"The Christmas Lord"
Merry Christmas, and welcome to the programme that,
first and foremost, is Kongen Befaler,
and secondly, is a Christmas special.
It's the Kongen Befaler Christmas special.
We have brought in five participants
who have made a Kongen Befaler comeback
to fight for the Rolls-Royce of Christmas decorations:
a Christmas bauble in gold with a picture of me!
Yes. I also have Santa's little helper with me,
who uses his days off work to be here, Olli Wermskog.
Thank you very much, Santa! - You're welcome.
Those who are already halfway through this Christmas marathon are...
Leo Ajkic!
Solveig Kloppen!
Kristoffer Olsen!
Siri Kristiansen!
And Calle Hellevang-Larsen!
The first task is about to start,
and it's time to rank the contestants by their celebrity status.
Yes. They have been given the following task:
Bring the most expensive thing you have received because you're a celebrity.
I want to start with Solveig.
Yes. I have been a celebrity for many years.
Yes.
Yes... - Yes, that's... That's good!
Congratulations! - Thank you very much.
I worked at NRK about 20 years ago... Yes.
Then I was interviewed by a very nice and cute guy,
who would later become my husband.
We met because I was a celebrity.
Is it a tragedy? No. - No.
That was, in a way, a gift.
And then, a few years ago, I got a Christmas present.
This thing.
Which is a...
massage chair.
No!
Wow that's nice! - Thank you.
But...
I have sat in this massage chair a lot,
but it works so poorly
that I have suffered some kind of locking in the lower back,
i.e. in the lumbar spine. - Caused by the chair?
Caused by the chair,
which resulted in me having to go to a physiotherapist.
It's "via, via, via"? - Yes, it is.
And it's very expensive to go to a private physiotherapist,
because we don't get these types of injuries covered by the state.
I see. That's what is expensive.
Yes.
So basically, you have received a gift from your husband
that you didn't like very much, so you want to give it away tonight.
You're not planning to win tonight.
No.
Wonderful. - Thanks.
Siri?
I have interpreted the task a bit like Solveig.
Something that ended up being expensive for me.
I haven't been a celebrity that long.
You could say I've barely started.
But I have still managed to owe a rather large sum of back taxes.
Because I like to interpret the law and find loopholes in my own ways.
And the taxman doesn't like that very much.
We don't get to see the amount? - We don't need to go into the details...
Yes, go into the details! - We can just agree that...
But it's more than 1,000 kroner? - Yes, it was expensive.
If anyone else has something that I think is more expensive,
then I might give you the amount.
Right.
It was damn expensive for me. - I understand.
It's humblebragging, of course,
because you don't want to talk about how much you earn,
but you'd love to talk about your back taxes.
As a kind of indication. - Yes.
I'm sure we can get that amount out of you eventually,
but we'll let you be for now and move on to Calle.
Yes, we have kind of discussed this already.
How do you measure value?
What is expensive and what is not expensive?
When I worked on the TV programme Praktisk Info med Jon Almaas...
['Practical Information with Jon Almaas' (season 2 contestant)]
...I was once sent a gift from a viewer,
a sweet, slightly older lady.
And it was a real gift.
It's this lovely knitted sweater. Isn't it nice?
Yes. - It's very nice.
And then you can...
Completely my colour, size, everything.
I was very happy when I opened it.
Then you can imagine all the work that went into it.
She has been sitting there night after night, hour after hour.
Put lots of love, time, and diligence into this.
She has gone to the yarn shop,
bought expensive yarn.
This is 100 percent merino wool.
You can also see that she has used garter stitch and raglan sleeves.
Beautiful purl on the sleeves, or 'bole', as some call it. People are weird.
It's just so beautiful, so thank you so much!
And also, in addition to that,
when I wear it, I can tell the whole world that
I have worked with 'Praktisk Info', and that's cool.
Oi. - Oi, that's nice!
Yes, I'm the guy from 'Praktisk Info'.
What does it say here? - That's short for... It says PIMJA.
And that is? - 'Praktisk Info med Jon Almaas'.
All of that is knitted into the sweater? - Yes, it is... It's so lovely.
It is both impressive and beautiful at the same time.
Yes, I'll just put it on. - Please do.
Something tells me you don't wear it very often.
You don't wear it... - I don't wear it very often.
I've worn it once.
It's a beautiful sweater, Calle. - Isn't it good?
It's very good.
It's very valuable to me.
But is it the most expensive? No, we'll see.
Who are we going to see now? - Leo.
I'm much bigger than Calle. I am 2XL.
And I have a sweater, so that in itself is more expensive.
It doesn't matter if I'm more famous, but I have a bigger sweater.
That's unfortunate, Calle. - It's...
What does it stand for?
NMG gang, man. That's my gang.
It's Bergen. - Your gang?
If you know you know, but listen...
This was made by a lady with one hand.
Yes. Your mother only has one foot, so...
I wasn't laughing then, but listen...
Equal pay for all, do we agree?
As long as they're not children. They can get a little less.
Everyone over 16 gets what? 130 [kroner] per hour?
The lady spent almost half a year on this.
This is a gang sweater? - Yes, it is.
You guys are really tough.
Rock-hard environment over there.
NMG. Okay, great. Good.
Kristoffer?
If we're measuring value by the size of sweaters, then...
I could get 5 easy points.
But I think I have something better than that.
I have brought...
...a bust in gold, of you!
It's also clear brown-nosing, but it always works.
But I can give you some very specific figures,
since I have no reason to believe that you would lie to me about anything.
So when you say I've got a bust in gold, then I've got a bust in gold.
And today, I looked up the international gold prices.
And, as it stands today, one gram of gold, 24 carats...
You're not a frivolous guy. You'd go for 24 carats.
I don't know of anything else.
One gram of gold is worth 618 kroner [c£47].
This statue, or bust, weighs 6.8 kilos.
That means that, in my hands,
I'm holding more than 4.2 million kroner [c£317k].
We know you've had a good year, Siri.
I was about to say, it's funny that that's exactly what I got in back taxes,
but it's in the other direction.
But you'll get back taxes of 2.5 million [c£189k],
and then you surpass everyone.
Yes, so in that sense, I shouldn't have brought it.
You should have forgot about it.
Yes, now you have to distribute the points.
I will distribute the points.
It's...
It's absolutely impossible to give points here.
Let's just drop it, then. - Yes.
Yes, you're not very confident?
But let's say...
Stop putting me last!
No, you won't be last. No.
You're above the guys with the sweaters.
I'll be last.
Leo. He gets... As the innovator, he gets 2.
Since you came after him, so you get 1 point.
What? - That's how it is.
Siri, 3.
You get 4 for the massage chair.
And you, of course, get 5 points.
I have no other choice.
It's Olsen who runs away with the first 5-pointer today.
We know that it's not Christmas without mulled wine, Olli.
Nor is it Christmas without carrying.
Exactly. And we have combined those into mulled wine carrying.
Yes, we have.
That's a very big Santa Claus. - Yes.
Ugly Santa.
"Olli doesn't have the strength"
"to put the pot of mulled wine on the stove,"
"because it is full of mulled wine."
"Luckily, you have the strength."
Claim.
"Move the pot of mulled wine, and put it on the stove."
"This candle must be held above your head at all times."
"The one with the most mulled wine"
"in the pot when it's on the stove wins."
"You have 10 minutes."
"Your time starts now."
I have to hold it, so I can't attach it to something or make a kind of hat?
Can you?
Is it the one in there, or are there more stoves?
Oh, that stove.
Do you see the stove? - Yes.
Where? - In here.
Wrong stove.
Is there another stove?
Oh that stove. Does it have to be that one?
Yes.
Yes, it has to be that stove.
There's no point in trying. It's that stove.
How much mulled wine is in the pot?
20 litres.
So it's a matter of getting the pot down to the stove,
and the amount of mulled wine shouldn't
be that different when it's down there.
Preferably 20 litres. Then you win.
Who do we start with?
We'll start with Kristoffer and Solveig.
I'll move the mulled wine into this pot, carry the pot,
and then... put it back into the other pot.
If you understand. - I understand.
What are you doing?
I'm transporting mulled wine.
This time I decided not to think too much.
And I don't feel like I have done that.
Right.
There you go.
Huh?
This should go smoothly.
Until we get there.
Right, now I have taken too much.
How much time do I have?
Four and a half minutes.
God, that's a long time.
Here I come.
Oh, shit.
Hold me!
You have to hold me. - Here too?
Not too fast.
Go faster.
Then I'll stop the time. - I'm not finished.
Okay.
That was good. - Thank you.
Huh? - Goodbye.
Nah.
Yes yes yes. - Yes.
Solveig, the fact that you were able to carry the pot with so few problems...
It's not much smaller than you.
I'm an old handball player.
An old handball player, yes.
I got more of a Mrs. Pepperpot vibe. [character from kid's books by Norwegian author Alf Prøysen]
There was something great about it.
It's not a bad idea to use your sweater to capture the spill.
Yes, that worked well.
I might have even got some extra out of it,
because there was a lot of sweat involved there too.
Do you want some results? - Yes, please.
It was 20 litres originally.
You both did pretty well.
Solveig, you got 19.5 litres. - Oh, good!
Yes, absolutely.
Kristoffer, 19.0 litres.
Ouch. - Yes.
Should we just go ahead with the last three?
Let's do that. - Then we'll do that.
Now I have to make some sort of carrying structure.
It's not that easy when you only have one arm.
So heavy!
Oh yes.
There was some old water in the hose.
But I'm willing to sacrifice just a little... There.
And if I then go for the good old hip trick.
Noble drops.
You know what?
I don't care about those drops, man.
There are two minutes left. - Two?
Well, two and a half.
Bye!
You are very concerned with using all the time you have at your disposal.
When there are two minutes left, you fill it with some Santa violence.
I have to spend it on something useful.
We shouldn't have that kind of American Christmas crap here in Norway.
Some aggression there.
I'm glad I'm not the Santa at your house,
because that looked... dramatic.
Siri, you went for a very familiar strategy.
Yes, what is it called in the context of competition?
Lazy?
Yes, I think it's called lazy.
I was so inspired by Leo's season.
Right.
Well, I don't know...
Is it time to see if laziness pays off this time?
Yes, we can reveal that it didn't pay off.
Siri, you are last with 14.8 litres. - That's not too bad.
Calle, second last with 18.4. - What?!
And in third place is 19, which was Kristoffer.
And then only one decilitre separates Solveig and Leo.
But Leo, you got 19.6. 5 points. Congratulations!
Wow, that's good!
Here we can see that the standings are like this.
And, in total, it's like this.
Oi!
8-8-6-4-4.
It could hardly get any closer. It's fantastic.
It's time for some adverts now. See you soon.
[Finnish] So, Atle. How are you doing?
[Finnish] All good?
Yes, I agree.
[Finnish] Should we continue? - Yes, yes, yes. Accessed.
Okay.
No.
Wow.
You have a difficult language, man.
Finnish-Norwegian dictionary...
Finnish-Norwegian dictionary?
"In 15 minutes, you will make small talk with Kauko."
"He only knows Finnish."
"You can use the dictionary and the iPad until he arrives."
"The best small talk in Finnish wins."
"Your time starts... now."
Okay.
Yes.
Santa comes from Drøbak [town in Norway], also called Finland. [both claim to be the home of Santa Claus]
It's not a bad idea to be able to make a bit of small talk,
when he [Santa Claus] comes to visit at Christmas.
That's right. And the participants had a full 15 minutes to learn Finnish,
and then keep a conversation going with the guy they choose to call "Kauko", [referring to their Norwegian pronunciation of his name]
who is a Finnish person.
I assume this went brilliantly.
There's no reason to believe otherwise.
Should we just get started with the first ones?
Yes, we can start with Calle and Leo.
Do you know any Finnish? - No.
You can't teach me anything? - No.
"No" in Finnish is "no"? - No.
It doesn't say that I can't use my mobile phone.
It's just a suggestion that I can use the iPad.
"Have you been watching Maskorama lately?" [Norwegian version of The Masked Singer]
Are you good at small talk?
Yes.
The king of small talk.
"I don't know."
Three, two, one.
Time's up.
High five!
Hello. My name is Calle.
What's your name?
My name is Kauko.
Yes, no. Yes, no.
How are you? - Very good.
How are you?
Good. How are you? - Yeah, yeah.
Kauko? - Yes?
Have you been watching Maskorama lately?
No, I have not.
Welcome...
Thank you, thank you. - ...to Norway. "Thank you"?
Thank you. - Thank you... [Spanish] what?
Thank you for welcoming me to Norway.
Me to Norway? - Yes, to Norway.
Yes, no. - Yes, no.
I have to go. Hug?
Goodbye! - Bye!
Yes.
At least you have understood the concept of 'small talk', Calle.
"Yes. No. No. Yes. No."
Nice conversations.
Leo, I heard you speaking both Spanish, German,
and some English. - And some... What's it called?
Sign language? - Yes.
There wasn't much Finnish. - But it was very difficult.
It's an incredibly difficult language, man.
I'll give you that.
Thank you very, very much.
Thank you very much. I'll take that.
We have a winner. Yes, great.
Thank you. That's touching.
"I'll give you that."
But I want to see more.
Yes, you get to see more.
Here comes...
Should we just take one? Should we see Siri?
That'll be fun.
I was dating a Finnish guy for almost seven years.
I can say... "ei saa peittää". [written on every electric heater in Norway, along with the same phrase in other languages]
It means, "Do not cover the heater".
And I've eaten a lot of pirogs. [pies made using yeasted dough]
That's what seven years gave you?
Yes.
I'm not sure he spoke Finnish himself.
"Kyykkä". [Finnish game, but sounds like the Norwegian word for 'cock']
You Finns, with so much cocks and nudity.
I was on a desert island once with a group of Finns.
One guy was naked.
Enough small talk.
What about the NATO boss? What a guy he is.
Hello! - Hello.
Okay, enough with the...?
What do you think about NATO?
I think that Finland should join NATO as soon as possible.
Whose pistachio...?
Pistachios, yes.
I don't know.
He is a bit of a boss type?
A type.
Um... "tuoppi" [beer glass]?
Yes, a large beer, please.
Grandma? - "Moomin!"
"Moominpappa", "Moominmamma".
Did you read The Moomintroll as a child?
[Spanish] Si, si. [French] Oui, oui. [English] Yes.
I thought we were going to get a beer. But no.
I think that was the most absurd conversation of the day.
I think it looks like Olli is moved. Are you?
Embarrassed. There's a difference.
Something you might not have thought much about.
When you ask a question, you get an answer you don't understand.
Then you're immediately in trouble.
So actually, you should've only asked 'yes' or 'no' questions.
I think that would increase the flow of the conversation.
Yes, but I tried to open the whole conversation by saying,
"Enough small talk."
I googled myself to the information that Finns don't like small talk,
so that was supposed to be my charm offensive to him.
But that kind of fell through when the word for "small talk"...
I don't think he likes small talk any better after this.
At least not after you tricked him into thinking he'd get a beer when he didn't.
I think that will come back to bite you. - I think he really fell for me.
Did you see how disappointed he was at the end?
He imagined a delicious lager.
Alright. Two more? - Yes. - Two more.
Let's see them.
I can use this.
Let's see. Finnish? Let's see.
Oh my god, Finnish is so difficult!
Is that how you talk?
How is The Christmas Lord? [tries to say 'Santa Claus']
I can see it on you, that I'm onto something.
Give me Kauko.
Kauko.
Yes.
How is The Christmas Lord?
It will be Christmas in the Sahara, just like here.
Yes. - Hello!
Hello.
What's your name?
Kauko. What's your name?
My name is Solveig.
Do you listen to MC Hammer?
MC Hammer, yes.
Yes, that's good.
Can you...
...ask me question?
A question?
Yes.
How did you learn Finnish so well?
An interesting question.
Sure.
What's your favourite beer, sir?
My favourite beer is Hansa Light.
I have never heard of it.
I want to tell you a joke.
Nice.
How do you make a Swede...
...laugh...
...on New Year's Eve?
I don't know.
You tell a joke on Christmas Eve.
Goodbye. - Bye.
Bye bye.
I have to start with you, Solveig. That was fascinating.
You became a completely different person.
Yes. I'm not sure who she is...
Yes, very... - ...but I like her.
Yes, I got a bit of a 'Mrs. Pepperpot in Finland' vibe, all of a sudden.
You took a leap there... Up to a squeak.
It was very fascinating.
What did you feel?
Shame.
But you did well. - Yes.
He understood everything, and he laughed at the joke.
That's the most impressive.
Kristoffer, it looked like it came very naturally to you.
Even "MC Hammer". - Yes.
Can't touch this. - Yes.
Overall, you had the best pronunciation.
Or? - Yes yes yes.
But what does Kauko think of the performances?
He's the one who decides.
He decides. He has ranked you.
Kauko says that at the bottom...
Well, Siri.
The beer came back to bite you. It did.
And there was something about NATO.
You complicated it for yourself.
Leo, you were above Siri.
Then it's Calle in third place.
And then it's between Solveig and Kristoffer.
The one he thought was the best...
...is Solveig. 5 points!
That was good. Yes.
We will get some quick Christmas gift tips, in the form of advertising.
Be right back.
It's time to test your limits, Olli.
It's time? You test my limits pretty much every day.
I do, but now they will test your limits.
Was that funny?
There. Now I can't see you.
"Do something that is beneath Olli's dignity"
"Furthest away from Olli's own acceptable behaviour wins."
"You have 20 minutes."
"Your time starts now."
What about beatboxing?
No, that's not beneath my dignity.
Okay, but then we have to think, Olli.
Apart from killing someone, what would you never do?
If I told you, I'd be giving it away.
Olli, is there a lot that you consider to be beneath your dignity?
Yes, there is quite a lot.
Right, so it's possible to do well here.
Absolutely.
Solveig, who said that Olli wouldn't kill someone?
I think too well of him, of course.
Yes, that's what you do. You think too well of him.
But you're the one who knows the correct answers here, Olli.
Shall we see some of it?
Absolutely. We can just let the images speak for themselves.
It's very easy to think inside the box here,
because you are easy to predict in some ways.
So I assume, just by saying this,
that we can cut to the people
who have put something in their mouths that you are allergic to.
Here we go.
You would never...
It's marzipan. Isn't it?
Yes, and you are allergic to it. - Very.
Now we're enjoying ourselves. - 15 minutes left.
Yes. I have to make balls for it too.
I don't want to do anything that is beneath your dignity.
All the things I can imagine are beneath my dignity too.
Here, Olli.
Here I have...
...everything I need...
...to do something that you think is beneath your dignity,
because I know that you are one of Norway's very best tap dancers.
But, for some reason, you don't want to show
how good you are on national TV.
Therefore, I will do it for you.
No, that is beneath my dignity.
One, five, six, seven, eight.
Hello. - Hello.
So nice that we could come.
My name is Kaja, and I'm from Se og Hør. [celebrity gossip magazine]
Are you invited?
Yes. You have agreed to make
a feature where we get to see what's in your fridge.
You know what? - People want to know!
They do, but this is beneath my dignity.
Right.
I peed a little on your clock.
There is pee on the floor too,
so it'd be nice if you could clean that up.
I think you might have hit the nail on the head here, Calle.
It may be that Olli thinks that's beneath his dignity.
What do you say? - Piss on the clock?
Yes. Definitely. That's beneath my dignity.
I didn't know if you're one of those people who like that sort of thing.
But Kristoffer, are you sure...
It was an amazing act. I have to say that.
No matter how this goes, I have shown that I also have a talent for tap dancing.
Absolutely.
It's tiring in the long run, but,
for those 10-15 seconds, it's top-notch entertainment.
But are you sure that Olli wouldn't tap dance on TV?
It's Christmas, so he might want to prove me wrong now.
Is it beneath your dignity?
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Yes. - Oi!
Oi.
Yes, it...
It was worth it!
Yes, it was.
Leo?
I don't quite understand the direction you chose...
I know that he's from Finland.
They go to the sauna a lot,
but would he dare to be homoerotic,
and at the same time bite something he is allergic to?
It was, in a way, a marzipan dildo that I tried to serve him.
You think it's beneath my dignity to be homoerotic
while I'm eating something I'm allergic to?
But is that the same thing?
For example, if there's a person at the bottom of a staircase who can't walk,
it's not like it's beneath their dignity to walk up those stairs.
No, that's not the reason they wouldn't do it.
"You know what? That's beneath my dignity."
"I'll take the elevator."
That's a bit tricky. - Yes.
Siri, yours is also a bit tricky.
The task is to do something that is beneath Olli's dignity,
so you should perform the action that is beneath his dignity.
So you think it's beneath his dignity to pretend to be
from the press, and ring someone's doorbell?
Is that it?
No. I tried to create an image of something that is beneath Olli's dignity.
Let's not act stupid on purpose, Atle.
Am I the stupid one?
Oh, I'm the stupid one!
I know it's a risky tactic, but I'm at the bottom,
so I have to try everything. - Yes, yes.
So now I'm shaming you. - You think that will help?
I'm not sure, but... - It could be reverse psychology.
Some people like feeling stupid. - "There will be 5 points for her."
I haven't come across that tactic before,
so I don't know if it will work yet. We'll see.
The points will be handed out any moment now.
For example, now.
You're the one who will decide the points,
so you can say that I'm stupid without any consequences,
You're stupid. - Good. Thank you.
You're calling Atle stupid.
I'll take note of that.
In last place, unfortunately, Kristoffer.
It's not "unfortunately". - No, right.
It's fantastic. We have both won from this.
You have shown the Norwegian people how good you are at tap dancing,
and I have shown that I'm even better.
And then...
...it's Leo. You get 2 points.
Solveig gets 3 points.
And then it's between Calle pissing and Se og Hør.
But you called Atle stupid,
so it's 5 points to Siri! - Yes!
Then it looks like this...
It was a very cheap last point, but okay.
And in total today, we can see that the standings are like this.
You're leading by 3 points, Solveig. That's fantastic!
Otherwise it's very close.
You have something to defend now,
before the last task, which is coming now.
On your feet, and up on stage!
We have moved the good Christmas spirit onto the stage, for the last task.
On the table in front of you is what we can call Christmas cards.
Four different cards.
You have to fill in what is missing after the text that is already there.
It's Christmas-related things, and what fits Atle best
gets the most points, or gets points at all.
We have something called 'inside', 'outside', and 'bullseye'.
'Bullseye' is 3 points. Ironically enough.
'Outside' is zero points, and 'inside' is 1 point.
Now you can turn the first card around. - Oh right.
"The most important thing about Christmas dinner for me is that the pork belly is..."
Yes.
Yes?
What does that mean, Solveig?
No... I panicked.
Okay.
You panicked. That tends to go very well.
We'll start with Calle, and keep going down the line.
Let's see...
"The most important thing about Christmas dinner for me is that the pork belly is..."
"Big and juicy, with cracklings, and that it's enough for everyone."
I have written the same as Calle.
"Big and juicy."
And then I crossed out the rest.
That's what I had time for.
Kristoffer?
"The most important thing about Christmas dinner for me is that the pork belly is..."
"replaced with something that tastes better."
"The most important thing about Christmas dinner for me is..."
"that the pork belly is roasted on all sides."
Yes, but it's unpleasant with one un-roasted side.
Yes.
Leo?
"The most important thing about Christmas dinner for me is..."
"...that the pork belly is crispy."
"Can't stand lamb ribs." [another common Christmas dinner dish]
Yes, Atle. You can just hold them up.
Yes, I'll start with Calle.
"Big and juicy".
That's, in and of itself, correct. So you get 1 point for it.
"Juicy". You'll also get 1 point for that.
That it should be replaced with better food is a 'bullseye',
because lamb ribs is what I'd rather have.
So you get 3 for that.
3 points.
"Roasted on all sides".
I have to give 1 point for that too. Since it's technically not wrong.
Are you the only one getting zero points now, Leo?
What?
This was sarcasm.
"Can't stand lamb ribs".
"Can't stand it." - You forgot the quotation marks.
You should have read it while doing this... - "I can't stand lamb ribs".
Right. We'll stick to zero.
And the next one is...
"On Christmas Eve, I always start the day with/by..." [Norwegians mainly celebrate on Christmas Eve]
It's tempting to ask you, Atle, but then you'd reveal the answer.
That's right, Olli. I can't say that now.
Solveig thinks it's about writing the most,
but that's not necessarily...
Okay. - Finished!
We'll start with you, Calle.
"On Christmas Eve, I always start the day by..."
"...running out into the street and shouting: 'Now it's Christmas!'"
Siri.
"On Christmas Eve, I always start the day by evaluating Little Christmas Eve," [23rd December]
"dreading the evening, and practicing smiling."
Kristoffer.
I mostly prefer to treat Christmas Eve as a day of rest.
So I have written: "On Christmas Eve, I always start the day with the evening."
"On Christmas Eve, I always start the day by laughing"
"at 'Dinner for One' from yesterday." [comedy sketch watched on 23rd December]
That was nice.
Self-deprecation? - Leo?
"On Christmas Eve, I always start the day by going to the toilet."
Because your stomach doesn't know it's Christmas Eve, right?
You have routines.
You go to the toilet every morning when you get up,
because you're old.
Yes, yes.
Calle's isn't correct,
but it could very well happen,
so you get 1 point.
It could happen, so you get 1 point for it.
I wish I did it more often.
You get a 'bullseye' on that one, Siri.
Yes, you recognised yourself?
Yes, to a certain extent, I did.
But you still get 'bullseye'.
It was well thought out.
You know what? You were almost too smart for your own good,
so I give you zero for that one. - Really?
What did you write again, Solveig? - I start by laughing at...
Yes, right! It's zero for you too. That's how it was.
I just didn't remember if it was definitely zero, but it definitely was.
Now you're going to get points...
You won't just get points,
you'll get 3 points, because you're completely right.
I start with the toilet. 3 points.
Then it's the last one.
"At the top of my wish list this year, like every year, is..."
That's a tricky one.
There. Finished. - Yes.
Then you can start, Calle.
"At the top of my wish list this year, like every year, is..."
"...definitely not a contribution to the Red Cross."
That was harsh.
"At the top of my wish list this year, like every year, is..."
"...a reference to my wish list from last year."
Kristoffer.
I've been onto it before, but,
"At the top of my wish list this year, like every year, is... bigger clothes."
"At the top of my wish list this year, like every year, is..."
"...another year on the throne." [i.e. in the Taskmaster's chair]
Leo?
"At the top of my wish list this year, like every year, is to eat lamb ribs."
"No more pork belly!!!"
I may appear very cynical and harsh,
but I'm not that harsh, Calle.
I can make a small contribution.
I'll give you zero points for that.
Just because it looks better for me to do that.
It makes me look so bad if I give you points for it.
But you'll get 1 point, Siri,
because there a lot of truth in it.
At my age, you don't want anything.
And, if you want something,
then you won't get it. So that's good.
"Bigger clothes."
Now I'm double-X, so that should be enough.
I'll give you zero for that one.
It's been a few years since I had to up my size.
And I don't know anyone who buys me clothes.
I don't want it either.
Solveig.
Another year on the throne, you'll get 1 point for that.
Wasn't it completely...?
No, I'm saving the 'bullseye' for Leo.
I think he should get 3 points for that one.
Then I'll calculate the points, since there was a lot to keep track of.
Then we'll sum it up down in our seats. Won't we, Atle?
Yes, a lot of good answers.
Are you excited now?
Yes. - A lot of good answers, yes.
A lot of good, and a lot of bad too.
A lot of bad too. - Yes. Let's see.
We'll just get straight to the point.
There's nothing to wait for.
It's a shared last place with 2 points each.
That is, Calle and Solveig.
No, damn. Really? - Yes, really.
Then it's Kristoffer. You get 3 points.
Siri, 4 points. Leo, 5 points. Congratulations!
Here are the points in this round. - That's correct.
And then we'll see who wins today's programme. It is...
Yes! - Solveig Kloppen!
Again! I can't believe it! Fantastic!
Get up here and take all of these expensive and great prizes.
Finally you have won it!
We'll be back next time.
It'll be like Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve at the same time.
At least for these guys, because it'll be the Christmas finale!
See you.
