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 and welcome to Stormester.
And not just Stormester.
This is the finale. At stake is a golden face -
- and the right to sit in public transport and tell your neighbor:
"It's true. It was me who won Stormester."
But who will win? It will be one of these five: Puk Elgård.
Mathias Helt.
Natasha Brock.
Carsten Eskelund.
Or Tobias Dybvad.
The finish line is in sight. By my side: Mark le Fêvre.
And I...
have just checked the calendar.
It was a week ago since I asked last.
So half sincere, half rhetorical: How's it going, Mark?
I am actually quite glad in my stomach that you asked.
It’s the final, and I would like to take the opportunity to -
- thank you.
Many people think that I am not treated very nicely by you.
They are here amongst us today.
I have gathered a series of highlights -
- throughout our long collaboration, which should very much emphasize -
- how sweet, nice, and warm-hearted, you can also be towards me.
So to start with... Yes yes, just lean back and enjoy it.
Thank you, Mark.
Tonight, there is not a participant prize at stake because this is the final.
What’s being fought for is my visage.
With a characteristic, know-it-all golden smile at the corner of my mouth.
Mark, what crazy ideas are we coming up with here in the final program?
We start with a lovely task, that is about pi.
- Oh god. Are we really doing this? - Yes.
- Hi, Mark. - I will solve it really well.
- You and elementary school... - Why do you say that?
I went to a Rudolf Steiner school.
- What about mathematics? - Poorly.
I can only do girl math.
If there is a dress that I want to buy.
It costs maybe 1500 kroner. [US$200 / £170]
Every time I wear it, I earn back the 1500 kroner.
- Does it make sense? - No.
If I then sell the dress and get half the price -
- that's 50% of the original price that I can deduct -
- for the times I wear it.
So what does the outcome say?
- Buy the dress. - Oh. I suspected that.
"Recite pi."
Oh no.
Repeat? Recite? I don't know what's written.
It may well be that it'll go well next time.
"Recite pi with as many decimals for Mark..."
"Without aids."
- "If Mark finds out you're cheating..." - "...you'll be disqualified."
- "You have to start... - "...in 10 minutes. You have one attempt."
- "The time starts now." - Good old pi.
Pi.
See you.
Well...! Three, and then all those decimals. Holy fuck, are those decimals?
One should have learned mnemonic techniques.
Shit...!
One house, four rooms.
In one of the rooms, there are five shoes -
- in size 92,653.
No, that's not how mnemonic techniques work.
Good old pi needs to be recited.
And I can say hello from Lasse at the age of nine...
who passes on this mnemonic. You can use it in the future.
A simple mnemonic, that solves the circle's squaring -
- for the letters in each word, and you have 12 decimals.
- Snore. - I didn't have many friends.
But I would like to hear pi with as many decimals as possible.
For once, it's actually allowed to cheat.
The condition is that Mark doesn't find out. So where do we start?
Mathias, you said, that this awakened traumas.
Yes, but the whole Stormester has done that for me.
It's just been one long journey down trauma lane.
Let's take a walk down trauma lane.
We'll turn it into a walk. The first number is 3.
For Linie 3. [Danish musical comedy trio]
What do they look like when they're standing there?
They look like ones.
If you take them all three and add it to the one, it becomes a four.
Linie 3, 1, 4.
Then you have to go back to 1 again.
So subtract Linie 3.
They have made five shows.
I can watch it on the VHS tapes at grandma and grandpa's house.
I am nine years old when I see it.
And then I turn around.
There are two candlesticks on the table.
The table is set, and we are supposed to be six people.
But... I can't come. That's why there will only be five.
I walk away. I take my tricycle and ride five kilometers -
- because I need to build a snowman, and it's an eight.
Jan Hellesøe [Danish mentalist and magician] would be so proud of me right now.
Come in.
Hi, Mark.
- I'm ready. - Now listen.
Linie 3, 1...
4, 1, 5...
2...
How many attempts do I have? Only one attempt. Oh, how stupid.
Mathias...!
Too bad.
You spend 10 minutes practicing a mnemonic.
And that leads to us hearing four digits.
I am probably the one in here who knows myself the best.
So I am very impressed.
The saddest thing is that you are not attending your own social event.
It's a lot of decimals, but it's also a cry for help.
A five-year-old child who isn't invited to see Linie 3.
Out riding five kilometers on a tricycle.
I am from Falster [low population island]. That's how it is down there.
It's also easier to remember if it's realistic.
I have dealt with failures and periodontal disease.
Sorry to everyone from Falster.
When you see it again, is there something you have forgotten?
Oh no.
There's something between the three, you hit it, and the one.
Now it stops. Now it stops!
- Should you say the decimal point? - You say the three, so...
It's great that you mark. It's one digit that you remember.
Yes!
- Who are we going to see now? - There is a tense atmosphere over there.
We are going to Natasha. We must hope you haven't forgotten the decimal point.
- Hi, Natasha. - Hi.
- Pi time. - Pi time.
- I'm ready. - Okay.
14 -
- 15 -
- 92, 65 -
- 35, 89, 79 -
- 32, 38, 46 -
- 26, 43...
I can't remember more now.
You've forgotten something.
Did I forget to say "three point" earlier?
- Oh, for heaven's sake. - Oh! Wait a minute...
"Dear Stormester Lasse Rimmer. My name is Natasha Brock."
"I am a participant in your program."
"Thank you for letting me join. I am incredibly happy about it."
"Unfortunately, I am writing regarding an unfortunate experience during a task."
"I am asked to remember the decimals in pi."
"I solve the task reasonably. As I cannot remember more digits -
- it is pointed out by a random man in a suit -
- that I have forgotten to say 'three point'. That makes me a little sad."
"Subsequently, I have investigated the meaning of the word 'decimals'."
"If you search on gotutor. dk -
- it says: 'Decimals are all the digits that come after the decimal point.'"
"I feel..."
"I feel I've solved the task correctly -
- and have been unjustly questioned by a passerby."
"Hope that makes sense. Best regards, Natasha Brock."
That makes a lot of sense.
It's directed at me. And also to you, random man in a suit.
Isn't your name Mikkel?
That's a really good point. It is the correct definition of decimals.
You know quite a few of those. Now I look at you, Mark.
It's just the random man, who is sitting over there.
Does the task state: "Recite the most decimals"?
Or does it state: "Recite pi with the most decimals"?
I can't remember that.
But the random person over here can.
We take complaints seriously. We have investigated the matter.
I'm afraid that we might disappoint you. The task was:
"Recite pi with the most decimal places."
And you will be marked with a zero.
But you are being noted, Natasha. You are on the board.
But it depends on how the others perform -
- random passerby man in a suit.
It looked a little bad. It can look even worse -
- when we now have to see Carsten, Puk, and Tobias.
97, 92, 65, 37, 89, 79.
Would you like to stand or sit?
Well, let me hear.
3.14...
3...
3.1415...
1, 4, 1...
5, 9, 2...
15, 92, 65, 35...
9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 9...
5...
3, 5...
8, 9...
89, 79, 32, 38...
79...
7, 9, 3, 2, 3...
So I say 2, but then I can't do any more. I say 3.
Fuck it all! Then I can't do any more.
8, 4,6. Everything from here is a guess.
- 8? - That was a dumb guess.
Well done.
4 might come later. Bye bye.
46, 26...
43, 32, 38.
That's it.
There's a "but" coming.
I just want to say, it feels sneaky.
May I ask the whole trio: What's your secret?
As for me...
I've read that you have to try to keep your brain sharp.
Not to doze off in your old age.
So I'm actually trying to remember things.
That's the boring answer. Focused effort.
Remember that, young people. Remember things.
Remember, young people: Remembering is cool.
How can you remember so impressively?
I am incredibly forgetful. Remembering is not my strong suit.
I didn't have any technique, other than to repeat and repeat.
It's funny that you are so good with numbers, when you also look like her -
- who did numerology for me with those eyebrows.
Mark le Fêvre, did the three participants just cram and remember in their heads?
Fair is fair. You can cheat, I just can't find out about it.
I discover nothing. But now I have watched the recordings, Puk.
I follow the rules. One can cheat.
- So you did that? - Yes, 100%.
Will you reveal how you cheated?
Gertrud is a sweet girl on the production team.
She called me on a little black airpod.
Then Gertrud said some numbers that I can't remember now.
Why couldn't you remember 400,000 decimals then?
I stood at a crossroads and thought: it would become unbelievable.
I stopped around 20. I should have just taken three more numbers.
I thought, as I drove home completely tired:
How could one have cheated? It would probably have been more fun -
- than a man with receding hair, who mumbles numbers into his own beard.
How many points did Puk cheat to get? Let's just get an overview.
We can start with you, Natasha. 1 point for... nothing.
Then there are 2 points for Mathias for remembering to say the number three.
3 points for Puk, 4 points for Carsten -
- and Dybvad, you grab 5 points.
I don't think I have ever been this impressed.
There's something...
This way we rewarded people with talent for math and cheating.
Do we have a task, that can supplement?
We move from one sexy arena, the mathematics, to another.
We are going to the world of words, full of letters, which actually are...
the numbers of words.
That wasn't much.
- Tight budget. - It's quite bare.
I don't like that there's nothing. There's plastic everywhere.
"Say the most different words..."
- "...while maintaining eye contact..." - "...with camera two."
- "You must not say the same word..." - "...more than once."
"You have 90 seconds."
"Your time... starts...
now."
But, I mean eye contact with the optics.
It's all about saying the most different words.
- Mark, where do we start? - We need to see all five at the same time.
- See them all at once? - Yes. They all make a living by talking.
One could say: Doesn't that make it an incredibly long clip?
Then you've overestimated our participants.
Monkey.
Car.
Loop. Grass. Bottle. Table.
Crispbread and rock candy and four snowdrops, an eel on an inch...
Ball. Air. Sky.
Chestnut. Apples. Vulva.
Which one? It's camera two. Maintain eye contact.
Oh Jesus. I can't do that.
Pumpernickel. Flatbread.
Buns from Stryhns, who usually make liver pâté.
Electric eel. Lemon. Dannebrog [Danish flag].
"Your time starts now."
What is camera two? It says it is camera two.
Clock. Hand. Nail.
Fuck, I can't remember the alphabet. Oh no.
What the fuck?
Sulfites. Macerated grapes.
Yeast. Vineyards.
Time is up.
- Wow, you know so many words. - Yes. I make a living from it.
It would have been annoying, if there was a dictionary.
But there wasn't. Okay.
How do you think this went?
Good.
Mathias, it seems, you're thinking again:
You could just go alphabetically about it. And that covers two words.
Yes, but if you want to go alphabetically -
- then you need to know the alphabet. That's where I lose it a bit.
How many words did the participants manage to say?
I wouldn't call it impressive, but Puk...
Three words.
Carsten, that could turn into seven words:
"What is camera two? It's right there."
Natasha, you reach 11 words.
Mathias... 18 words.
Tobias Dybvad, clear victory: 58 words.
Oh!
Let's continue our journey through expertise.
We have taken numbers, we have taken words.
What now?
Some may think: Well, Stormester has become high-minded.
But stay calm.
Now comes a task that involves cat food and stiff legs.
- Hello. - Hi.
- What strength. - I want to do well.
- There we have it. - Something about goldfish?
It's a possibility.
"Watch out for traps." Oh no.
"Fill most cat food..."
"Fill most cat food in the fishbowl."
"You must not bend..."
"You must not bend the hips or knees throughout the task."
"Most cat food in the fishbowl wins."
"You have 15 minutes. Your time starts now."
- Is that cat food over there? - Bend at the hip?
So I can...
Oh.
I have a feeling that there's a trap underneath.
Right!
This is definitely not cat food.
Phew. This is real cat food.
I think it's cat food.
Where's more of it?
Mathias, impressed that you gag when reading 'cat food' -
- but apparently get peckish when you see it.
I have a very large appetite.
I'm in Lasse Rimmer's sick mind and thinking:
It looks like cat food, but it might not be.
Now he has set traps again.
Could the trap be: This is not cat food.
These are some ancient antique delicacies.
But it was cat food.
In all its foolishness, there's something clever about saying:
"Imagine if it's not cat food." It's silly, but it's sharp.
Listen to what Carsten says.
Remember this, young people.
Remember this. If someone says that something is cat food -
just eat a little.
Because it might be that it's not cat food.
Or as I have heard you say:
Tasting cat food is cool.
I will agree with you, Carsten.
It's clever to taste the cat food to confirm that it is cat food.
That doesn't explain why you kept eating it.
On the other hand, Mathias, you are careful, as you read the task.
- Because there is something to add. - There was a warning.
You were the only one who noticed it. There were traps, so-called 'booby trap's.
And...
Before we get to the booby traps, we need to see Natasha, Tobias, and Puk -
- hunting cat food and looking like someone who has pooped their pants.
- You have 13 minutes and 45 seconds. - Now I have no more cat food.
- Is there more cat food? - There is much more.
I'll just take a look inside the house.
And then what? Do you watch the recording afterwards and...
think "idiot"?
There was cat food.
What's going on here? Why are there traps?
Then he accelerates.
Kitty, kitty, kitty
Hey! No!
How do you do that?
Yeah, for crying out loud.
There's a trap in there too. Nine minutes.
- Oh, there's a booby trap. - I'm not falling for that again.
Yes.
Lookie here.
- Well...! - You won't get me again.
I'm trying to think about, how to relieve thigh cramps.
So I pour that in.
- That was what I found. - Can you see my strategy?
- How did it go? - Cat food ended up in the bowl.
And on the floor.
So...
We just had a little discussion about what it meant -
- to bend the hip.
Because I think it's different...
Complain, complain, complain.
Complain, complain, complain, complain, complain, complain!
Come on, Natasha! Now it’s time to give it everything we’ve got.
Can you show us how?
I dare say -
- that you make a bend in the hip by doing it like this.
I would immediately think it’s a snap in the hip.
You didn’t believe that, Natasha. You didn’t believe your own complaint.
I thought I shouldn’t move sexy, while I was solving the task.
I don’t think the hips were a problem.
I’m 56 and have long stopped bending at the hips.
How did the three participants do?
Very close. Only 32 grams separate them.
Tobias collected 334 grams. Puk collected 357 grams.
And Natasha collects 366 grams.
- Can it be done smarter? - You want to see Carsten?
Okay.
Is there something inside your house?
There’s something hanging up there.
I’m looking into the tool shed.
It’s good that I’m tall. And stupid.
- Can you hear that, Mark? - That’s the sound of success.
No!
The sounds of success and failure are so similar.
How's it going, Mark.
I'm limping along.
There’s a string. What a party.
I worked for six years at Whiskas.
No!
That was the sound of failure again.
I could ask the neighbor. Do they have a cat?
Uh! They sound like cat owners.
- You don’t have a cat too? - No, we have dog food.
- So it must be certified. - It does have allergies.
- We’re heading down to the crossroad. - I’m coming with. Do you have a cat?
- Time’s up. - We did what we could.
You say: The sounds of success and failure are so similar.
But doesn’t this sound like success?
Yes, but I've probably made a fool of myself.
That’s often how it is, when you get complimented in this show.
Failure is just around the corner.
Was it an advantage that you are Peddersen from "Peddersen and Findus" - [Swedish children's book]
- when you have to go out and find cat food?
- Yes. - It's him.
If you knew how many times I think that thought myself.
How much did it come to for Carsten Eskelund?
It actually went well. 662 grams.
- That’s it! - A solid lead.
Now we just need Mathias Helt. He is the only one who discovers -
- that there have already been prior warnings about traps.
- How much time has passed? - Two minutes.
Now I'm just going to hunt for cat food.
Okay. You just need to lay me down.
I'm not bending at the hips!
Notice, how the legs are completely stiff.
- Do you have a plan to get back up again? - I hope you do.
Oh no. He's getting up... wait a minute.
Oh no.
Oh!
How do I get up again? Now!
No!
Wait a minute...
Mark, what do we do? Then I’ll just roll myself in there.
- It's all about momentum. - Why do you need to push?
Come on.
Lift me up!
Get back.
- Then just go in. - You're pulling me in.
Notice, how effortlessly I...
Completely effortlessly...
- It can be done so easily. - Where would a cat hide its food?
They've set a trap for me. You can forget that.
Notice, how once again completely effortlessly...
Oh no! The cat food fell on the floor.
- Two and a half minutes. - I have to go with what I have.
Are you feeling hot?
- What do cats like? - It gives them a stomach ache.
So what do they drink? Sparkling water?
- Done. - You still have 50 seconds.
Then you should just nibble on it. Because it was citrus flavored.
This is actually better than the first one I took.
With all the sweat I've generated, this is really nice.
May I, before anything else happens, say:
The great figure I have is because of the very strict diet.
But also because of what I would call walking.
Before Fitness World comes and patents it -
- it was actually me, who invented it.
Mathias, how long have you been in collaboration with Kinder Pingui?
I have a hard time concentrating, because I need to throw up a hairball.
The rest of us just need to throw up.
I think we've learned that if Tobias had found sparkling water -
- he would have taken one sip and gone on with his dignity intact.
Or peed in the bowl.
It happens that you momentarily bend at the hip.
Now you stop.
No.
But before anyone unfolds a complaint letter, I want to say:
I don't want a discussion -
- about whether Mark pulling on you bends your hips, or you do it yourself.
It's not something that you gain any benefit from.
So I am going to -
- because I've become a bit milder as the season has progressed -
- overlook the brief moment.
Yes.
Who'd have thought it was me who would thaw Lasse Rimmer's ice-cold heart?
There’s just one thing I can’t overlook.
And that is: sparkling water is not cat food.
So what do we do about him making this concoction?
I poured out the sparkling water.
Then I had to dry the cat food again to get an accurate weight.
It lands at 317 grams of cat food.
How are the points distributed here?
That’s 1 point for the peckish Mathias.
2 points for Tobias.
There are 3 points for Puk, 4 for Natasha -
- and 5 points for Carsten Eskelund.
Bravo!
And then came the moment -
- when we will see the last task solved at my place.
We started with tasks that contributed to general education.
- Do we end on a high note? - I can promise you we will.
It’s going to be great. We are working with Chopin, Vivaldi, Mozart -
- and Beethoven.
"Write and record a song..."
"to a piece of classical music from Mark's MP3 player."
"The following words must be included in your song lyrics:"
"Monkey, car, idiot..."
"Crispbread and rock candy."
"What is camera two?"
"There it is."
- "And maintain eye contact. Jesus." - "Best song wins."
- "You have one hour. - "Your time starts now."
"The following words must be included in your song lyrics: Loop, grass, bottle -
- vulva, annuity..." Okay.
I understand. Now it dawned on me, those were my own words.
- So we just need to find the music. - You have an MP3 player.
A song for a piece of classical music.
- It's a rather quiet song. - No, not that one.
C-c-c-camera t-t-two...
That's also good.
- No, not that one. - Isn't that Für Elise?
- Crispbread and rock candy. - Vulva... no.
No, I thought it was a different one.
- Crispbread and crispbread and rock sugar. - Monkey, car, idiot.
No, I choose Mountain King.
Monkey, car, human, idiot, gasoline.
Well, one cannot necessarily foresee -
- when we have completed one task specifically, in which one performs well.
Just to later discover, Tobias Dybvad -
- that it may risk functioning as a hindrance.
I have the opportunity to create a work.
As a Rudolf Steiner student, I have played in the Symphony Orchestra.
Second clarinet.
There I could just fit in, since I never wanted to practice.
There I built up and took down in the same sentence.
We need to go through five brand new works. Who shall we listen to first?
Tobias, you have played in the symphony orchestra, so let’s hear -
- how it sounds when you work with words like 'sulfites' and 'vulva'.
♪ Socks without the foot, vulva without iodine, ♪
♪ Loop, knee and ankle, witch is sitting on top of the head. ♪
♪ Appanage, pumpernickel, flatbread, buns, grass and air. ♪
♪ Milk and bitter and dog. Sausage in my hand. ♪
♪ Chicken meatball from a bird named John. ♪
♪ Liver paté, turkey bacon, and the crazy cameraman. ♪
♪ Cheesy-apples, camera from Stryhns. ♪
♪ Paw, leaf, tree, yeast and eyebrows. ♪
♪ Eyelash, bottle, ball and table ♪
♪ Two vineyards, forehead bang and clock. ♪
♪ Sky, shirt and nail. Pubic bone, its wild. ♪
♪ Chestnut with sulfites, its not a mistake. ♪
♪ Marcerated grapes, which normally makes cat. ♪
You can buy for a penny! [reference to an old children's song]
With an expression, I've borrowed from the youth:
What a banger.
Four to the floor.
Or floor.
Speed dial.
Many of the words are indeed in Mozart's original work.
Before we get too impressed. I spotted a couple of repeats.
One piece. Who shall we hear now?
We're jumping from Dybvad's 58 words to Puk's three.
But fortunately, one was allowed to add extra words.
It provides an insight behind the facade down into Puk's deepest secrets.
♪ When you see me, I am very healthy. And not round. ♪
♪ I only eat crisp bread and healthy stuff, ♪
♪ and run around in a circle, ♪
♪ But when you are not looking, I am standing behind a hedge and eating sweets. ♪
♪ I really want to be pretty... ♪
♪ ...but I also want to live well. ♪
This is my first ever music video.
Written based on a real dilemma from my own life.
The struggle between healthy and snacky.
I can recommend cat food and walking.
From one extreme to another.
We are missing the three, that lay word-wise in between.
Puk went with Für Elise. Mathias, so did you.
You absolutely have the ear and sing like a fucking angel.
Yes, thank you.
♪ We know 28 there shall be ♪ [29 letters in the Danish alphabet, but the song taught to kids ignores 'W']
♪ This we have learned. Its not that hard. ♪

['W' was only added to the Danish alphabet in the 1980s, and the alphabet song taught to kids predates that]
Wow!
Bravo!
Bravo.
I must say this. I am not un-impressed at all.
- I am not. - Do you know who is not un-impressed?
Mr. Beard. ['Hr. Skæg', children's TV character]
All his hard work straight into the toilet.
We're missing two songs. Who gets to go second to last?
We're jumping to Natasha, who will interpret the Ride of the Valkyries -
- so even Phillip Faber would have some kind of reaction. [composer and conductor]

Natasha, Puk has admitted -
- that she based her song lyrics on her personal reality.
And you spent the first years of your life as a Mormon.
So I think, it's just a guess...
You've spent quite a few years walking around thinking:
He is back.
It's Jesus. Now it happens.
It has led to so many awkward one night stands.
That was a really nice song. - Thanks so much.
I shouldn't judge the songs until I've heard them all.
We are going to the last task from the house.
Carsten ends by emphasizing that the Earth is about to go under -
- because of all of you who go on charter trips. Good vibes.
♪ The flight is done. Finally here in Rhodes now. ♪
♪ Now its time to relax, and the camera is ready. ♪
♪ Oh, what is happening? Why is everybody running? ♪

Carsten, you have indeed been good for a number of socially critical jabs.
Now is the last chance to use the platform.
Is there something you would like to share?
It could be fun to make a little observation -
- about our inability to change habits -
- but to meet our inevitable downfall.
And so encouraged, here is the little...
Is it true that HBO has bought the rights -
- so it is season three of "White Lotus"?
I don't know what "White Lotus" is.
But if it's a good thing, then yes.
I'm ready to hand out points.
1 point to Puk Elgård. A lovely song. There were just other good ones.
For example, Natasha's song for 2 points. 3 points to Tobias.
But we are in the realm of stories and beautiful rhymes. Fine singing tops it.
Therefore 4 points to Carsten for this beautiful fable.
- I'm shaking! 5 points. - Yes, man.
Thank you.
That was what was needed.
That was the last task from the house. But nothing is finally decided -
- until the very last task, which takes place here on stage now.
Here is the final chance for our five participants -
- to rake in a few necessary points for themselves.
Who will read the season's last assignment aloud?
I think it should be Puk.
Let's see.
"Say the Stormester´s words in the dialect that is written on your card."
"The Stormester will try to guess your dialect."
"If the Stormester guesses wrong, you're out. The last participant wins."
You must say the words -
- that the Stormester gives you in the dialect you have been assigned.
You may not say anything else but the specific words.
We play until there is only one left.
It may well be, you end up with two identical dialects.
Mark, let's distribute the first dialects to our five participants.
Excellent.
The words I would like to hear pronounced in your assigned dialect are:
Copenhagen Main Station.
Puk Elgård, go ahead.
Copenhagenns Main Statioon.
There's something about the way you say 'station' that pulls me more westward.
- I say West Zealand. - Yes!
Mathias Helt, 'Copenhagen Main Station' are the words. Off you go.
Copenhagen Main Station.
That is... If you can be racist towards South Jutlanders...
- Excuse me! - May I see?
That was South Jutlandic!
Natasha Brock, off you go.
Copenhagen Main Station.
We are in the capital area. That is Greater Copenhagen.
South Zealandic.
One out. Will Carsten survive? Same words. Off you go.
Copenhagen Main Station.
- Are you in West Zealand? - I am in East Jutland.
- Nice. - Thank you.
Good luck with blending in to the city of smiles. [nickname for Aarhus, in East Jutland]
Tobias Dybvad, off you go.
Copenhagen Main Station.
Yes...
It could be anywhere after 1920. That is South Jutland.
- Thank you. - Bravo!
Mark le Fêvre, will you provide new dialects for the participants?
I ask you to say: Mark le Fêvre.
Puk Elgård, go ahead.
Mark... le Fêvre.
- We are in North Zealand. - Yes, of course we are.
She is sharp, that Puk.
Mathias Helt, go ahead.
Maark le Fêevre.
I think it's Copenhagen.
No!
Go ahead.
Maark læ Fævre.
- That is Copenhagen. - Yes.
Two are left. I ask you to deliver new dialects.
- Go ahead, Puk. - Then we'll take another round.
I ask you to say: Today's soup is potato-leek.
- I think that sounded East Jutlandish. - Yes!
- Tobias. - Today's soup is potato-leek.
North Zealand.
Spiced herring.
- Spiced herring. - Funen?
Spice sieve.
Bornholm. Thank you very much!
Landline.
- Landline. - South Zealand.
- Yes, of course. - Well done, Puk Elgård!
- Landline. - It must be North Jutland.
I would like to ask you to pronounce: draw.
- Draw. - East Jutland?
- Draw. - Are we in North Jutland? Okay.
New dialects for the two dialect masters.
I would like to ask you to say the word: overtime.
Overtime.
- West Zealand? - Yes, exactly!
Overtime.
- Is it North Zealand? - Yes.
- Fish pullers. - Fish pullers.
- South Zealand? - Yes indeed.
Fish pullers.
North Jutland. Oh God!
No! Well...
Coma.
Puk Elgård, go ahead.
Kochma.
- Southern Jutland? - Yes.
- Tobias Dybvad. - Kooma.
Bornholm? No!
No!
The problem with this game is, that we are playing against Lasse Rimmer's ego.
- And his ego always wins. - May I suggest a fight to the death?
- Rock, paper, scissors. - I volunteer.
The duel is between Puk and Tobias.
The last round involves -
- that if I guess both dialects or none of them -
- then you share first place with 5 points.
The word -
- I need to hear, is:
Finally.
Go ahead.
Finally, right?
See...
- So I just fell in. - Which trap did Puk fall into?
No other words than those you have received.
- So I lost. That was unfortunate. - We don't know that yet, Puk!
Well...
That was Copenhagenish, but you didn't follow the rules.
Your only chance to get 5 shared points is -
- that I also don't guess Tobias, or that he adds a word.
Tobias Dybvad... off you go.
Finally.
Are we in North Zealand?
Tobias Dybvad!
5 points. Congratulations.
The master of a thousand dialects.
The crucial part here is...
Mark...
The season's last 5 points all went to Tobias Dybvad.
But when we count the whole season together -
- who can take home the golden trophy?
Sorry.
The trophy of trophies goes to...
Carsten Eskelund!
No! No, no, no.
Oh, oh, oh!
Thank you very much!
Superb winner: Carsten Eskelund.
If you just turned on your TV, you've missed the final show.
But do go back and watch it from the beginning. Thanks for tonight.
