What are you scheming?
I got them to agree to lie.
I will save them from dying.
This isn't going to be pretty, but my time is running out.
And the like... Oops!
I'm not the one who has to clean it up.
A very good evening.
We welcome you to watch as our enchanting entertainers compete not only against each other, but also themselves,
as they perform brilliant tasks.
The results are often messier than an average online conversation.
But what is clear is the way I score them: Completely arbitrarily.
I am Jaakko Saariluoma, and this is Suurmestari.
Our regular contestants are: Eero Ritala.
Pamela Tola.
Pirjo Lonka.
Joonas Nordman.
And competing with them today is the delightfully enchanting Viivi Pumpanen.
[Model, Miss Finland 2010, singer, actress]
And here on my left sits a person who never misses a thing.
She is the official referee of the competition: Pilvi Hämäläinen.
Pilvi, what fun can we expect today?
Today we can expect airiness, relationships, and amazing art.
- Amazing art? - Well... art.
That's what I thought. Let's leave that adjective for me to judge.
But let's first find out what we're competing for today. We'll also give out the first points.
The episode prizes are the contestants' personal belongings.
And this time you asked them to bring in as a prize:
The thing you own that the Taskmaster would most like to have for himself.
Ahhh, this is great! Genius! Such an entirely ingenious task!
- It'll be interesting to see what our contestants think I want. - Hmm.
Would you tell us?
- Let's start with Eero. - Yup.
Eero brought a sushi burger mould, because it's something the Taskmaster definitely doesn't have.
And he doesn't. For good reason.
Pamela brought an invitation, addressed to the Taskmaster, for the 2013 Castle Party. [Reception held every Independence Day (Dec. 6) where the President meets many guests of honour]
This is strong! Who doesn't want an invitation to a party that was held 10 years ago?
- [Pirjo] Pretty good. - Pirjo…
Pirjo brought a winning scratch card.
But the prize money amount has not yet been revealed.
How mysterious!
Joonas brought a pillow case with a picture of the Taskmaster printed on it.
For Joonas' sake, I truly hope that he isn't trying to suggest that the Taskmaster is in some way... conceited!
- [Pirjo] Ooh, that's pretty nice. - Viivi…
Viivi brought a mosquito net hat for exploring in the woods.
Viivi herself said: "The Taskmaster surely wants this, since he's so often in the yard."
[idiom, "to be confused". Compare with English "at sea"]
- [Pamela] That's good reasoning. - [Joonas & Pirjo] Wow. Pretty brave.
Very interesting. You even brought some brave items.
Uhhh...
Not a single one of these items was something that I'd want.
- [Viivi & Pamela] Huh? What? - You all get two points for the attempt.
Not even a very good, but a middling attempt.
- [Pamela] Pretty strange. - [Jaakko] However!
However, there are always exceptions.
Pirjo's idea was clever enough to gain her two bonus points.
Because the most basic of urges are the ones that finally speak to us and lead us.
"The most basic of urges are the ones that finally speak to us." Which urge are you referring to?
The lust for money. It's the reason we're all here.
The prize money could just be five euros, as it were.
But... Yes, or!
- You can get a new scratchcard with it. - You can. - [Jaakko] At least. Well done, Joonas.
We can segue to the item you brought.
You would have got the full five points,
had you been brave enough to bring, for example, toilet roll with the same picture.
But as is, you get the same amount of points as the others.
I'll give you one bonus point, because it happens to have my picture on it.
[Pilvi] And I might be interested in that pillow case.
- You're interested in the pillow case? - Yes.
You'll have to negotiate with the winner of the episode, who is unlikely to be Eero Ritala.
Is that a pajatso cup pout? [Arcade game; S05E06 callback]
It's so pitiful that I'll take one point off Eero.
Alright! The game has begun.
There! Anything else, anyone?
Well then, the first points have been allocated.
And let us remind you that the contestant who collects the most points over the series
will get this sought-after golden Taskmaster statue.
And now, let's go to the mansion to see what kind of fun awaits there.
Yay! What kind of lovely letter is waiting for me?
Are you trying to tell me... to get started right away?
"Make a new friend. Introduce your new friend to Pilvi..."
"...and present one piece of evidence of the depth of your friendship."
"You have 15 minutes. The best new friend wins."
"Your time starts now."
What?
A new friend! Make a new friend...
["Hankkia" means "make" as in "acquire", and is not used for "create"]
The contestants were tasked with making a new friend, and presenting evidence of the depth of this new friendship.
Interesting. I'm surprised they even have old friends, but...
- Who do we start with? - Let's start with Eero, Pirjo, and Viivi.
Oh, no...
Hey, now... Help, help!
Fifteen minutes... Make a new friend.
Well... This is my new friend.
Hey, the entire outfit is here.
If... If I...
Could get a tick to attach itself to me... in 15 minutes.
That would be a close friendship.
Not a very healthy one.
Hey... hey, I know. Introduce a new friend.
Who do I call?
You can be my new friend!
We're friends already, but if you wear this, then you're not my friend yet, you're a dino.
Loneliness is my newest friend.
Oh, no!
Darkness... Is my new friend.
Help!
Ella Kanninen. [TV presenter]
This is Pir -- Lonka Pirjo, hi. I don't know if you remember me.
- I'm that actor. - I remember! Pirjo, hi!
I'm in this programme called Suurmestari. Do you know it?
And I have this task. Do you know this programme?
Yeah!
I'm asking you... I'm asking you for help, because we're not friends, but I need to make a friend really quick.
Right, okay…
So... so... Could you be my new friend?
- I can. - Wonderful!
In my body, a new friend.
Well, here was a new friend!
- What? - What are you doing in there? - Wait...
To the kitchen…
Pirjo and I have a deep friendship, because we're connected by a similar sense of humour and outlook on life.
And Pirjo knows whatever I'm thinking from the very first word.
- Awww! - [Viivi] Lovely!
Thank God!
Yes...
Here! Look. Look.
What now?
Alright. I have found a new friend.
And I have evidence of it here.
- [Viivi] Where are you taking that knife? - Lovely dino!
Dino is my new friend.
Let's go.
Pilvi!
I have a new friend!
And our friendship is deep.
And she suddenly agreed to be my friend, and then told me why our friendship is deep: because we have a good, similar sense of humour.
I sent her this message just now:
"Hey, I still need a piece of evidence. Our friendship is deep, isn't it?"
I was hoping she'd manage to reply in time, but I think she's...
This is Dina-Dino.
- Dina-Dino? - Yes.
- Dina-Dino. Hello. - We're really good friends. Look.
- Like this. - Awwww! - Friends hug, and...
Also, Dina has already invited me over.
It's a sign of some kind of friendship, inviting you over.
You can hug anyone, though.
May I introduce... My new... friend?
There are three fruit flies in here.
And as proof of the depth of our friendship...
I will save them from dying.
Okay.
They've all left. Goodbye, my dear friends!
- Those were my new friends. - [Viivi] Such good friends!
- Oh boy. Eero Ritala. - Yeeeeeah.
Or should I say Lord Ritala of the fruit flies?
You should, true! You should, yes.
- And liberator. - Right, liberator. - [Viivi] Exactly.
Pirjo, what was the connection between you and Ella?
A similar sense of humour. And friendship!
- Good friendship. - Yeah.
This time, I did the task exactly as it read.
- You did. You did it exactly as it read. - Yes. I did it entirely by the book.
[Jaakko] Good Lord. Don't shoot me, now!
Well, do you have some kind of proof of this friendship?
My phone.
But she never replied with the message that you said she was going to.
Yes-yes, but... Uhhhh...
Friends don't keep... We'll pick up from where we left off.
[Pilvi] Ah, I see.
[Pirjo] I have many reasons. We don't have to...
[Jaakko] Ay ay.
Ay ay. Thank you.
We'll pick up after the break from where we left off. See you soon.
Welcome back.
Before the break, we saw how our contestants made new friends in fifteen minutes.
We still have Joonas' and Pamela's attempts left to see.
And here are both of them.
Let's go have a look. We get to go driving again!
Dang, I can only hope that there's someone nearby somewhere.
I just really have to hope that there are some people around.
Hey! There!
Those are happy-looking ladies.
I'm feeling pulled towards... Yes! Look, see.
Here, here's someone already.
Hey, excuse me! Excuse me, ma'am!
- Hi, excuse me. - Hi. - I'm Joonas Nordman.
- And, well, we're making this programme nearby called Suurmestari. - Yeah?
And I was given this task... Hi!
- I need to make a friend in 15 minutes and introduce them to Pilvi. - Right.
And give some kind of proof that, um... that we're friends.
So, uhhh... One of you could be my new friend.
Or, of course, if I could get the both of you, and you could introduce yourself as my new friend? And, well...
I'm a Swedish speaker, so... I might speak Finnish poorly. [Finland is officially bilingual]
That's okay!
Vi kan tala lite svenska också. Vi är kompisar. [We can talk a little Swedish, too. We are friends.]
- Now I have three. And I would record it on my phone camera. - Yeah, sounds good.
- So... I'm Joonas, what's your name? - I'm Suski, hi. - Suski.
- Sanni. - Suski and Sanni and...
- Nemo. - Nemo. Okay. Good.
Would it be okay with you if we took a photo? Like a group... friendship photo.
- Viveca... - And Nero. - And Nero.
And could we be like this?
- Excellent. Hey, huge thanks! - Nice to be of help.
"It was nice to get to know you. My love to Rocky the dog."
- And could you also... - And scratches.
Scratches. And could you also write: "Best, your new friend."
Hey, thanks, awesome.
- Alright! Listen! - Have you found a new friend?
- I have! In fact, I found two. - Oh? - Two new friends.
- Alright... - Hi! - Hi!
Did you find a friend?
Yeah, I have a video.
Hi! Hi, Pilvi!
I bumped into some old friends here in the Soukka area.
Here's Suski, and here's Sanni, and here's Nemo the dog.
Pictoral evidence. So here's Viveca.
A new do... a person, but like a dog person.
And then there's Nero.
- Viveca and Nero. - Yeah.
From her, I got...
It says, "It was nice to get to know you! My love to your dog Rocky!"
"Scratches." And "Best, your new friend Viveca."
- Well, it sounds like the start of a friendship to me. - Right.
See you again! Yeah. I'll have to jog here more often.
I don't have a dog right now, but maybe I'll get one.
- Right, yes! - Yes. Cool. Bye!
- Thank you, Joonas. - Thank you.
- What did you get them to do? - Lie. I claimed we've known each other for a long time.
Joonas Nordman.
So your new friends were pretending to be old friends, to make the friendship deep, even though they were your "new" friends.
- Right. - Could you explain the logic? - Yeah.
So, as everyone could see from the tape, we hit it off immediately. And I'd never met them before.
I think it's a sign of friendship, that it was as if we'd always known each other. And that's where we went.
It was so powerful, it was almost like a whole history was created between us.
That's a little implausible.
It's not implau...!
Your movies are implausible.
- [Pirjo] What a burn! - [Pamela] Pulled out the big guns.
Besides, there's no lie there, when everyone saw the process.
- We saw the process, yeah. - Right.
But that's true, sometimes hitting it off with someone just completely sweeps you away.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
From sweeping away, we go to Pamela.
It's an intriguing... Did you tell your friend, word for word, what to write on that paper?
- No, I... - Or did it come from your friend spontaneously, like "This is what I want to write"?
Answer honestly. Look me in the eyes when you answer.
Okay. I'll admit that I steered.
But she wrote herself, for example, "scratches".
And we actually set up a dog date, too. To go for a walk together.
Despite the steering, it was an attempt made with piety, in that you went through all of the formal steps.
- Pamela gets five points. - Yes! Wohoo!
Pirjo gets four points, and this is strongly influenced by her strong squatting posture.
How shameful.
Joonas gets three points.
But... However... This was...
You were so unlike the civil servant in the studio just now, and so convincingly convincing, that you get one bonus point.
Thank you. Thank you.
[Pamela] But you really made a friend!
Two points for Viivi, and that second point comes just for mentioning roleplay, which somehow...
- Okay. - Go, Viivi!
And Eero...
You get one point.
But...
That line, "Loneliness is my new friend".
That got you one bonus point.
- Thank you. - [Pamela] Go, Eero! - [Viivi] That was good.
Then, of course, if you love something, set it free.
You didn't love those flies, so I'm not giving you any points for that.
However! We have more points on offer. Let's go to the mansion for the next task.
- Hello, hello! - Hello.
- A question. - Help.
Two metres, or twenty centimetres?
- Two metres. - Two... metres.
- I'll have twenty centimetres. - Twenty centimetres.
I'll have the two metres.
Tw... Two met... Two... Two metres.
Oh, no.
So... Ah, this.
"Paint a picture of the Taskmaster while lying on your back."
"Your work must portray the Taskmaster while emphasising the two strongest characteristics of his persona."
"You will paint from the distance you chose a moment ago."
Of course!
"You have 20 minutes."
"You must lay on your back on the creeper throughout the entire attempt."
Don't, don't, don't. Please don't give the signal yet.
On my back!
Your time starts...
The contestants were tasked with painting a picture of the Taskmaster while lying on their backs.
The painting had to portray the Taskmaster while accentuating the two strongest characteristics of his persona.
The contestants had to paint from the distance they chose themselves.
Now we're getting down to business.
- Who do we start with? - Let's start with Eero, Pamela, and Joonas.
Right. Let's put this on first.
Are you currently lying down on that creeper?
I see. I'm not.
Two characteristics, wasn't it?
Pilvi, could you act as my muse, and sing something?
What would you like me to sing?
Something sentimental.
No way.
I think I might take a surrealistic approach.
Instead of going for representative art.
Because that would be so obvious.
I'll let my subconscious bring... Bring the... umm...
I started with a Gallen-Kallela-esque realism, [1865-1931; culturally very important to Finland]
but I'd say that we're probably going to end up with more of a Picasso.
The Taskmaster likes to spend his evenings enjoying a fine drink,
so in the mornings, his nose is a bit red.
- [Viivi] What?! - And he's a little blue, because he
bumped into a bathroom wall at night, after falling asleep.
The hands reflect a physical essence.
And here on the other side is...
The Taskmaster's sort of... all of his spiritual capital, and...
And the like... Oops!
Argh... Oh, fuc...
And now I'm messing up the... Dammit.
How much...?
- How much time is left? - One minute 15 seconds.
A wound on his face.
- Time's up. - Oh. Yes.
- Oh! - Oops.
It almost came down. Alright.
Well, that was like a good, final brush stroke of an artist.
Time's up.
Do I get to explain this any further?
We'll talk more about it in the studio.
That's what I was afraid of. Alright!
I await with interest to see these paintings.
Pamela, did you at any point wait for Pilvi to give the signal for the task to start?
But luckily, my artistry is so enormous, that maybe small trifles like those...
Say again, what was your artistry like?
- Enormous. - Well, we'll see soon enough.
Can we see Pamela's work of art?
Here is Pamela's artwork.
- [Joonas] It looks good. - [Viivi] It's good! - [Pirjo] It is.
[Jaakko] Yes, of course, in a certain way. There are so many kinds of artistry.
- Exactly. - Is there a surrealistic angle?
There is. Here's your dark sides, and then the light sides. The battle between good and evil.
- What's the blue circle? - It's his head.
Thank you.
Next. Should we see what kind of work Joonas produced?
Yes. Here is Joonas' work of art.
[Joonas] Damn, those muscles!
And such intelligent thoughts!
[Pamela] That's pretty good!
It is. It has a kind of... You talked about Picasso, so this might be something like a Great Depression-era Picasso.
Right, or rather, I'd say that we veered slightly back towards realism.
Picasso was... At some point, I thought that this would have gone slightly more surrealistic.
- It's not quite as angular as Picasso. - [Joonas] Cubistic, is it? - Yeah. A Cubistic frustration.
What are the two characteristics that this shows? In your opinion.
Strength and intellect. In other words, both mental and physical power.
Next. Can we look at Eero Rital... Artist Eero Rital... Or let's just say Eero Ritala's work.
[Pilvi] Eero Ritala's work of art looks like this.
- [Joonas] That's good too. - [Pamela] It's rather... - [Joonas] It looks good.
What are the two characteristics, exactly, that you think are...
Of course, I have my own interpretation... But which are the strongest?
Um, well... Clearly, there's... Uhh...
As a creative person, you can pull two characteristics out of a hat, so we can move on.
Let's continue in the hat department. So, strong hair, and... uhh...
The green mouth means that… that...
Nature is present when you speak.
- [Pamela] What? - [Viivi] Good one.
Such strong characteristics that Artist Ritala has drawn...
Excuse me. That Ritala has drawn on there.
Whew. Thank you. Some fine works of art.
At this point, we must take a small break, but we'll see two more works of art after that.
Welcome back. This is Suurmestari.
Before the break, we saw how Eero, Joonas, and Pamela drew a picture of the Taskmaster from a distance of their choosing.
We still haven't seen Viivi's and Pirjo's works of art.
We'll follow Viivi's and Pirjo's painting processes now.
- It's started now, hasn't it? - Yes.
The two strongest characteristics of the Taskmaster...
Great tenderness when giving points, and...
I'll accentuate...
The hair.
Let's accentuate that.
There...
Oops!
That started off well.
And then, he has blue eyes, doesn't he?
Oops!
Thanks...
Hey! What's this?
How should we deal with this? If that falls on me now, then...
I'll be adding multiple things now. So there are...
These kind of wispy things...
How did you even manage to do this?
Quite well.
Look... Oops. He got a double chin!
I'm sorry!
I'll ruin it if I put anything more on. Let's not clog it up.
- I'll stop. It's finished. - Got it. Thank you, Pirjo.
That's that!
Thank you, Viivi.
Thank you, Pilvi.
You may leave.
Wait a moment. Bye... bye!
- Let's talk more... - [Loud banging noise]
[Banging noises continue]
I stayed on my back! The whole way... down.
Viivi, we probably forgot to tell you that the stairs were right there.
Yeah...
You forgot to mention it. But I stayed on my back the whole way through.
- Let's see Viivi's work of art. - Yeah. Viivi's work of art looks like this.
- [Joonas] It's good! - [Pamela] It's really good. - [Pirjo] It is.
There's something... There's something good about it.
Will you tell us what the two characteristics are? If you say two chins, then...
- Forget about that! Just forget... - Unfortunately, it isn't...
That looks just like Mikael Jungner. [Finnish politician]
True! Oops!
- [Joonas] You accidentally made it... - That's...
That's actually like Mikael Jungner playing the Joker.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Then. Pirjo.
When you finished working, you said, "I'll stop now, so that this work of art won't get clogged up."
- Yes. - So let's see Pirjo's work of art.
Yeah. Pirjo's work of art looks like this.
[Jaakko] So, where was the danger of it clogging up?
All over.
This was just what I inten... I've succeeded once again.
This is…
No, see, this time I have... It also has...
Maybe for the first time I have... The arrows are there to point at the characteristics.
- So that... - What are they? - Well...
Right, now she shouldn't have to tell us, since the arrows point them out.
- Right, it's totally clear now. - Is it?
Pilvi, was there anything to point out about the attempts?
Yes…
So, they were supposed to lay on their backs throughout the attempt.
And as we saw, almost everyone broke that rule at some point.
The ones to keep their backs on the creeper the best were Eero and Viivi.
Yes!
First, thank you for the drawings, and also for the good and the clumsy excuses.
You all get three points.
But I'll give Pamela an extra point, because the picture was so damn good.
And for the explanation of the black and white. You put some effort into it.
Thank you.
- That's it for the points for this task. - [Eero] Arrgh. - [Pirjo] Ah. Yeah.
Good job. Let's go back to the mansion for the next task.
Why aren't you giggly?
"Get as many different items as possible into the air at the same time."
"You have 10 minutes to prepare, after which you have one attempt..."
"...to get the items into the air at the same time."
"The best attempt wins. Your time starts now."
Okay. So I have 10 minutes now.
Actually, I'll keep this. Thanks.
The contestants were tasked with getting as many different items as possible into the air at the same time.
They had only one attempt to get them into the air.
- Great. After that heavy art conversation, something a little lighter. - Yes.
- Who do we start with? - Let's start with Pamela, Pirjo, and Eero.
In the air at the same time... Okaaay...
Uhh... Right. I'll go over here.
Yeeeeeah. Yep. My first thought is a catapult.
Gotcha! I shall go off and get lots of things.
As small as possible! Hee hee hee!
I can bounce it from there.
Ten items in the air. Okay.
- Ten? - Ten. - Why ten?
As many DIFFERENT items as possible.
Right. Exactly. Right. Yes, alright. Good!
Right. Yes.
As many DIFFERENT items as possible.
This isn't going to be pretty, but my time is running out.
So at the same time, I'll start using the other half of my brain to...
Figure out where to throw these from.
- [Joonas] Good. - [Eero in task] Great.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Ten! Alright!
- Where did I get the ten from? What is this? - I have ten items in here now.
I have all kinds here.
- I'm so confused! - [Pamela in task] There's space for more.
If I didn't somehow misinterpret this task, then I think I succeeded.
They're all different items, too.
Alright. Attempt.
- Thirty seconds. - Okay.
Let this work. Ah!
No way!
It's just like jumping into cold water.
- And it goes into the air… - [Pilvi] Help? - No. - [Viivi] Help!
- Now. - [Viivi] No! No! Help!
Maybe the slow-mo will show that it rose just a bit. They all went up a bit.
- Thank you, Eero. - [Viivi] The other side went up a bit.
Ay ay. Pamela...
Pamela, do you feel as though you gave your all in this task?
For example, regarding reading comprehension.
I checked the task wording multiple times.
Yes. That's why I'm asking.
I think we've had different tasks.
We must've. Because I can read, after all. "Ten items."
Well, even if it said ten items, you still read aloud as many different ones as possible.
Yes, I read it, and I thought I did it correctly.
You read it, but you did a different task than the one you read.
How is that possible?
Right, a lot of people are asking how it was possible.
I was even thinking that it was such an incredibly boring task.
- [Pamela] And easy. - At least it lead to a fun conversation.
We've reviewed the slow-mos. Pilvi, what were their results?
- Pamela got ten different items into the air. - [Viivi] No way!
But they were in the air! They were in the air, unlike Eero's!
- It's still a whole ten. That's all the fingers. - Yes, exactly! That many.
- [Pilvi] All the ones you tried for. - Right.
Eero's catapult had 51 items,
but they didn't get in the air.
Pirjo got 446 items in the air,
but there were 80 different items.
- That's quite... - Quite a lot! - That's really good, I think! - Well done, Pirjo! Nice!
- Eighty items. You clearly went for quantity. - Yes.
I'll accept this, I'll accept this. Yeah. I'll believe it.
That's good that you accept it, so we can continue.
[Pirjo] Yes. I... Yeah.
Right. There we had items in the air, from the tens to over four hundred.
Now we'll go for a small break, and then we'll see two more attempts.
Welcome back. This is Suurmestari.
Before the break, we saw how Pamela, Eero, and Pirjo attempted to get as many different items into the air at the same time as possible.
We still have two attempts left.
We'll see both Joonas' and Viivi's attempts next.
You hold that for a moment.
Ten minutes to prepare. There's the shed.
Getting items into the air... It's enough for them to be in the air for only a moment.
It's... It's just like that. Well, then…
I already have twenty of these small balls here, and...
This may get pretty messy, but...
I'm not the one who has to clean it up.
I'll be nice and take things that won't create some kind of catastrophe.
Things that won't create a body count when they land.
Alright.
N, O, W, now!
Ohhh, now I get it.
Well, no can do. Thank you.
[Pilvi] Thank you, Joonas.
One, two, three...
There!
- Thank you, Viivi. - Thank you, Pilvi!
Oops!
Viivi, is this the most amount of things you've ever thrown off a balcony?
- It is. - [Jaakko] It is. - It definitely is.
There was a countless amount of things there... wasn't there?
There were quite a lot of them, yes.
But Pilvi, what were the results?
- Joonas' result was a total of 277 items... - But...
- Out of which 37 were different. - [Joonas] Don't worry. - [Pirjo] Right.
- [Viivi] Harsh! - [Pilvi] Viivi's result...
Was 407 items.
Out of which... 38 were different.
The points are allocated based on how many different items were in the air.
Pirjo gets five points.
- Viivi four points, Joonas three. - Yay!
- Pamela two, and Eero one point. - [Viivi] Yay!
[Viivi] Go, gang! Good, good, great.
But Pamela, you get an extra point,
for being the only one whose items were all different, with no extras.
Thank you! Thank you.
Thanks to all of you for this exhilarating task.
Pilvi, who's in the lead at the moment?
Currently leading on the scoreboard is...
Pirjo!
- [Pamela] Wow! - [Joonas & Viivi] Go, Pirjo!
But Pirjo hasn't won the episode yet, as we still have one task left.
The final task. Get ready.
Pilvi, what is the final task?
Today's final task requires nerves of steel.
Viivi! Please read the task out loud.
"Put on the clothes that are in the bag."
"The shirt must be worn with at least three buttoned buttons."
"And the tie must be around your neck."
"Best attempt wins. Your time starts from the Taskmaster's signal."
- Are you ready? - [Everyone] Yes!
Let's start... now!
- [Viivi] Hey! - [Pirjo] Hey, [BLEEP]! Excuse me?!
[Pirjo] Alrighty! Alrighty!
[Viivi] Look…
[Pirjo] Hey, now! Hey, now!
I'm standing on it so you can't take it!
- [Viivi] Good Lord, this is tight! So icy and tight! - [Eero] It's wet! It's wet, why is it wet?
Why are these buttons so... tight?!
It's FROZEN!
[Viivi] Was it three buttons, or...?
- There. - Like that.
- Okay... - Sweet revenge! Go get it!
- Get… Oops! - I'm okay, I'm okay!
- You're not in your spot! - Yeah, yeah...
READY! READY!
I'M READY!
- Ready...! - [Viivi] Ready!
- I'm ready! - [Pirjo] Help! - [Pamela] Ready!
Yeah...
- [Pirjo] I'm right here! - Ready!
I can't breathe!
Are you ready, Eero?
Eero shouted "ready".
Thanks to you all for playing fair.
Pirjo, you were the first to shout "ready."
Because I was ready.
- Your head was never through the shirt. - Yes, but it... Where...
This is another one of those things!
Why should it have been? I could see with one eye the whole time.
I would go out dressed like that! For me, that was on. Exactly like that. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
- I'd also like to express that, like when the youths wear baggy pants, so to say... - [Pirjo] Exactly!
- I was wearing a baggy shirt. - [Viivi] Aah!
For me, it was the opposite! I wore it tighter.
Those excuses were very clumsy.
So, the points go according to who was the fastest, since everyone got three buttons buttoned.
- Viivi, five points. - Yessss!
Pamela, four points. Joonas, three points.
And Eero and Pirjo, two points.
- [Pirjo] Hey, now! - [Pamela] You got two!
[Eero] Pirjo, two. Two is good.
- I would've worn this shirt like this, but they didn't let me! - [Jaakko] Yeah...
Now, then. An extremely interesting question is in the air once again.
Which one of these enchanting contestants won this episode?
After all of the tasks...
The one to collect the most points was...
Not just one, but two people!
A double win for Pirjo and Pamela!
It can't be! Yes!
[Jaakko] Congratulations, Pirjo and Pamela. Go ahead and enjoy your prizes.
Thank you to all the contestants. Thank you, Viivi Pumpanen.
And thank you to all viewers. This has been Suurmestari.
