Task brief
The task brief is laid upon a large blue rubber strip on a table just outside of the shed, alongside pairs of safety helmets, face-shields, and ear-defenders. The brief for the task is as follows:
Stretch the rubber band between the two of you in an exciting way.
Longest stretched rubber band wins.
If the rubber band breaks, you are disqualified.
The test is immediately ended if someone says ‘stop’.
Bonus points for tensest tension.
You have 20 minutes.
Your time starts now.
Task notes
- The wording of the task brief, especially ‘tensest tension’, is a play on words, with ‘spand’/’spanna’ meaning ‘stretch’ or ‘draw taut’, while ‘spannade’ means ‘exciting’.

Notes on task scores
- Johar says that he believes Henrik and Nikki are the more high-energy of the two teams, and will break the rubber band. He gambles his points on Marko and Linnéa. Both of Johar’s predictions are correct, and he wins 3 points.
