Task notes

  • In the first round of the task, a kettle is switched on, and the contestants have to try to stand up before it switches itself back off.
  • In the second round of the task, a piece of bread is inserted into a toaster, and the contestants have to try to stand up before the toast pops up.

Attempts

Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Images will be added later.

  • In the first round, Kalle is the first to stand, followed very quickly by Fathi. Pirjo is the third to stand. Erin and Eija both stand up in unison just as the kettle switches off. After reviewing the footage, it is determined that both Erin and Eija actually stood just after the kettle switched off, so both are eliminated, and receive just one point each. In the second round, Pirjo is the first to stand (earning 3 points), followed by Kalle (4 points) and then Fathi (5 points). As all three stand up long before the toast is due to pop, they end up manually pushing the button to eject the toast early, rather than standing around waiting for it.
