• Ida predicts that someone would be lazy and just eat the Dumle, while no-one would eat the cat food. She starts to eat the potato, and initially states that it is much better than she anticipated, but then it seems to get progressively worse for her. She manages to eat the entire potato, though, by regularly sipping on the bottle of wine between each bite. She ultimately earns joint fourth with Steinar, though, since he made the same decision.
• Solveig wordlessly eats the Dumle and leaves the room with a smile on her face. She ends up in joint fourth place with Einar, since he also chose the Dumle.
• Steinar opens the cat food and spends the majority of his time considering the consequences of being ‘the guy that ate cat food on TV’. He considers what the audience might want to see, giving them a voice by saying “Come on, Sagen. Entertain us. Eat cat food.” (thus coining the episode title). He also considers what the impact of him doing so might be on his children. After a prolonged period of staring at the cat food with a spoon in his hand, he decides instead to eat the potato, acknowledging that some viewers will be disappointed, and others glad. He earns joint fourth place, as Ida also ate the potato.
• Einar begins working his way through the potato, assuming that it would be so tough that no-one else would try to do it. He shares how he is having to convince his body that it needs the potato, in order to get it down. He then starts to reconsider his choice, and reaches the conclusion that everyone else might decide against eating the Dumle because it’s too easy. He gives up on the potato, unwraps the Dumle, and throws it into the air, catching it in his mouth. He earns joint fourth in the task, since Solveig also chose to eat the Dumle.
• Amir correctly predicts that everyone else would have chosen to eat either the Dumle or the potato. He admits that he has always dreamt of eating cat food (in the studio, he says he always thought it looked just like tuna). He fetches a champagne flute and some crackers, and smears some of the cat food onto a cracker as if it is fine pâté . He very quickly discovers that the cat food is not so good. To get through the rest of the can, he has to alternate between drinking wine from the flute, eating cat food, and taking bites from the chilli, all the while questioning his choice. In the studio, he admits that it was like “chewing mould”. He earns first place in the task due to being the only person to eat cat food. Atle decides that awarding the rest of the cast second place would be unfair, so he puts everyone else in fourth instead.
