Welcome to Bäst i Test, the show where we treat folly and frivolity with the utmost seriousness.
And every week, we have a brave panel who test their abilities in fairly unconventional categories.
And the brave ones who're with us this season are:
The creative catalyst, Johanna Nordström!
The ham-handed ham, Morgan Alling!
The almighty authority, Arantxa Àlvarez!
The Västerbotten-resident from Värmland, Olof Wretling!
And this evening's guest is the comedian who embodies the term "good ol' guy":
Here comes Niklas Andersson!
And tonight we will, among other things, see this:
Here it comes!
- Yeah, but I've gotten it! - You can't trust a ten-year-old. You never do that.
This can't be happening!
God damn...you can't do that to people.
You're sabotaging me!
Yes indeedy, that was a small sample. And before we continue, I'll introduce my--
--currently-conjoined-with-his-stopwatch, mustachioed assistant David Sundin!
Tick-tock, tick-tock. Tick-tock, tick-tock... No, I'm just kidding. I'm just--yeah.
But the stopwatch is always there, that's the way it is.
- That's the way it is. And welcome, panel. Are you all feeling well? - Terribly well.
And Niklas, welcome--extra welcome, as the guest of this week.
And how do you think you hold up in this star-studded panel?
Probably wretched. I've suppressed everything we recorded.
I'm sure we'll reawaken those memories, you'll see. What are we serving up as the first test of today?
Well, wouldn't it be nice to start this show with a cup of coffee?
God, that's good!
Well, look at that! If it isn't David! Hi, David!
Cozy. I'll get going right away.
"Fill the coffee cup with coffee from the pot. Fastest wins."
"The test is finished when the coffee cup is full enough to overflow."
"You have ten minutes. Your time starts now."
Just gotta pour, right? Ah. Aha, that's fun...
Oh no, god! No!
- It's stuck there. - No...
No! No, cut it out!
Dammit! This isn't any fun.
Might be doable.
Right. So, the goal was to, as quickly as possible, fill the coffee cup with coffee from the pot.
The only snag was that both the pot and the cup were glued to the table.
- A bit rude, maybe, but... - Which average Joes will we look at first?
We'll start by watching the entire merry band that I usually call "the recurring panel".
Isn't there anything?
Yes!
Here she comes. With a pair of...protective goggles.
- But that turns out to not be too shabby. - That was good.
- May I interest you in a bit of coffee? - But god, that's good!
In this minute, you fetch an inflatable flamingo...
...zip-loc bags, and a mallet.
Awful!
Y'know, I've had aquariums.
- Oh damn! - Oh, that's smart.
- A classic siphon. - His name's John Siphon, the guy who invented this. British.
- Might be a bit of spillage, but that might... - Yeah, but this is how it is sometimes. I've worked in cafés. I wasn't good.
Until it overflows.
- There. - You're welcome. Stockholm price: 25 bucks.
Look away, David, so you don't have to see this misery.
Overflowed, there.
That's overflowed, right? So now you've poured coffee from the pot into the cup?
- Yes. - Yes!
Now, see here!
- Exactly. - Whoops. Sorry.
There. Bit of a messy snack pause, maybe, but thanks for a pleasant coffee break.
It's a rave-snack break, this.
- Olof, what were the advantages of a siphon, here? - It--but it--it was palated.
Palate-warm. He's sensitive to heat, David.
But Johanna, the goggles--were they optimal, do you think?
I was just laughing the whole time, 'cause I thought it was so funny, so I just grabbed something. But it still went...good, I think.
- It still went...I was so glad. - That sounds good, doesn't it.
Now, then. Would be nice to know the times here.
Right. Then let's see--Arantxa tried out a lot of different stuff for 4 minutes and 16 seconds.
Olof: Siphon. Bit of a narrow hose, maybe. 3 minutes and 29 seconds.
Morgan: 1 minute and 36 seconds. Thanks for that. But the joy won't last forever...
Johanna--one second faster than Morgan, and so in the lead with 1 minute and 35 seconds.
Yeah, that's nice. But we do have one coffee waiter left, right?
Yes indeed. We've got Niklas left, and here he comes.
"Fill the coffee cup with coffee... from the pot." Aah. There goes a lot, I think.
I'm just gonna test out once--just test doing this, once.
Ah, that's not gonna work. Or it will...?
Nah, that's not gonna work. I'll have to...
This...
But god, that's fast!
- They're made out of fiberboard, those. - I know, I know...
Now it runneth over, at least. There you have it.
Coffee from the pot, filled to the brim.
Ah, no. ...Good work.
Why'd I bring these?
- That was real damn nice! - Well, wow. This was cool to...yes. Are you pleased with your solution?
Yeah. We've done one test, but...yeah, so far I'm pleased.
But there was this thing about it being timed. How did Niklas do, timewise?
Well, Niklas' very snazzy solution turned out to be the absolute worst of all of them, purely timewise.
For 5 minutes and 20 seconds, he was at it.
So, the turnout of this is 1 point for Niklas, 2 for Arantxa, 3 for Olof--
--4 for Morgan and, with a margin of one second, 5 for Johanna.
So, Johanna takes the lead in the standings. But what do they have the chance to win in tonight's show?
Oh boy, Babben, tonight's prize is--and this, this is really cool--the winner gets this grand trophy!
Which has on it, clearly engraved: "I won an episode of Bäst i Test season 5." Right?
Wow, what a prize! What a prize.
Luxury and no mistake. And what are we getting up to now, then?
Now, we're throwing some garbage long-distance.
Oh no, that's right.
- Hi. - Hello!
"Throw something in the garbage can. The lid of the garbage can has to be closed when you're throwing."
"The one who throws something in the garbage can from the longest distance wins."
"You have fifteen minutes and an infinite amount of attempts. Your time starts now."
- That's tough. But fun. Really fun! Really. Not tough at all, just...gotta think. - Thank you, thank you...
I get the gist! G'bye!
Right. So, the goal was to throw something into the garbage can. But the lid of the garbage can has to be on while you throw.
There were infinite attempts, and the one who throws something in the garbage can from the longest distance wins.
Mhm. So it's going to land in the garbage can despite the lid being on.
Yes, it'll be interesting to see how our competitors solve that paradox, here.
And whose attempt are we watching first?
I think we'll start out strong, with Olof Wretling.
- A ball, it is. - A ball, and we'll do it like this.
- If you press it, then. - Right. When you say to, I'll press it.
Now!
- Damn, I should've gotten... - Should've had two balls, Olof.
There. And now!
Right, then we've got that. We've found a principle, now.
Alright, so the lid's closed, you throw it and say "now", I'll open it...
You'll open it and say "Oh damn!". So that you've got a line.
Step on it!
- Oh damn...I slipped. - Ah, that's good! And I'll throw it!
Here it comes!
Yes!
- Bam! - Wow. Good work.
- You're pleased with--you don't want to try again? - No, no, no. That did it.
- Not getting further than this. - No.
And the lid was closed, and then it opened, and you got it.
- So nothing can have gone wrong, really. - No, nothing went wrong. That did it.
Right, Olof--you're a smart guy, you might've already figured out that there was something not quite right here.
What wasn't quite right? Was it the siphon?
No, the siphon worked well. But it was this thing, that the lid was open when you threw.
It should've been closed when you threw. Sadly.
- But who are we throwing ourselves at next? - Now, then! Here come Johanna, Morgan and Arantxa.
- It has to be closed when I'm throwing. - Like now.
When I'm throwing, it has to be closed.
- When you're throwing, it's closed. - Okay.
Now I'm putting this ball down. I'm not touching it, which means you can step on the ped...
- We've got that one. - Yeah, we've got that one.
Whoops, it's closed. It'd be funny if I threw a ball.
- Nice, Morgan. - Sort of like that.
That might've been...surely 20 centimeters. Do you want to do another?
- But I threw from here to there. - The distance is between you and the bin.
This is a variation.
- Now it's closed. - Yeah, it's closed now.
And you're going to throw, and then, somehow, I still want you to get it in.
Yeah, that...I've got that.
I didn't get it!
- Hang on, now I've gotta go into... - Go into yourself for a while?
I'm getting so nervous.
- Do you get it, or do you not get it? - Yeah, I've gotten it! But it's impossible!
"Throw something in the garbage can. The lid-- the lid has to be closed while you're throwing."
That's right.
- When you're throwing, it has to be closed. - It's closed, then.
But how--that can't--how am I gonna get it in, then?
I didn't get it at all!
- Now we've got a slightly longer pipe. - Exactly. Slightly longer pipe.
- I'm throwing it. It's rolling. It's rolling... - You've thrown it.
- I threw it a long time ago. - Narrow, there--it's gotten a bit stuck.
Yeah, but isn't it rolli...okay.
- Throw, hup! - Aha. Okay, I get it now.
Do you know what's a bit funny? That you said, so many times, that you'd gotten it.
- Do you believe in me, David? - Yes indeed.
One, two, three! There! That went great!
- When you yell "now", I'll open it. - One, two, three!
..."Now" was your line.
- Are you ready? - Now?
Yeah. One, two, three.
Yeah, good! Yay!
I've, like...I've done handball. I should know this.
- You've done handball? - Yeah.
Now!
Handball.
And...now!
Now that you've gotten it, Johanna... Nothing can stop you now.
- Three, two, one... - Now!
Now! No--oh no, god...
- Oh... - Good work.
Sorry.
Yes, Johanna. Now you've got it, at least.
I think I stood there for...I got it, but I didn't get it--
--so I needed to explain it to myself: "I get it." And David was standing like this:
- "Uh huh?" - Yeah, you spent most of your time on this detail.
- But I...I didn't get any of it. - But then, your old handball tricks came out.
- Yeah, then they did. - Yes, sir.
I even think you hit David there with a ball-- wasn't that the case?
- Yeah, I remember this as being a hit. Absolutely. - I didn't mean to.
Yeah, but you can take a beating, David. I've gotta give you that, actually.
- Arantxa, you did do an...Olof, here. - Yeah, something went wrong here with the lid. Tiny detail: The lid.
Otherwise, it was super.
Your track really worked. While Morgan, you constructed a bunch of different tracks, but you never really hit your stride here.
- No, not really. Not really--I can't say that. - But we've got one trickster to go.
We do, actually. Totally correct. Last out is, once again, the good ol' guy Niklas Andersson.
We'll do it like this, then. We'll throw into this.
Let's head out, now. Fifteen minutes.
- We'll do it like this. - A funnel solution?
And your job? Is it fulfilling?
Yeah, it's going well, I think.
Now we're gonna...
- That was close, there. - Yeah. They're still not going in!
- Could it be that you're standing too far away? - Yeah. Shit, I've gotta swallow my pride a little.
- But how's that possible? - Four minutes to go.
No, this can't be happening!
You do have a really good solution, so it'd be a shame if it got spoiled due to incompetence here in the end.
Ah, but this can't be done...
There we have one.
No! That one, then?
- Don't have the energy for any more, now. - Three, two, one, zero.
- But that was closed, and they went in. - Yeah, it was.
Good work.
An upside-down solution, quite simply. But this giant funnel, do you think it helped or harmed?
Yeah, that was good, but I forgot to--I should've removed the rod in the middle, which makes it so you can open the bin.
And then...I didn't think you cheered me on too much, David.
- I had a very positive attitude about this solution. - Until a bunch of balls hit you?
Yeah, but I held--I did--I just followed instructions.
- Yeah, but you could've... - I don't do that sort of thing.
But pretty good thinking, huh!
Very good, I'd say. You did get one full hit in, if nothing else.
How far did everyone throw?
- Well, let's see here. Olof, you got nothing... - But--I--can--eh--I did throw twice.
- Did I do it wrong the first time too? - First off, you got it wrong the first time...
What did I do wrong--because I'm like Johanna. I don't get it.
The lid...should be closed...when you're throwing.
Aha...
- Then you can open it... - Ah, but I get it. I'm pretending I get it.
- Can I ask--it needs to be closed, but it doesn't have to be opened? - You're kidding me, now.
No, the lid's closed when you throw, but the ball still needs to go in, which it did for Niklas.
- Yeah, the back door. Absolutely. - How many points did I get?
Right. Then, the turnout is that...Olof, you didn't have any approved throws at all. I said that before.
Arantxa's longest approved throw was 4.42 meters. You did still get one approved throw.
Morgan: 5.55 meters, you threw.
Niklas: 8.37 meters. Good throwing.
And Johanna, who has actually done handball, slammed it in from 8.91 meters--
--and therefore gets 5 points! - Again? Ah, what is this...
It's the handball.
- What are we testing now? - Now, it's time to talk about yourself.
"Converse with a stranger. Longest conversation wins."
- "You may only talk about yourself." - "You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now." Okay.
Oh no, that's so rough! Ugh, I'm gonna die...
Y'know, I'm from Västerbotten. This cuts me deep, needing to talk about myself.
Right. So, the goal here was to talk to a stranger for as long as possible--
but you were only allowed to talk about yourself, which, of course, complicated matters somewhat.
- Have you loaded up the first clip? - Yes indeed, I sure have.
We'll start by watching those who were forced to listen to Olof.
There's a bunch of kindergarteners over there. They're good listeners.
- Does anyone want to hear a story? - Yeah!
- I'm allergic to cats, dogs, horses... - I've got a dog.
Yeah, but we're talking about me now. I've got a cat now, a Siberian cat, and that doesn't make you as...
I really like cheetahs and leopards.
But we're talking about me now. The world's fastest animal is the cheetah. I'm also pretty...
- But I'm faster than my big sister, at least. - Yeah, but we're talking about me now. I'm very fast.
I can run like a gazelle.
I thou--I actually thought that if someone's almost 100 years, like you are, don't you die then?
- Yeah, well, I'm not... - A turtle can get that old.
I'm not...we're talking about me now. I'm not a turtle.
David Sundin!?
- Yeah, but we're talking about me now! I've got, eh, uh... - Good day, good day. How are you doing?
Yeah, so--we've been talking about me, I've told them about my allergies and how dangerous horses are...
- We've talked about my age... - David! David! David!
- Good work. - David! David! David!
We're talking about me now. Olof! Olof! It's got a nicer ring to it, David's such a rough name...
- Well then, Olof. How tough was this? - It was...absolutely awfully horrible.
We'll have to hope the others find someone better than these tough-crowd kindergarteners.
Yes. Arantxa, Morgan and Niklas picked their victims carefully.
I was gonna play king Herodes in a Nativity play. And all my friends went like: "Oh, Morgan! It's gonna be really fun!"
But what else have I done...I worked at a big telecom company, before.
You wanna know something that happened to me when I was young?
- Do I want to? - Do you...? Yeah, you do.
So I'd worked one day in the summer. And the weather was really nice.
And before that it was non-stop rain.
"Yeah, but Arantxa, then you've gotta take care of them. You've gotta take care of the dwarf hamsters." "I promise, I will."
Yeah, but you can't trust a ten-year-old. You never do that. Hands-down. I don't know if it's something like, scientific.
And me, still being an actor, I want to play center stage...
...and want everyone to listen to me and look at me, admire me...
Horoscope: Cancer. Born in the middle of July. Never got a party.
- I step on the dwarf hamster, and it dies, of course. - Uh huh.
But we've got a dog, now. A family dog.
- I took theatre for a while, but I don't know. It wasn't really my thing. - Yeah.
- But for me, at least, I discovered that I loved it from the get-go. - No, god, you poor thing...
- I'm taking the train home tonight, so... - We've built a house!
- And you know what... - Three, two, one, zero.
Have a good time. Don't forget me.
- Good work. - Yeah. It was, wasn't it?
- Did it feel good? - Yeah, but really nice. It feels good to talk about yourself, as an actor.
- Poor Nina. - Really, I'd say.
But you don't know the story! You weren't here!
Like, the thing was that I wanted two dwarf hamsters, and I got them, the first time...
But the second time, they died.
Right then, Arantxa. You've got your dwarf hamster story here--
- Yeah, I do. - --and it seems to be pretty long and comprehensive. A proper soapbox session.
Rest in peace, Nina. And Bettan. They're lying somewhere. I mean, I know where they're buried, I had to bury them--
Now you're at it again, just so you know...
- The time's up. - But we're talking about me, now.
Niklas, like--I thought you were unnerving.
You were standing there, with the hair: "I've worked for a telecom company."
But it felt like--didn't you see that they were scared of you?
They didn't want to listen, but I thought they could stay for at least...20 minutes, was the time.
- You're a social genius. - It's like a regular Tuesday in Göteborg.
Morgan, were they impressed that you were a real actor?
No, I don't think they knew-- had any idea who I was.
But I thought it was insanely rough, I can say, to stand there talking. As opposed to...
But I'm still from Göteborg! It's really weird. I've gotten Stockholmified.
- But David, we do have one real motormouth left. - Yes, we sure do. And now we're talking Johanna.
Dammit, this is awful! Ugh, god damn, this is so awful! Couldn't I just get to talk about someone else?
Oh wait, I'm gonna panic. I'm not gonna be able to do this. And she's gonna be like: "Uh huh, who are you?"
Hi, hi! Hi. Hi, hi... God, I can't do it.
I couldn't!
I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I couldn't say anything about myself.
I couldn't say "hi, I'm Johanna". Shit, I'll just have to go for it. I'm going for it.
I'll just say "hi" first, and we'll see.
Hi! Hi, I'm Johanna. I work as a comedian. I don't know, maybe you've seen...
I do some standup and stuff like that.
- No, sorry. - No?
So that's what I do... and now I'm standing here, with you...
So that...was that...
So I'm gonna leave now, 'cause I've gotta go--
--and do...standup.
So...goodbye!
Oh, I'm gonna die. No but god, poor woman!
Urgh, I feel so bad now. Urgh. God damn!
You can't do that to people.
- Ah, you. Confess to us, sister. How was that? - Terrible!
I've never felt so bad in my whole life, I think. Like, it was...I didn't know what I was gonna...
I think her and many others are actually getting hyped for your standup, that you were gonna do.
She's like "I'm tagging along, now this I wanna see!"
- What a gaze! - Ah, like--god damn...
David, who scored the best in this test? Because something tells me it's not Johanna.
No, very correctly this wasn't in the middle of Johanna's comfort zone, so 1 point for Johanna.
Olof didn't quite manage to captivate these kindergarteners and gets 2 points.
Morgan lost the girls a little around the house-building , I'd say, but you still get 3 points.
Arantxa's presentation about dwarf hamsters , that went on -- 4 points.
But the one who brings it home is Niklas, who gushed forth like a babbling brook -- 5 points!
Now we'll move on with something less embarrassing, hopefully. And speaking of things that are lesser and embarrassing:
David, it's time for today's interview.
Already? Wow, what a...wow!
There, I think a lot of people went a bit: "Oh, now? Okay." And that's when I say: "Let's go."
Okay! Niklas Andersson isn't recognized by many.
But you're here. Well, guess you've...done it with Babben or something, one can suspect. You're from Göteborg, too. Fun.
Fun. There they're sort of...like...like they are, from-- like they are. From Göteborg.
And liking...this and that, as it may turn out.
There's shrimp. Shrimp in Göteborg, allegedly. Do you like shrimp?
- Yes. - I'll check a big...a big, meaty 'yes' on that question.
He likes shrimp, that guy. And how interesting, and how lucky for you, Niklas--
--namely because it's time to play "Shrimp feast"!
Right, everyone. Then it's time to play a lovely, regular old-fashioned game of "Shrimp feast".
Niklas, you've got a letter under the cushion of your chair, which you can get out and read to the others--
--to the viewers, to me, to Babben, and so on.
"When it's your turn, say a word that starts with 'räk-'" [shrimp-]
"--and throw a shrimp in the net in front of you."
"If you say a word someone else has already said, a word that doesn't exist--"
"--or miss your shrimp-throw, you're out of the contest."
"Most shrimp in the net when the test's over wins. The test starts on David's signal."
So, you're going to take turns saying words that start with 'räk-'.
After you've said them, you throw a shrimp in the net in front of you.
If you say a word someone else has already said, you're out.
If you miss your net, you're out. If you say a word that doesn't exist, you're out.
We'll start with Olof, who'll be the first to say a word that starts with 'räk-', then throw a shrimp into his net.
Olof, your time starts now.
Shrimp fest.
Arantxa's turn.
You hit it, too. That was super. Räkning [bill].
- No! - That means that Arantxa, in an early stage, is out.
Shrimp trawler.
Uh, räknare. [calculator]
- Johanna's turn. - Uh, shrimp hoagie.
But you'd done handball!
- Despite Johanna having done handball, she's also out. - This was an upset.
Arantxa's out and Johanna's out. Both were eliminated in this, the first round.
We'll enter round 2. God, what an exciting round of "Shrimp feast".
Shrimp feast!
Shrimp shell.
Shrimp cheese tube.
- Mm. Olof's turn. - Shrimp cheese.
Niklas' turn.
- A word, please. - Five, four, three...
Shrimp bristles. The bristles...themselves.
- The bristles...? Shrimp bristles. - What's that?
- It's the haircut. Morgan's turn. - Uh...rectum? Can I--
- That's spelled with an E. - Yeah, it's spelled with an E, but you say...
- Unless you mean the measurement, räk-tum...[shrimp-thumb] - ...Which doesn't exist.
- So Morgan's out. - God dammit, so mean.
Got eliminated in that round.
- Then we'll enter the next round. - Shrimp broth.
- Shrimp sandwich. - Shrimp head.
Shrimp trawler captain.
- Then it's my turn? - Three, two...
- Shrimp moustache! - ...Which is a word that's very hard to approve.
- Shrimp moustache! - Shrimps have bristles, but no moustache.
5 points for Niklas, 4 for Olof, 3 for Morgan, 2 for Arantxa and Johanna!
- Wow! - And that's how we play "Shrimp feast".
Fantastic shrimp feast. And you've got a result?
I really do. That was one of the most exciting rounds of "Shrimp Feast" we've seen on Swedish television, actually.
We find, in third place after the points have been dsistributed, Olof and Arantxa. Split third place. Wow!
Then we've got a split second place of 13 points each: Morgan and Johanna. Wow!
But in the lead, 15 points: Niklas Andersson!
- Now that was unexpected. - It's even. 10 points, 13 points, 15 points. Incredibly even.
Alright, Niklas. You'll have to hold onto this. And what are we serving up next?
Now, everyone, we'll move on to the next test, which will be one of great art.
- Hello. - Hi.
"Paint a portrait of Babben on sixteen pages."
- "Best portrait wins." - "You have to use all sixteen pages."
"And may not remove the pages from the easle while the painting is ongoing."
"When you're finished painting, the sixteen pages will be placed according to the blueprint."
"You have fifteen minutes. Your time starts now."
- Exciting! - Thanks.
Right, so the goal was to paint as good and nice a portrait of Babben as possible.
This portrait was spread out over sixteen pages--
--after which all sixteen pages would be assembled according to the numbered blueprint.
And which of these artists will we be starting with?
There may possibly be some beautiful creations from Arantxa, Morgan and Johanna.
- 2.5 minutes have passed out of the 15. - Yeah, but you know, an artist has to take their time.
- But how am I supposed to know...? - That's--that's what you've got this map for.
This paper will become one of these squares, and then it's assembled together.
- You've got it? - Yeah, I got it.
Okay, I get it. This, number one--is the one that's gonna be furthest up here, so that'll be the hair.
That means you've interpreted it, so to speak, as the opposite of what I was saying.
- Okay. Now I got it, for real. - Right. So before when we spoke, if you'd got it...you hadn't got it.
- But now! - Now!
- A little chin? - The chin's here, and here's some, like...
The chins?
- Like, this is gonna be so dang-- - 5 minutes have passed, and you've done 1 page out of 16.
- I'm looking here, as you can see there... - A little template.
- There'll be two shoulders. - I think Babben will appreciate that.
Now we come to the eyes...looks like a little rat, but that's not at all how I was thinking--with a little tail, there...
- I only drew one last time, though. - So how many eyes have you reached now, would you say?
14, 13...no, but now it's fourte--no, I messed this up.
13's, that's not...
She'll have the eye like in a Salvador Dalí-painting--a bit outside.
There's the eyebrow, and bushy. Bah-bah-bam-bam-bam. Eyebrow, bushy. Bush!
- The second nose... - The second nose?
- Art's not meant to be understood. - And then we've got the mouth, the mouth parts, that's super important.
- There's one of them. - One of the mouths?
- An ear, with a bit of ear wax. - Now it's 14, so I'll draw an ear there, too.
- Her hearing's so good. - Ah, there's a lot of pages left. I'm on, on...I lost my place.
- There. - That's right. Same size for both of the eyes.
- I hope so! - And hair...
A little hair. In one of the corners, only.
- Three, two,, one, zero. - And then--there's a bit of a twinkle in the eye.
- Could maybe do better than that, but not from me. - Ugh, she's gonna be really disappointed.
I think a lot of us will be, but we'll see. Who--who knows.
When you put these together later, you might-- "Wow! I really see that it's Babben and all her ears."
- Did you get any nose in there, do you think? - Uh, I think so. But you don't need a nose.
- Thank you. - No, thank YOU.
Yes, David...I didn't really get a good vibe from this segment, I must say.
Johanna, what do you mean about me having two noses?
No, but I--when I draw a nose in a cartoon, I draw like, 'tchk' and 'tchk'.
- That was one nose and the other nose? - A parenthesis...
- A pare...yeah... - A parentheses nose.
And Arantxa, did you really keep track of the order?
That's what's going to be exciting to see.
I don't actually know! But it was a bit hard to puzzle it all together.
- And Morgun... - "Morgun"? That's my artist name.
You did at least have a plan, but did you follow it?
No, I don't think so. I dropped it around 13, 14 thereabouts--
--but that's Morgun who... It's his aesthetic, I can't help it.
- Should we look at their assembled pictures now? - Well, so...
We'll save that a bit, I think, because I think it might be a bit much to take in, Babben, all at once.
First, we'll look at the artistic spirits Niklas and Olof.
This is my plan.
There she is, in all her glory.
- Smart. - Her characteristic shoulders.
- Number one's half a mouth. - Very happy.
That sort of Babben-joy.
- Here, see how much time I'm saving. - That's right. There's the haircut.
It feels very well-planned, everything, Olof. I'll tell you that.
Babben's going to be pleased when she sees that I'm this careful.
Now, take note of that I'm using the right colors, also.
Then I'll do 14, and then I've gotta think opposites, because we're above, now, David.
And then we'll jump up, and exit somewhere around there.
You'll barely notice where the seams between the papers are, when it's this precise.
- 5's hair. Lot of hair. - And Babben's got her eyes very close together.
You don't usually keep that in mind, because you're used to seeing her in profile.
- 6: Hair. - That's hair, too.
- Feels like there's a lot of hairs, huh? - Yeah. But she does have a lot of hair.
I've got red there, and I'll do--no!
Here, I've gotta do it. Otherwise she'll get very spread-out eyes.
Dammit! I've been counting that. No!
Right, then we'll have to figure out something else. This could be the earring, then.
Ear! Damn, that's hard.
- Now we're supposed to be here... - 1 minute and 50 seconds.
Here, the neck's going to sit--where were we, we were there--goes up there...
Pretty exactly there. Incredibly long neck.
- Come on now, Wretling! 8, 8, 8... - Last page, last page...
- 1.5 minutes. - And then down in the three, up with a neck, and...
The 3, the 3...the 3's actually just a continuation of the body!
- There! Done. - There!
- Good work. We'll see how it turns out. - Are we laying it out now? No. We'll save it.
- Sorry, Babben. - Heard a little "sorry" there--that's never out of place, Niklas.
Was it easy to get lost? There were a lot of numbers. 15...
Yes, and then there's that a pen can never do justice to your beauty, Babben.
Flattery can help, but maybe not in this case. We'll see.
Shall we...at least you two aren't symptomatic...
We've got a nervous breakdown here in the studio, but we'll move on. We'll act like it's nothing.
We'll start to reveal these now. We may have to take Arantxa first.
Since it seems you've got something you want to share. Arantxa's portrait of Babben Larsson.
This turned out really nice! Very artsy. I'm really pleased with this.
- But, god! - You're hearing "ooh"s and "aah"s in the studio.
- Why do I have a goatee? - Well, that's...this was...maybe something that got a bit upside-down.
- Is it the right side up? - Isn't it? Are these the shoulders, maybe?
- And who are we looking at now? - We'll take a look at Olof's portrait of Babben Larsson.
- Wow! - Can't get eyes closer than that...
Very, very close between the eyes, there.
- But it--it--it fits together. - Yeah!
- You can't see the seams. - But hold it next to Babben, then.
Is that the earring on the other side?
Yeah, because there you've got the earring, and it's like--like that.
She's sort of got one ear in the temple and one ear out in the hairline.
- Yeah, but she did like this! - We shouldn't complain, Olof. We've seen Arantxa's.
- But this was dope as hell, hello! One million dollars! - And I'm from Gotland--we are a bit inbred, if I'm honest.
In that case, we'd like to see Niklas' artwork.
Oh!
- There's hair both up and down, as I perceive it. - Yeah, but you've got a feather boa down here.
- Do I also have some sort of thick sideburns, or what's that on the sides? - That's the skin.
- The nose seems to have been excluded. - Yeah...but that has to be something from when you assembled it.
- And the ears are pretty exactly... - Good height with the eyes.
We'll move on, now. Morgan, what nice thing have you made there that you're fiddling with?
Oh, this wasn't Morgan, it was Morgun who made this. This, I want to...
- Picasso, eat your heart out! - Yeah, exactly! Exactly!
- This is the cubism's... - Yes. You've got three eyes and--three eyes.
- You grew up near Ringhals. [nuclear plant] - Got some flowers...and no nose there either, you two are united in Babben not having a nose.
But fortunately, we already know Johanna's drawn two.
So go ahead and show your portrait, Johanna.
- No...! - There it is!
- Then we'll see... - But wait! But, wait...
There's an explanation for... Like, it's...
The explanation is...
Can we get Johanna's image on the screen, and we can do a little run-through...
So, we've got ear, ear, ear.
- Eye, eye...there's a whole lot of each. - It looks like an orienteering map.
Like, I didn't think that the whole square was, like, the thing.
- You thought just one sheet of the sketchbook? - No, but it was...I, uh...I...
- Johanna, this is indefensible. - No. It is what it is.
Babben, how do you want to distribute the points here to our artists?
Well, we'll see. The bottom's pretty easy: Johanna, 1 point.
Morgan, 2 points. Can't go wrong with three eyes.
Niklas, 3 points.
Wait, wait, wait--can we get Niklas' portrait here, and we'll just look at a tiny detail...
We see over here one sheet that's completely blank--
- --where he hadn't drawn anything. And did you have to use every sheet? - No.
Yes, you had to use all the sheets, Niklas.
- Yeah, but that can't be poss--you can't-- - Niklas, you're sadly disqualified with zero points.
So this does change the points distribution, so Johanna...no, you're staying on 1 point.
We'll shove Morgan up to 3 instead.
Then we've also got a dead heat between the artistic souls Arantxa and Olof, so I'll judge it like this--
--Olof gets 5 points and Arantxa 4. Yes indeed!
- Then we'll move on with our lives. - We will, and we'll head on over to the golf course.
I just laugh whenever I see you. Like, in a good way.
"Hit the egg into the hole in as few hits as possible."
- Boiled or raw? Or do you not get to know? - It's raw.
Ah, it's raw. Okay, you do get to know.
"You may not touch the egg with anything but your golf club."
"If the egg breaks, you're disqualified."
"While you're performing the test, you must constantly talk about how bad you are at sports."
- "Your time starts now." Ah god dangit, I'm so insanely bad at sports. - Bad luck.
But it's hits, not shoves. You can't go around pushing it or such.
- Ah, 'cause that's exactly what I was going to do. - Yeah. That's why I said it.
- 'Cause you knew what I was thinking. - Yeah.
Right. So, the goal was to hit a raw egg into the hole in as few careful hits as possible.
And you weren't allowed to touch the egg with anything other than the golf club.
While the test was ongoing, you were also going to talk about how bad you were at sports.
- And how bad were they, really? - There were peaks and valleys, I'd say, actually--well, mostly valleys, to be honest.
We'll start with Olof, Johanna and Arantxa.
Let's go, then.
Then I can start by saying that it's, like--you can hit it that way, but you can see that it's designed to go in the other direction.
Oh, I thought it was like, an egg cup. Okay. But I'm so damn bad at sports.
- That's one. - I did play handball for a while.
- And I was the worst on the team there, actually. Totally true. - Two.
Sports and I, we don't go hand in glove.
I've never liked it, because I've-- I've got my anatomy against me.
- As you can see, I've got no... - Three.
- And what now? - Now you've got a club's-length from the edge, here. Or a knife's-length, actually.
- But... - No!
The egg did also break, and that makes you...disqualified.
And that might be because you're so...bad at sports, yes.
- Thanks. - Thanks for today.
- We built this, and fixed the fountain, and... - It was nice. It was nice.
And that was two. Would you say that the egg's whole, or has it broken?
I'd say that it's...it has its beauty marks.
- You can see here, it's crack-- - No, but you did that. You did that, not me.
- Good work. - But you made the hole. You broke the egg. You're sabotaging me!
- Three. It's starting to get risky here. - Why?
Risky for you, that's success for me.
- That went badly. - Should we evaluate if it's broken or not?
- I don't think it's broken, me. - Here--it's a bit broken, there.
Sometimes it can be like that, that it just wants to sunbathe a bit. Then it crawls back together.
You'll have to give this five minutes, and you'll see it jump back in.
Y'know, that broad back... that's so damn grumpy.
Yes, Olof. You broke the egg, otherwise I thought we might've had a rewarding discussion--
--about hits as opposed to thrusts, actually.
But fortunately, you were disqualified. Arantxa, you also went a bit too hard.
Yeah, but David went the hardest, I'd say. Or was I the only one who saw it?
I think it might be hard to run your thumb through an eggshell if it's not slightly cracked before.
- But David's also extremely strong. - That's also true. You're right about that, actually.
- But it was broken. - But it was what it was.
And Johanna, you also went for strength, and that was a bit too much for this egg.
- Yeah, that's...on me. - You at least feel like this one's on you?
- Because you're bad at sports? - Because I'm so terribly...but, I've done handball.
- Who next? - Now it's Morgan's turn to putt out.
Oh, huh.
I think...we're going to be smart, now.
Ow!
I've got several plans going on!
- And there, I touched the egg. One hit. - One hit.
One hit.
Damn, it's...!
One hit.
- One hit. - One hit. I remember once when I played this, like, karate.
I was a karate champion in judo, once.
One hit. Are you regretting your first hit?
- Never. - Then you would've had one, so to speak, but you're at one.
I'm so scared...
Oh! And there I was--ooh, touching with something...ah, mhm.
I'm so scared this is going to break when it goes down in this...plate. Because it's a plate, right?
I don't know anything about sports. I'm so...
There! The egg's intact. One hit.
- Good work. - Thanks! Yes!
"One hit", I'll write. Could've been zero.
But it does say "hit one hit", right? It said "one hit", right? One hit...
- Thanks. - Thanks, David. You're awesome.
Morgan, one hit. Your comeback's here! No, that was great!
- You think so? - Yeah!
Man, that makes me happy! Well, but--or...?
- Yeah, there's someone left, right? - Yes, there is.
The last egg-golfer to try to lower their handicap is Niklas.
- I have to hit it in there? - In as few hits as possible.
If I don't hit a single hit, right? Zero? I'll go for it, David.
And it's there, then. It's sort of like flipping, like, a muffin.
But I've never made muffins...yeah, I have, at some point.
In kindergarten or something. Sorry--pre-school. Someone might get mad, now.
We can take a look, then.
- That's right. - That's zero hits, right?
- Good work. - Perfect.
- You turned out to be pretty good at sports. - Yeah, I--oh!
- Can I do it again? - No, we've got it there.
- But still, zero. That's still good. - Argh!
I do have to say, you've come up with the smartest solutions, but you also make the dumbest mistakes.
Crazy--once again you trip on the finish line and get disqualified, again.
- But it was still clever. - Incredibly clever, if you only read half the letter.
So, here's the turn-out of the egg test:
Morgan was the only one who remained, since everyone else got eliminated, so Morgan gets a crystal clear 5.
But anything can happen and everything can change, because now it's time for the finale.
It's time for a variant of a classic in Bäst i Test-contexts.
Johanna, kindly read the letter with instructions for your co-competitors and for Babben, of course.
"Apply jelly candies to your cucumber cactus."
"You can choose to apply one, two, three, four or five jelly candies to your cucumber cactus."
"The one with the lowest unique amount of jelly candies on their cucumber cactus wins."
"The test starts on David's signal."
What we're dealing with here is a classic cucumber cactus, which we've placed candy on.
You'll select an amount that you're pleased with. The goal is to have as low an amount as possible--
--lowest unique number wins. For example, if Johanna has two jelly candies, and you also have two jelly candies, you're both out.
If you then have three, you, in that moment, have the lowest unique amount. But if you then have one, you're the winner.
Olof, you're probably also competing. Have you understood?
Everyone goes at the same time, for example now. Alter the amount of jelly candies if you wish.
Three, two, one, back off.
Then it's time to present the results.
Johanna has chosen to save--
--one jelly candy on her cucumber cactus.
So, that's currently the lowest number.
- I'm not saying anything, but I'm ashamed. - We move on to Morgan. He's chosen to have...
...one jelly candy on his cucumber cactus.
Which means that both Johanna and Morgan are eliminated.
Niklas has chosen to save one jelly candy on his cucumber cactus.
- I had to go for it. I'm last. - Brave. Brave, but currently you're all eliminated.
Arantxa has chosen to save...
...four jelly candies. This is, right now, the lowest unique number.
- If Olof has one jelly candy... - Then that's insane!
If Olof has one jelly candy he's out, just like them, and you win with four jelly candies.
If he's got two jelly candies, Olof wins. If he has three jelly candies, Olof wins.
If he has four jelly candies, you're both out and we'll play again. If he's got five jelly candies, Arantxa wins.
This is insane if you've got one. Like, it's not possible.
Olof has chosen to keep...
- ...one jelly candy on his cucumber cactus. - No! No, it's so insane!
Arantxa brings this home with four jelly candies!
We've never seen this before in Bäst i Test! Wow!
- Right, everyone. What a thrilling round. - Congratulations, Arantxa. Nice!
- Winning on four, that's incredible. - I've gotta say--thank you, thank you.
So, what happens with the standings now that we've performed our finale--
--is that Arantxa, as lone winner of this competition, gets 5 points.
She therefore rises up to 21 points.
But we can immediately see that that's not enough.
Everyone else gets zero points, and Morgan, with 26 points, wins tonight's episode!
- And the trophy! - Ah, the one I really wanted!
- The trophy you wanted! - The only one I wanted. Thanks!
Right, and what have we learned today? There's many ways to serve coffee--
--I actually only have one nose, and eggs are eggs, and nothing to play golf with.
Thanks so much for tonight! We'll see you next week. Come on, let's extend our congratulations.
- Congrats, Morgan! - Congrats, Morgan. Nice job.
