Attempts
Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Eva initially opens a drawer and inverts an hourglass with her mouth, before arriving at the idea of making a fire with her feet. She successfully puts some pieces of wood and some firelighters into a firepit, and is eventually able to light a match with her feet and start the fire (but not before burning herself). She earns third place for her effort.
- Julie decides to ride a horse without using her hands. She is then seen doing so, with a reluctant Mark also on the horse with her at the end. In the studio, Lasse says that, despite having never ridden a horse, it looked pretty easy to him. He therefore awards her fourth place.
- Martin decides to make a loaf of braided bread with his feet, and actually does so in a very competent manner, even taking care to wash his feet between steps. The only thing he does not do is remove the bread from the oven with his feet (which is understandable). He even cuts the bread and spreads jam on it with his feet. Mark reluctantly eats some of the bread and admits that it tastes good. Lasse awards him second place.
- Sebastian decides to fall back on some circus skills, and attempts to balance a very long stick, made by taping multiple garden tools together, on his chin. However, he just can't make it happen, and ends up breaking the stick down to just a regular broom and balancing that on his chin, so that he can at least complete some kind of act without using his hands. Lasse is, unsurprisingly, unimpressed, and awards him last place.
- Simon immediately suggests that he could drink, smoke, and clap at the same time, forgetting for a moment that clapping would require his hands. He keeps the other parts of his party trick in place, though, instead playing a keyboard with his feet while drinking from a bottle wedged upright in his mouth, with a lit cigarette up one nostril. This is apparently a party trick he whips out with some frequency, and it does the job of impressing Lasse, who awards him first place.
