Task brief

The brief for the task is as follows:

Bring in something that is just inside.

The wording of the task specifies that the contestants must bring in something that is 'just inside', which in this context mostly means 'just within the limits of what is acceptable', but can also be interpreted as literally 'just inside' (hence Espen's submission).

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

Kristoffer brings in a lifesize replica of his own body, made by a prop-maker, because he is proud of his physique, but acknowledges that it is not acceptable for him to get naked on TV, since he does not have a socially approved body type. When prompted by Atle, he then admits that it's not really acceptable to have such a statue of oneself. Atle awards him second place in the task.
Henriette brings in a pair of Crocs, which Atle suggests are only just acceptable because of how comfortable they are, despite being ugly as hell. However, he awards them last place.
Martha brings in a bright green hat and handbag, along with a thick chain and a pair of sunglasses for Atle to wear, to make him more acceptable to the youth. Olli agrees with Martha that the look is 'just' about acceptable, and Atle awards it third place.
Espen admits that his prize was a last minute solution, having brought in a packet of paracetomol suppositories, one of which is missing (i.e. it is 'just inside' his body). Atle awards his prize submission first place.
Live brings in the book Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, which Atle suggests may still be 'outside' of acceptable. She admits that the idology contained in the book is not acceptable, but suggests that reading the book in itself could be considered 'just inside' of acceptable, since everyone is always being encouraged to read more. Atle places the book fourth, pointing out that he might get criticised for even ranking it that highly.
