Yes, we're back already with a new episode, filled to the brim with tests.
Our end goal is to find out who's the best of the testers--
--and celebrate that person with incense, myrrh, and gold in the form of my bust.
And we'll have nonstop fun on the way there.
Let me present this year's adorable panel:
Boss of the bosses, Charlotta Björck!
King of the kings, Mauri Hermundsson!
Flashiest of the flashy, Behrouz Badreh!
Queen of the queens, Maria Lundqvist!
And player of the players, Johan Petersson!
And in tonight's show you will, among other things, get to see this:
I told you so!
You're touching the cow now!
Wanna see? Come on.
- Here's the staircase! - That must've looked stupid.
Yes indeed, another week, but the same good old panel.
Behrouz, we're halfway through. How are you doing in the standings?
No idea, but I've gotten disqualified a few times.
- I hope I was good enough. - There's a general sense that you probably aren't.
Yeah, I was just about to ask. What's your impression of my results?
- We know the standings are very even. - Good enough for me.
No man is an island. Not even me, who originated on an island.
And what you see on the tube every week wouldn't be half as good, half as fun--
--or maybe even entertaining at all--
--if it wasn't for my fantastic assistant and sidekick, David Sundin.
Babben...genuinely, what--what lovely words.
Wow! Thank you, thank you, I suppose. I'm not sure what to say.
You don't need to say a thing. Just pull yourself together and get our first test going.
Yeah. Yeah, of course. But first, I've got a little question for you: Are you superstitious?
- A little bit, actually! - Oh, then hold on to your hat!
Because that's actually what our first test is about: Superstitions and folklore. Knock on wood.
Whoa! Whoa.
A letter on each table...
"Walk the entire lucky tour..."
"And then flip five 'tails' in a row."
"Fastest to flip five tails in a row wins."
"Your time starts on David's cue."
Whenever you're ready, simple as that.
Ah, so I'm going through cats and ladders... I'm going to get a ton of bad mojo, here.
Got any mirrors? Yeah, there's a mirror, too.
Yes, in our first test of the evening, the goal was to get through a series of checkpoints--
--which could cause bad luck.
Black cats, broken mirrors, and keys on tables.
After that, you need to have luck on your side and flip tails five times in a row.
Whoever does this fastest wins.
Fun! Which possibly-superstitious players are we starting with?
We're going to watch everyone except Charlotta Björck.
- What could that mean, eh? - What's wrong with me?
- Your time starts now. - Good!
Alright. "Walk under the ladder, or place it in the gazebo."
So, it's bad luck if you walk...
- No, what the hell. - Since you want as much luck as possible...
...until you flip the--flip the coin for tails.
- Wait, hang on a moment... - What am I doing?!
- What're you doing?
Let's go for the next one, then.
"Let the black cat pass you, or carry the cat through the test."
Right. Let's see, then.
"Put keys on the table, or collect exactly 13 krona."
- There's no krona, though. - Keys on the table...
- Huh? These aren't krona. - Barely know what they look like these days.
Oh, this one's tough.
"Break the mirror, or admire your appearance for 60 seconds.
Ah, nice!
"Open the umbrella in the lab, or shut the 13 umbrellas in the office."
You're not supposed to open an umbrella indoors, they say. Mauri! You're going to get hounded by bad luck!
- You don't have a lot of luck left, now. - No, I know. "Flip five tails in a row."
- What's tails? - The one that isn't heads.
- Let's see, then. - One.
- One tails. - One tails.
Zero tails.
- One. - One tails.
Zero tails. Zero tails. Zero tails.
Like, statistically speaking, this is gonna take a while.
- Does that have anything to do with all the bad luck? - No, no.
- Three tails. - I'm close, now! I'm close!
Four tails. This is it.
Zero tails.
Three tails.
Four! 50/50.
No!
- Three. - Three tails. And...?
Four tails! This is it!
No! Ah!
Zero tails. Zero tails. One tails.
- You're carrying a lot of bad luck with you. - What is that?
- Zero tails. - I don't know. I'm not feeling it anymore.
Four tails. This is it! Moment of truth...
For five tails. Maria Lundqvist!
- Zero tails. - I think I'm dying!
It's getting worse and worse.
Zero, zero, zero. One tails. Zero tails.
Zero tails. Three heads in a row. That's kind of cool.
- Three tails. - Come on, now!
- Four tails? - Four tails.
- Yes! - Five tails. Good work.
Four tails. You need this one.
- Five tails! - Five tails.
- Three! - Three tails.
- Four! - Four tails.
No!
You've hit four two times.
Four tails. This is it.
Carrying seven years of bad luck. Here she comes for the gold.
- Five tails. - Yes!
- Four tails and...? Five tails. - Good!
We're not doing this again.
Yes, Maria. Running the unlucky tour, what was the worst thing you did? The mirror?
The mirror gave me the most bad luck, but it was also the most fun.
- How often do you get the chance to do that? - Just went 'smack'. Wonderful.
Behrouz, you ran to the gazebo.
Like, I covered all angles. I went under the ladder, and also brought it.
- Why'd I do that? - We don't know, either.
We can find out how long the coin-flipping took.
The track went by fairly quick, after all.
Mauri flipped his way to five tails in 9 minutes and 37 seconds.
- Pretty quick. - Not that quick.
Maria was somewhat faster. Nine minutes and 16 seconds.
After that we have Johan. 8 minutes and 24 seconds.
But fastest so far was Berra, with 5 minutes and 48 seconds.
Still, we've got Charlotta left. Was there a loophole in the test?
Well, the best case would've been to have a double-sided coin.
In that case, you'd just need to flip five times.
I don't know if you noticed, but when Berra ran to the gazebo, didn't he miss something?
I was too stressed to check.
He throws the ladder and turns around, quick as a flash.
That's how it goes. Now, let's take a look at Charlotta Björck.
Your time starts now.
Alright. There.
Why am I doing this?
How is this bad luck, right?
There's some arrow here.
- No! - "Flip five tails in a row."
One tails, two tails, three tails.
Four tails.
- Five tails. - Ah! Nice.
That's how it goes.
What a lucky coin.
Yes, Charlotta. Despite gathering up all that bad luck...
Plus you were heading to the gazebo, where there was a lucky coin, but you found another.
And how does Charlotta's time hold up to the rest of them?
So, the time to beat is Behrouz's 5 minutes and 48 seconds.
But Charlotta found the lucky coin. 4 minutes and 52 seconds!
- Alright. - Talk about lucky.
Let's move on, then. What are we serving up next?
A test, actually. A melon-related one.
Hello!
- Doing good? - Yeah, doing fine. You?
- Exciting. You think so? Or are you used to it? - I'm starting to get used to it.
"Destroy the watermelon."
"It can't seem like it's your fault that the melon gets destroyed."
"Afterwards, you have to say: That wasn't my fault."
"Most spectacular melon-destruction wins."
"You have 30 minutes." Wait, can I read it again before I say my time starts...?
- No. - No? Okay.
Spectacular...? How are you supposed to do that?
...maybe.
Yes! The goal was to destroy the melon in as spectacular a way as possible.
But it couldn't look like you did it on purpose.
And what the contestants were working with was one of these melons.
Good thing you brought one of those. There may be viewers who've never seen a melon before.
Lovely, David. Who or whom are we watching first?
That would be the melon marauders, Behrouz and Charlotta.
Most spectacular melon-destroyer?
Could hit it with a car. That'd be spectacular.
It's...not exactly rush hour.
No. This place is dead. Here.
But I'm just thinking--it can't seem like my fault. If you understand that it's my fault...
- Is an accident my fault? - No.
What if I drop it from up there, and you're holding a net.
Like this net. It's super geeky. And I'm supposed to hit it...
And not your head. If you're extending it pretty far out. Ah!
Yes, it's time for the annual lighting of the rings.
We do this every year. No one remembers why.
But first you light the ducks, and then you light the ring.
Yes, the rings are lit.
The ring's lit!
Burning ring of fire!
Wait, whoa. What happened? That wasn't my fault.
- What're you doing? - I just lit the rings.
- Yeah. You'll have to pick that up. - Yes, I certainly will.
It wasn't me, at least. I think it came from over here.
- Alright? - Hey.
- Do I catch it then, or what? - Whoa--you're running with confetti, too.
Wait, wait. No! There!
What happened? Why didn't you catch it, David?
- Right, right. I know it was you, then. - Good work.
- Thanks.
That was kind of fun. You used exactly the same props.
Congratulations, Behrouz. It's a girl. The rest wasn't much to cheer about.
I'd like to call it shoddy.
How do you mean? It was impactful. There were rings on fire and everything.
Charlotta, you switched strategy from going down...
Yeah, at first I was thinking it'd get hit by a car.
I changed tactics, and did something much more spectacular.
I think so. How'd the rest of the gang do?
We're about to find out, right after the break. Meanwhile, a little test for those of you at home:
Everyone in the household, fetch a blue garment.
You may not use anything you're wearing.
Fastest back to the television wearing the garment wins.
Welcome back to "Bäst i test".
The show that's stuffed to the brim with intricate and occasionally insane tests.
We're currently in the middle of an incredibly exciting event--
--with the end goal of destroying a melon in a spectacular way.
But it mustn't seem like you've done it on purpose.
And afterwards, you have to say: "That wasn't my fault."
Let's take a look at the rest of the gang. That is, Johan, Maria, and Mauri.
God, I relate to this so much. I have a habit of breaking things.
'Cause I'm big. I knock things over.
Let's head down and take a look.
- We've got a melon. - God, it's so lovely, too.
A shame to have to destroy it.
I'm going to assemble a construct, sticking out here...
Then I'm going to stumble, probably while doing some activity.
- And it'll fall over. You with me? - Yeah, you just happen to walk by.
- Be back soon. - Yeah...
I don't exactly know what I want.
And the idea is that the melon's just going to lie there in peace and quiet?
- ...It's just lying? - It's just going to lie there.
Yeah, exactly! I'm storing it there. Slow on the uptake. Be back soon.
- You've got such cuddly ears, David. - What's going on here?!
Thank you, of course.
Whoa. Hi! Could I borrow you for a tiny bit?
That looks like someone who could destroy a melon.
- A melon? - Yeah.
Oh, you've got such lovely buttons. Such wonderful buttons.
I've got a set of braces inside my teeth which you might want to see.
- Come a bit closer. Come on, come on. - That's right. There they are.
Let's not forget...the melon in all of this.
- Do you like bowling? - I sometimes find it pretty nice, yeah.
Pull out all the stops and hit the pin.
What the hell are you doing?!
That's the melon I was gonna use. We were going to have a garden party here.
No, come on. Oh! Whoa, David!
Whoa, whoa. What happened?
No, god. No, oh...David!
Abbe? Abbe? Go on!
Oh. No, not football, Abbe. Not football.
You're supposed to eat it, Abbe.
- It is pretty big. - Abbe...?
Just poke a tiny hole, Abbe, and you'll-- there! And go on!
Abbe...this isn't going too well. Abbe, would you maybe like to...? Whoa!
- It was... - It was mainly you doing the destruction.
- He's eating the melon that I destroyed. - That's right, you served it up a bit.
Do I say that it wasn't my fault?
- If it sincerely wasn't. - No, it was...like, it--that wasn't my fault.
Good work.
Mauri, was it you or Abbe-Labby who destroyed this melon?
- You've got a nickname for him? - Yeah. It was a labrador, so Abbe-Labby.
- Who destroyed it? - Abbe did. You were there, David.
- He bit it a lot, so it was... - But we can see there. There.
- Are you trying to get me to help you, Mauri? - It broke there.
No melon would break from that little tap. At that point, it's already broken. We know that.
- No, no... - But it wasn't my fault.
That's what you claim. Maria, you're a wonderful actress.
We all thought you were going to seduce David.
And after one fell splash, the melon was broken. Nice work!
- What's going on here? - David's both comfortable and uncomfortable.
Just as it happened, I thought: "Was that even the point?"
I love you. That was lovely. Thank you.
Johan, a bowling solution. It was obviously not your fault--it was David's. I saw that it was.
- But I forgot to say it! - Not just you, if I may...
Maria, Johan and Charlotta all forgot to say the magic words:
"That wasn't my fault."
Despite fantastic premises, you stumbled on the finish line.
I can't give you more than one point. Right? Is that correct?
- That's correct. - Mauri, it wasn't too spectacular.
The fact that you broke it was a bit obvious.
But--and this is completely insane, that thanks to these buffoons not saying the words--
--you get four points!
- Behrouz, you get five points. - Yeah! Crucial!
After these two first tests, we have an excellent total standing.
Maria has three points.
Johan's got four points. Mauri's got five points.
Charlotta in second place, six points. And Behrouz in the lead--nine points!
- Good! Wow. - Congratulations, Behrouz.
We head on to the next test, where the goal is to bring a cow to water.
- Ankan. - Bam!
- Hello.
- Should we read the letter, or...? - Yeah, do that.
- Everyone gets on the carpet. - Everyone on the carpet.
Alright. Are you ready? "Bring the cow to the swimming pool."
- "As fast as possible." - The pool's over there, yeah.
"If any of you, or the cow, touches the ground, you have to start over."
- "You may not touch the cow." - We can't touch the cow?
"Fastest team to bring the cow to the pool wins."
"Your time starts...now."
Yes indeed, the goal was to bring this large and fairly heavy cow to the swimming pool--
--in the form of two inflatable pools.
If you touched the cow, or if the cow touched the ground, the only thing to do was start over from the beginning.
And this is a team test, so Maria and Behrouz will be getting help from Ankan.
- May be getting harm, too. - Certainly possible.
I think we should take a look at how things went for team 'Bam'.
Behrouz, Ankan, Maria.
Wait, check this out. We've got these that we can use to grab the cow. We can carry the cow with these towels.
- But we can't walk on the ground. - No, but we probably have to bring the carpet somehow.
- Is it heavy? - Should we start by laying the cow down on the ground?
- Wait, it can't touch the ground-- - No, on the carpet.
- Touching the ground. - Who's touching the ground?
- The cow. - Okay.
- Should we think a bit, now? - Place them like this.
- Then pull the carpet. - Careful, careful. There.
- A question. I've got an idea. - Wait, we can walk like this...
- Look! Let's make foot wrappings! - Yeah, that was exactly what I was going to say.
We'll have to make sure they don't slip off.
- Ready, set... - Careful, careful.
No!
What'd I tell you?! You were supposed to put them on properly! You put them on sloppily, just look at me!
Back with the cow. We'll start over.
Restrt from starting position. It's over there.
Alright, ready, set...go.
- Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. - Just walk.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
- Does it need to go in the water? - Alright. It's vital now to not touch the cow.
Wait, let's take off our towels, stand on the carpet, and toss the cow in. We can grab the cow with the towels.
- No, no, no... - Wait. Here.
- Just carry it like this. - No, no, no...
- I can put it in like this. - You can?
- Exactly. Like this. - No, no, no!
No, no, no, no, no...
- The cow shoved me onto the ground. - Alright.
There!
- Check the shoes. - Yeah, we've got them.
- What? - My shoe went through.
- No! You're kidding. - Back with the cow.
It's fine. Let's keep our morale up.
Think about...can we twist it? We'll do this. Just have to walk.
Check your shoes now! It's close.
Come on. And just twist it.
Wait! Hold onto it, hold onto it! Come on, come on...
Front feet in the little one. Yeah! Yeah!
- I'd say the cow is bathing. - Record time!
- If they can beat that, they're geniuses. - Yeah. Great.
Hated chemistry at school. Ugh!
Not entirely certain what Ankan meant by 'chemistry at school'.
Did you think things went well, too?
Being with Anders is so fun. He's totally insane.
- And optimistic to the bone. We're entirely pleased. - I agree.
We did it correctly. It was fun, too.
The question is, how fast did they bring the cow to water?
Team Bam's cow was bathing happily after 16 minutes and 8 seconds.
Which means it's time for the other team to beat 16 minutes and 8 seconds.
- We're missing something, here. - We can move the pools here.
- Should I keep standing here, or what? - Feel free to keep standing there.
- I'll start to move the cow, then. - Snout in the ground.
- Everyone, get back here. - What?
- You had one job! - I was just going to pull the cow to you.
You're so smart, Johan. Mauri, look at Johan!
Yeah, that's right.
- Remember yelling at Johan for the snout thing? - No.
- You were unnecessarily harsh. - That was bad.
Go, Mauri! Go, Mauri! You're almost here, now.
- There! - Let's lift a bit, now.
And we'll pull the cow. No, you're touching the cow now!
- He patted the cow. - There's something slightly kind, as well as stupid, to that.
- Where are you going with that? - Ah, we'll do it over again.
Should I take the responsibility of fetching that now, or what?
Johan, be careful.
- Very good, Johan. Are you on the carpet? - Yeah. And brace, without touching...
- Nice. - One leg over.
I'm going to push it in your direction now, Mauri, so you'll need to brace yourself.
A bit more. A bit more. A bit more.
- Be careful not to touch the cow. - A bit more...a bit more--now! Let go.
- Bam! - Stop the timer!
- The cow's in the pool. - Yeah!
Charlotta, slightly unsure of your role in the team? You cheered on and complained.
Someone needs to shoulder that role.
But the question on everyone's lips: Were they faster than team Bam!
Behrouz, Ankan and Maria solved it in 16 minutes and 8 seconds.
This team finished after...
- ...18 minutes and... - No! Really!?
Congratulations! Three points each for team Berra and Maria.
- And zero for the rest of you. - God, that's good!
To be continued, after a short, short break. See you on the other side.
We're back, and I think a lot of people currently have lofty expectations.
And they have every right to. We're in the middle of the show...
My splendid sidekick will, in his ingenious way--
--guide you to the next test. A round of applause for David Sundin!
Yes...this steady stream of lovely words, Babben.
- Do you have a fever or something? - No, I'm just peachy. Why?
It's--you're not quite yourself. It feels like...
Alright, here's the low-down. Kindness Week is ongoing.
Just enjoy it while it lasts. We'll be back to normal next week.
Alright, that explains it. I'll absorb it. I'll seize the day and just--
Alright, let's see, then.
The idea here is to get to know one of our contestants slightly better.
Maybe more and better than ever, due to my methods.
One method is, for example, just being quiet.
Which means the guest will automatically say things. Mauri?
Yeah...
Yeah, eventually you start saying things. Exactly.
Yeah...I had testicle surgery when I was seven.
- See. See, it works. - They didn't drop. Wow, did I say that?
That was more than I...but as mentioned, my methods are what makes this segment so cool.
- It's true. - Yeah! It worked.
Mauri, we've already learned that... you had testicle surgery when you were seven.
- Yes! Twice. - Twice?!
- Was that once for each? - No, it didn't work the first time. It's true.
I don't know why I said this! It's a thing.
- Alright. Mauri, who are your role models? - Oh, tons of people.
I think you two are great. I've got a couple.
We two as role models?
In specific, if you had to single anyone out...?
It'd probably be Babben, then.
- Maybe. - And that's your role model?
How interesting, the way you got into this Babben topic. Huh?
Because it's namely time to play "Make your Babben"!
Mauri, you've got a letter behind you. You can pop that out.
"Make your Babben more terrifying."
"The person with the least terrifying Babben after 30 seconds is eliminated."
- "Time starts on David's cue." - Each of you have a Babben and a set of markers.
You have 30 seconds to make your Babben more terrifying.
The person with the least terrifying Babben is eliminated.
And your time starts now.
We have a lovely silhouette of Babben--
--to give you a foundational shape to work around.
Ten seconds to go.
- No. - Three, two, one, zero!
- Let's see, then. - That's right.
- This one's tricky. - We've got that one, there...
- Yours is so happy, Maria. - Yes, a bit too happy.
- Wasn't it supposed to be 'least terrifying'? - No.
Least terrifying is eliminated.
- No! You're kidding?! - Maria, I'm sorry. You're eliminated in this round.
Which means that you're eliminated as we move on.
- Behind Behrouz, there's a letter. - There is? God, you people are nuts.
"Make your Babben cuter."
"The person with the least cute Babben after 30 seconds is eliminated."
- I still don't quite get it. - You can just sit back and enjoy.
Your time starts now!
The goal is to make your Babben as cute as possible...
To make sure you don't have the least cute Babben.
Because if you do, it all falls apart.
And five seconds to go.
Three, two, one...
Everyone hold up your images.
This is a bit tricky. You've added a line there.
"I love you."
In your own accent, and that's cute.
Charlotta's still looks a bit skull-y. I'm sorry.
- Charlotta, can we see? - Oh, damn!
I'm not going to get any sleep tonight. My god!
Charlotta's out of the game. No more drawing from her.
In that case, Johan can take out a letter behind Maria.
- He's fumbling in my butt. Lovely. - Not 'in' your butt, but...
- That was slightly the idea. - Okay! Read, Johan.
"Make your Babben more powerful. You have 30 seconds."
"Least powerful Babben after 30 seconds is eliminated."
You have 30 seconds, starting now.
The goal is to make your Babben as powerful as possible.
Least powerful Babben is eliminated. 15 seconds to go.
You should be halfway through your artistic vision.
- You think there is any? - I have faith in this gang.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Babben-land, yeah. Talk about someone in charge.
What's your new powerful thing? Is it some sort of...
Part of it is that you've gotten hands where you're clenching your fist, like that.
- Is that a medal, too? - That's a medal.
- What did you do? - This is a queen's crown.
And this is the spire you hold onto, while you rule as boss.
- What've you added on your board? - A territory and a crown on your head.
- There's a crown there, too. - That's a territory?
In that case, I think Behrouz's is slightly too benevolent--
--and no crown, so Behrouz is eliminated here.
Let's move on. Mauri, you have a second letter.
"Make your Babben sexier. You have 30 seconds."
"The person with the least sexy Babben after 30 seconds is eliminated."
"Your time starts on David's cue."
Let's close down this candy shop, now. Your time starts...
And they're off. It seems like it's getting slightly erotic.
Ten seconds, and one last burst of speed...
Least sexy Babben is eliminated.
Right. Let's see, then. What have we got?
We've got a red lacy bra, here. I don't want to go all-in on more breasts than this.
- No? - A touch of sensuality under here, though.
- Here's a wink. Incredibly clear. - Oh, I thought it was a black eye.
And here it's like-- kind of enticing, like this.
- I didn't have time to finish-- - 'Come over here'?
Yeah. Check it out! It's abstract art.
Very abstract.
Let's move on to Mauri. What've you got?
I was less... ...like, it's just tits.
Yes, I'm slightly indecisive--yours is slightly explicit, so to speak. The breasts are on the outside.
And the tongue's going wild.
And over there, we've got a toothless...boss!
But if we leave it to Babben, Mauri nabs the five-pointer.
And that's how we play "Make your Babben"!
Yes, time to distribute some points.
Maria gets one point, Charlotta two, Behrouz three points, Johan four.
And Mauri gets five points. Mauri stuck in there until the end.
And what are we competing for tonight?
Tonight's winner won't have to stick around waiting for their prize until the cows come home.
Because, as a matter of fact, tonight's prize is an identical copy of the cow--
--which featured in the test we saw earlier, and which you can bring home with you.
So you can bathe it as much as you want.
Yes, how wonderful. You've got another test lined up, don't you?
You know what, Babben? I do. It's time to drink kombucha.
- What've you got here, then? - Well, about that...
Hello.
- Björcky. - Sundy.
- Beer or piss? - Alright.
- "Drink kombucha." - "Drink kombucha--" Which tastes great.
"The person who drinks kombucha from the farthest distance wins."
- "If you close your mouth, the test is over." - What...?
"You have ten minutes."
"Your time starts when David asks you to open your mouth."
Just moistening my lips a bit.
From the furthest distance?
Yes, kombucha is a fermented and slightly carbonated beverage made out of tea.
The goal was to drink it from the furthest possible distance.
- And don't forget the matter of the mouth. - No, exactly.
Once you'd opened your mouth, you weren't allowed to test it.
- If you did, the test was over. - Crystal clear.
I think so, too. Might as well start with the thirstiest of the thirsty -- Johan and Charlotta.
- Are you ready? Do you understand? - Yeah. Kinda.
In that case, I'd like to ask you to open your mouth. Open your mouth.
- Which axis are you thinking? - Up to down.
I'm onto something, here.
- I'll go up there. - And pour down, and I'll be like: "Ah!"
- There? Are you ready? - Yeah.
I'm sorry? You want more?
- Do you want more, Charlotta? - Yeah.
- That's right. Here it comes. - How much are you supposed to have?
You actually just need a drop or so.
Mouth closed, there. Good work, Charlotta!
Pretty tasty.
Yes...what is there to say, really? Two similar solutions.
A vertical strategy, with slightly varied results.
What was it like, getting kombucha from that elevation?
- Horrible. Painful. Demeaning, and... - Demeaning?! Oof.
Well, you understand the type of images you get. We've got them all!
What distance did she get?
Johan ingested the golden liquid from a distance of 3.25 meters.
Charlotta lapped up kombucha from a distance of 8.24 meters.
- That's good. - Very good.
- Do we have time to see more attempts? - Not at this exact moment.
Due to the fact that we're going to take a break. We'll get to see the others right after that.
I can reveal one thing already, which is that Mauri's come up with a brilliant, revolutionary strategy. See you soon.
Hello again. We've just seen Johan and Charlotta drink kombucha--
--from a tree and a balcony, respectively.
The challenge is to ingest the beverage from the furthest possible distance.
And I've already revealed that Mauri has a real ace up his sleeve.
- But we'll check out Maria and Behrouz. - Yes.
Open your mouth. Open your mouth. And we're off.
- Can I...? - Yes.
- Is this reasonable? - Sorry?
- Or...? - That should go through, yes.
- You think so? - Yeah.
- How many minutes? - Three have passed.
Slightly tangled, but should be fine.
- It's long, after all. - Yeah. There's something in it!
- Ugh, yuck! - Yee-haw.
Are you going to drink downhill? That's the easiest way, yup.
You're uphill now. Just don't close your mouth for nothing.
Since it's a long...oh! Oh, oh...
Alright, you've probably got to devote some time to the actual drinking, now.
- One minute. - After which, I drink?
- Drink! No, within the time! - Within the time?! Crap!
- So far! - 30 seconds!
- Drink! - Nothing's coming!
- Suck! - I can't!
Get on the ground and suck! There's no pressure. You have to suck!
That's that.
Drink!
Five, four, three, two, one, zero!
- Did you drink? - No!
Wow! What a performance.
- Right? - Good work.
There. Look, there it was.
There it was.
- Can I close my mouth? - Closing's fine, now.
- Incredible. - Good work.
Yes, indeed! Whipped out the hoses.
- Maria, do you have previous experience siphoning liquid? - Never siphoned like this.
It wasn't pure kombucha. It tasted like anything but kombucha.
But I also thought you were supposed to drink the whole thing!
I was practically hurling. All the stuff that went down there...
That's in my stomach, right now.
It went very... it was just like, whoof!
I sucked and I sucked and I sucked!
Behrouz, with some better suction you would've wiped the floor with the others.
- You had a crimp on your hose, it seemed. - That goddamn knot.
- But my saliva production was excellent. - It really was. It really was.
What distance did these two get, then?
Maria hosed down the kombucha from a whopping distance of 11.4 meters.
- And, undoubtedly, the one who drank the most. - No bonus points for that.
- Berra rolled his hose out 39 meters... - Oh! It stings.
But with the tiny detail that he didn't ingest any fluid.
It is what it is. Time for the Mauri special, isn't it?
Mauri Hermundsson has often proven that he's no fool.
He's got a good head on his shoulders. Just look at this.
- Can I say my strategy? - Yes.
I'm going to take a small sip. At least two are getting eliminated due to closed mouth.
With this, I've at least beaten Behrouz and Maria.
In that case, Mauri, I'd like to ask you to open your mouth.
- Yeah! Good job. - You're kidding me! You're kidding me!
You're kidding me!
- You have to be kidding me. - No, no, no. What happened?
I thought people were going to fuck up. I was taking a sip immediately.
That way, I've got a result. That means I've beaten two people.
- Presumably these two. - Yeah.
After that, I was going to bring out the hose and just keep going.
The trouble is that when you drink, you close your mouth.
- A brilliant idea. What was the outcome, though? - Well, how to put this...
- Mauri ended up with 42 centimeters. - Yeah. Alright.
Still gives me more points than Behrouz.
Accurate assessment. Behrouz gets one point. Mauri, bad mouth control. Two points.
Johan slurped his way to three points. Charlotta, four points.
But Maria sucked up five pouring points!
- Ah, wonderful! - Right, my darling David, have you got another test?
You bet your sweet bippy, Babbelicious.
It's time for cans, cans, and -- you guessed it -- cans.
Ah! Hello.
- Good thing you're here. - Thank you, my sunbeam.
Oh, bild...billed...huh?
"Build a tower using the cans in the lab."
"You must put the blindfold on before you leave the shed."
"You may not take it off."
"Highest tower wins. You have five minutes."
- "Your time starts now." - Uh...alright?
I hate you. Where's the blindfold, then?
Do I have to find it?
- Is there a blindfold in that? - Blindfold in a can. Very common.
Alright? I'm going to go to the shed with this on?
- No, you may not leave the shed without it. - Ah, okay.
You're so mean.
Right. The goal here was to be fleet of foot while making your way from the shed to the lab.
Where there actually already was a tower, built from a great deal of cans.
Highest tower of cans when time is up wins. And, as we can see, the tower was very close to the lab entrance.
- So you had to be very smooth, making your way in. - Shouldn't be a problem for this nimble plutoon, right?
No, no, no. Or, well--that remains to be seen.
And see is exactly what we're going to do. They can't see, after all, but we...
Running blind, we'll start with Johan, Charlotta and Behrouz.
Alright. Timer's running. As tall a tower as possible.
- How am I supposed to walk, though? - Into the lab.
- Can I hold onto you? - No.
What the hell?!
There's supposed to be a handle-- here, yes.
- Could you help? - No.
Am I up the stairs? Can't you tell me that, at least? Alright, no.
- You're up the stairs, Johan. - Yeah, well, that was--
Tallest tower wins, then.
Two and a half minutes to go.
Where's the cans?
A minute and a half to go. Ah, not again...
Tallest tower wins.
So close.
- Tallest tower wins. - Was that my tower falling over?
- Well, a tower was standing here... - You're kidding me.
A minute and a half to go.
Careful, careful.
Another floor should...
60 seconds to go.
When you've made... when you've made...careful.
Build carefully, Berra.
- I don't think I can get any higher. - Three floors?
- Three cans tall? - Based on past experience...
...I'll leave it at that.
- Whoa. - Jeez, Charlotta...
- Wow! - 25.
- No! - No, no...
Tallest tower...are you making a backup-tower?
Three, two, one, zero!
Four floors tall.
- What would've happened if this didn't fall over? - ...That'd almost have been better, huh.
Yeah, three cans tall.
Yes, Charlotta. You built and it fell, built and it fell.
But what counted was the tallest tower when your time was up. So, three cans.
We'll give you that. Absolutely.
Johan, was this the test that made you feel the most disappointment afterwards?
No, no, no. There's plenty of others.
- Oh, where to begin? - Yeah. I see where you're coming from.
Behrouz, you took the curves around the tower skillfully.
But all it took was one nudge to tip it over, and after that...
I don't get it. What're the odds that I go for the one furthest on the edge?
If I went the other way...
I really do grab the one that's furthest to the right.
I see my whole future, just crumbling in front of me.
I could tell from the sound that this wasn't good.
I understand, but you built a new one. Four cans tall.
Or was it--you've got the numbers over there.
Charlotta and Johan got three cans. Behrouz ended up at four cans tall.
Four's good.
Not bad, I think. What's next? Who's coming?
Well, it's time for us to take a short break. But right after that, we'll see how Maria and Mauri's towers did.
And we're going to get to meet a secret guest! What?!
See you on the other side.
Welcome back.
Our contestants have been blindfolded and made to build one tower of cans each.
Tallest tower of cans after five minutes wins.
- But they didn't have all the information. - No, exactly.
They didn't know that there was already a magnificent tower standing there...
- ...distressingly close to the lab entrance. - What are we waiting for, then? Who's next?
That would be the Ma-Mas of the panel. Maria and Mauri.
- Ah, the Mamas. - Nice.
I think I'm going to die. This is absolutely lethal.
Walking like this isn't the best, huh. I've got a friend who's blind.
Where's the stairs?! David, could you stand on the stairs and just call for me, so I can hear your voice.
- Four minutes! - Stop.
It should be getting taller somewhere...
As tall a tower as possible, inside the lab.
Inside the lab! I'm not even on the stairs yet.
- Mauri, the more time in the lab... - But how do I know where I'm going?!
- Just take the stairs. - Are they here?
Not exactly.
Here's something, though. There's tons of leaves. Where are you?
- I'm over here. - Okay.
You haven't gone...here's the staircase! I think I found the staircase!
My friend can, like, hear where things are based on sound. Yeah, there you are.
Whoa! What's this?
I really don't get it anymore. I've totally tripped myself up.
- Where are you, approximately? - I'm over here.
I'm totally lost.
- One minute to go. - I'm almost inside the lab, now.
I'm almost there now.
30 seconds to go.
I made some substantial turn that totally knocked me out of the running.
I've gotta hurry, now.
10 seconds to go.
No...no. No!
Oh, how I hate you! I hate you!
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.
- Two, one, zero. - Mauri!
- Whoa! - There's the lab.
- That must've looked stupid. - Well...yeah, yeah.
Good work.
Maria, judging by your exclamations this wasn't your favorite test.
It was an incredibly exciting day out.
If I'd been slightly, slightly worse, and took a turn in Mauri's direction--
--I would've had the world's tallest.
- It was very close. - Yeah.
Mauri, you've got a friend who's blind. You haven't picked up any tips?
No, doesn't seem that way. Like, it's incredibly...
It's so fun that all of you... like, it feels like a winning entry.
That all of you are, like, losing to a guy who...
That was all I did, and I won.
Or--are you sure? Because you didn't build anything.
- No. What does the letter say? - Good angle of attack, Maria.
- He's not creating a damn thing here, is he? - No.
- Should we take a look? - What does the letter say?
"Build a tower using the cans in the lab."
"You must put the blindfold on. You may not remove the blindfold--blah, blah, blah..."
"Tallest tower wins. You have five wins."
The rest of you may, through raising your hands--cover your eyes.
Those whot think Mauri did this test correctly, raise one hand.
And those who think this wasn't performed correctly, raise one hand.
- Yeah, things are moving now. - You felt that, didn't you?
Yeah. You felt it now, right? You know what happened now, right?
When you were walking around over there, you didn't know anything.
Cool, Mauri, cool.
So, we've had a little closed vote. And Mauri, I'm sorry, but 4-0 means you're eliminated.
That's how it is. You simply didn't build the tower yourself.
- With this in mind, where do the rest of the points go? - In that case, it's one point for Mauri...
And after that, everyone jumps up one step. Charlotta and Johan get four points.
Maria and Behrouz--five points each!
Yeah!
And don't forget, everyone, that there's a cow on the line.
- Wow! - Wow.
But anything can happen and everything can change, because it's time for the finale.
Yes, we've reached the finale. How exciting. Johan?
Read the letter aloud for your co-contestants, Babben, and the ones at home.
"Within your teams, shape your bodies to create the letters spelling out Bäst i Test."
"One letter at a time will be presented every ten seconds."
"All three team members need to be included in every letter."
"Most legible Bäst i Test wins. Your time starts on David's cue."
- Behrouz och Maria, there's just two of you. - That's correct.
That's why we have, in this box, a secret participant.
You now have the chance to either pick the participant in the secret box--
--or any of these.
You're so worried that it's Ankan in there.
No, what the hell. We're not chickening out, right? If we lose, we do it with--I hope it's Ankan.
- You pick the box? - Yeah, of course! Obviously.
Exciting. Let's see, then. It was...
Marika Carlsson! What?! Wow!
My friend! Oh! Oh! Let's win. Time to win.
- Congratulations. Or, whatever the phrase is... - This is good. This is top notch.
- Are you pleased with your choice? - Feels incredible.
Oh, you're all so miserable. You could've had me.
In that case, we'd like to ask you to go behind the screens and arrange your teams.
- It boils down to you. - All three of us have to be in the letters.
Let's go, then. Ten seconds a letter.
We'll start with the first one when I blow the whistle.
First letter, then. And ten seconds are going to pass.
Good! On to the next.
- Up, up! And there. - You've got ten seconds.
Five seconds to go.
That's two, one...good! On to the next letter.
- How do you do an S?! - Hang on a bit--
Three, two, one, zero!
Good! Let's move on. Next letter, then.
That's a T. You're right. We're looking for a T.
And you've got it. Moving on.
Next letter. You have ten seconds.
- It shouldn't be hard to make that letter. - Just stand up straight! Stand up straight.
Three, two, one, zero.
- Next letter. - It's a T.
That's right. You've had some practice with that one. Three, two, one, zero.
- Moving on to the next, then. - I'm here.
- Lie down. Other way. - This is going great.
We've got another letter taking shape. That's right.
- Marika, get your legs up. - Three, two, one, zero.
- Moving on! Next letter. - S again!
- What was that like, again? - There. And we moved down.
You have to get everyone into the letter.
- T! - Forward, forward.
You know this one by now. Three, two, one, zero!
- And with that...thank you very much! - Good!
- Right. How'd that feel? - Ah, it was insanely fun.
Let's see how it turned out. May we see the words the teams spelled, here?
We can start by taking a look at the team--
--consisting of Maria, Behrouz and, tonight only, Marika Carlsson.
- That's terrific! - Wow!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa!
- I don't understand this S up top too much. - It's lying down--you have to like, turn it over, and it'll turn into that.
And the E over there looks like... some sort of position that you'd...
- Should we take a look at the next team? - Yes, next team it is.
Which is, quite simply, Mauri, Johan and Charlotta.
- Whoa. Nice B. - The second S, what's that?
Yet another act of love for the S.
- You've nailed the Ts. - What an E.
- Yeah, look at that! - There's four, though...
I decree that Mauri, Charlotta and Johan handled this the best.
Best legibility, bar none. You get three points each.
Round of applause for Marika Carlsson!
This does make me slightly curious. What does this mean for the total standings?
Ah, it was incredibly cool.
So, three points went to Charlotta, Johan and Mauri...
Which means that in fifth place, we find Mauri with 16 points.
But after that, things get exciting.
With 17 points...just one point more. We find Maria, with 17 points.
I don't understand that.
With one tiny point more, we find Johan, with 18 points.
And with just one tiny point more, we find Charlotta, with 19 points.
But after that, you have to step it up two notches...
With 21 points we find Behrouz, who wins tonight's show!
- Come up and collect your cow! - You're kidding me! It's nuts!
- It's mine! Oh, I'm so happy! - And you can pet it, you can bathe it...
And what have we learned today? Don't close your mouth while drinking kombucha.
If the melon breaks, it's not your fault.
And next week, Kindness Week is over.
See you then. Friday, 20:00, on TV4.
Or whenever you want on TV4 Play. Come on, let's congratulate Behrouz.
