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

  • Ante says that the most irritating thing about doctors is that they all have bad handwriting. He brings in a gift card for a calligraphy course. Ante is awarded second place.
  • When Ivan introduced Ana at the beginning of the episode, he mentioned the fact that there was a production of The Nutcracker at the theatre she owns which was sold out – but that tickets for the show she was actually performing in were still widely available. Ana says that what she wanted to bring for the prize was tickets to The Nutcracker but that even she, the owner of the theatre, couldn't get any. Instead, she had to rely on her back-up gift: a bottle of alcohol. She earns fourth place.
  • Enio brings in a Looney Tunes branded version of the board game Covjece ne ljuti se ('Dude, don't get angry'; a game very similar to Sorry! or Parcheesi). Ivan declares that it's the best-named board game in history, and eventually awards it first place.
  • Lidija reasons that since doctors are always washing and sanitising their hands, that it takes a toll. She thus brings in a jar of nice hand cream, for which she earns last place.
  • Igor proclaims that doctors are happiest when they can work, so he'd considered submitting Luka as a prize (the implication being that this is a present specifically for a cosmetic surgeon). He settles instead for submitting a roast suckling pig, saying that whenever a doctor took care of one of his loved ones, he would send such a gift to the doctor's house in thanks. Ivan says it's a good gift, but not necessarily doctor-specific, and awards third place to Igor.
