Attempts
Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- Julie makes Mark fetch her the equipment needed to create a long arm to reach the canvas, and then also makes him do the painting for her. She is awarded joint third place for her effort.
- Lina decides to just throw paint at the canvas, creating an abstract painting. Christian points out that she has accidentally created a profile of Mark on the canvas, in the negative space between the paint. Lasse awards her joint third place.
- Nikolaj thinks he's identified a loophole in the task, and asks Mark to move the easel within reach for him. He is disqualified because Mark touches the easel.
- Christian moves the easel within reach of the rope himself, managing to avoid touching it by using a paintbrush as a handle. After painting normally for a while, he decides to start squirting paint at the canvas from a water pistol, and then knocks over the easel and 'withdraws' his painting from the competition because 'it is too good'. He then submits the painting of Lasse he was copyng from as his attempt. Lasse accepts both pieces of art as his attempt, and awards him second place.
- Ruben first throws paint at the canvas with his bare hands. He then starts painting Mark's entire head with his paint-covered hands, and ultimately decides to enter Mark's painted head as his attempt. Lasse awards him first place for his artwork.
