Yes!
-Ouch! -Idiocy!
Holy shit!
-Crap! -Time’s up.
A warm welcome to Bäst i Test!
We find out how the brain works under stress, pressure and confusion.
We have a long-suffering panel.
The carpenter from Sveg - Erik Ekstrand!
The missionary from Mönsterås - Marika Carlsson!
The virtuoso from Växjö - Ola Forssmed!
The swimmer from Vingåker - Ellen Bergström!
This week's guest is the chopping block from Hisingen - Ann Westin! [comedian]
Welcome, panel. Ann, you're our guest tonight.
You've done a lot of tasks. How do you think you've done?
-It's razor sharp. -I did well.
You're not that impressed.
Are you ready? Then we’ll start.
Oops! Here I have my very own minion.
-David Sundin! -Good day. Thousand thanks.
It is a real honor to be here.
You're not here to talk.
It's time for the first task, which is not very difficult.
Hi.
- "Slice the bread that is in the shed." - "Most slices wins.”
- "Only use items from the shed." - "You have two minutes."
No... "Slice the bread that is in the shed."
"Time starts now." Exciting! What kind of bread is it?
What should I slice with? I saw one ... It was ...
It's been ... I've seen ... SAW! Where is the saw?
It's just a slice, isn't it? Well, we have nothing to slice with.
-I'm going to slice the bread from the shed ... -One minute left.
What do you have for something?
I can do this.
If I get this started, I'll win.
No! It doesn’t work!
Yes! No, it doesn’t work!
-30 seconds left. -Stop!
Check! No, it was hard.
Ah! Now I must...
-Damn... -30 seconds left.
Fifteen...
-Slices and slices ... -Thirteen seconds.
-Seven... -No!
Five, four, three, two, one.
And time’s up!
You are welcome.
I have a lot of crumbs that you can count.
-There was no saw. -Almost none of these are ...
There are no slices.
Two hundred...
-What looks most like a slice? -They all look like that.
Four, and one thick.
-It's the bread. -It's a thick slice.
The king offered thick slices of bread.
-Is this, maybe? -That one is also damn nice.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
-They’re all fine. -They’re all just as nice. Thanks.
-Tricky! How do I score? -We'll see a detail first.
Ann, now you'll learn the importance of reading the letter properly.
Hell! How do I slice this?
Slice the bread that is in the shed. Slice the bread that is in the shed.
Yes, it was unfortunately the bread in the shed that you were supposed to slice.
But you are a guest ...
I still got it. There was a good idea.
-Yes, but unfortunately there will be zero points. -No...
I do this at home!
-Keep the breads in order. -It's slices after all.
It was the wrong bread, Ann.
So, was there a loaf of bread in the shed? I didn’t understand that.
But if you look at the number of slices of bread, Ellen gets five points.
What?
-Four to Erik. -Well-deserved!
Three to Marika, and two to Ola.
Two? I had lots!
They didn’t count. And zero points to Ann.
-Marika did not use the bread in the shed. -Yes.
-I picked it up. -You went into the shed with the other.
We should be happy, because Babben can do this.
-She has set her points. -What a fuss already!
-We go over to the prize task. -Yes, it's time for that.
You have brought stuff that is combined into a prize pool.
Everyone has their most boastful thing.
The winner goes home with all the stuff, whether they want to or not.
-What do they have with them? -We shall see.
Ellen was only six years old when she met her idol Johan Petersson. [actor]
Marika brings with her Louise Hoffsten's [singer-songwriter] old harmonica.
-Oh! -Yes.
Ann has won many awards - Female Comedian of the Year, three times.
-I was out in the woods chopping wood. -Three slices of bread.
A snippet from a bungee rope he used is Erik's choice.
In the ’90s, Ola was such a big idol that he ended up in the magazine Okej.
Erik, that rope certainly did not hold your weight. Did you fall?
No, but the one who jumped after me was surprised.
-Ellen, were you in line for the picture? -It was a fair in Katrineholm.
-In Katrineholm? -I was always at that fair.
-I was stuck on Johan's back. -Glued?
-I sat like this. -Did he want to?
I sat there, but he didn’t notice anything. He's crazy.
I'm small, too, but people notice if I'm on their back.
-Ola, so you were in Okej. -Yes, it's very cool.
In this report, which I did with my then girlfriend ...
-Smart! -Yes.
I said, "You want to be a raw guy and not fall for it so easily."
I think many can say today: "Yes, he's a raw dude."
-Is that bragging? That you said so? -Yes!
One point to Ellen. It was great for you-
-but everyone here has been ... working with Johan, so it's not impressive.
Ann, I've also won Female Comedian of the Year.
-You too, huh? -That's right.
There will be two points. Three points for Marika's harmonica.
Four points for your bungee rope. It would go off, but you jumped anyway.
-Five points to Ola. -Yes.
-It's not worth any applause. -A raw guy.
-My thing was cooler. -An article in Okej beats most.
David, show us the scores.
-Erik has taken the lead. -Fair! And it makes sense!
Then we have Ola on seven points. Marika and Ellen have six points each.
Ann has two strong points, with a chance to catch up.
-I'm coming back. -We're not worried.
-Shall we move on? -Yes, now we'll see the next task.
-Hello. -Is that for me?
- "Slide as far as possible." - "Longest slide wins."
"You have 15 minutes, and one attmpt.”
"Your time starts now."
Should I just slide as far as possible, and solve the problem?
-Slide, woman. -Slide.
Exactly - slide, woman, slide. What is sliding in your world?
To get there in some way, without wheels or steps or anything.
-You slide forward, quite simply. -Okay, then we'll watch.
They had 15 minutes to plan it.
-We’ll look at their preparations. -Exciting.
Slide ... Slide ...
Slide ... Slide! What the hell is that instruction?
So there. Slide.
"Slider: a person who does not make a lasting impression" -
- "to avoid boredom and responsibility."
-What are you thinking...? -I have no idea.
-Have you already started sliding? -It would have worked.
That's smart.
I can’t stand up for it.
This isn’t possible. Oh my God.
Two and a half minutes have passed.
Yes ... If I somehow dress in this.
Like this.
Neat!
This is not possible. This is going to be crap.
Is this okay, believe me?
What have I done? This feels wrong. This doesn’t feel good.
It will hurt in the ass.
-Oh! Turtles! -Is that nice?
So!
Make a splotch!
Damn, how lame.
One for dad, one for mom, and one for the guys at the house.
This is not going to go well. I'm doing it now.
It looks like you have thought and prepared very much alike.
-Was it quite the same? -No, there were different results.
Everyone had the same solution, except Ola.
He chose to lie in a tarp and slide.
We'll see how it went.
-On the stomach! -Fuck, I sit down.
I'm doing it now.
For Sweden!
Into the future!
Slide, little body! Slide!
-There ... Will you be okay then? -Yes, it must be good then.
Erik, throwing yourself on your stomach was brave.
I was sitting on my ass. I'm not going to say where the soap went.
It stung quite well.
Ola, you did not use any soap. What do you have against lubricants?
I'm a raw dude.
-Ann, you had a very narrow path. -It was hard.
Did you get grass burn on the outer fillets?
-I like that you took ... -I'm slipping anyway!
-I was completely exhausted there. -Then you do not slip!
-David, how far did they slide? -Let's see...
Ann went 7.4 meters. It's worth a round of applause.
It is just below the ladies' world record in long jump.
Are there ladies who jump further than Ann slides downhill?
Yes that is correct. The next participant went 7.5 meters.
- It was Ellen. What?
Ola went 13.4 meters. Erik went 17.4 meters.
And Marika went 18.2 meters. She therefore gets five points.
Oh, how happy I am! What a fun program this is!
I was smart lying on my ass. You poured lubricant everywhere.
I just slipped. How happy I am!
Without slipping, it will be uphill.
I hope Ann Westin gets more points in the next task.
-Hello. -Hello!
Hi.
"Build a tower of moving boxes."
- "It may only consist of cartons." - "Three minutes."
"The time begins when you have folded the first moving box."
Okay. It's not art.
-How much cardboard experience do you have? -I’ve moved a lot.
I just want to say that I am smarter than what you see later.
-Erik, you get evicted every now and then, don't you? -Yes, it’s true.
At first I couldn’t afford moving boxes. It was bags.
-Banana boxes. -Take what you can before the bailiff arrives.
David, how did they use the time? It was quite a lot of time.
The time began when they had folded the first box.
They had all the time in the world to devise an impressive solution.
-And did they? -No ... They did not.
We take a look.
When I have folded the first ...
Triangular cartons? What is this? Well ...
The ears are going in ... No, wait now.
-Let's go. -Okay! What a feeling!
I have to fold again!
No!
No, it will be ... What the hell. It's ... No.
I can’t even fold boxes!
I have a damn good sense of balance.
-I'm borrowing you. -Yes.
Erik, you know this. You're worth this.
I should have done this.
-I get... -30 seconds left.
-I get... -Three, two, one, zero!
-I can’t reach. -Neither can I.
Good work.
One, zero.
Ola, why didn’t you put the two you had on edge?
I tried to borrow David, but he was not helpful.
You got a nice step to step on.
-It should work. -It was a strange chair.
People are hoping for you.
I feel so smart now that I've seen you.
-I want to thank you for that. -Thanks.
-How high were the towers? -Ola’s did not become a tower ...
-But the foundation was 55 cm. -Yes!
Ann reached 214 cm. Marika reached 255 cm.
Erik reached 288 cm, and Ellen wins with 290 cm!
-Uh-oh! -Yes!
If Ann stood on her own shoulders, she would be as tall as Ellen's tower.
She can do that. None of the towers were super high. What did they miss?
The time began when the first box was folded.
It would be best not to fold any. I took some of my free time.
I folded my own tower, actually.
-What is this? -Now we will be humiliated.
-Yes! -Wait...
-How high was it? -3.14 m, that’s pi-high.
-I am reluctantly impressed. -Thanks.
But you had plenty of time to think.
Our participants are geniuses in everything other than building cardboard towers.
What are the scores then?
Things have happened. Erik leads with 16 points.
Marika has advanced, and has 14 points.
Ellen has 13 points, and now Ann is up to 5 points.
I'm keying in.
-What are they fighting for? -Their most boastful things.
Among other things, an old string and an old magazine.
Time goes fast when you’re having fun. Now comes “The Middle of the Program".
Here, David gets to try out interview techniques.
-Today you will get to practice on Ann. -Okay, then we'll see ...
-Ann Westin ...? -I'm sitting here.
-Hello, hello. How is it, really? -Yes ... It must.
-You people are a little different. -Yes.
Do you have something you feel ...
Any characteristics that make you stand out?
People usually do not remember me.
-I'm a little, angry, bitter bastard. -You're not super tall.
When I was 14, I was 151 cm, and now I am 153 cm.
-Then we know how tall you are. -Stop this now.
Yes. It's time for "Cut a string".
♫ Cut a string ♫ Cut a string
♫ The string should be cut
That went well. You are probably wondering how to play this classic game.
Ann, you have a letter under your pillow. [dyna]
-Lift your butt a little. -Do you mean under the cushion? [dynan]
Then you have learned to read and listen carefully.
"Cut a string the same length as the competitors' total height.”
“Closest wins. You have 100 seconds. Time starts on David’s signal.”
You have to guess how tall all five of you are together.
You have 100 seconds. Does anyone have a question?
-Can we hunt people? -It's probably a waste of time.
Can we hang on to someone's back? -That would be hard.
Get ready. Your time starts now.
No! What was that?
-No! -Sit still, damn it!
I am 160 cm.
-My string is stuck. -Ann does not move unnecessarily.
-Do not touch the string! -What a messy sewing kit.
-Now I have cut ... -Half the time has passed.
-Quiet in the loom! -Where is my string?
-Let go of my string! -Ellen wanted to hunt people.
-There's my string. -Then it will be twice as long.
-Who stole my scissors?! -Borrow my scissors.
-Ten seconds left. -It's just going. Cut here.
-Why are you running? -You help each other!
Three, two, one, zero. Put away the scissors.
Wait, now has ...
That was "Cut a string". Now we'll measure.
♫ Cut a string ♫ The string should be cut
What a commitment! Plus points for all.
But not for real. - What did you come up with?
Interestingly enough, Marika guesses that you are on average two meters tall.
But Ann is there.
So then you would have to be four or five meters tall.
On the other hand, Ann thought you were 135 cm on average.
-She measured herself. -I see that you are not.
The correct answer was 8.31 meters.
-Marika was completely crazy. One point. -It's good to be naughty.
-Ann gets two points. -Congratulations, Ann!
Ola gets three points, Ellen four points, and Erik gets five points.
-You were 30 cm away. -Good!
-What is the next task? -It's a team task.
It's about milling ... Something like ... bread.
There’s something about flour. How it gets all over the body.
-Hello! The envelope is there, huh? -There!
-It's flour. -It's full. Members only.
-We check what's available. -It's some kind of hunting theme.
"Place the flour in its current form on the target."
"The team that places the most flour there wins. You must not leave the terrace."
"You have 20 minutes."
You should move the flour from the table to the target.
The flour must be in the form it was in. You were not allowed to bake a dough.
Ann, you’re not left out. You have to bet.
There are three points in the pot. Did Team Småland fix it best?
Or was it the rest of Sweden?
It feels like these two have a slightly higher IQ.
-You can be safe with us. -I register your choice.
-I have... -She has made her choice.
Wait! Sometimes I make the wrong choice.
-I'm taking these two. -Yeah!
-Stupid choice! -What a mistake!
-What a surprise. -Then we look at how it went.
You want to throw ... We have to throw away the flour.
If you inflate it here and fill it with flour ...
-And... -It will be hard.
-We put it together and throw it away. -All this?
We attach a thread. Then we can withdraw it if we miss.
-Good! That was a great idea! -Yes!
And then we haven’t even used the pita breads.
What is this? Maybe there is power in it so that you can ...
-What if it explodes? -Yes.
-Look! -What are you going to do now?
We fill this with flour, and then it just goes.
-Oh... -You probably won't get it down there.
-Tie it damn hard. -Yes.
-Oh, how hard you do. -Pandas can die from this knot.
-Place the flour ... -Call someone who can help us.
Right. We are not allowed to leave the terrace.
-Do you have your phone? -No.
Excuse me! You, the girl there!
-Hello! -Hello!
Hey! Do you have five minutes?
-Not really. -I need to get the flour to the target.
Yes, this sounds completely insane.
It says... - Now she waves to me completely happily.
-No... -I was in Rederiet! [TV show with Ola, 1992-2002]
We can talk about it.
[Helium voice:] Yes, now it’s time to start the throwing.
God ... How dizzy I’ve become.
-This doesn’t work anymore. -This was hard.
-This is not possible ... -No!
But, Ola!
-Are you in? -I have to hold on.
Super close! Go home!
-We can throw. -No!
-All right! One... -No, no, no!
-Three! -No!
-You had been in front of me. -They don’t take that!
-Come on! -Yes!
Yes!
Well ...
That was smart, Ellen.
With much encouragement from your partner, you brought it home.
-Rederiet was no chick magnet. -She was a Tre Kronor girl. [rival to Rederiet]
I don’t know.
-How did it go? -Ellen and Erik won.
-They get three points each. -Thanks.
Ann chose to bet on Marika and Ola.
-Yes. -You needed these three points.
-Now you are last. -Yes.
-This is a sad sofa. -Yes, it has become so.
-Do we have more tasks with food? -Yes. Your word is law.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Come in. -Sorry?
-Erik. -Atli.
-You are welcome. -Absolutely.
Should I open it?
"Write down in Swedish the 16 foods that the Icelander wants."
"You have five minutes."
Yes... A favorite returns: Icelandic.
-It's as easy as pie. -Yes, if you are creative.
We’ll watch how it went with language understanding.
-Egg. -You should get it. It goes in a basket.
-Breadcrumbs. -Breadrasp?
-Minced meat. [Hakkad kjöt] -Stewing steak. [Grytbitar]
-Cream. -What?
-Riomi? -Caviar!
-Cream. -Riomi ...
Butter.
Kalvasod.
Kalvasås?
-Calf sauce? -Yes! Dandruff shampoo.
-You don’t need it. -Hveiti.
-I don’t "know" [hvet] what you mean. -Cottage cheese?
-Blackcurrant jam. -Solbergasylta? You should get it.
-Potato. -Cat owls? How many do you need?
-Tytuber. -Tito Beltran?
Is it a tube of vitamin C you want?
-Parsley. -What?
The Icelandic Sten and Stanley? [dance band duo] -Clear!
-I'm ... you're lying. Thanks. -“Will you and I lie?"
-What do I say? -It was a little nice.
-Ellen wanted to sleep with the Icelander. -What a rag!
-How did it go? -It was a two-part task.
The ingredients would be used for the next part of the task.
Oh.
- "Cooking for David." - "Meatballs, puree and gravy."
"Only use the items on the platters.”
- "Best dish wins." - "You have 30 minutes."
-Yuck! -Here we probably have everything.
Bilberries have come along.
Now. I'm kidding about the potato.
Then we will make mashed potatoes, with classic accessories.
Damn it!
We will have an onion and veal stock.
Why...?
I don’t see anything!
BEEP
Ouch!
A real chef tastes. Not me.
-He only gets three. -Something cold may break off.
The accessories are classic, but maybe not in this context.
I think we are ready to serve.
Did everyone have good ingredients for meatballs?
For example, they needed minced meat.
But Marika wrote down intestines. That made it tougher.
Erik wrote down strawberry juice.
-Did it taste good? -We’ll look at how it went for them.
Oh.
Are you hungry?
♫ May he live
-I'm made this for you. -Nice.
And it is served.
-No parsley? -They were out.
-Is that lingonberry jam? -I don’t taste any jam.
-It's strawberry jam. -A little strawberry.
-Potato? -You shouldn’t eat carbohydrates.
-Meatballs with ...? -Mashed potatoes.
-Bread? -Yes, it's modern.
-A lot of stuff in the mash. -Yes, there is.
-There is no cream in the sauce. -You want some?
-Classic accessories. -Jellied veal?
-There are twigs in the lingonberry. -It should feel homemade.
Don’t poke at your food.
Are they white eggshells?
-It's not dangerous, is it? -No, I would eat it.
Stand still.
Are there breadcrumbs in the mash? It seems to be just breadcrumbs.
-Should I dip? -Yes.
-Is it just soy? -No, veal stock.
Goodbye.
-I thank you. -We put on the lid.
-I've been with me for a while. -I hope so.
Yes...
David, you didn’t look so fond of Ola's interpretation of the law.
People who say "I can’t cook", can usually cook something.
But when Ola says that, he is telling the truth.
He was surprised when I wanted hot food, and the mash lacked potatoes.
-Was it just onions? -Onions and breadcrumbs.
-Yes. -And eggs, huh?
Butter and eggs. It could have been meringues.
And that was better!
-In as much as … -Veal-meringues!
-I die! -I see nothing wrong.
Marika, you vomited a little when you tasted your sauce.
It was disgusting. It was soy and butter.
It got so salty. I was ashamed to give it to David.
-But the meatballs ... -Of intestines?
-I was smart, and said meatloaf. -Yeah!
-I made balls. -Smart or lucky.
-Did you make meatballs out of a loaf? -Yes, I mashed it.
Then I had some eggs. I get high marks on them.
-It’s the score. -It was me who tasted.
Little old man ... You eat the food and I score.
-Five clear points to Ann. -Yes!
-Ellen gets four points. -Yes!
-Erik gets three points. -Yes! Well-deserved!
Marika gets two points, and Ola ...
I judged by David's faces, so you get one point.
-Yes. -I have a film left in my mouth.
-What do we have going on now? -Another food-based task.
Oh, so good!
-Hello. -Hello.
- "Pour 235 ml of raspberry juice." - "Do not use a measuring instrument."
"Nearest to 235 ml wins. Your time starts now."
I have no idea about this.
I have to think a little.
-How many ml are there in a liter? -235 ...
Centiliters, liters ... Millimeters ... That must be it!
If this is 200 ...
-It's more than you think. -That ... No, it's too little.
Clear! Thank you.
It is 235 ml.
This is not raspberry juice. Is it menstrual blood?
That's 235 ml.
This is perfect.
"Pour raspberry juice." But that's not raspberry juice, so it's wrong.
-It must be so, right? -Well ...
Thanks. 235 ml.
-Did I make a mistake? -No, we'll measure now.
What do you mean?
Why do you take time for everything when it is not timed?
-I have it in my spinal cord. -Yes, yes.
-You smelled a rat. -It was not raspberry juice.
-Wasn't it raspberry juice? -No, that bottle was in the kitchen.
-No! Was that so? -Yes.
-What was that? -Colored water.
Ann would have won if it had been raspberry juice.
-She was only 5 ml away. -Stylish!
-We give Ann one bonus point. -Yes, she should have one.
-I think so too. -You should give minus points, right?
-There was zero ml of raspberry juice in the glasses. -If you combine it, yes.
-There will be no points for anyone. -Exactly.
-Why did we show this then? -Yes...
The people need Friday entertainment.
A deceptive task is still a task. Ann still got a bonus point.
-What is the score? -Everyone got zero, except Ann.
-Erik ... -We throw everything.
Erik retains the lead with 27 points. Ellen is close on his heels.
Marika has 16 points, Ola has 15 points, and Ann has 13 points.
-It’s close. -How nice.
But anything can happen and everything can turn in the final.
We compete for a magazine from the ‘90s and pieces of wood with plaques on them.
Exciting!
It's time for the final. Our competitors are sitting here.
Ellen, you can read the letter. I'll explain how it works.
"Create the longest lasting sound. Bonus points for the best sound."
-"Time begins with David's signal." -Gosh...
You have to create the longest lasting sound with the help of your body.
You should put on blindfolds and headphones.
You do it one at a time. When I put my hand on your shoulder, you start.
Wear blindfolds and headphones. Then I ask ...
♫ Open your door!
-I'm falling off the chair. -No one hears me.
-Ellen, go ahead. -Wait, I have to breathe a little.
Ready, set, go.
It is a rather faint sound. Only dogs can hear it.
-There, it was over. -I should have sung through my teeth.
Sung with teeth ... Then we take Erik.
Stand up. Your longest lasting sound.
Ready, set, go.
-It's choppy. -Is it so persistent?
-There are micro stops on each ... -No!
-It looks disgusting! -All sounds come and go.
The ear vibrates. There will be micro-silences in all sounds.
-I'm not done yet! -This is a children's program.
This does not feel good at all.
Erik, you have a very fit right arm.
Ann has to go one step further.
-Do we hear your sound? -Wait.
-Ready, set, go. -I'm just doing it.
These are small stops! Like a creaking.
It's like her in "The Grudge".
-It sounds like... -There!
-I was dying. -Super good!
Imagine we heard Tibetan throat singing.
You can stand here. Can we hear your longest lasting sound?
-Wait ... A long lasting sound? -Yes. Ready, set, go!
La, la, la ...
There!
-Nice, Marika. -Go forward.
Make your longest lasting sound. Ready, set, go!
OLA CLEARS HIS THROAT
Well...
-Thanks. What?
-There were quite a few sounds. -No, it was a little all the way.
-No, it did not. -They are tough with the breaks.
-We will review the times. -You can come back down to the sofas.
Now it's exciting. How did the final task go?
We have examined the sounds in a laboratory in Southern Europe.
-Say which lab. -It's located in Belgium.
Erik's sound was incredibly short. When making a turn in the fly, -
- you stop for a while. It will be one point for Erik.
-Ola ... -Which laboratory was it?
-It's recognized. -Then I back off.
Ola's sound was longer, but there were small interruptions. It was 3.4 seconds.
Ellen - 15.8 seconds. Ann - 21.6 seconds.
-Marika - 22.1 seconds. -It was tight!
I want to award a bonus point for the coolest sound.
-It was the throat song. -Good.
-What did you do? -Tibetan throat singing.
The three can record a disc of relaxation sounds.
Can’t you make them now, so we can hear?
One, two, three.
-That’s enough. -Erik ...
-No! -You're good at sneezing.
But what is most interesting is who has won.
Things have happened. Ann is not last.
-Yes! -It's Ola who is last!
Ann is instead next to last.
Marika took third place with 21 points.
-It’s good. -Then we have the top battle.
Ellen has 27 points.
-Erik has 28 points! -Yes!
-Erik ... -Look at this!
-Take the goodies for yourself. -Oh oh oh!
We congratulate Erik. What did we learn tonight?
Well, a slide is a slide, -
and a house of cards can be the best solution.
Come back next week. See you then. Bye!
