Bang!
Oh no! Yes.
That was awful.
Bad.
- No! - Go my darling.
It doesn't feel good.
Welcome to a very special edition of Taskmaster.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Over the next four evenings -
- this particularly disappointing group will completely waste that chance.
We have invited a quintet of prior contestants -
- who wants to prove that their failed attempt to triumph -
- was due to a series of unfortunate circumstances.
But in 4 weeks, one of them will walk away with a consolation trophy.
Who’s it going to be? Could it be Eva Jin?
Might it be Jacob Taarnhøj?
Maybe Linda P?
Or Thomas Warberg?
Or will it be Sofie Jo Kaufmanas?
I want to say it’s a pleasure to see you again, but I’m also slightly scared.
What's it like being back in the chairs?
Just today I found out that we were so bad that we got invited to get a second chance.
I thought we were so awesome that they wanted us on the show again. No.
When I got the call they said: "You were the first one on the call sheet."
It wasn't a nice feeling after finding out why.
You get a chance to atone for your past mistakes.
You actually get plenty of chances because there are a lot of tasks.
I'll also make sure...
Are we getting an explanation about the gross cake eating?
At my side is my trusted assistant: Mark le Fêvre.
- You've brought a cake. - A very nice cake.
I can't reveal exactly what happened. That’s revealed later on.
But I have come into possession of large quantities of delicious Gateau Marcel [Chocolate cake without gluten originally made by a French/Danish Michelin chef: Michel Michaud and his friend Marcel in 1970s]
And I actually have...
I have brought it all with me... Okay, let’s do it.
If you just wait for a moment.
There are some things you forget along the way.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
Here you go.
Lovely Gateau Marcel.
That's too much. I had a lot lately.
- Can I put it down here? - Yes. Now it's completely gone.
This body’s not going to fuck itself. I have to keep it...
You're all hoping to win the title that you didn’t win the first time.
The thing is, you can't come around a second time and expect to get my golden head.
So we've decided to find the trophy at the other end of my body.
You are competing for my golden foot.
Mark, where do we begin?
We’re going to start with a simple task. Some might say it's too simple.
Others would say that it’s an outright mindfuck.
Uh, you’re just starring straight at me?
Hello.
Uh, how exciting.
- This looks exciting. - What has the Taskmaster come up with?
- A pink bead. - And a glass.
And a task.
"Put the bead..." Where is the bead?
- I’m seeing a little bead. - Oh, the bead. Okay.
- "Put the bead in the glass." - "Your time stops when you say..."
"'I have put the bead in the glass.'"
What?
I just need to make sure that I'm doing the right thing.
- "Put the bead in the glass." - "Fastest solved task wins."
- "You have one try." - That can’t just be it.
"Your time starts now."
I don't understand the task, Mark.
It’s pretty simple, we want you to succeed right off the bat.
You’re trying to humiliate us from the get-go.
- You're very paranoid, Jacob. - Everyone is.
There’s a reason why.
Eva, was it uncomfortable?
It was very uncomfortable. One of the most stressful things I've ever done.
- And we have 5 wounded kids. - We're burned.
This is not in any way comfortable.
This is not fun to do.
Mark, who are we going to see try to solve the task first?
It's a task that can seem super easy. We’re going to see if that’s actually the case.
But let's start by watching Taarnhøj, Eva and Linda P -
- who solve the task incredibly fast.
Uh!
"Your time starts..."
Can't I just do this?
"The fastest solved task ..."
I have put the bead in the glass.
"Your time starts now." I’ve put the bead in the glass.
"Now." I've put the bead in the glass.
I don't get it. I just don't get it.
"Put the bead in the glass." I think I’ve solved it nicely.
Is there something else to this?
The level of difficulty from task to task varies a lot.
See you later.
I don't get it. Something is wrong.
That was quite easy.
I spent more time after the task inside the room just sitting...
I spent 4 months just sitting.
That's 3 x 5 points. Boom.
We’ll come back to if you've actually solved the task.
- But how fast were they? - They were really fast.
We can begin with Eva who we got to know as the slowest one in her season.
But it takes you a little more than 3 seconds.
It's the slowest time of the 3 but it's still fast.
- It's between you and me then. - That's damn good, Eva.
All 3 times were fairly close.
Linda, you say: "I’ve put the bead in the glass" -
- in just under a second and a half.
But...
Jacob Taarnhøj, he’s a fast talker.
You said "I have put the bead in the glass" in less than a second.
Holy shit, man.
All three were really fast.
- Who are we watching next? - Thomas Warberg.
There was a bit of a feeling among the three others: might we have missed something?
We’re going to watch Thomas who thinks twice about the task.
It seems too easy. It says: "Put the bead in the glass."
"Your time stops when you’ve said 'I have put the bead in the glass.'"
It's made of plastic.
It's not glass.
Is that glass?
Yes, it's made of glass.
I have put the bead in the glass.
At least you've learned something from last time. You have to really think about the tasks.
You must feel like this all the time.
Would you say that the other three contestants...
- should be disqualified for not completing the task?
No.
One thing I’ve learned from being one of the losers -
- is that it's also important to just be included.
- How does that receive applause? - Good guy.
Strictly speaking you're putting the bead on a lid.
- Yeah, you can't call it a glass. - But it's important to just be included.
There you go.
The lid’s made of glass. You place the bead in a glass and say:
"I have placed the bead in the glass." And you then have your time recorded.
Glass can refer to both the material and a container.
It’s not important whether the glass is made of glass or plastic.
That’s why... Yeah, their attempts are still accepted.
But how badly did Sofie do?
We'll get to that. What was Thomas Warberg's time?
What does it say? 29 seconds.
But it's important to just be included. We still need to watch one more contestant.
We tend to save the brilliant solutions at the very end, right?
Behind the scenes Sofie and I had a great chat
- where Sofie expressed -
- that she’s smarter than what’s shown on footage.
Now we're going to show people the smarter side of you Sofie.
"Your time starts now."
It’s this, right?
Ugh! I'm getting nervous.
I'm probably going to do something stupid.
It is...
Now... Oh, no!
This is so mindfucking!
So much can happen right now. It could be glued in place.
It can't only be this.
Stop it!
Okay.
Is it going to give me a shock?
What is it?
This is so stupid! It's exactly what it says it is.
I've put the bead in the glass. It's exactly this.
So, you just had to do it. And then it’s about who's the dumbest?
It's a dumb-season.
- How are you feeling right now? - Dumb. Not great.
I read it correctly, I did it correctly. It was misleading.
Exciting. I'm still calm and collected.
- I’m good enough as is. - I feel a huge inner peace.
And... it's going to be fun. It's great.
- That's good. -Bye.
You did one thing that impressed me. You predicted what's was going to happen.
You said: "I'm probably going to do something stupid."
Then you spend the rest of the time doing something that's pretty stupid.
Some would say.
How much time did it take Sofie to solve this simple bead task?
1 minute and 20 seconds.
Great time.
Mark how are the points distributed?
There’s 1 point to Sofie, 2 points to Warberg, 3 to Eva...
4 points to Linda, and in front: Jacob Taarnhøj with 5 points.
It’s on a foundation of uplifting tasks that we have made this special season.
Mark, shouldn't we just continue in the same vein?
I'm not sitting here saying that you're conceited.
That you're lonely. That you need love in your life.
You can say that. As long as you don't say those things are connected.
Hold on a second. Then I have to scroll down.
I'm just saying that you make the tasks on this show.
- This is awesome. - My God, you're flirting with me.
That's romance.
- It's a date. I'm going on a date. - Is today the day you finally ask me?
- Would you like to go on a date? - Is it with you?
- Oh, there's a task. - Good.
"Declare your love to the Taskmaster."
That's a bit difficult when he gives me 1 point -
- for performing "Hamlet" at Kronborg with a turtle.
"You have 30 minutes."
- "Greatest declaration of love..." - "to the Taskmaster wins."
"Your time starts now."
I have to declare my love.
What is love?
I can write a song. But that’s a bit overdone.
Couldn't you do a: I’ll go through fire and water for you?
Love is a lot of things.
I could have phone sex with him.
The best thing to do is -
- to know the person you want to express your love to.
Then you know what the person would love.
I’ll go get my phone and...
No, I don't drink. I could use a drink though.
Life’s all about karma. You give and get back from the universe.
I’ve shown my love by inviting you back.
It's now time to give me some love back -
- by showing your complete, unequivocal love for me.
- Where do we begin? - With Jacob Taarnhøj.
In your season, season 2, you finished unequivocally in last place.
But what's so great about you is you're not the type to hold grudges.
This one goes out to you, Lasse.
Lasse, Lasse Rimmer.
You’re standing on the balcony and you’re smiling down at me.
I'm happy to admit I'm uglier.
But you’re my great love.
Lasse, Lasse Rimmer.
Your intellect is big. You’re a magnet for young women.
It annoys you a little when they say: who asked? [Directly translated Spurgt = asked. It’s a young way to basically say “who asked?” in a grammatically incorrect way also considered to be rude]
Lasse, Lasse Rimmer.
Compared to you I am nothing.
I hope you still want me.
Even though you only gave me 1 point.
For performing "Hamlet" at Kronborg with a turtle.
When two people who love each other have children and later find out
- that the love isn’t there anymore and they get divorced.
They then promise each other they want an amicable divorce. A year later, they're sitting in district court.
I saw that development over the course of your song.
Yeah, and at district court they find out that they still love each other.
Jacob Taarnhøj was one of the contestants in season 2.
One of the tasks was to shoot an action movie with a turtle.
And I gave you... How many points?
You might remember that yourself.
But to go all the way to Kronborg with a turtle.
Dress up in clothes from Shakespearian time.
Capturing some of the most powerful drama that has ever been showcased on Danish television.
And then get 1 point.
If drama had been part of the task you would’ve gotten 5 points.
But it wasn't an action movie. That’s why you got 1 point.
Why does it need to be mentioned in a declaration of love?
Love is nuanced.
- Do you have a text somewhere up there? - No, I don't.
I'm looking into the darkness.
Love is falling in love of course.
But it’s also the time after falling in love when the difficult parts show up.
And that too should be included. Great love contains good things -
- but also contains that thing where one part really pisses off the other part.
And that's part of a declaration of love.
A musical declaration of love. Who do we see next?
We're going to see Thomas Warberg.
I don't know what to call this.
I feel a little dirty.
Leave a message after the beep.
Mojn, Lasse. I want to leave a message to show you how much I love you. [Mojn is a greeting used in Southern Jutland where Warberg is from. He also is using a Southern Jutland dialect]
One way to show it -
- is by having a sexual interaction.
Sit back and take it all in.
I'm walking over to you and start -
- unbuttoning your insanely woolen cardigan.
One button after another.
Unbutton, unbutton. Unbutton, unbutton, unbutton.
Now you have a bare stomach.
Now I begin to kiss your stomach.
Lasse, I'm kissing your stomach.
I'm kissing the chest. I’m kissing the nipple.
I’m kissing you all the way down to your belly button. I put my tongue in your belly button.
Now I'm taking your belt off, Lasse.
Then I'm take that belt and slap you right in your head.
Now you're only in your underwear. The white ones...
But the small... where you can get in without going down.
So that's what I do. I'm entering.
Now it's out, huh?
That's it, Lasse. Thanks.
I'm feeling a little nauseous.
You're welcome.
It honestly could be the way that you’re dirty-talking in real life.
You get a tic.
It could be accurate.
This body doesn't fuck itself.
Actually, it often does.
This was at once disturbing, arousing -
- and in a lot of ways a new experience.
- So who's going to try to do better? - We're going to watch Eva Jin.
I’ll go through fire and water for you.
When I suggested it, I was picturing Ex on the Beach.
Something like...
I can tell it's not quite the same.
- And you forgot it was in Denmark...in April. - Yeah, it's not that hot.
And Lasse's ex-girlfriend didn't come out of the water either [Joke about him dating younger women. The last 3 public relationships he has had were with women that were 17 and 2 x 20 years younger than him].
No...
- So... - What do you think of the experience?
- Well... - I think it's a strong start.
Didn't you hear how frightened the crowd was when I jumped over the fire?
- Was there even a fire? - There was coal.
There was a huge fire. Some fire’s so hot you can't see it.
That's right. It was fucking dangerous.
We have experienced three very different declarations of love.
Are we continuing with this kind of diversity?
A declaration of love is many different things.
There's a lot of things happening in the next one.
Here comes a little something with Linda P.
What are those chocolate cakes called? They’re a bit expensive.
- Gateau Marcel? - Yeah. He likes those.
Can you hold these?
We could have 2000 shipped to his home.
- 2000 Gateau Marcel? - Yes.
It sounds a tad bit expensive but you have a savings account, right?
What if you make a song for him?
- What are you writing? - "Beautiful." Does it hurt? [Shows her writing “stupid”]
- We're filming. - Lasse is a hottie.
He has a lot of brains. His crisp abs are just great.
I don't know how smart he is, but he has the biggest heart in the world.
He's lovely, he's lovely and completely flawless x 2.
You have tears in your eyes. I can see it.
I can see that you must really restrain yourself from crying.
Sometimes there's something said on this show -
- that isn't properly dissected in the show.
So I'll tell you what happened. Not too long ago, I'm heading out...
I go out of my front door and I see this.
I’ll accept a challenge -
- but after one and a half Gateau Marcel you've had enough.
- What did you do with them? - Great question.
Does anyone want a couple of months-old Gateau Marcel?
Mark, we have more out there. I also got...
I really tried.
Thank you. So it's a month old?
Yes, but it still tastes really good.
I also got a USB stick with the song and hundreds of Gateau Marcel cakes.
It's like putting your garbage in someone else's garage and say:
"Could you take this to the dump?"
I would do that for you.
I would drive anything to the dump for you, Lasse.
Isn't it true that I'm gaining weight -
- when you eat Gateau? [A callback to a previous task in season 2]
Stop!
- Well... - That's why I took piece a second piece.
We're still missing one declaration of love.
We’re missing yours, Sofie. You've approached it a little differently.
I'll tell you what Lasse Rimmer.
We are all happy to be back because it's a huge pleasure to be here.
Because even though we laugh at you -
- and mostly at Mark, we also really like you.
What I really like about you is that you're a huge nerd.
- Yes, I am. - That's awesome.
And you're one of the greats.
That's why I've tried to steer my declaration of love for you -
- through the way I see you.
You need to open up Familie Journalen. Here you go. [Familie Journalen, The family journal, is a weekly Danish lifestyle magazine]
- Say what you see. - A bookmark has been added.
"Celebrity crosswords." We’re at the crossword pages.
There's a picture of you. And it states your name.
Then you have to guess something from your name. "Money" ...
Look how quick is he. Nerd.
It must be Langå. [A town is east Jutland] That’s crunch.
Then it should say ... Ok I got it.
It should say: "I love Lasse Rimmer" as a part of the solution.
- I like crossword puzzles. - It's a real magazine.
- It's not a single edition of the magazine? - No, we're sitting with two.
I need to get this straight.
Should Familie Journalens ordinary readers -
- based on your name somehow guess the solution: "I love Lasse Rimmer?"
Yes!
I can confirm this from the most credible source available.
My mom called me very, very proudly -
- because my name is part of the solution. Let's see the solution.
- It's here. Mark le Fêvre. - But it's real.
Lasse, look at me. I love you.
Ugh, Okay.
I love you more.
But you can't get any points. There are 5 points to Sofie.
What?
I’ve written notes for everyone else. Let's take it from the bottom.
The two songs are at the bottom. That would be ironic, Taarnhøj -
- if you also got 1 point for this song.
Lasse, if you open Familie Journalen again...
...and solve the sudoku, that's in there -
- then you would find your IQ as the solution.
You are saved by the fact that I did not have to clean up after you.
Linda, I know you love me. That's why I'm giving you 1 point.
Because she loves me anyway. 2 points to Taarnhøj.
Thomas Warberg gets 4 points, but there’s 3 points to Eva Jin.
Let's move on, Mark.
Our five contestants weren't great at -
- solving tasks in their respective seasons.
Now we’re going to put it to the test if the old saying of negative-negative equals positive holds any water.
We're going to watch the first team task. Here's a hint: It doesn't.
- Hey, Mark. - Hey, Mark.
Hi.
What's going on?
The last man must leave the door open.
- Are you... - Good?
Hey.
- We’re in sync. - We’re in sync.
Are we ready? Great.
- "Get the trash can... - "Through the course."
"Fastest correctly completed course wins."
- "At least one contestant..." - "Must be in the trash can."
- Trash can. - "The remaining contestants...
"Must be blindfolded and drive the trash can."
"You have 1 minute to assign roles."
"Your time starts now."
- So who's going in the trash can? - I feel like I should.
- Warberg in the trash can. - Me? Okay.
He's going in the trash can.
You're light.
I'm a little heavier.
Why are you looking at us like that.
The first team with Taarnhøj, Warberg and Linda P.
And an eerily synchronized team of Eva and Sofie.
How was it working with other contestants?
It was shit.
- I was just about to say I thought it was great. - Great
A trash can needs to be pushed through a course.
One must sit in it, the others are blindfolded and must guide it through.
We don't know the how the course looks. We’ll find out in a moment when we’ll see Sofie and Eva.
There is also an extra little obstacle.
Here’s the girls.
I just have to down and sit in this. Oh my God.
- There’s a letter. - A task, yes.
"Throughout the task, you may only use words that begins with an H." No!
Right. [Højre is right in Danish]
I can do this. She doesn’t know that I'm only allowed to say words beginning with an H.
Exactly. Enjoy.
We're almost there.
- Hey, sweety. Say something. - Hey, hey, hey, hey.
We’re following the plan, right?
- Your time starts now. - Just guide me.
What’s going on?
You can’t say anything? You can't say anything. Why can't you say anything?
What should I do then?
How am I supposed to get her through the course when she isn’t saying anything?
Eva, what's wrong?
Hello.
We’re going to lose if you're like this. It's really difficult.
Eva, we’re going to lose if you can't say anything.
- Oh... - Horse.
- Horse? - That means left. Right.
- [Sign: drive backwards to the next spot] Oh! - What now?
Like this.
What now?
Am I there? Am I through the course? [Sign: Make a teammate pop the balloon]
No.
Right, right.
- Chop. [Hak in Danish] - Chop, chop, chop!
I'm not walking into anything, am I? Do I have to keep walking like this?
I'm just going to keep walking. That's because you stopped. And... [Sign: Wait here for exactly 11 seconds]
You've got a completely different set of rules compared to me.
What do I do now? Are you pushing?
Stop. I'll probably have to do something now. [Sign: Make your teammate clap exactly 3 times]
Would be great if you could answer.
Do you want me to dance?
Should I keep going?
Do I have to do something?
- Where? [Hvorhenne in Danish] - Where you began. [Sign: Park the trash can at the starting spot]
Eva, say something.
What now? What are you doing?
Eva... We're going that way.
If I fall down a flight of stairs, I'm gonna shoot you right in the head.
What's next?
Hey! Am I done?
What are you doing?
Can I take it off?
Nice to see that things are fine between you guys.
Eva, you do realize that you were allowed to say words that began with an H?
The rule was not: You can't say anything at all.
I got a bit stuck. Suddenly I could only say horse and right.
- Is that right? - It felt like there were no other words beginning with H.
You weren't as happy with each other towards the end of the task as you are now.
I'm quoting:
"If we're going down a flight of stairs, I'm gonna shoot you right in the head."
No I said: "If I'm going down a flight of stairs, I'm going to shoot you."
- So, I'm not quoting you. - It makes more sense.
If she was saying “horse” and I fell off of something. That’s wouldn’t be exactly great.
- Then I'm going to kill you. - I totally get that.
You complete the course. How long did they take?
- 45 minutes. - No, much faster.
7 minutes and 11 seconds.
- Wow! - What?
The question now remains: How did the other three do?
There are twice as many to drive the trash can.
Is that an advantage? No.
- There's a little... - Oh.
"Throughout the task, you may only use words beginning with an H."
Enjoy. I'll get the others.
Look who I’ve brought Thomas! There's the trash can.
- Hey. - Hey, you.
- Taking out the trash? - Haha.
Your time starts now.
Right!
Hep!
- Are we almost there? - Høm...
Come on, Thomas. It's heavy.
- Hep! - Forward. Quickly!
- Hep! - Hey.
Everything he says must be with an H.
Hep! Right.
I can feel we're almost there.
Hep! Heel. Heel.
- Oh, we're going in reverse. - Hooray!
- Halt. Halt. - There you go.
- Halt. - Are we at the finish line? No.
- Hand. - Say something. Right hand.
If I'm doing something correctly say H.
H. H.
Here’s a helium balloon. No, that's Lasse Rimmer's face.
- I have to make it explode? - Hexplode Hthe Halloon. [Explode the balloon]
- Perfect. Are we done? - No, we're not done. Halfway.
- Heleven Heconds. [eleven seconds] - One, two, three...
- Hlap. [Clap] - Three times.
Right!
Right.
Horward! Right! [Forward]
Hallo!
"Hark Hthe Hrash Han ..." [Park the trash can]
At the starting spot. “Htarting Hpot." [starting spot]
Hreat. [Great]
Horward! Horward!
Hreat, hreat, hreat.
Halt!
Phew.
- I took note of several things. - How well it's solved.
"Hexplode Hthe Halloon."
That's a South Jutland dialect.
It didn't say that you could only use existing words.
You can make up words like Hexplode and halloon. You can do that.
Let's take a look at the time. How did they do?
They had to beat 7 minutes and 11 seconds.
- They did... not beat that at all. - That went straight to the heart.
Sorry.
- Did you hear that? I didn't hear that. - No, I didn't hear that at all.
- What did he say? - "They did ... not beat that at all."
- How long did it take? - Shut up. What?
- Did we lose? - That’s coming now.
We're recording in Cirkus Revyens tent because Bakken’s closed. [Cirkus Revyen = Circus revue. It’s a tent at Bakken where they perform the yearly revue. They are filming there as it’s too cold to film at their normal spot]
But you just took quite a rollercoaster ride of emotions right now. [Bakken is the oldest existing amusement park, founded at 1583, with lots of rollercoaster rides, concerts etc. in Copenhagen]
It's vulnerable.
Let's take the band-aid off. 16 minutes.
There are points to be distributed. It’s your first team task -
- and I’ll give 4 points to Eva and Sofie. 4 points each.
2 points to the three who performed worse.
We only have one task left that you’ve completed at my residence.
What’s the task?
The common denominator of the houses you own are that they’re luxurious.
And it screams luxury to have your own private bowling alley.
If we're going to make another loser season we should install bumpers.
Hi, Mark.
Oh! Bowling pin.
Wow there are also bowling pins. [Kegle/bowling pin in singular can also mean fool]
- Where’s the task? - Turn around.
It's right over there.
I'm going in the shed. Oh!
"Knock over all the bowling pins."
So, I have to knock all those over? I understand that.
"You can’t leave the shed for the duration of the task."
"Mark can’t knock over the bowling pins on purpose."
- "On purpose." - Ah!
- "Fastest wins." - "Your time starts now."
Uh! That's pretty good, right?
You said it well, Eva. You have to quickly knock over bowling pins.
You can't leave the shed and the bowling pins are quite far away.
And Mark’s not allowed to knock over the bowling pins on purpose.
How did that go, Mark?
How did it go?
It went well...
- Say that again. - I think we should watch the task.
Do you have good ball skills?
Yes, I do actually.
It's just...
Okay we're going to have to rethink this.
I'd like for you to try to jump over the bowling pins.
If you could just get down on your knees.
I don't think you can walk 70 steps like that.
One, two, three, go!
44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51...
He knocked over incredibly few.
Now I want to see if you can do it with a distance of a meter.
One, two, three, go!
Yeah, baby. That's too bad.
Mark isn't it true that your dad was never there for you?
What do you say we throw a ball to each other?
If you go stand in the middle of the bowling pins. That’s where the good boys stand.
Yes, right there.
Do a somersault.
You have to land with your legs between the bowling pins, One, two, three, go!
- That's it! - I hit some of them.
You just have to catch it and throw it back to daddy.
Damn, I'm a bad thrower. Walk three steps closer.
No, that's wrong.
Now you should sound like a frog -
- while you jump 2 meter backwards with your eyes closed.
- Don't hit the bowling pins. - What’s with the frog element?
I’m going to jump. I'm not going to sound like a frog.
I need to get you to take one step back again.
Can you take one step forward again?
- One, two, three, go! - Ribbit, ribbit.
Don't hit the bowling pins.
Walk a little more towards me and then we're done. No, walk a little backwards now.
There you go. Good boy!
Again. There you go.
- God! - That wasn't very good, Mark.
I wonder how many people have messed with you. "I'm not going to sound like a frog! Ribbit."
You're so easy. It's so funny.
Mark can’t knock over the bowling pins on purpose. If so then you’ll be disqualified.
What do you guys think about that?
I was just trying to throw a ball to him. It can go wrong if you...
...aren’t aiming correctly.
I only have one thing to add and that's to Mark.
Mark, when it comes to anyone but me -
- you can say no to things like jumping backwards with your eyes closed.
If you understand me talk like a frog.
Ribbit.
We have seen two solutions. How much time did they take?
The two times may have been influenced by the tone that was set on the day.
Warberg had to check his ball skills.
And ends up taking 17 minutes and 5 seconds.
Linda throws nothing but sees the opportunity to humiliate me.
As I remember it it was with frothing at the mouth.
It was all over in 5 minutes and 24 seconds.
Well...
I believe that Mark did not knock over a single bowling pin on purpose.
This is purely because I know Mark.
And they are like your ball skills pretty much non-existent.
Who are we going to see now?
Taarnhøj and Eva who also use my non-existent skills.
What have the others done, Mark?
I'll give it a try.
Yeah, it's close.
Could the others just hit them from here or what the fuck is going on?
- Three more. - There's some kind of hook here.
Mark must not knock the balls over. [A verbal mistake]
But you can pick them up and carry them over here. Then I'll knock them over.
I think I have the solution.
I really want you to to go around the bowling pins.
Then I’ll pull the string so that all the bowling pins fall over.
Come on, Mark. We're in a hurry. We have records to break.
- You can hurry up a bit. - Yes, yes.
- No, no! - Oh, Mark! It doesn't matter.
There you go.
And time.
Yes!
A clever solution that you end up with. Your first two attempts are respectively -
- to send the bowling ball rolling with a club.
Since that isn’t strong enough you then think you could blow it away with a flower nebulizer.
That might work.
I may have overestimated my own strength a bit.
If I do it fast maybe something physics-like will happen.
Then it might create some kind of electricity.
Fire you can't see.
Eva, your plan was to try something physics-like.
And Taarnhøj’s doing something bowling-like.
You're bowling so beautifully that with the first two attempts -
- you knock down 7 out of 10 bowling pins. Then you change strategy, why?
In season 2 a lot of of the other contestants were "smart" -
- and they kind of cheated and thought: We can just get Mark to bring stuff over.
So I thought: Hey, I've been a loser once before.
And I don't want to be that again.
It's a good solution. We’ll get back to how long it took.
We need to get back to Eva. How did you come up with that idea?
I don't know, Lasse.
Sometimes my brain is just...
...completely amazingly unique.
- Did she figure it out herself? - Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.
No offense.
When you've had a lot of physics in school and figure out some solutions...
That's the kind of brain I have. And I'm happy as hell about that right now.
Two slightly unorthodox solutions. Can we get some times?
Yes. Taarnhøj had to beat a time of just over 5 minutes.
And you do. 4 minutes and 13 seconds. Wow.
- What about me, Mark? - You apparently have a unique brain.
There's just a small but. We do edit these segments a bit.
Now people can get a look inside the editing room.
Here’s the clip where Eva gets the great idea.
There it is.
There's just another shot with a different camera angle.
What?
How much trash is that on my lawn?
That's the first 70 hopeless throws covering the lawn.
It was kind of the same idea: Keep throwing.
Taarnhøj, you did it in a little more than 4 minutes.
Eva spent the first 28 minutes...
...throwing various things at the bowling pins.
We've cut some things out of Eva's attempt. Why?
It seems a bit unfair to prop you up and then tear you down.
But we don't have the time to show a person -
- just standing and throwing one thing after another out of the shed.
I'm phrasing that a little wrong.
We don't have time to watch two people throwing things out of the shed.
Which brings me to you, Sofie.
My time has started, but I can just grab a bunch of stuff and go on a rampage.
Just throw everything.
Bad.
It’s difficult.
Oh no!
What do I get if I hit a... home run?
Ugh it’s so...
This is going to take a year, Mark.
Okay...I'm so stupid.
Too bad you didn't notice them sooner.
- What's this? - It's cardboard.
What do you think it can be used for?
Build a course. Marky!
If this works out then I'm extremely proud of myself.
- Can you get it for me? - The course works.
- Can you get it for me? - Halfway.
Hey, come on. Come on!
Can you get it for me?
Can I get the ball?
Mark, can you get it for me?
Can I get it? This is completely stupid.
- Can you get it for me? - Yes, of course.
No! Can you get it for me?
I'm sorry. Can you get it for me?
Me and the course are a bit tired.
Oh no!
Fucking...
Mark! It tipped over!
It didn't have any more strength. I didn’t cheat.
- It just couldn't do it anyone. - Congratulations.
Stop the time. What do you think it's going to say?
The last bowling pin lies down out of sheer pity.
"I'll do that, Sofie. I’ll go lie down."
Can I ask you a question?
It's way too long to not talk about the home run bit.
Okay, sports person. What's it called?
Everyone knows that you just win at roundball by shouting uno. [Roundball is basically baseball. The main differences are unlimited number of players can be at the bases and you can only hit the ball out straight back, if it goes out to the sides it’s a foul ball]
Home run? What the fuck?
I have a small request. It's a lot of fun with your little presentations and all that.
But can we just quickly rip the band-aid off? Tell me the time and that’s that.
- Can I guess? - You're welcome to.
I'm saying this without shame. 43 minutes.
I'm going to take your shame... ...and then I'm going to add to it.
- What much time did it take? 2 hours? - 56 minutes.
- How are the points distributed? - Let's guess. Sofie gets 1 point.
Oh my god, that's right. 1 point to Sofie. Then 2 points to Eva.
Warberg gets 3 points. There are 4 points to Linda.
And 5 points to Jacob Taarnhøj.
It remains to be seen whether Jacob Taarnhøj with his 2-point lead -
- can emerge victorious from the the first edition of A Second Chance.
Or will he be overtaken? The final task’s happening right here right now.
Mark. Who's going to read tonight's final task out loud?
Jacob Taarnhøj, you're in the lead. Do you want to read this?
Oh, I'm allowed to do that? Yes, yes. It's a task.
"Follow the Taskmaster's instructions. Most correct result wins."
"The time starts on Mark's signal."
I’ll read the instructions out loud. You must follow them to the letter.
It's all about listening and reacting...quickly.
Shouldn't we just get started?
Put the rubber duck in your left trouser pocket.
Put the onion in your right chest pocket.
Hold the pencil in your right hand.
Put the ping pong ball in your left chest pocket.
Put the keys in your right trouser pocket.
Swap the items in your left trouser pocket and your right hand.
Swap the two items in your chest pockets.
Put the item from right trouser pocket on the table -
- and hold the item from the left trouser pocket in your left hand.
Put the item from right chest pocket in your mouth -
- and the item from the right trouser pocket in the left trouser pocket.
Put the item from the left chest pocket in your right hand -
- and then swap the heaviest item with the lightest item.
Put the item on the table in the right chest pocket -
- and the item in your mouth in the left chest pocket.
Put the item in your right hand in your right trouser pocket and take all the things -
- from your left pockets and swap them with the corresponding right pockets.
Shirt and trousers respectively.
Time’s up.
There is a lot of disagreement about what’s correct.
All the instructions have been given so let's see how it went.
Show what you have in your left hand.
I don't have anything.
Jacob is standing with a pencil. That’s what you’re supposed to have in your left hand -
- after following all instructions.
- What do you have in your right hand? - A pencil.
Warberg and Taarnhøj have nothing in their right hand and that’s correct.
What do you have in your left chest pocket?
- I don't have anything there either. - Nothing.
There's nothing in the left chest pocket?
That's where the keys Should’ve been at this point.
What do you have in your right chest pocket?
- A duck. - I have a ping pong ball.
I don't have anything. Where is all my stuff?
Linda, what was in your right chest pocket? An onion?
That's the correct answer!
What do you have in your left trouser pocket?
- Nothing. - Nothing.
I have it all.
There must be one that's correct.
You should have a rubber duck and a ping pong ball.
That's half right for Jacob Taarnhøj.
What's that?
Is this one correct?
Eva, you had the rubber duck in your right trouser pocket.
- Oh, yeah, that's right. - It shouldn't have been there.
- I don't have anything in the left. - Speaking of right trouser pocket...
- What do you have in your right trouser pocket? - This.
An onion.
It's a bit of a shame, because you should nothing in your right trouser pocket.
I don't... Oh no, I had an onion.
How are the points distributed now?
Eva and Sofie get 1 point. You didn't get anything right.
- Thomas Warberg, you get 3 points. - Wow.
Yeah.
Linda, you get 4 points.
You can feel what it’s leading up to.
Our spearhead is Jacob Taarnhøj. You get 5 points.
There you go. Come here.
While Jacob Taarnhøj celebrates his victory...
If you've just turned in, you've missed it all. Too bad.
Thanks to everyone else.
