Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Anders correctly guesses the first word, 'university' after just two syllables, earning four points. He incorrectly guesses the third word, 'ligegyldighed' [indifference], as 'leverpostej' [liver pâté], and loses all of his points. He then incorrectly guesses the fifth word, 'elefanthue' [elephant hat], as 'elevatorskakt' [elevator shaft]. He then correctly guesses the sixth word, 'københavnsstang' [Copenhagen pole], after four syllables, earning two points. Ending with just those two points, he loses the task, and earns no episode points.
- Annika incorrectly guesses the second word, 'kængurustylte' [pogo stick], as 'kænguru' [kangaroo]. She then correctly guesses the second word, 'ligegyldighed' [indifference], after three syllables, earning three points. She then incorrectly guesses the eighth word, 'semifinalist', as 'semifinale' [semi-finals], losing her points. Ending with zero points, she loses the task, and earns no episode points.
- Jakob incorrectly guesses the fifth word, 'elefanthue' [elephant hat], as 'elevatorlift'. He then correctly guesses the ninth word, 'græsslåmaskine' [lawnmower], after two syllables, earning four points. He then correctly guesses the tenth and final word, 'agurkesalat' [cucumber salad] after just two syllables, earning four points. It is pointed out that it’s particularly funny that Jakob guesses this word, given his hatred of water-heavy fruits and vegetables like cucumbers and watermelon (see the 'Eat the watermelon' task from episode 3). With his late wins of the ninth and tenth rounds of the game, and his eight points, he wins the task, and the five actual episode points on offer.
- Mahamad incorrectly guesses the third word, 'ligegyldighed' [indifference], as 'ligestilling' [equality]. He then correctly guesses the fourth word, 'mobiltelefon' [mobile phone], after two syllables, earning four points. He then incorrectly guesses the fifth word, 'elefanthue' [elephant hat], as 'elevatorblik' [elevator eyes], losing all of his points. He then honks in to guess the eighth word, 'semifinalist', appears to not have an actual guess to share, and instead takes a wild stab in the dark with 'temperamentsvingninger' [temperamental swings]. He desperately honks in on the first syllable of the tenth and final word, 'agurkesalat' [cucumber salad], incorrectly guessing that it is 'analfabet' [illiterate]. Ending with zero points, he loses the task, and earns no episode points.
- Neel correctly guesses the second word, 'kængurustylte' [pogo stick], after two syllables, earning four points. She then correctly guesses the fifth word, 'elefanthue' [elephant hat], after two syllables, earning another four points. She then incorrectly guesses the sixth word, 'københavnsstang' [Copenhagen pole] as 'københavneris' [Copenhagen ice cream], losing all of her points. She then correctly guesses the seventh word, 'fingerfaerdighed' [dexterity] after three syllables, earning three points. She then correctly guesses the eighth word, 'semifinalist', after four syllables, earning two more points. Ending with five points, she loses the task, and earns no episode points.
