Yes, please.
A really, really dumb task.
– Great pleasure, Santa. – That was good.
What the hell...?
What did Jesus do?
– Merry Christmas. – Merry fucking Christmas.
Welcome to Stormester in a special holiday edition.
We celebrate the feast of the hearts in classic Stormester fashion –
– with Christmas task nuts to be cracked by a well-known cast of five.
I know you know them, I think you love them –
– and I hope you will welcome them with reverence and applause.
Their names are: Martin Johannes Larsen.
Eva Jin.
Sebastian Klein.
Julie Rudbæk.
And on behalf of a sick Simon Jul: Simon Talbot.
No Santa Claus without his little Elf.
He's sitting here. Mark Le Fêvre.
It's funny that I get to mention this around this lovely holiday:
Le Fêvre is French and means 'Porridge Bowl Licker'.
No...
And once again, after what we might call a long spell of illness...
... Simon Jul is replaced by Simon Talbot. You're a deputy.
Yes. For people watching this show –
– Simon Jul must have been ill for, what, three months?
– It's really been two days. – Yes, we might be breaking some illusions.
The cat's out of the bag. We've been using tricks and deception.
We first recorded seven episodes, and then the Christmas special straight afterwards.
Sorry, kids. Santa doesn't exist either.
Should we ruin it all?
Television is a lie, Santa is a lie, everything is a lie!
So while Simon Jul is not here, I will try to ensure good spirits.
How nice.
If anyone brought the Christmas spirit, it's you, Mark Le Fêvre.
On your chairs there are Christmas socks where I have left presents.
Mark...!
It's always nice to give –
– but I'm looking forward to seeing what you've brought for me.
What did you say? For you?
– You don't have anything? – What the fuck?
– No...! – It's pasta jewelry!
– It's pasta. – Is there ketchup down there?
Sebastian, now is the time to use your experience from kids' TV. Best lie.
You can make a lot of lovely things with pasta.
Have you got one like this? Look what I've got.
Why did I get this?
Thank you very much for the gifts.
You're welcome.
Oh my god.
We're back in business.
– Well then... – Goddamn.
Damn. Four of you have received edible Christmas presents –
– but there is also a particularly inviting and edible trophy –
– made from the purest striped boiled candy. This pretty face!
– Is it really candy? – They usually do it for real.
– It doesn't look like candy. – I think it looks lovely.
Should we just get started with the first task?
You see, this is a special Christmas edition of Stormester.
So how do we get started with such a Christmas version?
We start with the first task.
This was significantly less disgusting when we wrote it.
I had that in my mouth the whole time.
So let's get started.
Merry Christmas.
No...!
Risalamande. [Danish Christmas dessert served with one whole almond. Whoever finds the almond wins a prize.]
– I can eat two bowls. – Well...
– Can I open this? – Yes.
"Find the almond."
– "Fastest wins." – "Time starts now."
Yes, please.
Well, let's dig in.
It's very simple. Fastest found almond wins, a classic Christmas game.
– There are no more rules than that. – Yes, it's very straightforward.
We even helped our participants a little –
– so even the less sharp contestant should have...
Sorry, I'm looking at you, Martin.
How strange that you were looking directly into my eyes.
It just says: "Even the less sharp contestant will have a chance."
So let's see Martin. But also Julie.
It... is... [Christmas song]
It is DR's license fee. [Pun]
Of course it's not in the big one.
– It might not even be in this. – Nope.
The longest spoon I have ever seen. What the hell?
"Tothohe alolmomonondod isos onon tothohe Cochohrorisostotmomasos sostotaror."
Does it say more? "Find the almond as fast as possible." Let's look at the present.
"The almond."
"Cochohrorisostotmomasos sostotaror ..."
Woops.
"Christmas..."
– Pretty sick if this is true. – "The almond is on the Christmas star"!
Yes! Easy. It's here.
– The almond is on the Christmas star. – Oops!
Take care. See you.
We set out with two very quickly located almonds.
Julie, you triumphantly say "easy" –
– while you have risalamande up to your elbows.
That was just a warm-up.
Martin, you read the code we wrote on the spoon.
– It's robber language. – Yes. [Secret language from Astrid Lindgren books]
And you've had a tough season, the sports journalist now says.
– How much does this victory mean to you? – It means a lot.
But of course you'd look at such a long spoon. You don't see that often.
So I picked up the long spoon and looked, and it's robber language.
And I'm good at that.
Your word. How long did it take Julie and Martin to solve the task –
– with two different approaches?
Julie, you took 44 seconds.
– That was fast. – They almost didn't cut it.
And Martin, you are indeed good at robber language. You found it after 40 seconds.
Oh boy. That's crazy fast.
Sounds like two razor sharp times. Not least Martin's.
But we haven't seen the other three. Is 40 seconds a winning time?
Yes, unless your name is Simon Jul. Then you'd think it was a shit time.
"Time starts now."
The question is whether the almond is in the rice pudding or...
– How long did it take? – 16 seconds.
I could have done it in ten.
– That was fairly quick. – My man.
Never have I bragged so much in one season –
– while just taking credit for things I didn't do.
Fuck, I'm good. My client is good. I take the credit.
Simon finds the almond in 16 seconds.
We'll probably have to tread water towards the end of the show if these speeds continue.
Cause dang, those are some fast solutions.
These were indeed really quick solutions.
But let's build up the mood: Can it get even crazier?
Because we left quite a lot of clues around the room.
It's on the spoon, in the gift, in the bowls –
– there's a star in the huge picture –
– it's on the back of the picture, it's on the table as an anagram, as a puzzle on the tree...
So I ask again: Can it get even crazier?
And the answer is ... no. Let's watch Sebastian and Eva.
There's an almond here somewhere.
Are we lucky enough that it's located somewhere other than the rice pudding ... risalamande?
Do we have a sieve?
I'm going in the rice pudding. Good damn it.
– I have a good eye for almonds. – Putting it somewhere else would be brilliant.
I won the almond last Christmas.
M, D.
Like that. "Almond".
– Time is still running. – Goddamn.
It says something. A little mystery.
"The almond is on the ... toilet."
"The almond is on the Christmas star."
– "Star"! It's there! – You're at 6 minutes.
It was there! I looked before. So it was there all along.
Here's the almond.
I think that was pretty... Can it be solved faster?
We'll have to see.
You went over here to look. You did this with your head.
That sucks.
Is it also there?
No, no, no.
Oh, it's all over the place!
What does Lasse have in his hand in the picture?
A Christmas star. That was a really, really stupid task.
Sebastian, would you like to see the back of the picture?
No, that was stupid.
– Merry Christmas. – Are you leaving me now?
What a crap task. A stupid task. Damn.
Damn, damn, damn.
– Shit. – Stupid task.
I love how Sebastian keeps making children's TV. "Where might the almond be?"
Sit down, Simon Talbot!
This will all be cut from the final broadcast.
We don't want this to our names.
I think, Eva, that the definition of irrepressible optimism is –
– to hear Mark say: "We've reached six minutes."
And then when you find the almond, you happily say:
"Is that fast enough to win?" I love that.
It's my best time of the whole season.
Everything else has been over 20 minutes.
I was afraid it was too boring because I was too fast.
That was a real concern. Is it bad television that I'm so fast?
Ah, that's what happened every time, Eva.
It's a shame I mention that I have a good eye for almonds.
– Should we have some points? – Yes, these times don't change the top three.
Sebastian took three minutes and 45 seconds.
You might think that was a bit long, but not that long –
– when you consider that Eva took six minutes and seven seconds.
That's alright.
There are three points for Julie –
– four points for Martin and five points for Team Simon.
No!
– No. That would be too disgusting. – Both stupid and disgusting.
That's hubris.
One member of your team already has covid.
Now you've taken an almond I had in my cheek.
It tastes like points.
The taste of victory. I hope you enjoy it so far.
How do we continue the Christmas antics?
Try to guess what I'm doing next.
You'll touch your iPad and start a clip.
That's why you're the taskmaster.
Merry Christmas, Mark Le Fêvre.
Oh, how exciting.
Bells, a marzipan pig, a Santa hat and a task.
What's happening?
Another little gift from the collection of Lasse's adult toy drawer.
– "Predict what Simon..." – "Sebastian..."
– "Julie ..." – "Martin ..."
"Eva Yin, or Gin ..."
"... will do with one of the items on the table."
Predict what she will do with one item?
He eats this one.
"If you guess right, you get five points."
"Do something yourself with one of the items."
– "You get five points if Simon ..." – "Eva ..."
– "Martin" ... – "Julie" ...
"If Sebastian predicts what you do with one of the items."
I have to predict what Martin has done.
Then I have to do something which I expect Sebastian to guess.
Wow.
– I hope you can guess it. – You're putting the hat on, aren't you?
You have to do something and guess something predictable.
You must behave predictably and guess the predictable actions of others.
There are two times five points at stake.
Let's take them from end to end.
Julie does something which Sebastian has to predict.
Then he does something which Simon has to predict.
He does something which Eva has to predict. Straightforward.
"Predict what Julie Rudbæk will do with one of the items."
Sebastian Klein, you can figure out that I have done this.
She has ...
A nice little pig...
She has removed the head from this marzipan pig.
... riding across the fields.
Completely happy.
She has detached the head from the pig. Probably with a bite.
But whoa...
No!
Then I have to do something, which Simon predicts.
First I see Sebastian Klein with the Santa hat.
That's a crazy fucking vision.
Do you know what I do?
He took the bells –
– and then he sang "Jingle Bells".
– Did you just bite the head off? – It's a good marzipan pig.
Eva Jin is funny and creative, so she probably thinks...
How does Simon Jul think?
This old, chubby Mr Miyagi guy, what will he do.
"Hello, my name is Simon Jul. Let me put this on."
What I'll do is I'll cut the pig into the cuts used around Christmas.
My name is Simon Jul.
Now we cut off the neck. You can leave on the rind.
My name is Simon Jul.
I also cut off the belly. Here's our Christmas ham.
Hello, my name is Simon Jul.
Eva, the beautiful Asian, must find out –
– that I have cut up the whole pig into cuts for use at Christmas.
Bon appetite.
My name is Simon Jul. I'll take that. He put on the Santa hat. Done.
You're bent on destroying the marzipan pig.
Julie is so close to detaching the head.
– One more blow, and the head is gone. – You just felt like it.
I understand those solutions. You thinks: I could have predicted that.
Simon, how likely are others to think:
I'll cut a marzipan pig into butcher's cuts.
I'm sure at some point of the day he said: "Hi, I'm Simon Jul."
And that's mainly what's being guessed.
Everything you do ... Santa hat ... It's all Simon Jul.
So I think it's five points.
It's Simon Jul, Simon Jul, Simon Jul.
He is Simon Jul. Yes?
How can we have such a corrupt audience –
- applauding such rambling madness.
You guys are nowhere near... We have a connection here.
– Smash. We thought the same thing. – You are wildly apart.
I have a connection with no one.
We have seen more than half of the task. No one has received points yet.
– Can you give us some hope for Christmas? – Onto the final part of the task.
And here Martin, who is crazy, tries to predict what Eva will do.
And Julie tries to predict what Crazy Martin will do.
Shut up, it's hard.
I like marzipan.
She may have eaten it in one bite.
That's a head gone.
I think Eva dyed this blue.
And then you must do something.
– Martin is damn crazy. – He's damn crazy.
He's crazy. The most obvious thing, if you're crazy –
– is to just smash the pig. That would be crazy.
Julie predicts that I will do something like this with the pig.
Martin has done the following:
Bang! Bang! Bang!
If Julie predicted that, I get five points.
Well spotted.
That's five points for Julie and for Martin –
– for doing something predictable and guessing something predictable.
Frustrating for Martin to be so very close.
You say that Eva eats the marzipan pig.
But somehow you move to:
"No, she dyes the hat blue. Like everyone would."
You do that each and every Christmas. Dyeing a Santa hat blue.
– So how do you do that? – There you have your answer.
Should I grab a marker and then...?
I was afraid that we would end up with five zeros for this task.
– How nice that someone got on the board. – Very much so.
There are five points for Julie and Martin.
This is a very unfamiliar sentence to me:
Martin, you're in the lead.
Mark, I'm in the mood for presents. Can you satisfy my thirst?
Considering your love for presents, it's a good thing you wrote the task.
After all, you asked the contestants to bring a package each.
So congratulations.
Merry Christmas. Were you startled?
I was just happy to see such a big gift. Never seen that before.
– You shouldn't have ... – Is it for me?
– Oh boy. You shouldn't. – You always have to read the card first.
"Give the taskmaster a surprising Christmas present."
Surprising, would that be like: "Huh"
– Okay. – Strip tease.
"Your gift must be in the package."
"Most surprising Christmas present for the taskmaster wins."
"You have until Christmas. Time starts now."
No...! Are they all for me? You shouldn't have done that.
Yes. You asked them to.
Yes, I asked for a surprising present.
I hope to find that in these five packages.
Start with the gift from Team Simon.
Simon?
Maybe it's Simon down there.
Congratulations! Corona!
– What could be in there? – What the hell is this?
It's a total waste of space.
Here you go.
It is a gift card for a 24-hour kiosk chain.
– You look surprised. – You didn't see that one coming.
I was called in at the last second.
So I want to represent men who buy gifts a little too late.
On the way here, I found a gift card for 7-Eleven.
Congratulations!
Merry Christmas!
– Would you like one more? – May I open the one from Eva?
– Yes, just take it. – No, actually you can't.
Sit down, Lasse.
You shouldn't use your fragile body more than necessary.
My fragile body?
Yes, because I looked you up and...
– You're going to be 50. – Yes, that's right.
And that is "the dangerous age".
What?
For men.
No one here in the studio knows how much time you have left now.
We're talking months, days, minutes...
... seconds. Who knows?
I have to admit that you are the oldest comedian I have ever met.
Meanwhile, if I may: You're not the youngest woman I have met.
No, but ... Where was I?
– He was dying. – True.
I think it's such a shame –
– that we only honor people once they're gone.
So I want to honor you while we still have you.
– We have to hurry a little. – You may open the package, Lasse.
– Get up slowly. – Do you need help?
I'll be there in a minute. What the hell, Eva?
The tape is a bit tough. You just have to...
What is it? It's a lemon egg timer.
It's actually your one minute of silence.
So you wind it up here.
Are you expecting me to shut up for one minute myself?
No, it might not be in your spirit, but…
So now I would like to –
– on behalf of our beloved Lasse Rimmer –
– who was a king of entertainment –
– ask for one minute of silence.
I don't really know if this works.
– That not surprising. – Shhh.
You're ruining your moment.
Shhh.
– I hope you enjoyed it, Lasse. – I am 100% surprised.
– Thank you, Eva. But what now? – Please unwrap Martin's present.
Martin's present?
– Hello, Martin. – Lasse, go ahead.
– There is no speech? – It's coming.
Lasse ... That's Lasse.
You can clearly see that.
It's your ... He's your ...
He is yours for 19 days.
Wow!
18 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes more than I wanted.
Because it's you, he needed some abilities. Do you know how to whistle?
– If I can whistle? No. – No...!
I'll show you what happens if you whistle. You can have fun with that.
"Welcome to Jeopardy. I am Lasse Rimmer."
– Does he do that every time? – No, theres also...
"Shut up, Mark. I am Lasse Rimmer."
And ...
You can change things up to make him say something else.
– No, we did not agree ... – Please be quiet.
Shut up now.
I say something to you, and then you say it.
Yes. Now, please.
Krejlerkongen. I am Lasse Rimmer. [TV show hosted by Lasse]
Go down.
I'm so spoiled. Whose present can I open now?
– You can have a gift from Julie. – It's a little less creepy.
Oops! No, don't worry.
That's exactly what you'd say about a creepy gift.
No ...! Ahr.
What do you give the man who has everything?
Socks. With his very surprised face on.
– I am very surprised. – You didn't expect that in such a big package.
No, I hadn't.
Wow!
– There is one package left. – It's from Sebastian.
I'll come over to you, Sebastian.
No, fear not.
He says before he finds the knife.
And yet.
– Can I lift it? – Yes.
Can I?
– Does it have teeth? – Yes.
– It's calm, isn't it? – Yeah.
No no.
– Can I grab it in the middle? – I would try.
Boo! Pardon. I can't help it.
If I lift it in ...
Now it woke up.
– Can I have it around ...? – Yes, it's your Christmas present.
Oh!
No! That's wild.
And now let's go to the audience.
That always gives a nice reaction.
– Where is it? – We have the head here.
Let's go back up. Let me help you, how have a new tie.
This is a South American boa constrictor.
A constrictor snake.
It has teeth and can bite –
– but mainly birds and mammals.
– I'm a mammal. – Sorry, smaller mammal.
– Whoa, where are you going? – Calm down.
But this is your Christmas present.
Unless you think it should go back to its cool terrarium.
It's your choice.
I would like to keep it in the terrarium where it lives.
It's too close.
– Are you scared, Martin? – Yes, I'm afraid of snakes.
Now I'll take it to the terrarium.
You guys took me on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.
Thank you for your generosity. The task was to surprise me with a present.
What was most surprising? We start with one point.
Team Simon, I'm not that surprised, but you get a point.
The pictures were surprising. Two points for the level of astonishment –
– for the loving but self-absorbed socks.
And then we have a close race.
Sebastian, I'm actually quite fascinated by snakes.
Three points.
The last two packages were related.
I probably figured that there was a person in one of them.
And maybe one that seemed familiar.
But to discover that in your experience I'm such a dull person –
– surprised me a little. Four points. But no surprise is as great –
– as being told by a young woman: "You're going to die in a little while."
Five points for Eva Jin.
We have a single task left from my Christmas house. What is it?
We do have a task, which has eaten up our entire budget.
But when the opportunity presents itself –
– to get such a famous person in the show, we won't say no, thank you very much.
So here you have the real Santa Claus ... from the Rødovre mall.
Wow! Oh God ...
Santa Claus!
Hello, Santa Claus.
– Is that Santa Claus? – Sure is.
You have something on your lap.
Not me. I'm an adult.
It's for you.
Are we getting into trouble –
– because I have to take an envelope from Santa's lap?
This is a big day.
"Make a wish to this Santa."
But ...
I want a wonderful spa break for the entire family.
– I want a vacation. – Where to?
The Maldives.
– World peace. – World peace.
– Yes, can you do it?
I've been thinking since October -
- that I need a new Thermomixer.
Or rather. In my family, if you want something that is too expensive, we say:
I would like money towards a Thermomixer.
So you don't ask for such a big gift.
I actually have a little ... extra task here.
Thanks.
I have more now that it's Christmas.
Okay ...!
That makes it a bit more complicated.
"Make your Christmas wish come true."
"You have 30 minutes."
– "Best fulfillment wins." – "Time starts now."
I have 30 minutes to bring peace to the world, Mark.
What did Jesus do?
It was a stupid task. But also a grand wish.
But it has some grandiosity which suits the show.
How difficult a wish should we try to fulfill?
We can begin at the milder end with some shopping trips.
– Let's do it. – Fine.
Press 1 for reservations of spa treatments.
We take 1.
There.
– "Go to checkout." – Hi it's Martin and Santa Claus.
I would like to book a wonderful spa break for me and my family.
I can say now that the rest of the Christmas gift budget for this year is gone.
It would be nice if we could get some sea view.
– That will be 28,873 kr. – Yeah okay.
Sorry nephew, you'll get something I glued from matches and chestnuts.
Let's take that.
"Thank you for your order."
It was a great pleasure, Santa.
See you in the chimney.
Merry fucking Christmas.
That wish sure came true.
We just need to see the receipt.
Anyone can call and get an offer.
28 thousand.
I'll call the bank to say sorry.
Martin, you find a spa break for the whole family and are told –
– that it will cost 28,873 kr.
May I see a receipt?
No, because they didn't wanna go.
So you ... No!
It's a shame you won't get your Christmas wish fulfilled like Team Simon did.
But I would say that...
I was doing this badly previously.
– Let's get back to that time. – The Christmas memories.
Martin, I would like to go to a spa hotel instead of your family.
From my good heart.
You're still giving, aren't you?
No.
Simon Jul himself fulfills his Christmas wish.
Martin, the spa break never happened.
Your wish didn't come true, so I can't give you points.
Who's next to have a wish fulfilled?
Julie wanted a trip to the Maldives.
Which also costs a bit.
Instead of paying for it yourself, you try to get the trip for free.
It's not that difficult when you're a bit of a celebrity –
– and are also friends with Melvin Kakooza. [Comedian]
We have to be quick. I know someone named Melvin.
Melvin, you are the very best at getting things very quickly.
How can I help you get to the Maldives?
Think outside the box. It could be that you knew about some private planes.
– Or a travel agency... – Call Charlotte.
– Can she arrange the trip? – Yes, 100%.
– Mark ... No, Melvin, do you want to come? – Of course.
Cool. I'll tell Mark you get his ticket.
– It's Charlotte. – You're speaking to Julie Rudbæk.
Can you arrange a trip to the Maldives within 20 minutes?
- Should it be free? – Yes, and what would it take?
Should I invite Melvin along?
Mark Le Fêvre also wants to join. He is a fairly new stand-up comedian.
I don't know him, but I'd like to try to help you.
Thank you very much. It is the world's best Christmas present.
How brilliant is that. Look what she writes.
"I'm sure we can arrange a trip to the Maldives this spring."
It was that easy.
Thanks to Melvin.
Who is this Charlotte?
I can't give the last name.
How do you get such an agreement?
Didn't you see the clip?
You just call Charlotte and say you wanna go to the Maldives?
You can try. I don't know if it works with your name.
– Maybe you're too old. – Naming me doesn't work.
It's funny, I heard that if you and Melvin are to go –
– part of the agreement was that the tour operator –
– gets a 30 second commercial in "Stormester".
And their logo had to be on screen throughout the entire episode.
I'm not sure it was the entire episode.
– Only some of the episode? – Maybe.
And now a word from our sponsor.
No, I didn't go. And that's because of your bosses.
You saw it. I actually arranged a trip in 20 minutes.
And then some big wigs called and said:
"We can't accept all these advertisements on television."
Julie, that was close, but you haven't been to the Maldives.
There are two wishes left that we can really keep our fingers crossed for.
Rejoicing.
I understand that, as this was a large undertaking.
One follows in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.
And the other does something I almost think is even more beautiful.
What conflicts can we fix?
We do what Jesus did to bring peace to the world.
Some spiteful FCK and Brøndby fans. [Rival Copenhagen football teams]
Let's call Brøndby.
You have called outside of our usual opening hours.
You have reached Brøndby IF ...
Maybe that's too big of a task.
Off!
Let's get started.
Love your neighbour!
More conflicts. We call the Israeli embassy.
Remember the important values. The Christian ones. All the religious values.
Shalom. The Israeli embassy is now closed.
Is everything closed?
Why do we fight each other if we are all made in the same image?
– Do we have a school nearby? – They're also closed now.
Oh yeah. True. They're also closed.
That car wants to hear the message!
– What do we want? – Peace!
I don't think I've always treated you as I should.
Oh?
And I would like to say: I'm sorry about that.
Peace, love and harmony.
Can you forgive it?
– It's forgiven. – That's great of you.
– That's a home run. – Merry Christmas.
– Yes, you start small. – It was quite beautiful.
I'm trying. I find conflicts all around.
Totally. I look for the conflicts.
Where can I spread some oil onto the waters?
And there I found something.
One of the greatest things you can do is say sorry.
Let's take that again: The greatest thing you can do is say sorry.
So yeah, it was a really good try.
I don't remember the Christmas Gospel as:
"And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus –
– that everyone should line up along Danish roads with cardboard signs."
It was a new interpretation of preaching in the street.
Jesus would do that today.
And he wouldn't care about his bent sign.
– "Why is she showing a piece of cardboard?" – I didn't know it was bent.
I think we're ready to hand out points.
Martin and Julie, you're not quite there.
But it's Christmas. You gave me gifts.
– Here's a point for each of you. – No...!
– Thanks. – That's cute.
Onto those who actually tried.
Eva, you get three fresh points.
It's a good bunch of point.
There is a result when you say sorry for misdeeds.
– Four points for Sebastian. – Let it be a lesson learned.
It may well be that Team Simon was called for an interview at the bank.
But you got what you wanted. Five points.
Yes!
Mark, before the Christmas peace descends upon the Stormester house...
How do things look before the final task?
It's amazingly close. But pinch me if Martin isn't in front.
Incredible!
Wow!
Great.
That's the situation, but we still need the final Christmas task –
– happening this Christmas right now on the Christmas stage.
It's time for the final task. Christmas trees are on the table.
What is the task about? Surely one of the contestants can read it out loud?
– Who will get that gift this year? – That gift belongs to you, Julie.
– Thank you my darling. – Here you go.
Wow!
Well...
"Get the Christmas tree that lights up."
"You must connect one of the two Christmas trees –
– and then present a Christmas tree to the taskmaster."
"The taskmaster then chooses whether to keep or exchange his Christmas tree."
"If you end up with the turned-off Christmas tree, you're out."
You will line up at the table. The taskmaster is on the other end.
Then you plug in one of the two Christmas trees down there.
Then you decide whether you want to keep it or give it to the taskmaster.
It's about having the tree that lights up in the end.
He can then at the very end choose –
– whether he wants to keep his current tree ... or switch around.
The first to try to trick the taskmaster is Martin.
Please come forward.
You can show us how to do it.
Åh ...! The brows are off.
If you open the package, you can see the options for yourself.
Now, yes.
Are you okay?
Fine. Who gets which tree?
But ...
– You want the blue one? – You're asking me?
You want me to have the blue one. Let me find out whether –
- I want to hand over the blue tree and take the red. Martin ...
Lasse ... so.
Which tree has light in it? Which of the two trees?
– Do you want to know? – Yes.
There are lights in ...
... the blue one.
– The blue? – Yes-sica.
– So I should not switch. – Don't think so.
– Then I'll keep the blue one. – Are you sure?
Not anymore, but I'll keep the blue. I am not completely sure.
– There is light in the blue. Yes there is. – Shit!
Unfortunately, it didn't work, Martin. Eva, maybe things are going better for you.
Then you just take the blue.
Eva ...
– Should I keep the blue tree? – Yes, I think so, Lasse.
Is there light in the blue tree?
No ... well ... no. I don't remember.
I actually don't think you remember anymore.
– There is light in the blue tree. – We will see.
– Wow! – Sebastian.
How does this work? I can't figure this out at all.
No no ...
We'll do it like that.
Take the blue. Or the red one.
You must take the blue.
Or the red one. You have to take ...
Now I have a bit of a doubt, Lasse.
I think you should take…
I think you should choose the blue one. Red. Choose one of them.
You must take the blue.
Or the red one. It's the one that lights up.
It's the blue one. No, one of them lights up.
I seem to have forgotten ...
This shouldn't develop into...
Take the red! You have to take ...
Or the blue. You must take the blue.
Or the red one. Take one of them.
You must take the blue ... red. It stands well.
– There is light in the red one. – Yes.
No, wait a minute. You must take the red one.
– I already did. – We'll see.
Wow!
Julie, please.
Exciting.
Oh, you're fast. Should we change the trees?
Do you think so? What do you want?
You must first tell me which tree I want.
Okay. No, we don't trade. It's good the way it is.
– No, I'll take the blue one. – I think that's very nice.
We will see.
Go ahead, Simon.
Okay. What?
Like that. You have to take ...
... the blue. Take the red one.
As a former Jehovah's Witness, you didn't experience electricity until you were 20.
It's the Amish you're thinking of.
Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas because they're envious of Santa Claus.
Because he enters through every door.
He's let into all houses?!
All?
– What do you want me to take? – The red one.
I want the red one.
Right now I'm a red-star kind of guy.
– I hope there's light in it. Let's see. – You go with the red one?
Oops!
– Unfortunately. – What a shame.
Now it will be a little different. Because there are two left –
– and now you two must compete against each other.
– Oh boy. – Please step into place.
It will be interesting. So what should we do?
What is this "Squid Game" shit?
So do I start here?
Yes, you start by plugging in one of the trees.
– Take the blue. – I'll take the blue.
– I'll take the blue! – What?
If you win now, you win five points and thus the entire episode.
– No no no! – Then I won't take the blue.
– Then I'll take the red one. – Why?
Eva must be allowed to win an episode.
– No, I'll take the red one. – Thank you, Sebastian.
I've never had the red before, but I'll take it.
Let's see.
Yes!
Eva!
Finally it happened.
Here you go.
– Well done. – It's candy. It is good enough.
Congratulations!
If you were following how the points have fallen -
– then you might be thinking: Whoa, don't Martin and Eva have the same number of points?
Yes, but our tiebreaker is:
Who won the most tasks and got five points for them?
The winner of Christmas Stormester this year is Eva Jin!
Oh my fucking god, man.
By a hair's breadth, the perennial loser of the regular season –
- Eva Jin succeeded, taking home the trophy.
It is so deserved. All that's left to say is –
– what a bunny once said to me during Easter.
He looked me straight in the eye and said, "Merry Christmas!"
