What's the first task?
I can imagine it's brought much joy to our contestants.
And their families, as well.
There's nothing about this task that could be a pain.
Hi, Lasse. It's Mark.
Hello ...?
Oh.
- A phone. - That's an old one.
Are we doing prank calls?
No ...!
"Call an older family member and make them hang up."
- "If you end the conversation..." - "Or the family member ..."
- "Gets suspicious ..." - "You will be disqualified."
- "Fastest wins." "Your time starts when you call."
- "Call an older family member." - "Make them hang up."
Yes, okay ...
One of the contestants put a prize on the line.
Here, all of you are putting your close relationships on the line.
Who will attempt the first task first?
We'll start by meeting your very sweet mother, Natasha.
We'll also see Mathias Helt solve the task, almost without panicking.
I'm calling now.
- Hi. - Hello.
- There you are. - Here I am.
What's up ...
Have you spoken to ...
... about when we should ...
Nice. Good quality.
Why are you cutting out?
Well, I ...
If you don't have time, we can chat some other time.
I have so much time to talk to you.
Hello? Oh ...
Just call me later. It's cutting out all the time.
- Oh, is something up with the signal? - Not at all.
I can't hear you.
(Singing)
Mark?
- Did I lose you? - Now you're gone again.
- I'm sorry. - I can hear you now.
Mathias?
Mathias? Mathias?
I don't know what to do.
Just call me back later. Bye bye.
Well, Mathias. See you.
- Isn't she sweet? - Very sweet.
I feel so bad.
Your plan is to manipulate the call -
- so it sounds like the reception is bad. Is your mom singing?
Yes, she is. She makes her own hold music.
And now she does it every time we talk, and she says: "Am I on TV?"
Mathias, you seem like a guy who doesn't like bad vibes.
That's correct. I'm really bad with it.
I grew up in a home where you never ever lie.
It's the most interesting conversation I've had with my brother.
We've never spoken for that long.
Thanks to Stormester for bringing the family together.
Well, it's ... Yes, yes.
Mark, can I have some times?
Mathias, your call lasted five minutes and 42 seconds.
Natasha, you make your mom hang up after three minutes and 22 seconds.
It sounds very quick -
- but it sure didn't feel that way.
Who's next?
We move on to you, Tobias Dybvad. A little PSA:
If you're sitting at home and don't like awkward conversations -
- then this is a great time to turn off your TV.
- It's your cousin. - Hey cousin.
We're moving, as you might have heard.
I haven't heard that, but ...
We could use a hand.
When?
In week 42.
Tuesday. Work hours.
- Tuesday the 17th, right? - Yeah.
I think we're in Jutland that day.
It has to be the 17th? It can't be the 19th?
Yes, if you can do the 19th.
Yes.
I think so.
- That's great. - Yeah, of course. Cool.
- Is that a deal? - Yes.
Then, say hi at home.
I will.
Yes. Talk later.
- We will. - Bye.
You thought: What errand would people be most eager to sneak out of?
Exactly. What would I do? "Hello?"
Does he ever say:
"I would love to help, but I've followed your career."
"Can't you afford a moving company?"
No, he doesn't.
We talked for a while about where we're moving.
"Lyngby Sø? Ooh, someone's made it big."
Your cousin just got exposed as a delightful person.
Who's about to start helping a whole lot of family members move.
- What was the time? - 6,17.
That's absolutely correct.
May I say something?
It's very clear, that I've been put in a room with people -
- who don't call their family members nearly enough.
When you finally call, they're clamoring for every little bit.
Call a little more often, people.
Was there a contestant who approached the task differently?
Yes, we'll look at you, Puk Elgård.
Do you have a phone? May I borrow it?
Hi, it's Puk. Hi, it's Puk.
Nice to hear from you. How's it going?
It's going pretty well. Up to anything special?
No, I just wanted to say hi. Okay, can I call later? I'm at work.
That's okay. I'll call this afternoon. That's great. Bye.
Bye for now.
Everyone's so busy these days.
The task states that you have to call an older family member.
I'm rarely glad my parents are dead, but just this once -
- I was a little bit ...
Right there, I thought: They got off easy.
- When you say hi here, are you older? - Yes, because of the delay.
You're calling yourself. That's a wild thought.
- You have to play the cards you have. - You should be getting seven points.
That's crazy.
You must have been bored during "Go' morgen Danmark" interviews. [Morning TV talk show Puk hosted]
I could have a more interesting conversation with myself.
The worst part, I wasn't allowed to hang up.
But I had to hang up. So it was hard to keep that balance.
Wait a minute, Puk Elgård.
Didn't the rule say, that if you end the conversation yourself, you're disqualified?
Typical Lasse.
Negative seven!
- Boom! - That's impressive.
That's how you go from being clever to being clueless.
Aren't you so sad that your parents are dead right now?
Then you could've called them.
Let's finish up with Carsten Eskelund.
My first thought is my uncle Torben.
If a telemarketer called him, he'd hang up right away.
What magazine would uncle Torben not want?
"Us with something" is a good title.
I have to change my voice.
"What's up ..." I could also just yell.
"Hi, uncle Torben ..." No, I can't say uncle Torben.
Hello, this is Preben from "Us with kidney stones".
A new release, trying to get a foothold on the Danish market.
A brand new magazine ...
That was quick.
Uncle Torben doesn't take much bullshit.
You get eight points.
But you're not allowed to pretend to be someone else, so you get negative eight points.
Was that in the task? I hope not.
- No rules have been broken. - I didn't mess up?
Every rule adhered to. And I suspect a phenomenal time.
12 seconds.
That's it!
I'm breathing on your neck, Natasha.
That felt like five family tragedies -
- performed for my very sensitive eyes.
Can we get some more drama?
Yes, we move onto the world of acting. There's a theory -
- that if you set a bunch of monkeys in front of some typewriters ...
... indefinitely, you will eventually get ...
Banned from ... Panduro Hobby. [Craft store]
I couldn't think of anywhere that'd sell typewriters.
I thought I had something funny. Sorry. Carry on.
If you set a thousand monkeys with crêpe paper and glue guns ...
- No, I'm so sorry. - I appreciate the attempt.
See how hard it is to make typewriter-monkey-based comedy in 2024.
Basically impossible.
I can say with certainty: Uncle Torben has turned off the TV.
But you were just ...
We don't have any monkeys, but at least we have you all.
"Lasse grabbed Mark and exclaimed: 'Kiss me!'"
Act two.
- Hi, Mark. - Good day.
There's a fountain pen.
"Write a play, to be performed by one person."
- "It must last one minute." - "You have 20 minutes."
"Best script wins. Your time starts now." Easy.
You need a point of no return.
Your main character meets something, that triggers the plot.
In grade school, I wrote an erotic novella about me and Harry Potter.
Do you have a typewriter?
What if you wrote a play about someone with writer's block?
I wrote a Christmas story once. Let's go with that.
"Miraculously ..." Start over.
I wrote two lines, which go:
"Santa Claus?" "Santa Claus?"
This is improv, so it's up to the actors.
"He had long pondered."
- "Had an epiphany." - "Jumps down to the polar bear."
- "Undresses." - "To show that it isn't real."
- "Feels free." - "But it is real."
Can you write down what I just did?
Wow.
Natasha, you wrote an erotic novella about you and Harry Potter?
Do you know what the funny thing is? My whole class performed it for our parents.
- Wow. - Awkwardness.
- What happens? Can you ...? - Can you show it?
You have to remember, I was a child.
The most sensual that happens is that Harry Potter and I ...
... salsa danced together.
Woah ...!
You have written five fine, dramatic scripts.
But ... we can't finish the task there.
We only have our imaginations so far.
- You want to see the other half? - Yes.
Hey!
"'The Lemon' by Puk Elgård," it says.
"'The Lemon' by Puk Elgård."
"'The Task' by Mathias Helt."
There's a little script from Tobias Dybvad.
"The Animals?" by Carsten Eskelund. ["Or was it all just in his head?"] I'd like to be up in that head.
- "Stage and perform the play." - "You have 30 minutes."
- "Best performance wins." - "Your time starts now."
So that's the play Puk Elgård wrote.
There's only one page.
There's both Jokum and Regitze.
- Confident? - Well ...
Tell me, Regitze. What's this about?
"Improvised dialogue". Nice and loose.
- "There's an alligator in the room." - "Like a pig after truffles."
- "There's a panther in the room." - "Jokum: satisfied but agitated."
- "My favorite feeling." - "Jumps down to the polar bear."
Why do I have to be the one where someone dies?
"The main character is released. Into the sunset, or whatever it is."
What was Mathias on when he wrote this?
My favorite part is: "Looks up terrified."
I'm excited to get into that.
Intriguing.
We shuffled the scripts around and asked for staging.
There's up to ten points on the table.
Mark, I want to be dramatically entertained. Who's up first?
We start with Carsten Eskelund -
- who's performing a play, a work written by Puk Elgård.
I had big hopes -
- and dreams about touching people with my art, and now I'm sitting here.
Can't do anything. It can't be that hard.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap."
"Crap with crap on it!"
That's pretty good. No.
Hopeless!
I have a hard time interpreting your judgement of the script here.
You describe it as "nice and loose".
Yes. One could also call it sparse.
But this is the kind of script -
- that when you work with it -
- you see the layers coming from someone -
- who might, hypothetically, call themselves on the phone.
- Puk, what do you think? - I'm very touched.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote it.
Not the dropping pants part. But that's up to you.
It made the end really good, just being able to see that.
So I have ...
Where will the next step on the journey take us?
We're watching Natasha perform Carsten's piece -
- called "The animals? Or was it all just in his head?"
- Oh no. It was, yeah. - I'm so sorry.
There's an alligator in the room!
There's a panther in the room!
You're at the zoo.
Chicken!
Camel!
Zebra!
Polar bear!
- You can't believe it. - I can't believe it.
He decides to jump down to the polar bear.
He decides to jump down to the polar bear -
- to show that it isn't real.
But it is real.
Polar bear!
That was damn good.
I'm so sorry.
Carsten?
I thought it was shockingly bad.
Not yours. No, no, damn it.
Not Natasha.
What you got was just letters put in some kind of order.
I'm sorry I gave you that. You carried it -
- to a point, where 40% of the viewers haven't changed the channel.
It's your fault.
I agree, that Natasha carries the text.
But on the other hand, I think Mark drags it down with that polar bear.
Why does it say that? What's that?
It could be something in the edit. Now you get it the right way.
You would be fantastic in an erotic novella -
- about Natasha Brock and Harry Potter.
As Dobby.
Mark, let's move on.
Let's move on to your amazing play, Natasha.
We're getting into the Christmas spirit.
Who better to play a terrified elf than Tobias Dybvad?
SANTA'S WORKSHOP
Santa Claus? Santa Claus?
Santa Claus?
To whom it may concern: I have stolen Santa Claus.
Find him, or Christmas is ruined.
I have to go!
Santa Claus!
Santa ... Santa Claus.
Santa Claus ...
Ho-ho-ho!
Santa Claus? Santa Claus!
Christmas magic doesn't always come wrapped.
Sometimes it comes from stress and panic.
Isn't that what Christmas is truly about?
Come here, you old christmas man.
Christmas must be saved. Santa Claus kidnapped himself -
- to test an elf, who has to learn that the true Christmas spirit is stress.
I'm not saying this is the trailer.
I'm just saying: Keep an eye on the TV Christmas calendar this year.
- It's not that. - Mark, who's next?
They say, that great art asks more questions than it answers.
Will there be questions after this one? You bet ...!
Tell me, Regitze, what's this about? Running left and right.
One thing after another. Do you even know where you are?
Oh, shut up, Jokum. You say that like you know anything.
You squeal like a pig. Cancer this, cancer that.
But we both know it's just recalcitrant tenosynovitis.
Don't come here with your accusations.
We both know -
- that you're tense with anticipation for what you'll never get.
And what you've always yearned for.
Chased through thick and thin -
- like a pig after truffles.
My massive, supple -
- and talkative vulva.
Cool.
- What was that about? - Tobias will explain in a moment.
Tobias, is this an accurate representation of what you wrote?
- Yes, I would say so. - It was live-action with animals.
So those two aren't written as a walrus and a panda?
No. No, no.
I'm enamored and truly baffled by this performance.
But we're still missing one performance -
- of a dramatic piece of art.
That's correct.
Here comes Puk Elgård in a play by Mathias Helt.
He had long pondered what the task might say.
I need to ... I just want to open ...
I'm losing my hair. I'm losing my job.
Damned task.
Do it. There's so much at stake.
My hands ...! No!
It's happening. I'm opening it!
- You're fired. - Fuck!
How did you get into my head and see all that?
This is fantastic, Puk.
And shaving your head for the role. Right?
Tell me more. How was it to work with?
Mathias, it's thematically almost biblical in nature.
Stay away from the forbidden fruit, or you'll be punished.
Beyond that, I didn't understand shit.
Do you want to explain it?
The question is, whether he'll ever understand it.
An interesting question to ask Puk, right before I hand out points.
It'll be over quick. Let's start with the scripts.
We give one point to a script without dialogue. One point for Puk Elgård.
Two points for Mathias.
Three points for Carsten. It's between Tobias and Natasha.
I give five points for "Talk from a balcony" by Tobias -
- and four points for Natasha's Christmas tale.
Now it's harder. None of you completely bungle the acting.
Therefore, two points for Puk and Natasha -
- three points for Carsten's freed playwright -
- four for Mathias as Jokum and Regitze.
And the best: The terrified elf. Tobias Dybvad, five points.
Say bye to that thing.
Tobias Dybvad deserves a hand, but we all deserve a hand.
We deserve many.
I'm picking up what you're putting down. We move on to a task about hands.
So many hands, that it gets a bit nasty.
Especially when you consider that it's my private collection.
Hello.
Hi, Mark.
What's this all of a sudden?
Hold on ...!
- I don't like this. - Great, I'm really into hands.
- What do you think of mine? - I had to get used to them.
"Exclude 1 plate = 100 guesses".
"Find your hand."
- "Find your hand." - "Fewest incorrect guesses wins."
- "You have 20 minutes." - "Your time starts now."
I just have to find my hand.
Find your hand among all these hands from World War II.
How many hands are in your collection?
1800.
1800. But only one of them belongs to each of you.
It's all about finding it. Who's on a hand-hunt first?
Let's start with Carsten and Tobias.
- It's fewest guesses, right? - Yes, but you only have 20 minutes.
That's going to make boring TV.
I wish I knew whether I was wearing a wedding ring.
Maybe switch channels to Eurosport 2 and enjoy the dart championships.
- I would like to use one guess. That one. - No.
Oh! No ... yes.
I don't often wish I had severe arthritis, but ...
Well, that helps a lot.
If only I had owed the mafia some money.
- This one? - No.
I have a vein running down my right ring finger.
- This one? - No.
- Is it this one? - No.
Shut up, those are some sharp nails. Surely it's possible to know your own hand.
I'm very confident. I just haven't spotted my own hand yet.
It would be admitting failure if I couldn't recognize my own hand.
Well, when it's there, it's there.
- I found my hand. - Which one is it?
15 seconds.
- Do you want to exclude those plates? - No.
I mentioned the right vein. And it matches the ring finger.
- I'm going to guess that one. - Five seconds.
If I just guess all of them at once, and it's in there, then I've won?
No.
Your guess is absolutely correct.
- Thank you. - See you. Bye.
Yes!
May we see the hand? Wow, what a hand.
What's so significant and unique about your veins, Carsten?
Yeah, I'll give you that. It's very ... That's very visible.
Are you going to show the audience?
Then I knew, I just had to look for that.
Yeah, I can see it. It's special.
You stood in front of your hand and said: "When it's there, then it's there."
And you were right, because it was right there.
But you didn't see it. We can't mark down a result.
Can anyone do better than one guess?
Of course someone did, otherwise I wouldn't go first.
Otherwise the rest's gonna suck ass.
"There's my hand, and that one shot Olof Palme."
- We have three left. Who are we watching? - Let's jump to Natasha.
Where's my hand?
That's the good thing about getting my nails done.
- My hand is right there. - Is that your guess?
Did my nails look like that? I recognize my ring and my watch.
So that's your guess?
Is this a trick question?
I'm gonna put the task here.
"Exclude 1 plate = 100 guesses".
It's not over here ... Oh, just excluding one plate.
- I'll exclude that plate. - Okay.
- 100 guesses. - More?
No, you've spent 100 guesses now.
I don't understand.
Oh, I thought I got more, then.
- Can't you put it back then? - No.
Ugh, Mark. I guessed the first time.
- It's that hand. - Is that your guess now?
That's completely correct. You did it in 100 guesses. 101.
100 guesses? What was the point of that?
You were in doubt, so we excluded that plate for you.
I'd like to take this up with management.
Lasse Rimmer?
Right now, we can't say for sure how many guesses I used.
99. No, I've used one guess out of the 100 free guesses I got.
99 guesses left.
"Dear Stormester. My name is Natasha Brock."
"At current time of writing, I am a contestant in your show."
"First of all, thank you for having me here."
"Sadly, I'm writing regarding an unfortunate experience I've had."
"The phrasing 'exclude 1 plate = 100 guesses' -
- is too ambiguous."
"Who is excluding a plate, and which guesses are being discussed?"
"Since the task states that every incorrect guess ... counts -
- then, the lack of any adjective describing -
- which 100 guesses are relevant, is unclear."
"I therefore have 100 guesses available before my real guess counts."
"I hope you understand. Otherwise, let me know. Best regards, Natasha."
That's the first written complaint I've ever made.
Thank you for your dispute.
We take your inquiry seriously and value your participation.
There may be some confusion regarding "Exclude 1 plate = 100 guesses" -
- so let us role-play a little.
I'm the contestant, and you can be Mark.
I'm confused, so I ask Mark:
What does it mean by 'exclude 1 plate = 100 guesses'?
Then I could say: Hello, contestant.
This is Mark.
The assistant on Stormester.
It means, that if you're in doubt, you can ask me to exclude one plate.
Then you can be certain that your hand isn't on that plate.
This will cost you 100 guesses.
I will say, you gave us a magic moment -
- by finding a hand with a ring matching the one you were wearing -
- and a watch just like yours, and then saying: "But the nails don't look right."
Natasha, I'm glad you would like clarification on the rules.
But I will be upholding the decision.
Natasha will be noted as having spent 101 guesses finding her hand.
Don't clap.
- Who's up next, Mark? - We're seeing ...
It's you, Mathias. Or as they call you:
The Danish Paprika Steen.
I'm looking for a chubby hand.
That's it. Don't hang something like that up.
- Was that a guess? - No!
I feel a little like Paprika Steen in "The Celebration".
Bird, fish, bird, fish. I see what's going on.
The red arrow?
Okay ...
Where's it pointing? Oh, over here.
- I'm going to guess that that's my hand. - It is your hand.
Pretty easy with the mirror.
Amazing!
Mathias Helt, well done. Noted down as one guess.
We usually save the most clever solutions for the end.
- Is that the case with Puk E.? - You're up, Puk.
And if there's one thing I've always said about Puk Elgård -
- then it's something I can't say out loud.
Unrelatedly, you're also very fond of hands.
"Your time starts now."
If it's the picture we took in here, then I'll find it quickly.
Hi, Natasha.
Please lay your hand on the table.
Lay your hand on the table.
Can you please lay your hand on the table?
What's this for?
- What? - What are you using it for?
Well, we're done.
What was up with your picture?
I turned it that way, so you could see my tattoo.
It's right there, man.
- You're guessing that one? - Yes. Anything else would be dumb.
Well done.
It would have cost you 101 guesses, if you had thought: "But are the nails the same?"
Puk, I'd like to praise you for that.
A great example of thinking ahead.
And it's no lie that Puk has a thing for hands.
Yeah, you're really fond of hands.
Puk asked us to have one of the plates delivered home.
Yes.
I thought it was pretty, with all those hands.
It wasn't the one with my hand on it, was it?
Where is it now?
Well, right now it's outside in the rain, because it wasn't that pretty in the end.
The trash is gonna pick it up on Wednesday.
That's a whole new show. "Trash from ..."
"From Taskmaster to trash collection in record time".
Three of you complete the task. Getting it right in one.
Puk, Mathias and Carsten land a shared first place worth five points.
The only other one on the board lands a lonely fourth.
For two points. Natasha Brock, congratulations.
Congrats!
Give her a massive hand! Wow.
Now for the last task in my house. What did you save for the end?
It's a double whammy.
I regret saying that. But let's stick to it.
- Oh, well ... Damn it ...! - Was it only a single whammy?
Before we get to the actual task -
- we need to choose a room and a weapon.
- Are we playing a game? - Are we playing Cluedo?
- Not quite. - Is it ludo?
I feel like I'm being subjected to some kind of poor-man's tarot.
"Choose a room and a weapon." Yes!
"And await further instructions."
My god! It's my favorite.
I'm guessing this is a weapon. Frying pan.
- Stapler. Terrible weapon. - Cactus.
If I have to kill a balloon, then it'd be great.
Stiletto, belt. All very classic weapons.
The belt isn't a weapon. That's corporal punishment in the old days.
- But I don't know what the weapon is for. - The stapler and the bathroom.
I pick a frying pan and the lab.
I choose your office and a cactus.
I just feel like whacking someone with a frying pan in the office.
I choose the office and the cactus.
Office, cactus.
That's my choice.
- Do I have to stay here or go there? - No, you can go.
This is a very boring game of Cluedo.
You don't know that yet.
One is armed with a stapler, two with a cactus, two with a frying pan.
- What are the weapons for? - Sometimes you need to make decisions.
They can be fantastic, they can also be absolute crap.
Take a guess which is which. Let's see Puk, Mathias and Carsten.
Welcome.
Shut up, man ...!
Yes!
"Pop exactly 99 red balloons."
- "You may only use your weapon ..." - "To pop the balloons."
"When you're done, you must yell: 'Stop the timer, Mark.'"
Good thing I chose a cactus.
Do the others get the same task just with a frying pan?
- "Your time starts now." - One.
Three.
32, 33.
35!
51, 52.
Nine, two.
- 84. - 82, 83, 84.
- 95. - 95.
99. Stop the timer, Mark!
- That was loud. - No more balloons left.
- Stop the timer, Mark! - Stop the timer, Mark!
Was that it?
I'm selling my balloon-remains, Puk, by the way.
- You can have the whole thing for 2500. - Yes.
Shall we see some times for these three?
Of course. But the task didn't say: pop all the balloons.
The task said: pop exactly 99.
99 balloons must be popped. Only one of the three managed that.
And Mathias?
- You're not one of them. - No!
- You popped 104 balloons. - What?
I counted them all. One, two, three, four ...
- Five. And so on. - Puk Elgård ...
- Don't tell me it wasn't 99. - I will.
You end up killing, and I'm gonna say killing ...
... a number of balloons.
Carsten, on the other hand, completes the task to the letter -
- with a time of four minutes and 45 seconds.
Thank you very much.
It's exact. But it's also fast.
You need some dangerously fast frying pans to beat that time.
Maybe you're thinking: Frying pan won't do very well.
But sometimes things don't go like you first assume.
And other times, they do.
A belt wouldn't have been very good either.
Oh ...!
Wait a minute.
I think that was 14.
Seven.
Eight.
35, I think.
No! Ten.
Stop the timer, Mark.
- Stop the timer, Mark. - Oh, my old back.
If the task was about -
- finding the most original way to use an otherwise unsuitable weapon ...
Thank you.
... then I would commend both of you. Especially you, Natasha.
- What was their times? - Let's start with you, Mathias.
You had to pop 99 balloons -
- and you pop nine ... balloons fewer than you had to.
That's not surprising. I lost track of it all.
Three contestants haven't solved the task, so Natasha's time doesn't matter.
She gets four points if she's popped the right amount of balloons.
Let's watch the end of your task, Natasha, because ...
- Oh, that smells exciting. - I'll give you that.
The room had 111 balloons in total, so there were 12 too many.
The number 12 ... remember that.
Wait a minute. One, two, three ... 13, 14.
That's a weird number to have left.
Just to be safe ...
- Are there 13 balloons left? - No, you can't have that.
12. Would there be 12?
There was 11 more than necessary.
Stop the timer, Mark.
So close.
Along the way, you popped 99 balloons.
Are you leaning on the tarot cards, when you think ...
After Carsten called me a witch last week -
- I have to camouflage my abilities a little.
Five points for Carsten. Zero points to everyone else.
- What does that mean for the standings? - Carsten was ahead before.
Since the others got nothing, Carsten is still ahead.
But as I always say, even when it's not true, like tonight:
Anything can happen.
We're playing the final task right here and now on the stage.
I and the five contestants have gotten up. Mark, who's gonna read the task?
Could it be you, Puk? Go ahead and read.
Let's see what it says.
"Throw an object from your table into your bucket."
"You must choose one object when Mark blows the whistle."
"You must throw your object when Mark blows the whistle again."
"If your bucket falls down, you're disqualified."
"Most objects in the bucket after all objects have been thrown wins."
- Is anyone confused? - Can anyone even see me?
You have five objects to pick from.
You must, simultaneously, at the first whistle, pick one.
And on the next whistle, make that object land in the bucket before you.
Mark.
Ball, baby, flower, ball, baby.
- No! - No!
- That damn child. - Mathias and Natasha ...!
Smashed.
Mathias and Natasha, you're out.
So, Puk, Carsten Eskelund, Tobias Dybvad ...
Take your pick.
Insane!
Pick a new object on Mark's signal.
- Oh ...! - Carsten got one.
Two rounds left. At most.
Pick a thing. Flower, brush, book.
- This is wild. - What's going on?
- She's really good. - Shut up ...!
That's insane.
The sliver of hope, that Carsten Eskelund must cling to, is -
- that Puk Elgård's bucket falls down from its podium.
So try to throw that way.
This one's going far.
- Congratulations. Bravo! - Well played.
Two contestants are on the board with buckets still on the pole.
Four points for Carsten.
Three impressive throws from Puk Elgård means five points.
Who's won tonight's show?
The winner of this horrible piece of ceramics ...
- Carsten Eskelund. - How nice!
Take your prize!
With all respect for Puk Elgård's ceramical abilities ...
Horror movies have started with less threatening artifacts than the artwork -
- that was on the line tonight.
If you just tuned in, you've missed everything.
Come back next week. Thank you and good night.
