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

  • Johanna brings David along to carry a bathtub to the front lawn. She puts a cardboard box, a rope, and a pillow in it, before covering them in petrol. She then gets into a car, but struggles with driving it because she’s not used to driving a manual gear shift, and she has to ask David to remind her which of the pedals does what. She then reassures the camera operator that she does actually have a driver’s license. Johanna reverses (‘Backa’) the car, with a lit torch in her hand sticking out the window, and then sets fire (‘Antända’) to the items in the bathtub. She earns 2 points, and is astonished in the studio as she’d expected far more.
  • Anis initially jokingly suggests breathing (‘Andas’) and pooping (‘Bajsa’) at the same time, before the camera cuts. Off-camera, he then puts on a backpack, and straps a synthesiser to his stomach using a harness attached to the backpack. The backpack also has a curved pole sticking out of the top of it, to which he straps a GoPro camera and a klaxon horn. He’s next seen standing on a hoverboard, while wearing his contraption, and playing a solo along with one of the pre-programmed backing tracks on the synthesiser, singing “David Sundin” over and over. He doesn’t explain in the pre-filmed clip what actions he had picked, and he then struggles to remember his choices in the studio. Babben suggests he’d been given the wrong letters since all she saw was rolling (‘Rulla’) and singing off-key (‘Sursång’), but David eventually reminds them it was accompaniment (‘Ackompanjera’) and balancing (‘Balansera’). Anis earns 4 points.
  • Sofia attaches a sword to a plank using zip ties, puts on a costume resembling medieval royalty, places David on a chair facing away from the table, and then lies down face-up on the table. She uses the sword and plank as a bench-press (‘Bänka’), while dubbing David as a knight (‘Adla’), and speaking in old-timey Swedish. She earns 3 points because of her unusual and creative word choices.
  • Sussie finds a hollow cylinder made out of pipes in the shed, to which she attaches a megaphone. She then wears this contraption around her torso, and grabs three juggling balls. She struggles to juggle and seemingly swears so much that almost every word she says has to be bleeped. However, she reveals in the studio that she was actually whistle-blowing (‘Avslöja’) about Marcus, which had to be bleeped out, and that she actually didn’t remember what she’d said, which makes the entire panel and audience erupt in laughter. She says that her other action was balling (‘Bolla’), but is challenged on this by Anis and Johanna, as they considered her to specifically be juggling (‘Jonglera’), rather than just playing with balls. Sussie earns just 1 point, as Babben isn’t impressed by someone juggling and speaking at the same time.
  • Marcus gets David to lie on his stomach on the pier, with his head hanging over the water. He then struggles to paint David’s face (‘Ansiktsmålning’) while swimming (‘Bada’), and defends his sub-par paint-job in the studio by saying he was trying to get David to look like his aunt. Marcus earns 5 points for this, and the rest of the panel are in disbelief, with Anis jokingly accusing Marcus of rigging the show, and Sussie jokingly claiming that he was getting favourable treatment because of his looks. Sofia says that he deserves it because he had been far behind in earlier episodes.
