"Fun mind in the gutter" [literally, "Fun suitcase"]
Welcome to Kongen Befaler, to Drammens Theatre,
and to the corner where Olli and I enjoy watching tasks,
have crazy conversations with the contestants, and judge tasks.
All of this in the company of this little miracle.
This here puts silver, bronze, even marble casts to shame.
None of them can say that they're a bust in gold of me.
Yeah. It's the proof that you can turn shit into gold.
That's my opinion.
Someone else the golden bust puts to shame,
and proves that you can make shit out of Finnish turd: Olli Wermskog.
We've also got a little crew over here
who can never be gold, but can win gold.
Snorre Monsson.
Amalie Stuve.
Anne Marit Jacobsen.
Abu Hussain.
And Alex Rosén.
Yeah!
As usual, we'll be shown five items
the contestants brought in for a certain category.
And what's the category?
I've asked you to bring something great that fits in your mouths.
It might not be in your mouths right now, though.
I'd like to start with you, Anne Marit.
Okay. - Yeah.
What great thing did you bring that could fit in your mouth?
Yeah...
It's there. - Yeah.
Here it is.
I've brought... I want to be serious for a second.
Honestly. - Okay.
Take me seriously now. - Yes.
So I'd really like to read a poem.
Okay?
I love this poem. It's so lovely.
Kurt Johannessen wrote it. [Norwegian performance artist]
"Eat a thousand flower seeds"
"and drink a big glass of water."
"And go out and lie in the sun."
That was nice. - Beautiful.
I'm also a glad you picked a short one.
It was great, and appropriate. Snorre.
My turn. - Who are you jumping after?
Wirkola. ["Jumping after Wirkola" is an idiom meaning "That'll be hard to beat"]
But it's high time for some low culture.
Look at this group over here, Atle. Alex, Abu, Anne Marit, Amalie, me.
A great bunch, huh? A great bunch. - It's a great bunch.
Great bunch, yeah. - Great bunch.
I've never seen such a great bunch before. Great bunch.
A picture of the great bunch.
A picture of a great bunch. Look at us. Great bunch.
Ouch!
Look at him.
Lovely.
So beautiful, so touching. We're off to a touching start.
That was great. Amalie, what have you brought?
It's been very touching so far.
And you've got? - And I've got...
A £1 frankfurter. - Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What is that stuff?
Are you all about contrasts? - Yes.
Yes, that's how I work. - Good.
I brought a £1 frankfurter, It's a touching, actually.
Every Christmas Eve, dad used to take my brother and me to a petrol station
to eat a £1 frankfurter. So I brought a great childhood memory.
They stopped doing them now, and my dad loves to save money.
So now we just go on a walk Christmas Eve. No more sausages.
This is a cry for help? - This is a luxury for me.
An appeal to revive the tradition? - Yes, it is.
We need to prove that... - Yes, that's true.
Yes. - Yes.
That's it. - That's it.
That's it. - Yeah, yeah.
And this it. - Yeah.
It's okay. - We're halfway there.
Haven't practised beforehand either.
There.
Yes, it fits!
Good! - It feels like Christmas now.
That was touching. - Merry Christmas.
Abu, what did you bring?
When I was younger, I watched a lot of hip-hop music videos.
I was very into hip-hop, rap. And the rappers had bling in their mouths.
Bling, what is that? - Diamonds.
Oh, yeah. - Something shiny.
Gold.
I'm from Lørenskog. [a suburb of Oslo]
Bling is expensive!
So I brought...
So every time I wanted bling,
I just reminded myself that my mom would say no.
Because it costs a fortune.
So I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and...
Let me see!
There's more left. - Yeah.
There's more left.
I've had a lot of foil in my mouth.
Lørenskog grills. - Yes.
Another nice personal story. - Yes.
I'm getting a soft spot for it. I'm getting old and soft.
Alex, I'm sure you can fix that.
I've been around the world a lot, to strange places.
And I always carry something very valuable around my neck.
I can wear it anywhere, and it's this.
It's my gold chain. - Gold chain?
And it's like a back-up.
When I lose my passport, money, bank cards, everything,
I have this around my neck, so I can just take it off.
And then I can travel on because gold is just as valuable wherever you are.
It works in Africa, in South America...
How much is it worth now?
I paid 3,000 kroner for it in '97. [£220/US$285]
Now I think it's worth 40,000. [£2,900/US$3,800]
A bit more than that. - Yeah.
It's worth more than the tin foil.
I can just put that in my mouth.
That works, that works.
It's a pretty good deal if Abu wins the show today.
I'd say so. Are you ready to score?
Yes. It was touching. I don't want to give anyone 1 point.
Tell Alex to take it out. - Yes, take it out if you want.
He'll eat it if you don't. - Let's start with...
Two. I'll give you 2 points, Alex.
2 points for the chain? - No-one gets 1. So you get 2.
Amalie, you get 2 points too. - Yes.
Fine.
Anne Marit, you get 3 points. - Yes!
You charmed your way into a 4, Snorre. You get 5, Abu.
The first points have been handed out.
Olli, aren't we sick of seeing eggs in their safe, usual setting?
I think so.
Sick of seeing eggs in cartons,
hidden away from the realities of life?
I want to see eggs out of their natural habitat.
Where the eggs can feel that they're alive.
Sure. Let's have a look.
Hi. - Hi.
Looks like miniature golf.
"Play miniature golf..."
I knew it. I was thinking about eggs all night.
"Play miniature golf with eggs."
"When the game begins, you can't touch the egg."
"If the egg breaks, you must start over again."
Here you go. - Thank you.
Miniature golf. I guess that's an eggs' worst nightmare. Egg hell.
Is there anything to add? - No.
Get the egg in the hole in the least amount of strokes. If it breaks,
you have to start over with a new egg. Fewest strokes win.
Should we start with the boys? - All the boys?
All the boys!
Let's have a look.
Let's see.
First egg's gone.
This is going to be hard.
Wow.
Wow!
Done.
I'm going to try a calmer approach.
Oh...
There we are.
Bye! - Bye-bye!
Alex, the egg whisperer.
I feel like I had it under control. A bit of hockey technique.
Soft touch. Very smart.
Snorre.
You should've taken some time to understand the egg.
How does an egg react and work?
You were pretty rough. - Yeah. I don't know.
How did you do it? It didn't take much for it to break.
My eggs were more fragile! You tricked me.
You gave me fragile eggs.
The hens had too little calcium!
That's it.
They're old eggs, right? We don't use fresh eggs and break them on TV?
They're inedible eggs.
But there were chickens inside.
Don't play with me.
So we've seen... - All the boys!
The boys. - And now?
It's all the girls! - Yes.
What do I do about that? - You can...
That's it. - It's for the birds.
But can I put something... Wait. Can I put something soft on it?
Oh, where is it?
It's like it doesn't want to.
Maybe it's better with this.
Hold on. This is clever.
No, I touched the egg!
I'm too clever for my own good.
Too many smart solutions. I've got too many strokes.
Whoa! - Whoa!
There!
I've stopped the clock.
I think I'll do a little bit at a time.
Like this. - Yeah.
Oh!
Did you see that? - Yes.
Everybody got an egg in the hole. Who used the least amount of strokes?
I'll tell you, but we can start off with a fun fact.
Most of them used three eggs. Snorre used nine.
Nine? - Yes.
And Alex was the only one who didn't break any eggs.
But it wasn't about the number of eggs, but the number of strokes.
Amalie took...
You're at the bottom. 25 strokes. - Okay.
Snorre, second bottom. 21 strokes.
Abu, you're in the middle. 14 strokes.
Alex, nine. Anne Marit, eight. - Eight strokes!
You get 5 points. You won! Let's see here.
The total scores for today are...
Wow, wow! Anne Marit and Abu in the lead!
Like in the last episode. They're in the lead this time too.
I'm scared shitless! - What happened?
Time for a quick break. We'll be right back.
Olli. - Yes!
I want to see something incredible! - Okay. We have something incredible.
A task where the contestants do something incredible with one hand
under the table.
Awesome! And what about the other hand?
They'll wave with it. - Yes!
Exactly what I want to see. - That's perfect!
Wow... Wow, wow, wow. Thank you very much.
Do you feel big?
"Do something incredible under the table with one hand."
"You must look at the camera, smile, and wave your other hand."
"The most incredible thing done under the table wins."
"You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now."
I'm guessing that people at home will laugh when they hear the task.
It's sort of fun, mind in the gutter...
I don't know what you mean. - You know what I mean.
But you can't do that.
What? - What? Gutter?
Snorre says it's something dirty. What do you mean?
You're just supposed to wave, smile. - I don't think they'll be dirty.
None of them.
I can't imagine. - Neither can I, though I was there.
They have to do something incredible under the table whilst waving?
How can that be dirty? - It's so bloody stupid!
We'll see about that. Whether their minds are in the gutter.
Should we start with... Who? - Everyone, except Alex.
We'll save Alex until last. - Oh, wow!
Really?
That was harder than I thought. No! Wait, then. There.
No, it's...
I'm actually enjoying myself.
It's too slippery. I'm losing my grip.
Oops.
Hey!
And now we're going to see him come out.
Oh... - Remember to wave.
I am a clown...
Who won't clown...
Oh, my god.
My face hurts from smiling.
Yes!
Na...
No!
I think that's incredible enough to get 3 points.
I can reach it.
There we go.
I think Atle will appreciate this.
This is exactly how Atle sees Olli.
Incredible!
And I'm strumming my lip.
Is that enough? - Yes.
Thank you! - Done? What did you do?
I did a little performance with a caveman who was inside a little box.
It smells great.
It's incredible!
It turned out great!
Yeah!
Look at that! Nothing dirty.
Well done. Amalie, very good.
I'm impressed. It looked like you were enjoying yourself.
I really was.
Did your hand go a bit sore? - You kept waving as you ate.
There were only two fingers left in the end.
Anne Marit, it's in tasks like these
you see what a long life on stage can do to a person's head.
That was pretty mad. - Yes.
I did a performance down there, as you could tell.
Down there, yeah. A show called 'Nether regions'.
Abu, wasn't that the opposite of incredible?
Do you know how hard it is to control a ball without seeing it?
Yes. If you did that, it would be incredible.
I did it for three... two... one second.
You're defending yourself well. Great stuff.
Snorre, yours was good. I wouldn't say it was incredible,
but you'll be rewarded for the way you treated Olli.
It was nice. - I appreciate that.
We've got one more. - Yes, we do.
It's Alex. - He looks very suspicious.
I have no idea what I did.
That's what I suspected. I don't think you remember this.
But I'm sure it's not dirty, seeing as it's Alex Rosén.
Let's watch it. - Let's watch it.
Hey, hey!
Now I'm done.
Yes!
Alex, if you weren't shameless, you would be ashamed right now.
I am a bit. - You're a bit ashamed right now.
We'll get that 1 point of yours over with straight away.
So we can move one. That's 1 point for you.
And the rest? - Ball spinning, 2 points.
That's all you get for doing that.
I'm sure you agree. - Agreed.
And the music box? 3 points for the madness.
That's great! - Absolutely!
If I got more, I would've gotten closer.
Closer to that? - Yes, and I don't want that.
Obviously, 5 points to Amalie. 4 to Snorre.
We need a little break. See you soon!
Olli, I've always thought
that the way someone bounces something into something
says something about them. - What?
About how good they are at bouncing something into something.
And I would like to explore that now.
Okay.
Welcome! - Thank you!
So you do talk. - I can talk.
Hat? - Hat.
"Make something bounce into something."
"You can only choose one thing to bounce,"
"and one thing to bounce it into."
"You can only choose one thing to bounce, and one thing to bounce it into."
It's not just once? You have multiple attempts.
"The furthest bounce into something wins."
"You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now."
What exactly is a bounce? Is this a bounce?
I'd define that as a jump, maybe.
"Bounce into something." Bounce...
Did you figure out what bouncing is, Abu?
I don't remember what I did. - You froze a bit.
I felt like it was a trick question. - Fear's holding you back.
They have to bounce one thing into something from the farthest distance.
You can't switch what you bounce, or bounce into.
Let's see if Abu figured it out, and throw in a couple more.
Like Anne Marit and Alex. - That doesn't bode well.
I have to bounce something into something.
The problem is, I don't quite understand what bouncing is.
I've blacked out, because bounce...
When do you bounce? How many times have I said "bounce" now?
I have to choose one thing.
Bounce.
That's nice.
And then I think I'm going to bounce it into the fountain.
The ball's pretty bouncy. Oh my god.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
Furthest bounce.
You're bouncing that? - Like a slingshot.
I bounce...
No...
That's got great bounce.
That's good.
It didn't work. I need to bounce something.
Oh, shit! Of course!
What are you looking for? - A ball.
Because balls bounce.
I'm going to bounce.
That was in. That was absolutely brilliant.
Just go measure. - Okay.
Just walk up the stairs.
I'm really pleased.
One, two, three, four. Four metres will do.
My god, my stamina...
Come on!
Was it in? It was in.
It's in. - Is it?
Yes. - I'll measure from wall to bowl.
Yes. Abu, how long did it take for you to realise
that a ball bounces?
I was just overthinking the whole thing.
When you call it "overthinking", you make it seem intelligent.
It's not. - No.
Good. So it's underthinking?
Unfortunately. - So we agree. Alex.
You're always full throttle.
You have a throttle pedal, but no steering wheel.
I'm ahead of my time. - Yes.
You're also making it sound intelligent.
It's an advantage in life. - Yes.
Anne Marit, that was a good bounce.
Good bounce, straight into... It went in.
But was it brilliant? - No, I wouldn't say so.
Okay.
We have two bounces left. - We do.
But do you want some stats first? - Sure.
Alex got 3.9 metres.
Abu, 4.5 metres. And Anne Marit, 5.6 metres.
You're in the lead for now. Here's Snorre and Amalie.
The other contestants might have set up buckets and tried to hit them.
But you can think bigger.
Here!
It feels like the easiest solution, but also like a really good solution.
Tennis ball and racket? - Yes.
What if I bounce it right in here?
It'll hit the shed. Into the shed.
I wonder if
into the garden isn't such a bad idea.
Bouncy ball, into the garden. - Okay!
Get your big tape measure out. The long tape measure.
Olli. - Yes!
Bounce point here, into the shed.
There it is. - Whatever.
You squashed your enthusiasm very quickly there, Amalie.
You went into cool mode very quickly.
I'm glad to see you guys thinking outside the box. Think big!
Into the garden, Snorre. - Yes, into the garden.
I'm intrigued. Seemed like they bounced pretty far.
Amalie bounced into the shed and Snorre into the garden.
That's when... - The two longest bounces for sure.
Yes, and they're approved. They both bounced...
How do you conjugate it? - Bounce, bounced, bunce, binced.
They both binced into something.
One of you got 19 metres.
The other one got 30 metres.
Snorre, who do you think got 30? You have to answer within three...
I don't know! I can't! You have to say it.
You got 19, and Amalie got 30. 5 points to Amalie.
Alex 1 point, Abu 2, Anne Marit 3, Snorre 4, and Amalie 5.
Here's the total scores for this episode.
It's so close. Anne Marit and Snorre in the lead.
Alex, you've pretty far behind, but nothing's decided yet.
Now it's time for the studio task. Get on the stage!
We're at the final task in the show.
Welcome to cannonball roulette.
The point is not to hit the Taskmaster.
You will each go to a cannon of your choice.
Then you will light the fuse.
If it's firing blanks, you're through to the next round.
If it hits the Taskmaster, naturally, you're out.
Let's see how it goes. Who wants to go first?
Me! - Wow! That was fast.
You go first, Snorre.
Do you want to? - I want to go fourth!
Not that slowly.
Hush, Marit. - I'm building suspense!
That's good. - Bloody hell, how exciting.
There we go.
Are you feeling the energy?
Now he's taking... - You're going for the closest one.
That's clever. - It's not.
Very clever. I doubt they put it there.
Wow! - Oh!
Whoa, whoa!
Whoa.
Oh...
That was blanks.
Yes, yes! - You're through to the next round.
Good! You can go sit down. - I was going to choose that!
Who wants to go now?
I want to. - You want to? Okay.
Wow! - She's already decided.
Okay.
She's running. - I'll cover my ears.
That one was also fine.
It's scary.
Who wants to go third?
Abu, you're up. - Okay.
He's so close.
I'm a little scared. - You seem apprehensive.
Wow!
It's out.
Well done. - There are two left.
Alex or Amalie, who wants to go?
Amalie. - Amalie wants to go. Go ahead!
You've decided? - Yes.
She looks evil. - Yes.
I'm a little...
It's scary. - Oh.
Oh!
Yes! - No, no, no.
Okay, okay.
Yeah! That's good. You're through.
You can sit down.
Yes, Alex.
Yes. - It's your turn.
Have you been sitting there making a plan?
I've been thinking and doing probability calculations.
I've worked out that this one is a bit closer.
What do you base it on? - Distance to victim.
Are you ready? - Yes.
Alright, everybody!
There.
Yes.
No. - Oh...
You're through.
That's good. You can have a seat.
Round two! Anne Marit, you decide who goes first.
I'll go first. - Okay!
She has her own. She brought her own.
Are you the whistler?
Oh.
There it goes.
Let's see...
Whoa!
No! - That was a good shot.
It's fun, though. - You're out. Go stand next to Abu.
I was trying not to hit him. - It was fun, but too bad. Alex?
Me? - That's your choice.
Then it's you. Yes.
Snorre. - Okay.
You've made up your mind.
Any reason why you went for that one?
For the suspense. Someone went there, so I'll go here.
You'll burn your finger.
Let's see...
No! - Yes!
You're through.
Amalie, you decide.
I decide? - Yes. You or Alex?
I'll do it. - Yes, good!
Okay. That was one, right? A cannonball.
Then...
I don't know if... - You should pick one with a fuse.
Yes!
I'll go for this one. - Okay.
But it's probably easier than we think.
Of course, it's the same on each side.
Pick another one, then.
No! - Okay.
No, I'll take this one. - That might be stupid.
I'll take this one.
Are you sure about that?
I'll follow my intuition and go for this one.
Oh.
No!
Should've picked that.
Bang on the nose.
The second one to hit my nose. It's been hardened.
Was that painful? - I can live with it.
That's good. Amalie, that's you out.
It's more painful for those who hit me.
Alex? - Is it me now?
Last person in round two.
Okay.
There's one ball left? - Yes.
One left. - In one of them.
One, two, three, four?
Five, six. - Are there that many left?
No. - Okay.
Okay.
Alright!
Yes. You chose that one.
Yes. Let's see.
Alright, everybody.
You're through. You can take a seat.
It's the final battle. We're in round three.
Please. - Come on, Snorre.
How's the flexibility coming along?
You're that close, huh?
Alex?
Yes. It's me.
There are only three cannons left? - Yes.
One, two, three... - There should be four.
Okay. Then... - Four left.
I'll go for this. - Okay.
Here we go. - Alright.
Wow!
Yes!
Yeah, the fact that you caught it didn't help.
That means that Snorre won. Let's look at the final scores.
That was pretty rough. - Are you alright?
I'm fine, but I haven't seen any empathy from the contestants.
They liked hitting me.
Any minus points? - No. Can you go through it?
Abu, you went out first. 1 point.
Then Amalie and Anne Marit in the same round. 3 points each.
Alex 4, and Snorre 5.
Yes. - Yes!
Here are the points for this round.
I'm excited to see who today's winner is.
The winner is...
Snorre Monsson is the winner of today's episode!
He can leave with five great things you can put in your mouth.
We'll be back next time, and if you binge the whole season,
we'll be back in a few seconds!
Today, we learned that if you bounce and miss the shed,
you've still bounced into the garden.
Thank you for watching. See you next time.
