A warm welcome to a freshly-baked edition of Bäst i Test, straight out of the oven.
In the field of strange tasks against the clock, we can't be beat.
And what stands to be gained for those battling through this buffoonery?
No less than the grand honor of getting to lift my golden bust.
In the spotlight this year, we have:
Against the odds, Charlotta Björck!
For good or ill, Mauri Hermundsson!
With nerves of steel, Behrouz Badreh!
And believe it or not, Maria Lundqvist!
And after all's said and done, Johan Petersson!
In tonight's show we will, among other things, get to see this:
- Voom ahoy! - Ow!
- Rat, rat, rat! - Feel yourself going a bit numb?
- Yeah, they are! The worst! - I don't think I'll get last place.
Welcome, panel.
I want to check up on you a bit. So far, Behrouz, what's been the most fun?
Seeing the tests is the most fun part. I feel like an athlete.
That said, the left and right halves of my brain are currently going through divorce.
I'm disappointed with how it makes me look.
Mauri, are you also disappointed with your thought process?
Me and my self-esteem have gotten divorced, too.
But it is a bit exciting that we feel evenly matched in terms of badness.
- Yeah, actually. - It's so nice.
- I agree with you, Mauri. - It forms community.
And here next to me, paws in the air--
--is our little rules lawyer, David Sundin.
- David, David! - Thank you, thank you, Babben.
I've got this situation on lock. I leave nothing to chance.
You really do keep it together. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
- But enough chit-chat, let's get going with our first test. - I knew you'd say that, Babben--
- I can almost read your mind by now. - Yeah, it's spooky.
Here it comes -- in tonight's first test, we're going to play a little game called megabilliards.
- That's nice. It's big. - Thanks.
I'll take that.
"Push the red ball into the hole with a single thrust."
"The billiard cue may only strike the white ball."
"You may only strike the white ball when it's on its mark."
"Quickest person to get the red billiard ball into the hole wins."
"If your thrust fails, you must start over."
- "You may not move the hole..." - "...or the markings."
- "You have 30 minutes." - Wait, wait, wait, wait!
I'm not going to understand this. Is that fine?
- Is that a billiard cue? - Yes. Your time starts now.
Yes, the goal was to megathrust the white megaball against the red megaball--
--so the red megaball lands in the megahole.
You're really trying to sell us on megabilliards.
Well, sure, it's incredibly cool. A combination of mega and billiards.
First to chalk up their cue sticks are: Johan, Charlotta and Behrouz.
This is kind of the 'strike the white ball'-test.
We can call it that. We've opted to call it megabilliards.
An experimental thrust would show how the laws of physics work for or against you.
Ah, that's so damn bad.
- So I have to start over now? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're kidding me! Ah, I'm so close. That's crazy.
Got the red one going there, and the red one's rolling...
If you were going to--whoops!
- I can't influence much, here. - Thrust number two.
- That was a much better strike! - Ah, and it went on the other side...
No! Now! No! Dammit, it's so close...
If you could just get into a banana formation...
Is there some technique involved? Am I missing something here?
- It's the spin you put on the ball. - You can't put spin on it.
Oh! Oh, oh! Oh, oh--
No!
And a touch and...it'll go too far, in that case.
- Do you think I did well? - You did really great, David.
I won't change anything, then.
- Oh, oh, Johan. And hup-- - There...come on, now!
It looks pretty good if it takes a curve down there.
It's going straight ahead.
- Exciting. - Yeah, thanks. Not all that exciting.
That's right, there's a bit of spin now. It's coming along nicely, Johan.
- Come on! Yeah, yeah, yeah! - Yeah!
- Woo! David, did you see that? - Good for you. Good for the sport.
And that's how we play megabilliards.
Bit more power, there. And it hits home!
No!
I'm ready to do my thing. Voom, voom, voom!
- Voom ahoy! - Whoa!
It went past that crappy little red ball.
- Can you tell how I'm getting angrier and angrier? - Yeah, moodwise.
What do we have here, then? Oh! Ow.
- How much time to go? - Four minutes.
- This is the last thrust. - Feels good.
- No. - Don't say that. Oh!
Didn't expect that, did you?
There.
Charlotta, you were full of resignation. It didn't even make you happy.
- We were at this for--how long were we at it? - A very, very long time.
I was so tired. You can see it yourselves. It's a disaster.
- And what megatimes did they get? - Fairly even between the two of them.
Johan got 7 minutes and 41 seconds.
Behrouz was a hair ahead. 6 minutes and 23 seconds.
Charlotta muddled through--
--for 27 minutes and 28 seconds of her, and also my, life.
- Still worth a point. - But you didn't give up, Charlotta!
But we haven't seen Maria and Mauri. The Mamas!
That's a fully accurate statement.
Mega-Mauri and Mega-Maria are going to play megabilliards!
Have you understood the task?
- But that one's not red. - ...That one's red.
Oh. Oh, that's right. There has to be a better way to do this.
- I'll just give it a shot, once. - And she's off.
And the question is if it'll...a little roll downwards.
So, the person who's fastest to do this.
So you can either stand around wallowing, or you make sure to get going.
- It's better to think a bit, though. - Oh?
- Oh, oh, oh... - No.
- Oh, damn! - No, you're kidding!
You got it first try?! You've gotta be kidding!
- I never thought I'd make it. My god. - Pretty quick, too.
Incredibly quick.
Hang on! Hang on.
I'll hit it with the ball, and then I might just...push it a bit.
- It's not one of those tests. Let's go. - It's not?
Alright, then I've spent time on nothing.
And it's off.
Stop. You have to be kidding.
No! I'm sorry?!
- How could it be so easy? - I told you, hit it right away. But no, you were all...
Good work. Splendiferous.
Sometimes you have to think outside the box, and sometimes that's a waste of time.
Yeah, but that was still... I had to measure angles and stuff.
What? Like, there was some thinking involved. And I thought, and hit it, and did it right.
What times did we get, here?
Yes, exactly. It wasn't amount of thrusts, it was a question of time.
If Mauri hadn't been chatting away, he might've brought this in.
Wound up in second place, now, with 2 minutes and 26 seconds.
And Maria, you might want to go for a career in megabilliards.
You were the fastest by far, in 1 minute and 14 seconds.
So one point for Charlotta, two for Johan, three for Behrouz--
---four for Mauri and Maria Lundqvist hits the jackpot!
Thank you, thank you.
What a megastart. And now?
In the next test, the goal is to follow my valiant lead--
--and do what I do.
- Howdy. - Hello.
- Howdy-doody. - Howdy.
Oh, Matte's supposed to sit here. [Matte = math]
"Do what David does, exactly after David's done it, in exactly the same amount of time as David did it."
"You must press your button when you've done as David's done."
"If you don't complete a task, ten seconds will be added to your final time."
"The person whose final time is closest to David's wins."
"Your time starts when David presses his button."
In exactly the same amount of time? We'll measure it there, then.
Yes, the goal was to do everything I did for just as long as I did.
If you do, you'll end up matching my final time.
The person who gets closest to it wins.
- Who are we starting with? - Well, how about Johan Petersson?
- Yes! That's approved. - Here he comes.
- Are you ready? - Yes!
I will now eat a banana.
I will now sharpen a pencil.
I will now blink 40 times.
I will now solve a math problem.
Ah, what the hell?
I will now place five rubber bands on my face.
How the hell am I supposed to place those?
No, what the hell. I'm much slower.
I will now open the chest.
I don't have a code, though.
- You should have a four-digit code. - What the hell?
I've got too many numbers in mine.
I will now inflate a balloon.
- Feel yourself going numb a bit? - Yeah.
- It broke. - I will now...
...place the banana peel in the jar of vaseline.
What kind of task is that?
- I will now make a balloon dog. - You've been practicing?
Right...oh!
I don't have a balloon now, though. Adding ten.
And I've missed two tasks, at least.
- I have a theory. I'll run with that. - Fun.
I will now kill the balloon dog.
I don't have a dog to kill. Adding seconds, right?
- Yes, there's vaseline on that. - Good work.
I'm getting out of here.
Yes, Johan. Things started out well, then got a bit wobbly.
No, it was the math. I should've done the math.
- But I had a theory there, about being able to finish anyway. - We'll see how he holds up.
- His results? - Johan failed in the following tasks:
Inflate the balloon, solve the math problem, open the coffin, make and kill the dog.
Which adds 50 seconds.
But thanks to Johan's penalty time and his clever strategy--
--of working things out, he'll only end up with ten seconds above my time.
Excited to see the rest of them with rubber bands, now.
Yes, but I must announce that it's time for a break.
But as soon as we're back, we'll take a look at the others.
To you at home, here's a small test for you. Get a fork.
Hold it up to the TV and say: "What the fork are you on about?"
Your time starts now.
Welcome back. When last our ways parted, we saw Johan try to do exactly the same things as David--
--for exactly as long an amount of time.
The person who best imitates David wins this test.
That's the situation exactly, Babben.
And it's time to see how things went for Berra, Charlotta and Maria.
Are you ready? Let's do this.
I will now eat a banana.
I will now blink 40 times.
I will now solve a math problem.
- Ugh, no. - No!
I will now place five rubber bands on my face.
Ow.
I will now open the chest.
What's the damn code, then? Is that the math problem?
I get it. I should've worked things out.
I will now inflate a balloon.
- I will now make a balloon dog. - Oh! No!
David, you're absolutely incredible.
- You're great. That was lovely. - I will now make a balloon dog.
This could pass as a little seal-dog.
I will now kill the balloon dog.
- Good work. - Thanks.
Good work. Yeah, that's right.
Charlotta, about the rubber bands... how much did they hurt?
They hurt. They hurt a lot. But I think they looked good on me.
- A great look on you. - Yeah, you lifted your actual lip, there.
- And the times? - We'll see.
Charlotta missed the math, the chest, and creating and killing the dog.
40 penalty seconds. She wound up with 41 seconds past my time.
Behrouz makes the exact same mistakes, but ends up 35 seconds away.
Maria didn't solve the math problem and didn't unlock the chest.
20 penalty seconds.
But she turned her time off 2 minutes and 38 seconds before my time--
--and thus receives 2 minutes and 18 seconds.
That's still good, though. Seconds. A lot of seconds.
Alright.
So Johan's still in the lead with a difference of ten seconds, but we've got one copycat left.
Yes indeed. Here he is, the maladjusted Mauri.
- Are you ready? - Are you ready?
- So, it's when we've started. - So, it's when we've started.
- That it applies. - That it applies.
- And you do it after me. - After you. Not at the same time. No.
I will now eat a banana.
I will now sharpen a pencil.
I will now solve a math problem.
Four, one, two, zero.
824.
- 5300. - Oh, Mauri, come on...
I will now place five rubber bands on my face.
I will now open the chest.
- There. - I will now inflate a balloon.
I wil now make a balloon dog.
I have a strategy.
No, I failed. Ten seconds added.
I will now kill the balloon dog.
No, I failed.
- Good work. - Thanks for a wonderful collaboration.
You're not quite well!
- You... - Look at you, David!
What was it like, having an echo on your voice?
- It was like some sort of... - It was like some sort of...
But after that, you started stalling and timing to compensate for your errors.
Yeah, but I'm wondering if it occurred to me too late.
Mauri went for the same strategy as Johan.
To take the penalty seconds consciously, then count in reverse.
He ended up with 20 penalty seconds.
But I think Mauri thought this was going to get subtracted from his time.
So in the end, his result was 35 seconds past my time.
Then we have one point for Maria , two for Charlotta...
Four for Behrouz and Mauri, both 35 seconds away...
And five points for Johan!
What's on the menu for the next test?
To replace a variety of TV-shows that have now vanished--
--we're going to hold a global premiere for some brand new gameshows.
- One, two, three. Bam! - You joined in on that, right?
- Hi, David. - The gang's all here.
I'll read! I'm great at that.
"Create and perform/record an entertaining gameshow."
"It should be inspired and sponsored by the product in one of the boxes."
"You may only open one box."
"Most entertaining gameshow wins."
- "You have 40 minutes." - What vibes do you get from these packages?
Has your time started?
- "Your time starts now." - Okay.
I think they've hidden the most fun thing in the smallest box.
- Don't think. We'll take that one. - We'll open it.
Since that's the conclusion we reached. The mousetrap.
- I think that one. - Yeah? Alright, go for it.
Right, let's see what this is. Oho! Baba ghanoush!
A gameshow inspired by, and sponsored by, baba ganoush.
You don't want to get caught in the mousetrap.
That's good. You answer questions. If you get them wrong, the mousetrap descends.
- David's a contestant. - He's the one we spring it on.
- Let's think this through a bit. - A gameshow?
Yes indeed, time for another team test.
Behrouz and Maria will link up with Anders "Ankan" Johansson.
The teams were tasked with creating one entertaining gameshow each--
--inspired and sponsored by what they found in their package.
- Who shall we start with? - Charlotta, Mauri and Johan.
A warm welcome to the brand new TV-show, "The Rat Show"!
Welcome to the Mouse Show. I'm Charlotta Rat.
Today, we have three amazing contestants--
Mauri! We've got Johan! And David. Give them a round of applause.
And The Rat Show is sponsored by Mousetrap Incorporated--
--which we love here.
Something we don't love, as you know, are rats!
- Rats! Rats! - Boo!
Hey, let's get going with a quick little quiz show-thing.
- Are rats a type of mouse? Mauri? - No.
That's correct. So you got a rat point, which was really stupid.
That's what you're not supposed to have here.
- Are rats the worst? Johan? - Yeah, they are! The worst!
- That gives you ten rat points. - No!
Then it's time to play a little game we like to call 'The Mousetrap'.
If you whine like a lousy, stinking rat? Well, then you're screwed.
Welcome up, Mauri!
So, your task is to get hit by the mousetrap and make as little noise as possible.
- I don't like this. - No, that's understandable. You were the co-creator, though.
Why'd you scream?!
Go ahead, Johan. Come on up.
Wow! What a man.
Wow! It's time for the Rat King challenge.
Our contestants are tied together with rat tails.
The first person to reach a duck and squeak it wins.
The rest will get an incredible amount of rat points, which, of course, you don't want. Go!
And we have a winner! Wow, Johan! Time to award the prizes.
- Go ahead, Mauri. - 15 seconds left.
You're a lousy rat!
Rat, rat, rat, rat!
That's all from the Rat Show. Thank you for watching.
Hey, uncalled for. How're you doing, Mauri?
Come on, let's get something to eat. It's all over now.
- Ah, that was fun. - What happened?
Whoa.
Oh, so good! Man, that's good.
David, after the time was up you kicked me.
- Someone might've said "kick him". - I don't think so. It was entirely of your own volition.
It was pretty funny after you lost, that you hurled yourself into this mousetrap--
- Voracious appetite. Just laid down to get... - Right, then. Shall we watch the other team?
We certainly shall, Babben. But first, a small break.
Right after that, "The Baba Show" will make television history.
- See you on the other side. - Oh, I'm excited.
Welcome back.
We just saw The Rat Show, courtesy of team Johan, Charlotta and Mauri.
We're in the middle of a team test where the goal is to create a gameshow.
The show is supposed to center around the thing the teams got in their selected package.
It's time for Maria, Behrouz and Ankan's show.
Sponsored by the vegetable medley, baba ghanoush. Roll the tape.
- Baba gadoush...no. - Ghanoush.
- Ghanoush...baba ghanoush! - Welcome to The Baba Show.
A round of applause for tonight's guest. The Rose!
- Hi. Great to be here. - Lovely, lovely. Have a seat.
What're you up to?
Not a lot. Or--yeah, actually, thanks for asking.
- And we cut to commercial. - Baga badoush! Ba, ba!
We'll start with our first challenge. Catch the Baba!
- Catch the Baba! - And cut.
Catch the Babaaa!
And now we cut to that! Alright. You're familiar with the rules?
On my signal, catch the can and kill it.
Baba ganoush!
It's time for Crush the Baba, save the animal.
- Crush the Baba, save the animal! - Cut it there, please.
You know the rules. Up the ladder. Crush the Baba, save the animal.
- Go ahead. - Crush the duck!
-No, no. Save the animal. - Save the animal!
- Ah!
Baba Gadoush!
Good work. The final challenge in this show...commercial!
Baba, Baba, Baba! Baba ganoush!
Right! The final challenge.
The answer to the question is baba ganoush. You may call a secret friend.
- Hello? - Hello!
- Baba ganoush! - Hey, hey.
There's a question here I have to answer.
Question A is: Baba ganoush.
Option B: Also baba ganoush.
They've also added C. That's baba ganoush, too.
Then, last but not least, there's D: Baba ganoush.
- Which of the questions should I go for? - Uh, let me think.
- Baba ganoush! - Hello?
- Thank you so much. - Is this customer service?
Lovely of you to join.
We'll be back again next Tuesday, when we'll play "The Baba Game".
Baba ganoush!
Oh dear lord. So stressful.
Yes, this appears to be a Tuesday show airing at 23:30.
We'll start with a salient question. What on earth did we just watch?
I don't know. I'm pretty pleased. I don't know what the point of it was.
But this whole, using the greenscreen--it gave you this tremendous gameshow-feeling
With the green in the hostess. That was nice.
Difficult to use when you're also wearing a green feather boa.
One of the game shows was slightly more cohesive, and maintained some form of structure.
The other was more of a fever dream after a terrible chicken vindaloo--
--on the streets of New Delhi, but in a good way.
And that's why the three points go to The Baba Show!
- Yeah! God, that's so fun. - And what are we competing for tonight?
Well, there were three packages the teams could select--
--to be assigned a theme and sponsor, but only two of the packages were revealed.
Tonight's victor wil receive the third package! Wow!
Which means the clock's ticked onward to the middle of the show.
Which is the point where we let go of every notion of quality journalism--
--and simply endure this interview, led by David Sundin.
Wow! Thank you, thank you, Babben. Always appreciate this little space.
Very popular part of the show.
Something I live for, Babben, that's conversation. Good conversation...
Where you exchange... Alright, moving on.
It's time, once again, to direct the blowtorch at-- Johan Petersson.
Oh, no.
Johan, welcome. What's up with you?
- I'm fine, thanks. - I'll check 'fine'.
This is more uncomfortable than every test.
- You're a man's man, Johan. - Last I checked, yeah.
- One of those--rrgh. Here comes the man's man. - Yeah. But other options are totally fine.
That's right. You've got a strong interest in engines.
- Vroom-vroom, things like that. - I'm not opposed to engines.
How very interesting that you're into all this stuff, with engines and speed.
Because it's time to play Formula Egg!
Yes, it's time to play Formula Egg.
Johan, you've received a letter. Can you read it out loud?
"Write a compliment for Babben on an egg."
"Drive it to her desk using your cars."
"The person whose egg is first received and read by Babben wins."
"If the egg breaks, you must start over."
- "Your time starts on David's cue." - Wow!
Are you ready? Your time starts...
Now. When I blew the whistle. They're off. They're writing.
Mauri takes the lead already, putting him at an advantage.
Of course, by the fact that no one else is going to crash into him.
Oh, the tricky bump. There's a guardrail there that might help.
Oh! Behrouz is close to the edge. Mauri's approaching my desk.
- Oh, I'd put the whistle-- - Hey, David!
Mauri's up! Who will nab second place?
- It's Johan. Johan's in second! - "Sweet!"
- Who's up third? - "The Best Babben."
You already made it up there?!
- Not sure what it says. - "Apple of my eye."
Apple of my eye! Well, thank you. In Persian.
Charlotta's coming.
She handles the tricky curve and advances towards my desk.
I dropped the egg, David!
Hey, can I get a new egg, David? Don't be so fascinated by Charlotta.
- Shove her down. - No! Oh my god!
- You've got a shot, Maria. Go! - You can do this!
She can't get up!
- She's accelerating now! Heave-ho--yes! - Yes! No!
"You're lovely." Thank you very much. And that's how we play Formula Egg!
Ah, that was exciting. Formula Egg's fun.
Let's take a look at the scores.
One for Maria, two for Charlotta, three for Behrouz, four for Johan...
- ...and five points for Mauri. - Yes, indeed!
Ah, this was fun. Got any more tests on you?
Even if we've just played with eggs, we're actually about to play with...more eggs.
Behrouz Badreh!
- Behrouz Badreh! - Hello.
Behrouz...Behrouz Badreh!
Lovely seeing you again.
...same to you, Maria. Lovely seeing you.
"Place weights on eggs."
"Most weight on eggs in ten minutes wins."
"10 kg will be subtracted for every broken egg."
- "Your time starts now." - "Your time starts now."
That's right. Maria Lundqvist and the others are going to start breaking eggs.
10 kg is kind of a lot. You can win by not putting anything on them.
But like, ten...
- At least you won't go in the negatives. - Impossible.
- But some weight would've been fun. - I'm gonna go get something flat.
Yes, the goal was to place weights on eggs.
Business as usual. But for every broken egg, we'll subtract ten kilos.
The person with most weight on their eggs after ten minutes wins.
Yes indeed, and which heavyweight egg-placers shall we start with?
None other than the manly Mauri.
- Manly Mauri. - Is that me?
- Something like that, right? - That's right.
And then you just have to... you can fill it with whatever you like.
- That's right. That's 10 kilos, there. - No, no, no, no, no...
- So now, you have to pass 10 kilos anyway. - This is considered broken? There.
- I'm sorry, David. - Eight minutes to go.
- No...it was just a whim. - Yeah, may have been.
I've got some kilos to regain, now.
- There. The weight's distributed across all of them. - That's smart, I think.
- So you just have to add... - I'll add about 10 kilos.
To be certain that you'll reach...
- I've got to feel it out a bit, too. - Exactly.
I think that when they break, they'll all break.
So you're supposed to stop right before.
I'll settle for that.
- It's better. - Well, it's--five minutes left.
- But I can't add any more. - Well, what do you personally think?
Well, I think they've smashed legions of eggs.
- This is full of air. - Yeah, yeah, but what are they doing?
I think this is a winner. This isn't a one-pointer.
You're going to have to sit in the studio, watching yourself say that.
- We'll probably watch you first. - Are they going to laugh at me in the studio?
- This might be the best attainable option. - I think it may be.
This is your last chance to get more weight/points.
Two, one, zero.
This is a winner.
- Not last place. I don't think so. - Oh, my god.
I can see what you mean about your self-esteem.
Is your goal now 'not getting last place'?
Yeah, I think it is. Ugh, what a set-up.
In that case, I'm incredibly curious to see how the others did.
- What was Mauri's final weight? - Mauri placed 12.8 kg.
Since two eggs gave their lives, with a 10 kg penalty each--
--he'll end up at -7.2 kg.
Alright. But someone must've had a positive score, right?
Unfortunately, I can't reveal that.
But all will be revealed after the break. See you on the other side.
Cock-a-doodle-doo, and welcome back. We're going to see which of our contestants...
- ...can place the most weight on eggs. - And you have to be careful.
We'll subtract a whole 10 kg from the total weight for each broken egg.
- Which eggsperts are we watching now? - Johan, Maria and Behrouz.
- And I can use anything? - Yes.
- Can I package them? - They can be packaged.
- Most weight...? - I've got it.
- And we're off. - Hey!
- So we've got eggs, clothes, and books. - Yeah.
Whoa.
- So what you do is that you...? - Place them at a bit of a distance.
I'll start building like this. Spreading the weight around.
Is the weight now...on egg, or is it on bowl?
- On egg. - On egg?
Oh, oh! That...
- It's totally quiet. - So you mean it's not right?
One could claim that this is weight... on top of an egg.
Babben's the one who'll ultimately determine if this is weight on egg, or weight on bowl.
If the egg touches the glass...
- Are you saying that'd make it more okay? - ...It would be, right?
Good-looking, too.
Now...now, it's... now it's weight on egg.
- This is getting a bit exciting. - Tempting fate a bit, here.
Could this be the straw of hay that buckles the camel's back?
There's no such thing.
I shouldn't grab this too, but I will anyway.
- No. - No. Not that?
- I just can't get too greedy, now. - It's "Birds of the North 1, 2, 3"...
And also "Birds of the North 4".
Ah, we'll put the bowl on. After that, I'm happy.
- Dammit. - No! No!
- David, why'd you give me the bowl?! - I haven't added anything.
I blame you for this failure.
Are you ready, David?
And I'm done.
This bowl became the straw of hay that buckled the camel's back.
You can't just go adding everything.
- Don't give me the bowl, then! - It might've just been one egg.
And we'll top it off with an owl.
- Not for the weight, more for... - Presentation.
Three, two, one, zero.
Zero. So now, this is the weight that...
- Do you want to? - You can look. I'm leaving.
Was it David's fault, Johan?
He's like a feeder here. "Have another cookie."
- No. I told you, no. - He's wicked to the bone.
Maria, you made a sort of egg-bed, and after that it developed into...?
A nest for the eggs, topped off with the most wonderful thing I know.
Yes...flattery works on David, but not on me, actually.
Behrouz, was this weight on egg or weight on bowl?
First, there was a bit of a grey zone when the egg was roaming freely.
That was definitely an F.
Alright, sure, but the second? That was--flush to the glass.
- Flush to the glass? Alright. - Yeah.
- How much weight did they have on the eggs? - Did he pass?!
Are you kidding?!
That's what we're about to run through, if you could exhibit a bit of self-control.
- Yeah, I'm sorry. I get so upset. - How much could the eggs handle?
Johan reached 25 kgs, but suffered hubris with the bowl.
He broke one egg, ending up with 15 kilos.
- You should've stopped, Johan. - Move on.
- Silly. Stupid, even. - Move on, now.
Maria preserved every egg, reaching 26.9 kilos.
- Yeah! Not bad. - And then, there's Behrouz.
Everything was in contact on top. Pure cleverness.
- Meaning he placed 54.2 kilos on the eggs. - No.
And his egg which broke, broke before the test began.
- Just Charlotta to go, then. - Very true, and well observed.
She has to beat Behrouz's weight of 54.2 kilos to nab the five-pointer.
We'll take a look at that.
That's right. On eggs.
- What could that be? - A carton of eggs.
If you've got two of these, and you get one at a time.
Think we can carry this together?
- Alright. Time to be careful, right? - Really careful.
Nice and easy at the same time.
- There. What do you think that weighs? - 30, 40, 50 kilos.
- I think you can stand on that without it breaking. - No, you're kidding.
Place your weight on me, first and foremost.
- No! - Wow!
And just stand completely still. How much do you weigh, roughly?
...No, god dammit--
Down, down, down. I don't think the egg broke.
- Look. - What?!
The egg stayed in one piece. I'm satisfied. I got David and a marble slab onto it.
I'm pleased as hell with you, your weight, and myself.
Thank you.
That was really smart, Charlotta. An impressive feat.
- Which is what makes it all so tragic. - What?
Well, I don't want to influence you too much, Babben...
Let me just read an excerpt from the letter again.
"Place weights on eggs." We've arrived at that conclusion.
"Most weight on eggs in 10 minutes wins."
- What do you mean, in 10 minutes? - We're going to watch a brief little film.
- Three, two, one, zero. - What?!
- No! - No!
- It's that whole 'reading-the-letter' thing. - Yeah, it is.
Everyone else waited to the end of the timer to receive their score.
So what was Charlotta's weight after 10 minutes?
After 10 minutes, I estimate it to be...zero.
What're the scores, then?
- One point for Mauri. - Oh, that's unexpected.
He ended up in the negatives.
In which case, I'd like to point out that Mauri was super cocky in the beginning, there.
He had this victory down as a sure thing.
And he was even more confident that he wouldn't end up in last place. But last place is where he ended up.
Two points for Charlotta, who scored 0 kilos.
Three for Johan, four for Maria and the five-pointer for Behrouz.
Important! Important.
But let's put this behind us and move on to another test.
I think we shall. It's time for a unified unathlon.
- Good day. - Good day.
'1' minus 'athlon', right? Is it a rebus or is it a unathlon?
- 'The unathlon'? - Unathlon.
"Create a challenge for David, and place a prize on the prize-shelf."
That says 'Grand prize'. "David has three tries to beat your challenge."
"If he fails, you get three points."
"If David beats the challenge, you get zero points."
"You must beat your challenge first."
- "You have 30 minutes." - "Your time starts now."
Right. Here, the goal was to create a challenge that I was going to fail at.
The only snag was that they had to beat their own challenge first.
After that, I had three tries.
Yes indeed! Which lone wolf warriors are we watching now?
It's time for Behrouz to flex his pitching arm.
- Is there anything you feel you're not too good at? - Dunking. I don't think...
I think we've got the same problem with that, you and I.
Ah! There, there, there. Yes!
If I get two in a row now, you've also gotta get two.
- No! - One seems hard enough.
- No, it seems bordering on impossible. - Let's see how you do.
Is it a matter of talent?
Not too windy, either. It's practically windless.
- There, there, there. One! - Alright, I'll get ready.
You sit here. My turn, then.
- I've got another try, too. - Is it out of three, or...?
- Why am I throwing like that? No! - So you've got three touching the barrel.
We'll go for that, then.
- Hullo! - Hi.
- I'm interested in the unathlon. - Then you're in the right place.
- ...You seem out of breath. - What? No. No, definitely not.
You get three balls times three attempts. Stand behind that chain over there.
All the balls need to hit the barrel, or you fail.
- You get another two attempts... - I hear you.
- The prize you can win today is this. - Oh!
- Alright, three balls. - Yeah.
Hit after hit. Here they come.
- Ah, that's a shame. - Here comes the next one.
- How do you feel now, down to your last try? - That's the one that counts.
It's probably the wind.
Three points for me, then?
That's right, Behrouz. You nabbed three points there.
- Why didn't you move up a bit? - Well, the thing was, I already decided...
I was swinging for my life. Like, I was totally dead. But I thought "he'll never"--
Like, if it's too close, it might be too easy.
- I'd like to see more unathletes. - Me too--
--but first, a small but soothing break. See you on the other side.
We're back, and when we last parted ways--
--Behrouz had challenged David to throw balls into a barrel.
In this test, the participants challenge me to something.
It's like a "Bäst i Test" in reverse. I'm the contestants, and they're me.
- Who will be challenging you next? - Mauri and Maria.
I'll go into the shed.
This is a game. I'll say "Find the ace of clubs".
- I've got three tries? - Yeah.
- ...Is it fun, though? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- What can you do with a keyboard? - Tons.
Are you really supposed to stand here while I try out my challenge?
- I can be, right? - No. Stand with your back turned.
Come play. You've got three tries.
- Doing alright? - Yeah.
- We'll go for the cards. - What's the prize?
The prize is a rubber duck. I've got to do this first, now.
Yeah, you show me.
Your challenge consists of the following:
Little balloons. One in one nostril, one in the other nostril.
My goal now is to get the ace of clubs.
- By just...? - Drawing randomly. One out of 52.
I'll just draw, then.
What?! No! That wasn't even planned!
The goal is just to ingest--pull these in, and get them out through your mouth.
This isn't too difficult.
- I got it on the first try! - One chance out of 52.
- What're the odds?! Well, one out of 52-- - One out of 52. We just said.
- Should I show you? - Please do.
You just put them in...
- That's not the hard part. - No, you can do that easily.
- There's one, David. - Ugh, god!
- They don't have this at Gröna Lund. - There it is.
- Should we pull ourselves together a bit? - Yeah, yeah. Now it's my turn to...
And you just did that... No, it's gonna get stuck here.
- No. - I'll have to hit up the sickbay.
- I'll just take one. - Mhm.
- Ace of hearts. - That's close, too.
You've got one try out of... oh! See? Where is it? Did you swallow it?
- It's neither in my nose, or in my mouth. - See, that's great! You're halfway. Now you just have to pull it down.
It's nowhere now. What should I tell the folks at the ER?
- Thinking isn't going to matter at all. - No, no.
Four of spades.
Alright, I'll just take it.
Here it comes. Third and last attempt.
- Yes! Important! - But David...
You know, every amusement park has consolation prizes. Would you...like a little 'Gender Surprise'?
No.
- David, David... - Good work.
- You're a man! David, you're a man! - I had my suspicions all along.
Maria, that's certainly not your first time putting things up your nose.
Whence this proclivity for nasal incision?
It's fun to pull stuff through your nose. You should try it.
Some other time. But we've got two unathletes to go, right?
Here they come, tall and handsome -- Johan and Charlotta.
Do you have hand-eye coordination? Honestly.
Shh! I've got enough. Always wanted to do that.
We need to have a prize.
Here's a trophy.
- Roll up, roll up. - Is this the unathlon?
It is. So, I've crafted a challenge for you, David.
- The unathlon consists of...are you with me? - Yes, I'm with you.
- You're going to--push the pin over. - Push the pin over?
I've hidden a little something in here.
Meaning your challenge is to get ahold of it.
You have three attempts. You may not use tools.
It has to be your body.
You can't stand on your toes. You can't jump.
You can't throw anything.
- You can show, can't you? - Yeah, here's how it works. I won.
- You're supposed to reach this tiny plastic monkey. - A monkey.
- Did you touch this at all? - Yeah, my feet connected. Touching that's allowed.
- I'll place it back here, now. - That's right. You can still reach it.
- My three attempts start now? - You've got three attempts. Good luck.
Heel down!
- That's right. That's attempt one. - I thought I could do it.
- No shoving-- - No touching, no touching.
Oh, it's so close!
- Alright, alright, alright. - One try, David.
- Don't push, now. It's tantalizingly close. - Oh, that's where it was last time.
No, it wasn't!
Alright...here it comes.
No, that's the one that...
- I don't think...I didn't reach. - Be proud of yourself.
Fun to see.
- Last attempt. - I've got my feet down.
- Yes, it's tantalizingly close. - No!
- Can I have...? - Congratulations.
Yes, a smart way to use your obvious advantage over David.
Being taller, quite simply. Time to score this, then.
Almost everyone created a task David couldn't do.
Everyone except Johan gets three points each.
- Yeah. - Good!
In that case, we have a fairly cool and precarious total score.
We find Charlotta with 10 points. Johan with 14 points.
Maria and Mauri in shared second place. 17 points.
And Behrouz with 21 points. It's exciting.
And remember, people, that winning tonight doesn't just get you glory--
--it also gets you the third package, its contents still unknown.
- Wow! - Exciting!
Yes, anything can happen and everything can change, because it's time for the finale.
Yes, the time has come for the finale. Maria Lundqvist?
Kindly read the test for your co-contestants.
Getting to read is a victory in itself.
"Throw your egg and your spoon the same distance."
"Both the egg and the spoon must pass the qualifying line."
"If your egg or your spoon doesn't pass the qualifying line..."
"...or falls off the playing field..."
- "...you're out of the contest!" - Yeah, I get it.
"The person with longest distance between egg and spoon every round is eliminated."
"Last person remaining wins."
They're dyed, so it's from the epicenter of the egg--
--to the closest point on the spoon.
- Everyone got it? - Yeah!
We'll start with the person currently in the lead. Behrouz Badreh.
- It's across. - Oh, my god! Oh!
Next up...Mauri Hermundsson.
Whoa.
Lovely, Mauri. Round of applause. Maria Lundqvist, go ahead.
Come on, Maria.
Wonderful.
Johan.
- Can I throw the egg first? - Any way you like it.
That's smart, Johan.
- Hard to tell. - Charlotta steps up.
Whoa.
We're dealing with essentially direct contact.
- Right, Maria. It seems like you... - Yeah, yeah! You don't have to tell me.
Behrouz moves in for round two.
- Oh! Yes! The epicenter. - Oh, come on...
- Here comes Mauri. - Try to have fun, now.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. - Interesting.
No!
Mauri wound up outside the track. Take a seat on the couch.
Round three. We removed the spoons. Behrouz, go ahead and throw.
- Now what do I do? - He started with spoon this time.
- Yes! - Charlotta's turn.
Charlotta, Charlotta, Charlotta!
- This stuff makes me so nervous. - Here comes the spoon.
- No! - The spoon left the platform...
- Charlotta, take your seat. - Oh!
Which leaves us in the finale of the finale. Behrouz starts.
Come on, now...
Didn't think we'd be standing here on a Friday night, throwing eggs and getting excited.
Come on, now. Another good epicenter.
- Yes! - That's very beatable.
- It's very beatable. - Come on, Johan.
Oh my god.
The winner is Johan Petersson!
- Yeah! - Good game.
Come on and sit down. It's time to sum up the evening.
You look a bit expectant as we head into the scores.
David, let's get it done straight away.
One point for Maria, two for Mauri, three for Charlotta--
--four for Behrouz and five for Johan Petersson.
And now, as we assemble the points, things get a bit exciting.
Charlotta ends up with 13 points. That's not a lot.
Then we've got Maria with 18 points.
We've got Johan and Mauri in a shared second place. 19 points.
But Behrouz obtained a whopping 25 points!
He wins tonight's show! Come on up! Come on up! The third box, take it!
- What is it, then? - Look at it, shake it.
- Oh my god. - What have we learned, then?
Well, that rat points are bad points. To read your letters properly.
And that megabilliards is here to stay.
See you again next week, 20:00 on TV4.
Or whenever you like on TV4 Play.
Thank you for watching. Come on, let's congratulate Behrouz.
I've always wanted one of those.
