Task notes

  • This task takes place during the ‘Middle of the Show’ segment, as a game titled ‘Argumentera Mera’ (‘Argue More’, though it is translated in the fan subs as ‘The Great Debate’).
  • There is a large board set up behind the contestants’ seats on the stage, upon which there are 20 appeal techniques written on rectangular pieces of posterboard. The options include:
    • As if you just thought of it
    • Threatening and angry
    • Ask politely
    • Like Ronny and/or Ragge (a sitcom duo)
    • Without vowels
    • Self-deprecating
    • Seductively
    • Calm and pragmatic, in a Gotland accent
    • Speak while inhaling
    • In a language that isn't Swedish or English
    • With a merry tune
  • Once they’ve selected their appeal techniques, the contestants can use them in any order they wish.
