Lift me up!
- Come on, Mark! - I had gotten so far.
God, I'm getting the pipe up my ass.
Ouch!
Huba!
Carsten is very grateful.
Tell me, Regitze...
I would like to be a little alone.
Good evening. Welcome to Stormester.
Are you tired of shows -
- where the host presents the whole thing without telling you anything?
You have come home. You’re free from this.
In exchange, you’ll get five participants. Their names are Puk Elgård.
Mathias Helt.
Natasha Brock.
Carsten Eskelund.
And Tobias Dybvad.
Where is Mark le Fêvre? He is here. Hi, Mark.
The safe way to start is just to get checked in.
Is there anything new?
Something silly should often be highlighted, but this time there is nothing.
- Anything new with you? - Nah. Same old same old.
So let's just get started.
One of the participants has brought a prize with them. Who is it?
Tobias Dybvad.
I've noticed -
- that this element works well, if you have something at stake.
And I actually really like my eyebrows.
If I win, I'll go home with my eyebrows intact.
And otherwise...
the winner can remove my eyebrows with that trimmer.
Please let me win.
Once someone has won and shaved your eyebrows off -
- can they then draw some new ones on you afterwards?
For the next recording you are allowed to draw some on.
Great. Thanks.
I'm a compulsive gambler and can't bet money.
But I still like a little excitement.
That brings us to the first task of the evening.
I'd like to give a little warning.
If you're very superstitious, or just you, Natasha -
- the next thing we are going to see can seem very offensive.
- Hi. - Is anyone home?
- Seven tasks? - Yep. And number 1 is at the end.
Wow, you've set up something nice.
Oh, umbrellas...!
A hammer and a mirror. Oh, under a ladder?
No! One shouldn't open umbrellas just like that.
- How do you feel about superstitions? - I couldn't care less.
If it's something about bad luck... I believe way too much in that.
I'll smash that mirror before I read the task.
I laid out tarot cards this morning.
I'm very curious about what it says.
"Complete the fortune trail." Love it!
- "Fastest wins." - Your time starts now."
How many of you would consider yourselves superstitious?
I'm surprised that I'm the only one.
Natasha is the only one who dares to admit -
- that she struggles a bit with some superstitions.
But is there anything else we should know, Mark?
I just think we should jump into it and cross our fingers.
Here come Mathias Helt and Puk Elgård.
Dream team.
- It's my lucky day today. - "Let the cat cross your path..."
"or carry it through the rest of the task." You're coming with me.
"Break the mirror or find a four-leaf clover."
"Walk under the ladder, or put it back in the shed."
Yolo.
"Open an umbrella inside the house..." - "...or close all the umbrellas."
Hello!
"Spill all the salt on the table, or throw the salt shaker in the bin."
“Get heads five times in a row."
Easy enough.
- Heads. - Four more.
- Four more? - Five times in a row.
Of course.
You can't do that. There must be an easier way.
Tails.
- Heads. - Tails.
- Heads. - ♪ Jesus loves me. ♪
- Tails. - Sorry.
- What am I overlooking? - Tails.
- Heads. - Tails. Tails.
- Sun hat. - Can I make it heavier?
Heads. Heads.
Heads. Two more, Mathias. Heads!
No!
If one side becomes heavier, it will always land there.
I want to try that.
Heads is up.
- Tails. - For heaven's sake, a crappy game.
Tails. Tails.
- What about water? - What's with water, Puk?
Boom. Heads.
Heads. Heads.
That's multiple heads. No, I simply can't deal with that.
- Heads. - Boom.
Heads.
Heads. Heads.
One more, Mathias. You can definitely do that.
Heads!
Heads! Newton, thank you.
Welcome to a brand new season of Stormester -
- where it is the luckiest who wins the challenges.
I don’t think mine was luck. I built a base on the coin.
Then it fell the right way. It wasn't luck.
- It was physics. - Yes, it was Newton.
You succeeded. You fiddled a bit with the coin, and it pays off.
It's all about getting through the course as fast as possible.
The chance of flipping heads five times in a row is about 3%.
You chose to disregard those odds. Creating your own opportunities.
After changing your strategy, you manage to do it in 19 minutes and 24 seconds.
- That's quick. - Well done.
Mathias, you choose to flip the coin over and over -
- and again.
And then 106 more times.
But you're actually faster. It takes 12 minutes and 4 seconds.
Wow, that's amazing, Mathias Helt!
Fantastic.
I just think there is an obvious follow-up question.
How is your life after the terrible accident you went through?
I have stopped being superstitious.
Now we are going to cook some food. It was nice talking to you.
I know it’s missing. It's just a small hint.
"'The Evening Show’, here I come!"
That was quite a job application. Who are we going to experience now?
We are going to Tobias Dybvad -
- who doesn't believe a single bit in superstition.
On the other hand, you're a raging gambler, so a lovely combination.
"Get heads five times in a row."
Five times in a row?
Tails.
- Heads. Heads. - Two of them.
- Heads. - Tails.
No, for heaven's sake! I was so good at all the other things.
Do I really have to do this? That was three.
- Huba! - Four.
Tails.
I don't want to solve the task.
- It's not going to be a great time. - Yes, but nobody has solved it like that.
"He got no points, but he kept his dignity."
When I am halfway through a football match, and the team is down 0-15 -
- I withdraw and maintain my dignity.
It's also great to end with lots of dignity and no eyebrows.
I define my own dignity.
Is that too much for a gambling addict? Did it get triggered again?
It...
It could just as well be a small ball on a roulette.
What attracted me was not to play poker for four hours.
It was to make a crazy bet. Then you either lose or win.
In three months, I will have been gambling-free for five years.
I don’t have trouble maintaining it.
I am getting a piercing and removing my eyebrows. It's my nicotine patch.
100 kroner [£11 / US$14] on you not reaching five years.
I respect if someone does not want to finish the task.
But I have to reward it with zero points.
Is there an easier way to solve the task?
There is a much smarter solution.
Carsten Eskelund.
It's always Carsten.
"Smash the mirror or find a four-leaf clover."
You have placed a four-leaf clover somewhere. I'm not an idiot.
You have made it easier for me.
Rubber ducks. It's more water lilies, right?
There must be a four-leaf clover, Mark.
Oh, Mark! And a medal or something.
How beautiful it is. You could definitely make use of that.
"Go under the ladder, or put it away in the shed."
"Open an umbrella inside the house, or close all the umbrellas."
"Get heads five times in a row."
I have won that lucky coin.
There's heads on both sides! Oh, that's why.
One, two, three...
Okay, okay.
- Congratulations on that. - Thanks. Bye!
- Carsten, for heaven's sake! - Yes, he is good.
- Bravo! - Can you feel it?
The lucky coin has heads on both sides.
It seems incredibly lucky, that the challenge "Find a four-leaf clover" -
- is the one he chooses to go for at the intersection.
And finds... the only coin?
No, no.
No, these lovely lucky coins with heads on both sides -
- were hidden in various places.
If you made the unlucky choice, you would quickly move on.
But if you made the lucky choice, there was really a good chance that -
- you could find this lovely lucky coin.
- Have I embarrassed myself after all? - No, not at all.
On the contrary, I want to ask you right now:
How satisfied do you feel having completed the course -
- without flipping heads or tails for up to 20 minutes?
Not only am I relatively satisfied,
I have also, as if by magic, become incredibly superstitious.
Welcome.
Witches!
Begone!
Four, five, six, Natasha is a witch.
Four, three, two, Carsten is one too.
We must see Natasha. We have saved her for last.
Let's see if those lazy eyes can spot a lucky coin.
Oh no.
I choose to carry Knud. Doesn't it look nice?
"Smash the mirror or find a four-leaf clover."
I can't seem to find a four-leaf clover.
Did your tarot cards say anything?
They said the world is bigger than one thinks -
- so one should go out of their "garden."
Mark, a four-leaf clover!
Woohoo! ["Lucky coin"]
Time is ticking, Mark. Run!
["Lucky coin"]
No, now they're blowing away!
["Lucky coin"]
- That bucket? - Yes.
["Lucky coin"]
One, two, three, go.
"Flip heads five times in a row."
Isn't there a coin somewhere?
I'm sweating so much.
Heads.
Two.
Three.
Four!
Okay...
Ready?
It worked! Oh...!
It happened.
Knud.
No, don't say that I could have done this.
What's on the other side? Also heads.
["Lucky coin"]
Has he been around your neck this whole time?
I'm done. Screw tarot cards!
Your tarot cards, which you laid out that same morning, told you:
"Go out into the world and look around."
Why don't you listen to the tarot cards, witch?
If I had done that -
- then it would have been just as boring as the others' clips.
- Okay. - Good one!
- Can we get a time on Natasha? - No!
There's been a little editing. If we put it all together -
- you manage it in 20 minutes and 4 seconds.
That's not bad.
We haven't noted Tobias for a time.
That means there are four times to hand out points for.
2 points to Natasha, 3 points to Puk.
Mathias gets 4 points, and Carsten takes the lead with 5 points.
I can't say where in the body luck resides.
But it is a place under the throat.
Do you have a task, that tickles the little brain cells?
We can take one that once and for all settles -
- who, among the participants, is the smartest.
Hello, Mark.
This is going to be my task.
- Not so happy with the board? - No.
- Did you just burp? - Yes.
Do I need to pretend that I am smart?
May I offer... whatever this is?
- What do you think it is? - Maybe a fig.
- What is it? - A brain.
- Is it a kumquat? - No.
- Is it a date? - No.
I'll read the task. With my brain.
- Have you gotten closer? - It is a...
I actually don't know.
"Prove you are the smartest of the participants in Stormester." No...!
"You have five squared to the square root of 25 minutes."
"You have five in the second reciprocal..."
I don't even know what those things mean.
Five to the power of two is 20.
- 20 minutes. - Five to the power of two is 10.
25 minus five minutes. That means 20 minutes.
"The smartest participant wins. Your time starts now."
This is the performance society in an envelope. It drives you crazy.
You seem very stable otherwise.
Who benefits from this? I'm just asking.
20 minutes to prove that you are the smartest.
It's not about being the smartest. That's Carsten.
But it’s true.
He's also the most annoying. It was like that in elementary school too.
We know that fate. Some of us.
I'm interested in evidence. Provide proof of how smart you are.
You have 20 minutes for that. So the question just is:
Who has most skillfully proven to be the smartest of the participants?
Mark, it's you who tell us: Who shall we see be smart first?
We'll start with you, Natasha -
- who actually is a qualified teacher.
"Impressive."
I’ve had a job and taught children. Our shared future.
I got a nine in Physics in elementary school - [equivalent of a C grade]
because I could demonstrate the size of the planets.
How many planets will you show?
I will show the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon.
Those are good planets.
- Are the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth planets? - Aren't they?
Okay, this is the Sun.
In relation to the Sun, this is the Earth.
Otherwise, it's the Moon.
This is the Moon revolving around the Earth. It's a year.
I have always just been called sweet, Mark.
You are the sweetest witch I know.
Three planets: the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon.
One of the three is a planet. What's your guess?
Only one?
- I was right about the year. - No, but I think...
It doesn't take a year for the Moon to come...
Then we would have six months where we can see the Moon,
and six months when we can't.
Then we would say: "We will see the Moon again in six months."
- Do you know what that is? - It's mansplaining.
It was super uncomfortable, actually.
And it wasn't actually Physics that I was teaching.
I can't remember what it was.
But it wasn't Physics.
I would contact TV 2's management now -
- and say: "That bald guy from Stormester..."
- No... - That's right.
I thought it was entertaining. Here is what I want to say to you.
- You also said some true things. - But you cut those out?
- Natasha... - Is sweet.
For a witch, that is.
Let's close that there. Who should we experience now?
We can take a clip where we see Mathias trying to appear smart.
- Ask me something. - The capital of...
Ask me something else. I am, at least, smarter than Tobias Dybvad.
Puk knows everything. She has talked to everyone.
Should I call Carsten? Do the elimination method.
- It's Carsten. - How's it going?
- I was just about to take a nap. - Then I'll make it quick.
What number do I live in? What is my house number?
- No. 42. - Bye bye.
One. I knew that more than Carsten did.
- What number do you live at? - That's none of your business.
Welcome to the voicemail.
- Call Puk Elgård. - You have reached Puk.
She is probably out in the garden. She always is.
You have reached Tobias. Leave a message.
This is Mathias Helt. Did you just wake up?
Now I'm trying to hang up.
Hi, Tobias. Mark, how do you hang up?
- I don't know how to do it. - Have you tapped the screen?
Now I am the dumbest participant. That's the proof. There it was.
Time's up. I hope that was enough.
Where should I write my own resignation?
I felt that way too.
"Prove you are the smartest of the participants."
Which task are you working on solving?
"Be the sweetest of all the participants."
When Mark asks what house number you live in... Don't you know it yourself?
I am definitely entertained. Is there more?
We need to go to both Carsten and Tobias.
"Your time starts now."
The wisest is probably the one who does not attempt to prove it.
Ask me some questions.
- What is the capital of Turkey? - Istanbul. Or Marrakech.
It would be wisest -
- not to try to convince anyone that I am the wisest.
I can stand like this. Ask me a question about culture.
- Who wrote "A Doll's House"? - Ibsen.
One can get involved in something, that shows the opposite.
The capital of Azerbaijan?
I think it’s Ibsen again.
I think it's a stupid task for me.
- Who invented basketball? - It is credited to James Naismith.
Had I not answered wrongly to all the others, everyone would have been impressed.
It’s bold, Tobias.
Wouldn't the wisest thing be to not participate in the game?
- That face doesn’t help. - I am who I am.
- Yes, you are, dear. - Dignity.
Dignity.
Carsten, you answered a series of trivia questions.
At least one of them impresses me.
The first official ruleset is considered to have been written by James Naismith.
Now you're mansplaining again.
I just said it, Lasse.
Now I'm doing it too.
I'm very confused right now.
And stupid. I feel confused and stupid. No dignity!
Hear, hear!
Two very different types of evidence.
And then you've hidden Puk E.
That's absolutely correct. There are two things one should know:
Puk, you've talked to pretty much everyone in the world.
In high school, my Danish teacher asked me to stand up so she could say:
"You're a fool, Mark."
I'm wise about other people. Mark, is there something bothering you?
How do you feel about other people's judgmental thoughts?
Do you struggle with someone writing nasty things about you?
You don't really know how to take it in?
- I've gotten better at it. - How?
- One simply gets used to it. - One toughens up?
Yes, a little. Or just realizes: oh, okay.
I sense that your Danish teacher -
- who said: "How stupid you are", is reflected in the comments.
You get the same feelings, as when Kirsten pointed at you -
- and someone in the comments says: "That Mark is an idiot."
There you feel that feeling you had back then. And it’s completely natural.
We can solve this. Tell Kirsten what you would have liked to say back then.
Kirsten, it’s not my problem that you’re having a hard time at home.
That was where the core feeling resided. You need to work on that basic feeling.
You're welcome. That'll be 1000 kroner [£112 / US$137]
- Work on it, friend. - I'll keep working.
It's not just that you display phenomenal emotional intelligence here.
You do it in a way that immediately afterwards -
- you have released something important deep down inside...
- Say it will be 1000 kroner? - Yes.
The wild thing about it is that he still wants to hug you and say thank you.
I think that is... It’s close to being smart.
That’s skillfully manipulative.
Let’s distribute some points.
Mathias, you are dumber than a phone. 1 point.
- I am smarter than you! - Yes, you are.
That felt nice, Natasha. 2 points to Tobias Dybvad.
Oh my god.
3 points for Natasha. You say quite a few incorrect things.
I got more out of that than I got from Tobias and Mathias' solutions.
Oh, I'm about to cry.
I'll put this on my CV.
At the top are Puk and Carsten. Puk gets 5 points, Carsten gets 4.
Shouldn't we park all talk about vanity and performance culture -
- and find a more pleasant task?
I think I'm speaking for everyone.
We're probably at a place right now where a hug would be nice.
Yes.
Oh yes.
Well, why not?
- Hi. - You're holding a letter.
You have a nice stance. You probably hear that often.
- Should we stand and enjoy it a bit? - You're not quite finished.
Oh, Mark...!
- "Give Mark the second longest hug." - This is not a hug.
"If you predict the longest and shortest hug..."
- "...you get a bonus point." - "Your time starts with the hug."
Who has the most patience to stand?
Not Dybvad. I simply don't believe he can stay focused for that long.
It's about giving a long hug, but not the longest hug.
And you can predict for extra points.
There are 5 points for the one that gives the second longest.
You can get up to 2 bonus points if you're a little predictive.
There wasn't much faith in Tobias.
That Tobias is a bit fidgety, you're saying, Puk?
That's wise of you to say.
"Your time starts when the hug starts."
Eskelund has given the longest, and Natasha has given the shortest.
Who gave the shortest?
- Natasha Brock. - Okay.
This woman!
In what world does this become the second longest hug?
I don't know what kind of strategy that was.
17 seconds was all he could take.
I don't know how I could believe someone hugged you for a shorter time.
I hugged for as long as it takes the ball to land on the roulette wheel.
Which is also a year.
Who do we have next?
A small gathering of three huggers. Here come Mathias, Puk, and Natasha.
I want to guess who gives the shortest hug. Carsten.
- Are you ready? - Are you an over- or under-hugger?
Longest hug: my nemesis, Puk Elgård.
She loves that hug.
Oh, it's lovely.
Oh, cozy. Lay down, Mark.
Here Dybvad has given up.
- Who gives the shortest? - Tobias.
Starting the hug now.
- Who does the longest? - Puk is a hugger.
Carsten can just turn off his brain.
- It's very warm here now. - The sun is shining bright.
What did you do over the weekend?
Looked at glasses in Lyngbycenteret. [shopping center in Copenhagen]
If you hug for longer than two minutes -
- it helps quite a lot with your happiness.
We have hugged for 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
- Did you fall in love with a frame? - A brown Gucci.
- What does the time say? - 6 minutes.
Isn't it a good medium-length hug?
Should it be the second longest? - It says on the task.
I'm a bit sore in my neck.
Hug it out.
- What time is it now? - 8 minutes and... 7 seconds.
That's it. Time to get up again.
No!
Well, Mark...
Oh, Mark. Are you going to propose to me now?
Oh my god, Mark!
That's it. "Give Mark the second longest hug."
Now you are at 10 minutes.
- 13 minutes and 29 seconds. - Pretend you are sleeping.
So.
Now look here, how you’re asleep.
That was a good hug.
So many things, you learned and felt.
Bye.
Now it's almost as if I'm still there.
I am so close, Mathias Helt, to exceptionally -
- giving you bonus points for contributing to normalizing -
that men can also be little spoons.
I say this from personal experience.
It's divine if you have a partner of appropriate height.
Having a shorter partner feels like sleeping with a school backpack on.
It was because they had their school bag on, Lasse. [Lasse is married to a much younger woman]
Let's smash him down!
Mark, we need to keep track of the lovely hugs. How long were they?
The shortest of the hugs was Natasha. 8 minutes and 25 seconds.
Puk, you hit a hug of exactly 10 minutes.
And finally...
the big spoon over there.
15 minutes and 38 seconds.
So far, Puk has given the second longest hug.
That makes Carsten a kind of hug kingmaker here.
Fate is in your own hands, Carsten Eskelund.
Is it?
What did the cards say?
I bet on the shortest hug: Tobias Dybvad.
Longest hug: Natasha Brock.
But someone has been standing for a long time.
For some of the other participants, it's... Lonely is a big word.
I could be one of them myself.
I see so few people.
Spend a lot of time in my conservatory.
Come here, for heaven's sake, Mark.
Is everything okay at home?
I have nothing to complain about.
I have reached the age -
- where I think there is an endless stream of repetitions -
- and a hint of existential emptiness.
If you are not in your late 40s, you cannot nod in recognition to this.
You think: "There is plenty to keep one busy."
"A baker has made a sourdough bun. That gives my life plenty of meaning."
But when you are 47, you think: I have eaten sourdough buns.
Finding excitement in those kinds of baked goods becomes harder -
- because you have to fill meaning into everything yourself, Mark.
I find this increasingly harder.
I am struck by a bit of indifference.
I have to write stand-up about this.
But no-one wants to pay to listen to this.
It is completely meaningless.
People have seen this. Celebrities who dance and do not dance.
Have you seen that show? Celebrities who don’t dance.
Do you know what I have agreed to on TV Denmark?
"Mold or flour."
Six somewhat known Danes look at the bottom of a Schulstad bun -
- and try to determine if the stain is mold or flour.
So this is just what I need.
I am almost at the point where I don't care about winning.
Can someone from the team google the world's longest hug?
- 40 hours, Carsten. - That's still quite a bit.
God. I don't want to overthink things anymore, Mark.
I've overthought so much. "What if..."
Now I'm thinking: screw it. That's the good thing about approaching 50.
You start to not care if you waste an entire day hugging.
It's a nice day. You don't need anything more. You might get a sandwich.
Which sandwich would you prefer?
A big one.
- Tuna? - Yes, that sounds good to me.
That’s it.
Okay.
I don't know how long it took, but it certainly felt longer.
Carsten is a little frustrated that the hug wasn't long enough.
I think it was long enough.
Especially since I was informed that Carsten never washes his beard.
But also because it lasted 34 minutes and 41 seconds.
But it was a lovely hug. I enjoyed it tremendously.
It doesn't smell like tuna sandwich.
How does it remain outside the shower when you're standing inside?
I do this too. I just had a bit of dry skin.
- Do you have it too? - Moisture is very important...
May I ask? Mark...
- Two seconds. - There are two men sitting and talking.
You have to apply oil. But no-one wants to.
- There's also oil in cans of tuna in oil. - I don't know what I've started.
- You should apply Drogens Baldrian. - Yuck.
We are ready.
Mathias, since he passed you with a longer hug -
- you delivered the second-longest hug.
Thank you.
But all participants had the chance to score zero, 1, or 2 points -
- by guessing who delivered the shortest and the longest hug.
Carsten, Natasha, and Puk guessed that Tobias gave the shortest hug.
Puk and Tobias guessed that Carsten gave the longest.
That means 1 point for Natasha, Carsten, and Tobias -
- 2 points for Puk, and 5 points for Mathias Helt.
2 points for guessing correctly. You're a people reader.
But are you also a sun protection enthusiast?
Because we are lacking a task outside the house.
Sunscreen is important when you're bald like you.
It's important. When you need to get a message out -
- one thing is very effective. A little thing I call sex appeal.
Did we get everything?
Wow...!
- You rolled out the red carpet. - Are we going to catwalk?
- Sunscreen. - Red carpet.
It was actually yellow. But then we forgot this. That's how it goes.
- "Spray sunscreen the farthest." - "You must spray the sunscreen..."
"from the pedestal down the red carpet."
"You must not move the pedestal..."
- "...or the red carpet." - "Farthest sunscreen spray..."
"on the red carpet wins. You have one attempt."
"Your time starts now."
Why does the time start... now?
One attempt.
I'm thinking tactics.
That wasn't a spray.
If I had done it like this, would it count then?
Nothing says I have to spray with that.
I'm going to the shed.
There is no time limit on this task.
- You only have one attempt. - Yes, infinite time.
So damn it, you can make a good plan.
But it is also the first attempt that counts.
I feel like calling someone who knows something about physics.
I think it should be pressed down quickly.
You shouldn't give it a proper smack, right?
Do it hard?
Then you can stand on the pedestal.
A bit sketchy, huh?
Did you dream of that? Do you think it's better than Eskelund?
Much better. Much, much better.
Uh...!
- Carsten. - No...!
No! I haven't even called.
Imagine being on a pedestal and being such a big idiot.
No!
What is that old saying? Two souls, one failure.
I would like to have the numbers confirmed, before I make a statement.
Was it worse than Tobias?
What is impressive about Tobias' solution is:
This is your best performance of the night.
Tobias Dybvad: 2.87 meters.
You were a bit in doubt, Carsten, whether it was... 19 cm.
Like that. Isn't it beautiful?
- Who now? - Puk and Natasha.
- Do you have a plan? - I have a really great plan.
- I'll just take out a selection. - If I fill these...
This one could be sprayed with.
It doesn't say that the sunscreen must not be diluted.
Now, I think this is it.
- What’s happening? - Not a damn thing.
- Nothing is happening. - Do you think it can spray far?
- Now it can't anymore. - Are you ready?
I haven't turned it off yet. Oh!
- That was it. - Bye, Mark.
They are almost identical solutions. What was the thought behind it?
Spray far, right?
Yeah.
Mark, let's get some lengths on Puk and Natasha.
Puk sprays the farthest, which is 7 meters.
Natasha, you haven't tuned the sprayer. 4 meters.
Now we need to see Mathias.
But also me. So here is two men, one spray.
I would love to get all the sunscreen into a giant balloon.
Oh, wow.
That's a bit yummy.
I need a piece of garden hose.
Oh no!
Towards the red carpet!
No...! Mark, let it stay on.
- Let it stay on. - Just like that.
So it won't go anywhere.
Mark?
Put the tape on again. Please!
Uh!
- Mark? - No!
Nice.
Fantastic!
It's an original solution.
How can it be, Mathias Helt -
- that it surprises you twice -
- that when you hold a balloon with tape that wraps around the balloon -
- the tape comes loose when the balloon gets bigger?
Oh no...
He doesn't know how to hang up, so you can't expect that.
Thank you, Natasha. Thank you for having my back.
I haven't understood the plan at all.
The plan was: Blow up the balloon so much -
- that it explodes with sunscreen everywhere.
May I speak with the physicist here? Can a human generate that pressure?
- Answer. - Yes.
That's my assessment. But it takes a year.
How far does the sunscreen go when the balloon explodes?
Just 2 meters and 38 centimeters.
That means Carsten gets 1 point. Mathias gets 2, Tobias gets 3.
Natasha 4 points, and Puk Elgård 5 points.
But...
Nothing is decided until the final task, which will take place right here in a moment.
Right away!
No, hold on.
There's a little prologue this time.
Before we can conduct the final task, something must be brought into play.
That is correct.
- What could it be? - It might not be pleasant.
- Is it a human-mouse trap? - What on earth is this?
Oops.
"Bring an object for the studio recordings..."
"that the fewest of the other participants know what it is."
"If no-one knows, what your object is..."
"you get zero points."
I need to find something, Only one person knows what it is.
"Your time starts now."
So it shouldn't be an object that no-one knows what it is.
I need to hit one of the participants' areas of expertise.
- I'm going to think. - I'm leaving now.
- I'm finding something, Mark. - We're looking forward to it.
At my place, the five participants were tasked with bringing an object.
Should we help them figure out what they're supposed to be used for?
We could easily do that by having you read this out loud, Natasha.
"Guess what the other participants' items are."
"Each correct guess gives 1 point."
Yes. Was that it?
If one of the other four guesses what item you brought -
- then you get 3 points. If two guess it, you get 2 points.
If three guess what it is, you get 1 point.
But if everyone guesses it, then it's a big zero.
If no-one knows what it is, then it's also zero points.
So it has to be something that others can guess what it is, but not everyone.
Points will be added to the total. Tobias' eyebrows are at stake.
We'll start with Puk's item.
So when time is up, turn your boards.
What item has Puk Elgård brought?
I've guessed a bra extender.
- What does Natasha say? - Bra extender.
I lack knowledge about bras, but I do have interest in the topic.
"Bra straps."
- And Tobias Dybvad has written...? - Broken finger.
I'm detecting a strategy, Tobias.
Puk Elgård, what did you bring?
- A bra extender. - I approve of bra straps.
We need to move on. Mathias Helt has brought this item.
I think it was a very difficult task -
- because you are all enormously clever.
So I went for something that at least one person doesn’t know what it is.
- At least one who doesn't know, so... - Is it dignity?
And what is that?
- It may please rotate. - It could take a day for that.
- Something from Matas. [Danish health and beauty retail chain] - It's unfortunate to be last...
And the time is up.
So what you have written, you need to present. You have to show your boards now.
For heaven's sake...!
- Puk, what did you manage to write? - [Skin] cream can with lid.
I wrote: "Balsam from Matas (the striped)."
I didn't manage to see, that it said 'balsam' -
- so I wrote: "Something from Matas."
I just managed to delete 'lube' and change it to 'balsam' -
- when I saw what was on the bottle.
- Mathias Helt, what are we looking at? - Balsam.
How can bring with you a product that states what it is?
And then think there is one, who has no idea at all?
The remarkable thing is -
- that it says on Mathias' item, what it is.
And two out of four answered correctly.
Yes, but that is because it turns so slowly.
I can see that.
2 points to Mathias, because two out of four guessed correctly.
1 additional point to Natasha and Tobias for writing 'balsam'.
Natasha brought the third item.
I am excited to see, how few know what this is.
Giant egg slicer. Mini-plate holder.
And time is up. Show your boards.
Puk?
It's for when you want to keep track of your tea spoons.
What did Mathias answer?
I didn’t know what it was. So I wrote my phone number down.
If anyone thinks I’m lovely... Call me.
- Carsten? - My guess is a toast holder.
It could indeed look like that. Tobias? Okay, that's not necessary.
- You have chosen... - I have chosen my dignity.
Natasha Brock, what have you brought?
It is for making crispy pork in an air fryer.
Okay...!
We have two things left. Carsten Eskelund has brought something.
I note that even Carsten Eskelund looks confused.
And time is up.
- Starting from the beginning. Puk? - It's a tablecloth holder.
- And has Mathias responded? - A disgusting puzzle.
- Natasha's guess is? - Coins from when Carsten was young.
- Tobias, what have you answered? - Dried apple cores.
- Carsten, what have you brought? - I haven't brought any of those things.
I have now had to realize -
- that what I thought was so clever, wasn't so clever.
I googled all my fellow participants to find out -
- if there was anything about them, that not everyone might know.
The first thing I read about Puk Elgård is -
- that you have struggled with moths for a long period.
- Ah, is it cedar wood? [cedar oil repels moths] - Of course it's cedar wood.
I haven't had issues with moths. They've been in my furniture. It's not...
No, no.
Tobias Dybvad has brought the fifth and final bizarre item.
And time is up.
- Puk Elgård has answered? - A leather tanner.
- Mathias has answered? - Saber.
I wrote: "Bolo. Machete. (For the garden)."
- Carsten Eskelund? - An old-fashioned butter knife.
- Tobias, what have you brought? - Natasha Brock's mother's bolo. [Filipino knife]
Insane!
I was there when it was bought. And it's for the garden.
- You devil! - That’s clever.
Since this scored 3 points for Tobias Dybvad -
- and 1 point for Natasha, who is tonight's winner?
- I think it's really exciting. - It's also your eyebrows.
The winner is Puk Elgård!
Is it nice?
If you've just turned on your TV, you've missed it all.
But we'll be back next week. Thanks for tonight.
