I'll be a meme forever, if I do this now.
Wait, what what?!
- That doesn't sound dangerous. - It doesn't.
A very good evening. I am Jaakko Saariluoma, and this is the Suurmestari finale episode.
Today we will find out who will rise as the winner of the series, and therefore amongst legends.
And who will get this immeasurably valuable golden Suurmestari statue.
The stakes are high, so let's get to it. Welcome!
Our regular contestants are: Eero Ritala.
Pamela Tola.
Pirjo Lonka.
And Joonas Nordman.
And today they'll be competing with the fantastic Elias Salonen.
[Actor, mostly TV]
And on my left side is the five-time Finnish champion of error detection.
The official referee: Pilvi Hämäläinen.
Pilvi, what can we expect from today?
Today we can expect fame, and big eruptions.
But! Let's first find out what we're competing for in this episode.
In addition to this golden head. Would you remind me a little?
The episode prizes are the contestants' personal belongings.
This time you asked them to bring in as a prize:
The best thing to wear on your head, even though you shouldn't wear it on your head.
- Alright. Was I this brilliant, once again, for the finale? - Mmhmm.
A great task. Fantastic. What did they bring?
Let's start with Elias.
Elias brought a neck tie.
A good old Christmas party classic.
It doesn't belong on your head; it's really funny.
["Juise" likely refers to singer Juice Leskinen]
- Clearly they didn't appreciate this one. - They didn't!
Joonas brought a too-tight tricot beanie.
According to Joonas, no one at all should wear it on their heads. Not anyone.
No explanations required.
Eero brought a sleep mask, with the reasoning:
"You should wear it over your eyes, but I wear it on my head."
Apparently Eero thinks that eyes are not a part of the head.
And Pamela's fun thing that doesn't belong on your head is Christmas lights.
Because wearing them makes Pamela remember her time as Saint Lucia in school. The Martyr Lucia is always funny.
[PAUSE TO READ] Saint Lucy's Day is celebrated every December 13 with a procession. She is always portrayed wearing a wreath of candles and carrying food.
And lastly, Pirjo's thing that is the most fun to wear on your head even though it shouldn't be worn on your head is...
Glasses.
Yes. Glasses.
- Pirjo, my heart just skipped a beat. - I'm not surprised. This is...
So, could you explain this a bit? Glasses?
This is once again that famous common sense, which I've been using this whole time.
- [Jaakko] Alright, let's hear it. - If people were meant to wear glasses, we would be born with them.
Just like a hat, or, or, or, or, a beanie. Or anything at all that isn't... essential.
But that's not what the task was!
- [Pirjo] That's how I understood it. - [Eero] That's just how we do things. - [Jaakko] You understanding it like that doesn't make it the task.
Oh boy. Now I'm supposed to be able to score these, somehow.
I'll give everyone a middling three points for trying.
- [Pamela] That's good! It's a good start. - [Pirjo] It's good.
But I'll give Pamela and Elias an extra point for bringing items that aren't actually meant to be worn on your head.
- A necktie and Christmas lights. - Good! Here we go.
And I'll give Joonas one extra point for honouring the finale
by dressing up as both a bus driver and a bellboy.
Thanks! Yes, I have a double shift today.
[Jaakko] Okay!
After I take the bus to the depot, I'll go carry suitcases at Hotel Kämp.
- Right. A fun evening ahead. - Yeah, a long one.
There we have the first points. And one of them gets this golden Suurmestari statue as the winner of the series.
But we have a long way yet to go. Let's go to the mansion for the first task.
- Oops! - Lovely weather.
Ah, it's so warm here.
Do you have the task?
The task is somewhere...
Hey! Ha-ha-ha!
Goddamnit, I'm such a...
"Sit on a cake."
"Fastest wins."
"Your time starts now."
- Sit on a cake... - On a cake, on a cake... - On a cake!
Wait, what what?!
The contestants were tasked with sitting on a cake as fast as possible.
[Jaakko] "Wait, what what?!" On a cake?
[Pilvi] On a cake!
Whose attempt do we start with?
- We'll start with Elias, Eero, Pirjo, and Joonas. - Alright! I can't wait.
I'm really... I'm coming up empty.
There's a clue in here somewhere.
No...
Is there no cake here? Do you know if they've brought any cake here?
I haven't seen it, at least.
Are we supposed to cook a cake, too? [he means "bake"]
Sit on a cake... I can't just start making a cake.
Wait, was it sit or shit on a cake?
Hey! A-ha-ha! Lookie here.
Surprisingly, there's flour in the cupboard.
- [Pamela] A sponge! What?! - No!
This'll do.
- Ew, fuc...! - No, no!
No!! What? That's not a cake!
People know about vendace cock, but not vendace cake. ["Muikkukukko" = "vendace rooster", fish baked in bread]
The Ritala Special. ["Muikkukukko" = "vendace rooster", fish baked in bread]
I have a change of clothes over there. I'll just do it really quickly, so...
Time's up!
Duzaa!
Now, if there was a fancy cake in here somewhere for us to find, I'll just say...
- [Pamela] You found it! What the hell? - [Joonas] I did. - [Elias] What in the world?
I'll be a meme forever, if I do this now. Are you recording? I don't want to sit on this!
- No! Are you taking your pants...? - You did it bare-assed?
[Pamela] Noooo!
Thank you, Elias.
[Pamela] No! Help!
I was wearing new Nikes!
You do understand, Elias, that you will never get work in the food industry after this?
- Or possibly any other work! - That's what I've been worried about for the past three months.
And I suspect that no filming crew will allow you anywhere near the catering...
- That may be, yeah. - Without supervision.
You said that you'd be surprised if anyone was faster.
I was so sure there wasn't... That you'd have to bake one, because there wasn't a cake there.
Yes, but you didn't bake one. It was a raw cake.
But it was kind of like baking, when I was whisking.
- So, whisking ingredients is baking? - That's how I've understood it.
You've understood many other things in your own way as well.
Pirjo, you had a paper filter filled with some kind of goo.
We're living in the modern world. A raw cake is still a cake.
It is truly, seriously, a cake.
Raw cake may be cake, but that was a paper filter with goo inside.
- Hey, now... - And also, it didn't have any eggs.
At home, I make... This is just... It's like a muffin cup, just a bit bigger.
So, if I pour a cup of viili on a table and top it with lingonberries, is it a cake? [fermented milk product, similar to yoghurt]
That's what the cake masters in the world out there would do.
I think... I just hope...
- And my understanding of the task and its execution were definitely... - [Jaakko] Yeah.
You should be happy that I accept all of them as cakes. So it's the times that matter.
What were their times?
Joonas' time was 3 minutes, 22 seconds.
Elias', 4 minutes 21 seconds, Pirjo's, 4 minutes 31 seconds.
And Eero's... 1 minute 22 seconds.
We still have one attempt left to see, that being Pamela's cake-sitting.
And we'll see it after the break. See you soon.
Welcome back, this is the Suurmestari finale episode.
Before the break, we saw how Eero, Elias, Joonas, and Pirjo attempted to sit on a cake as fast as possible.
We still haven't seen how Pamela solved it.
And we'll see Pamela's cake show now.
- [Pamela] What? - [Pirjo] Hey, yeah. Alright. - [Joonas] Oh, look. Brilliant.
Don't be a bad cake, be a good cake!
[Chant to keep "sand cakes" from crumbling]
[Pirjo] Yeah...
- That's a kind of cake, too. - Thank you, Pamela. - Yes.
- Pamela Tola. - Yes. - That was inspired.
You didn't mess up your clothes, and your time was probably pretty good too, wasn't it, Pilvi?
Yes. Her time was pretty good.
Pamela's time was 1 minute, 21 seconds.
- [Pilvi] The best time. - [Elias] And you didn't even run.
You might have been faster than...
[Pilvi] One second faster.
NO! NO!
- YES! Woohoo! - No!
No!
[Pamela] Eero, sit back down.
It was my waffling whether to do it bare-assed or not.
- [Pilvi] One second. - You shouldn't have thought about it. Should've pulled an Elias and done it bare.
One second!
Then, the points for this.
Pamela, five points.
Joonas, three points.
Eero, you should get four points due to your speed, but I can't accept that a tin of vendace topped with whipped cream is a cake.
You get two points.
And Pirjo, one point.
In addition, I'll give Joonas an extra point for the most cake-looking cake, other than the sand cake.
And I'm giving Elias an extra point. I'm sure everyone knows what for.
And Eero Ritala, you probably have something on your mind.
It sure looks like you have something to say. Would you care to open up?
- I would! - Go ahead. Go ahead.
I had hoped that the Taskmaster would have rewarded me for being innovative,
and for introducing new flavours, just like Elias did.
And you can't claim to know that there isn't a municipality somewhere in Finland whose traditional dish is vendace cake.
I can't claim that, but both yours and Elias' products had flavours I wouldn't want to taste.
Surely you both understand why?
I understand. Yeah, okay. Yeah, keep your...
- Can we keep going? - Let's keep going, yeah, yeah.
- Should you try the pouty lips? - "Should you try the..." - [Pirjo] Hey, now...!
- This is starting to get to the point where... - [Eero] It's the finale. It's the finale.
Pamela... I'm taking a point off you. You went after Eero's physical appearance.
[Pamela] Hey!
And so we have allocated the points for this task. But how's the scoreboard? Who's leading in the finale episode?
The points situation is neck and neck.
Good. It'll change soon. Let's go to the mansion to attack the next task.
- Hello! - Hello.
Oops. Couldn't open it in one.
What?
"Make... Make Pil..."
"Make Pilvi's knee..."
"...look like a famous person."
"The Taskmaster will try to guess who it is."
What? "The best attempt wins."
"You have 12 minutes. Your time starts now."
I'll make sure to pace myself again.
The contestants were tasked with making my knee look like a famous person, so that the Taskmaster would be able to guess who it is.
How do we start unpacking this task, Pilvi?
Well, let's start with Pamela's and Joonas' attempts.
Which knee shall we look at first? Your knee, of course, but which work of art?
Well, let's look first at Joonas' work of art. On my knee.
Alright. And now I'm supposed to guess... ["Jyrki Boy" is a song]
- "Guess?" - Know. - Exactly!
Joonas, I'm slightly disappointed that you put that speech bubble there.
That you underestimated my intelligence. Based on the picture.
- Distinguished Sir Taskmaster... - Go on then.
- That's not it. - What?
That's not it. We must remember that the common person, the general public, watches this.
- The mortals. - The mortals.
Even they must keep up when watching this programme. And the time...
You see, this was so quickly solved, and I had so much time left that I thought... It might be forgotten...
So, I thought that I'd make a small addition like that.
Oh, the way you wriggled out of this situation!
Yes, you have the makings of a politician.
This is, of course, Juice Leskinen. [Iconic singer (1950-2006)]
- [Eero] Good job. - [Pilvi] Yes.
- Should it be Pamela next? - Yes. Let's see Pamela's work of art.
This is pretty referential, so to say.
Hey, watch it! Someone had stolen the markers.
Someone stole the markers. Of course. But you found scissors and cardboard.
My thinking is that the arms are so emphasised...
That even though the hair is completely different...
- It's Käärijä. - Yes! - [Pilvi] Yes. [Finland's Eurovision 2023 singer]
After these knees, we'll take a small break, and afterwards,
we'll have a look at three more works of art made on Pilvi's knee. See you soon.
[CONTEXT] Finland and Russia are neighbouring countries with a complicated history. If you didn't know that, Eero's knee drawing will seem really random (and dated).
Welcome back, this is the Suurmestari finale episode.
The contestants were tasked with making Pilvi's knee a famous person.
Before the break, we saw Joonas' and Pamela's attempts.
And we still have Eero's, Pirjo's, and Elias' left.
Pilvi, whose knee... We're looking at your knee, but whose work of art should we look at first?
Let's look at, say, Eero's first.
Eero's kn... work of art.
Whoever might it be?
It's definitely someone Finnish.
- Gorbachev. - Nice. Nice. - [Elias] What?! [Russian politician (1931-2022), distinctive birthmark]
- Should Pirjo be next? - Yes. Let's look at Pirjo's knee art. - [Eero] Let's!
I don't... I have to be honest here. I have no idea who this is.
- But hey... Could I, just a little... - [Joonas] May I guess? - Well, good grief...
Well, if... Yes, of course.
A young Kekkonen had round glasses like that. [Finnish President from 1956-1982]
I could have said Kekkonen straightaway, but the tin foil... [Finnish President from 1956-1982]
- It's there to hold the white napkin. - But it's part of the work!
I can't assume that it's there to hold the napkin.
It makes me think it's Juhan af Grann or someone like that. [UFO/conspiracy theorist]
- Yeah. Let's go to Elias. - Yes. Elias' work of art is here.
- [Pamela] Is that blood on his feet? - [Elias] Hey... - [Pirjo] Hey, don't start...
- It's very difficult to make anything out. - The photo's been taken from a bad angle.
- You can't see what's on his shoulder. - What does he have?
- Am I allowed to say? - You may tell us what's on the shoulder, since we can't see it in the photo.
There's... um... There's... a dog. [Lennu the dog (2011-2021) went viral in 2017]
- Was that supposed to help us out? - Mmhmm.
[Pilvi] There's some text there as well...
- I don't remember the text. - Yes, it says "RIP."
But I'll tell you that it doesn't look anything like Niinistö, if that's who you were going for. [Finnish President from 2012–2024]
- That's who I was going for. - Yes, but I got it from the dog and the roller skates.
[PAUSE] Elias is likely referencing Itsevaltiaat, a political satire cartoon that portrayed Niinistö as always roller-skating and smoking.
- He looks like a zombie! - A zombie?! - It looks like some kind of living dead.
- Or a drunken hobo. - He had a cigarette, too.
I thought it looked like Martti Syrjä after binge-drinking. [Lead singer of the rock band Eppu Normaali]
In which case, the roller skates misled me.
The points are allocated as follows:
Everyone get three points for a good try.
- Okay, okay. - I'll accept it.
Eero, Pamela, and Joonas get an extra point, because I recognised theirs.
And Elias and Pirjo get a point taken off, because I didn't recognise theirs.
[Jaakko] So that's two...
- Two for you, and four for everyone else. - [Elias] Okay.
- [Pirjo] This is... - [Eero] That went well.
What's the situation in this finale episode? Who's leading in the episode scores?
The scoreboards are very even at the moment.
We have two people in the lead:
- Joonas and Pamela! - Good job!
Wow! Yes!
- [Joonas] Conservative. Uptight. - [Pirjo] Yes! [He seems to be referring to Jaakko's scoring]
Joonas and Pamela. Joonas, who suddenly turned into a very cheery and happy person.
But how will this turn out? Let's go to the mansion for the next task.
Let's goooo.
"Build a volcano. You have 10 minutes to design a volcano blueprint." Huh?
Help.
"You then have 12 minutes to build a volcano."
"The best and most functional volcano wins. Your planning time starts now."
So, it's different from a bonfire.
- Good clarification. - That was a good clarification, yeah.
The contestants were tasked with designing and then building a volcano based on their blueprint.
And yes, Elias. It's different from a bonfire.
How shall we move forward?
Let's first watch how the whole gang fared with designing the volcano.
A volcano...
- A volcano... - I'll be smart about this, and start thinking simply.
In my opinion, a volcano is... like...
It has an element that's actually liquid or sort of goo-like.
That is, like, lava.
Smegma. Or... what was it?
Well, we're calling it smegma now.
We need a hole here.
How will this start...?
It's good to get some inspiration from nature.
And we'll need, like... "net scissors." [Not a word - she means metal cutting scissors]
What are they called? "Iron scissors." Something like that.
I want coloured lights.
Fist... okay. Fist-sized... um... For example, sauna stones.
Is it dangerous to start, um... heating up paint with a lighter?
- That doesn't sound dangerous. - It doesn't.
Some tourists, so I need LEGO men.
A dragon. Where do I get a drag... I'm not going to construct a dragon.
Something that, when I press it with my hand, the product will come out.
As in, lava.
Well, that's looking good. It's finished. Duze!
- Time's up. - Yeah.
Am I allowed to light a fire anywhere I want?
Oh, how I'd like to watch these get built.
But actually, I'm more interested in the end results.
Can we start straight from the end results?
Yeah. Let's start with Pamela's volcano.
Right. We've gathered the things you said you needed to build a volcano.
You now have 12 minutes to build it. And your time starts now.
Thank you, thank you. Alright.
It's pretty promising. A volcano is basically open.
I probably won't... Oops. Oops.
...definitely ignite.
Yes, now it's properly catching fire. Oooh!
- [Pirjo] Hey! - [Pamela in task] Ta-dah!
[Pamela] Wow.
It does look quite a lot like a volcano. It has ash and everything.
[Pilvi] Yes. Thank you, Pamela.
- Thank you. - You may leave.
- [Elias] That was good. Damn good. - [Pirjo] Simple. Good. - [Pamela] It did have fire and...
Pamela. Pamela. Was it wrapped in tin foil so the volcano would stay warm for longer, or why was it?
No, it was the volcano, since it's... sort of greyish. And then I threw glue and ash on.
- Loud and clear. - It had all that.
What then? Who's next?
Should we see Elias' volcano next?
- [Jaakko] Alright, gladly. - Yeah!
You can see that this isn't the first time I'm doing real work.
I worked at R. Hey, wow! [R-kioski, a convenience store]
It's just erupted. And it looks so good! And then...
Come on.
- It already got a few bubbles, just from the smallest touch. - Looks good.
Want to help me?
This is really damn good!
This could be something like blood on our hands.
But it's lava.
- Your volcano is now finished? - Yes.
- Thank you, Elias. - Thank you, Pilvi.
- You can see the smoke. - Yeah, looks good.
If I compare this to the previous tin foil thing, it definitely looks more like a volcano.
- Doesn't it? - But are you happy with it? - I'm very happy with it!
I'm... well... That may be the best work of art that I've ever made.
- It looks like a volcano. Smoke was really coming out of it. - Yes.
And even the scenery behind it is beautiful.
Yes, and also, I'm very happy that you asked if you were allowed to set a fire anywhere,
- and then decided to do it on the beach after all. - Yeah, exactly.
Apart from the few vices that were shown to our viewers, this was a very succesful attempt.
- Many thanks! - Many welcomes.
And thank you to Pilvi, who sacrificed...
We've seen two good volcanoes.
Now, let's go for a small break, and then we'll see more volcanoes.
Welcome back, this is the Suurmestari finale episode.
Before the break, we saw Elias' and Pamela's volcanoes.
We still have three volcanoes left to see.
Yes indeed. Next, we'll see how dramatically Pirjo's volcano blazed.
- Your time starts now. - Alright! Alright!
That's the volcanic starting hole.
This is absolutely amazing.
- [Pirjo] Hey, it's like that sometimes! - Why are these... Balls, stop.
- Now they're spinning in the other direction. - [Pilvi] Yeah.
- Smoke's coming up. Do you see? - Yeah. - Hey!
Now, this is... The volcano's finished. I don't understand why the light's here. I don't want this, the light's unbearable. I'll get rid of it.
This is Kiasma material. [Modern art museum]
How is this... This is abhorrent!
This is the worst thing I've ever seen!
There's smoke. And now it happens... Populace, run away!
The volcano is erupting! Run! Run, people!
Save yourselves!
Yeah!
Yes!
It worked after all!
[Pilvi] Thank you, Pirjo.
- [Pilvi] Quite the volcano. - [Pirjo] Smoke!
[Pilvi] Let's talk more about this in the studio.
Let's.
- Pirjo... - At the bottom of the water...
Pirjo, "abstract" is one word I would use for this...
You were so excited when you found the coloured lights.
I don't understand, what... Why I wanted them there.
No, now I know! See, I was probably thinking about the see-through surface.
That's become clear now, but... Hey, people...
[Joonas] That looks like a colostomy bag!
I thought it'd be a pic... I know that I can't set a fire near plastic.
That much even I understand. I thought that there'd be a spinning...
A spinning...
- What?! Pictures of something...? - The end of the world... Uhh...
- When it looks like that, it's better to change it. - [Jaakko] Pirjo...
Thank you, Pirjo. Oh boy.
What's next?
- Shall we watch Eero's volcano next? - Absolutely, let's watch it.
Alright! There's the tip of the volcano...
From which the smegma surges.
- There, see. The mountain itself is starting to be built. - That's good! - It is! Nice.
Let's go see the volcano, man!
Let's go... I go into the tent, I got to take a shit.
Gonna take my van, listen to some rock n' roll music.
Yeah! Ooh!
Monster is coming...
Please... Now!
Yeaaahh! Gyaahh!
Smegma!
Here you destroy the volcano!
Now it's destroyed! Oh my God, noooo...!
Yeah.
- Well, it works! - Hey, that's good! - A functioning volcano.
Uhhhh... Thank you, Eero.
Thank you.
- [Pamela] Yeah! - [Joonas] Good one.
- Thank you, Eero. This combined a volcano with an American action movie. - Yes.
The action movie may have slightly covered for the lack of activity from the volcano, but...
But were you happy with the smegma - the so-called "smegma" - yourself?
I was really happy.
And my summer job at a certain hardware store when I was 17 wasn't wasted,
because I knew that a garden hose... motor exists, which can shoot...
Smegma.
- And then. There's one more left. - Yes. We haven't yet seen Joonas' volcano.
Why don't we see it right away!
Alright! Aw, everything's been spread out.
Yes. We've gathered the things you asked for. Your time starts now.
There's still more coming. Amazing, thank you. That was some good division of labour.
It's bad that... No! Exactly that.
Maybe the electric cable is getting in the way a bit.
Looking at it from here, it doesn't look bad. Might even look best from here. Alright!
- [Everyone] Wow! - [Pilvi] Thank you, Joonas.
- [Pirjo] Truly... - [Pamela] It's good!
- [Pamela] Yeah, I'm definitely a fan. - [Pirjo] Yeah, that was a good one.
Joonas. That looked pretty good. Can we take a look at Joonas' volcano?
- [Everyone] Alright. It's good. - [Eero] Is it really that great?
It's a really super cool volcano. The lava is bubbling in there.
You wanted to use both puréed tomatoes and mustard.
Yeah, so it'd be orange like that.
After all, lava isn't red or yellow, but instead it's...
Orange, or it has shades of both red and yellow.
I'll score this as follows:
Joonas gets five points.
- Eero, four points. - [Pamela] Go, Eero!
- Elias also gets four points, it looked so great. - [Pamela] Well done!
Pamela's grill gets two points.
- And Pirjo, unfortunately, I'm giving you one point. - How can that be possible?
- But... But... - Can't you hear how everyone is...?
I can. Which is why I'm giving you a bonus point.
[Pamela] Yes!
[Pirjo] Good, good.
The way you explained the volcano's functions was delightful.
- Wonderful, good. - That's the scores done.
It's time for the final task. Get ready.
Pilvi, what is the final task for the finale episode?
The final task for the finale episode requires persuasive skills.
- Elias, please read the task out loud. - Alright.
"Convince the Taskmaster that you deserve five points."
"Choose a tactic of persuasion from the wall." [Unused paddle translations will be listed in the credits]
"You have 20 seconds to convince. The most convincing attempt wins."
Good! Dear contestants, are you ready?
Yes!
- Let's start with Pirjo. Go ahead. - Yeah. Yes.
Tonight, I won't feel any shame. I'll give my all to win.
Let's just, just, just go with this. Just... Straight into it.
And it is...?
"Desperately begging."
- Do I put this in here, then? - Yeah.
- Are you ready? - I am.
20 seconds. Go ahead.
Oh, sir Taskmaster! Me and my family have watched every episode!
I've laughed so much, and you've brought so much joy into my evenings, that
I wouldn't have had the strength to live on Saturday evenings, but you... you, sir Taskmaster...
My family is here! My mom is over there!
- My two children are over there! Pity me! Pity me! - Time's up.
- I'll kiss the ground under your feet! - Time's up!
Next up, Joonas.
Thank you.
- Choose a tactic. - Okay.
- So, "firmly demanding." - Yeah.
20 seconds. Go ahead.
Give up the points! You hear me? Give up the points!
Don't point your finger at me! Write down: a point! Five points for Joonas!
It's time to stop coddling everyone else! I've been given the least... it's clearly...
Pirjo especially has been given them for all the wrong reasons!
What are you laughing at?!
- Give me some points, goddammit! - Time's up! Time's up!
[Jaakko] To the surface, to the surface.
- [Pirjo] Did it feel good? - Thaaaaaank you! It did!
Got all the pressures from the series aired out.
Good, thank you. Next up, Pamela.
Well...
- Go ahead, choose... - It's pretty hard to go after that.
Thank you.
- Choose your tactic. - Yeah.
I can't... foolish...
"Self-deprecating."
Self-deprecating. Go ahead, put the paddle in there. You have 20 seconds, Pamela.
- Well there's probably nothing... - Go ahead.
The cast is so good, that a small-town broad from Suhmura can't really do anything.
After all, Eero said in the first episode that Pamela probably won't win a single episode.
And I feel like I really shouldn't be given that many points, either.
I haven't had that many successes, and there definitely won't be any in the future.
- On the other hand... - Time's up.
Sorry! Sorry.
Good job. Next up, Elias.
I choose...
"Rapping."
- Go, go! - Yay!
- Yes, yes. - In the basket, basket, basket. - In the basket.
- Alright... - You have 20 seconds. Go ahead.
Check it out.
Jaakko, Jaakko, when I look at you, I'm happier than I am on Christmas Eve.
I'm gonna start crying soon if you won't give me the five points!
I won't get them for nothing, I have to rap well.
Seriously, Jaakko, I'm the shortest and the youngest for real, and a fresh face, gimme the points.
I need 'em, I thirst for and want them.
Don't you get, Jaakko, how good of a rapper I am?
And also pretty charismatic, and a nice boy.
- Give me points... - Time's up. - [Jaakko] Thank you.
Next up, Eero.
Which tactic will you choose?
- Which? - [Pamela] Which one?
"Seductively."
I'm getting scared, now. I can take it for 20 seconds. Go ahead.
Taskmasterrrr ~
Come on over here. You know how many points you need... to give.
Ohhh, how lovely that is there.
I'll just quickly whisper to you how many points to give me.
You must give fiiiiive.
Five points, little silly billy boo!
You know, don't you...
Isn't the time up yet?!
Time's up! Time's up.
Thank you, dear friends.
That was a great final task. A final task befitting the finale episode.
And my task is to score it.
Everyone followed their chosen tactic one hundred percent.
And this is the first time that I can't differentiate between you all.
So everyone gets five points for this.
- Lovely! - [Pamela] That was lovely.
- [Pamela] Great. - [Pirjo] Yes.
Congratulations. But! Next we must answer the question: Who won this finale episode?
After all of the tasks, the one to manage to gather the most points...
And consequently, win the episode...
- Joonas. - [Eero] Well done, Joonas! - [Pamela] Yes! Well done, Joonas!
- [Pamela] Great. - [Jaakko] Congratulations, Joonas.
And then the important question: Who wins the entire series?
Who will join the ranks of the legends?
Who gets to raise this golden Suurmestari statue in the air?
Pilvi. We've counted the points. Who is the winner?
The winner of this series is...
Pirjo!
Pirjo Lonka, go ahead! Go ahead!
You get the golden Suurmestari statue.
- [Pirjo] This can't be possible! I never win anything! - [Jaakko] Go ahead.
I never win anything!
- Oh dear! It can't be real! - Congratulations! Pirjo!
Thank you to all the contestants, and thank you all viewers! This has been Suurmestari!
