Attempts

Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!

  • Linda immediately drops her tray of items. With Mark’s help, she is able to recover some of her building materials to at least try to do the task. Linda does manage to balance a few cookies on a small spaghetti bridge before the time is up.
  • Simon makes a spaghetti bridge, then balances the majority of his cookies on either side of it to avoid the risk of weighing down the middle. While he is balancing the final few cookies on his bridge, Tobias walks over and knocks the whole bridge down. Simon starts to build again, but runs out of time. Lasse acknowledges that Simon had come very close to finishing the whole thing, and awards the win to Simon.
  • Sofie makes a spaghetti bridge, then chews up cookies and spits them onto the bridge.
  • Jonas tries passing several pieces of spaghetti through the cookies. The camera does not focus much on Jonas throughout the task; he eventually ends up with a few cookies threaded onto a spaghetti bridge before he puts his hands on his hips, signalling he has finished (presumably he was aware he was running out of time).
  • Tobias takes his time threading mints onto a few pieces of spaghetti. He keeps an eye on Simon, and when Simon has nearly finished with his bridge, Tobias knocks the entire thing over. Tobias then overturns his own building station, giving up any opportunity to be able to win the task himself. In fairness, Tobias apologises to Simon by calling him “a true winner”.
