Welcome to Stormester.
I am the Taskmaster, Lasse Rimmer.
I have invited five of the kingdom's wisest ...
I shouldn’t say wisest ...
... five of the kingdom's sharpest in ... what’s that? -
- 5 of the kingdom’s heads, to solve devilishly simple tasks.
The five heads sit on:
Christian Fuhlendorff.
Lina Rafn.
Nikolaj Stokholm.
Ruben Søltoft.
Julie Ølgaard.
- Welcome to all five. - Thanks.
None of the five know how they have done, -
because they have not seen how the other four have solved the tasks.
But they'll find out tonight.
I am the threefold power united in one person.
I judge and decide it all.
Even if I could do without him, -
- I'm flanked by my personal assistant, Mark Le Fevre.
Mark, what's going on with that Mads Steffensen [radio personality] pirate look?
- Well, that's just a little thing .. - An eye patch.
It might be one of the dear participants, -
- who has tried to take my life.
I have two rules.
You do not harm my assistant.
And if you do, then it's me who does it.
Do you get minus points if you are to blame for it?
It will show up later.
- But what the hell happened? - We'll get to that.
How do the prizes work, Mark?
We have asked a participant to bring one thing with them, a personal possession.
It must be something you absolutely can’t do without.
Which you, in no way, don’t want to win again.
Then you have something to fight for.
- Whose turn is it? - Lina Rafn.
- Again. - What is it?
I love it and have been staring at that picture since 2005 or 2006.
It's the coolest picture in the world ever taken of me.
I die of laughter when I see it.
If I'm in a bad mood, I'm taking that picture.
- When was it taken? - In 2005 or 2006.
We played for Pride, Gay Pride.
Consider you can make things right for yourself.
You look like an ogre.
It is a good picture.
The wild thing is that it’s while you’re playing a slow song.
It's a ballad.
I can understand why you want that picture home again.
Then it can’t be misused by anyone.
But it can end up in the hands of one of the other four.
All five of you are in the game when it comes to the big season prize.
What can you win there?
This is something I would like to do without for a year, -
- because it will please one of you every morning -
- to stand up, look up at the ceiling where you have placed this trophy.
It doesn’t have to hang from the ceiling, -
- as long as you see it as the first thing when you wake up.
It can face your toilet; that’s also an option.
If I go home with that one, -
- it may well be that my wife will bang with the light on.
That was a compliment, Lasse Rimmer.
Thank you.
If you put on a little, she may think it's you.
Yes, the color is there.
I'll take that back, because you give the points.
Our first task ...
... is one I hope Lina Rafn has a hard time with, Mark.
I can’t completely rule that out. It's something with booze and pipes.
It sounds like something she's pretty good at.
No, you've made some kind of drink.
Happy New Year.
"Remove the ping-pong ball from the tube."
"Remove the ping-pong ball." Where's the ping-pong ball?
- Down here? - Yes.
"The pipe must not be moved."
“Fastest wins. Time starts now.”
Lina Rafn from Infernal, it's a simple task.
A ping-pong ball in a perforated PVC pipe -
- in the middle of a tequila sunrise tasting. We've all been there.
After drinking a tequila sunrise, -
- you tend to misunderstand tasks.
Now don’t reveal too much.
- You don’t stand like this afterwards. - I always stand like that.
Just to emphasize the value of the prize we are playing for.
Even when Christian tried, -
- he didn’t manage to look as unflattering as you did.
Lina, how about we get it over with?
I think. I read two words in the task that weren’t there, -
- and you can figure out which ones.
- Mark knows that. - It appears super clear.
- Shall we do it? - Okay.
"The pipe must not be moved." But the ground can be good, right?
- Shall we stop the time? - Yes.
I smile and hope for the best.
Why’s that?
- Wasn’t that what you did? - No.
- See you. - Hi, hey, Lina Rafn.
I lie down flat. I'm a giant fool.
- You lie down flat. - Yes.
You don’t have to, because we can all see what is happening.
It's something with a pipe that must not be moved, -
- which is being moved a lot.
Mark can see that, and he doesn’t even have any depth vision.
- You know what that means, Lina? - Yes, I don’t get any points.
Mark, where are we going now?
We're going to see a clip that some will consider entertainment, -
- but it is actually evidence.
An insane man's attack on an innocent eye. Ruben Søltoft.
That’s great. There's a hole.
No ...
How annoying.
It must then go fast then.
Well hell. We don’t get that.
I'm just taking a look.
Can I get you to hold the tube?
Oh no, my eye!
Did it come up?
Did the ball come up?
You managed to start a fire alarm with a powder extinguisher.
- Does that mean points? - No it doesn’t.
- Damn, it's his fault. - Right into the eye.
Directly into the eye of Mark Le Fevre.
The only question I have ...
It's been eight weeks since you played with PVC pipes and powder extinguishers.
In the meantime, we’ve made five programs of Stormester, -
- where you didn’t have a patch on the eye. Now you have a patch on the eye tonight.
Do you do that to get pity?
Does it work?
Not really. I think you should take the patch off.
It does not bode well for you to harm my assistant.
But did the ball come out?
- Did the ball come out, Mark? - No.
Wasn't that the ball you got in the eye?
No, it was almost the entire contents of a powder extinguisher.
Mark Le Fevre, who are we going to see now?
- Christian Fuhlendorff. - Yes, please.
I just have to ... can I get you to turn off the camera?
I need to use something else that can get down there.
No, seriously. That’s not allowed.
Can't I get you to go out?
And you turned off the camera?
There are families with children watching, Christian.
Yes. Just come in again. It wasn’t long enough either.
- I'm just going for a walk again. - Okay.
It doesn’t say anything about not destroying it.
Fortunately, these are not toxic fumes.
No, it's PVC. It's rather safe.
Like that. There were no other ways to do it.
We choose to get the ball not the easy way ...
... but the hard way.
It seemed like your threat of pipe-to-pipe action -
- was about getting the witness out of the way, -
- so you could find out if the pipe could be lifted.
If I could tear it off, but it stood firm.
It takes a little finesse to melt through thick plastic -
- and avoid melting the thin plastic just inside.
It succeeded, and it’s within the rules.
You had to destroy the pipe. It didn’t say that you couldn’t.
Can we see a solution that is less destructive?
I made a video with two.
One is expected to be destructive, but is not.
And the other doesn’t immediately have the muscle capacity.
Julie and Stokholm.
There are people on this program who are taller than me.
They have a clear advantage.
I need a ladder. Get up and down.
- Of course. - Thank you.
As a kid, I used to be bad at something like that, baby birthdays.
What kind of children's birthdays have you been to?
Only my own.
- Can it smoke? - No.
He could have said that.
- Can you see it? - Yes, I've spotted it.
How weak-minded.
Mark, there are holes in it. I need some tape.
Mark, we've already lost 1 minute.
- Well? - Hurry. Duct tape.
It's important, it's duct. Not all that other nonsense.
Maybe one should stop.
It's starting to look like a Christmas present I made in shaping, -
- which I gave to my parents in '97. They still have it.
We can start by pouring a little in.
Then we reach the first hole.
Alright, thanks.
I also have to ask for a pitcher of water.
It is light and elegant. Damn good.
Can you do me the favor of starting to fill it?
- In what? - The tube.
Well, then it just needs some power.
- Ready? - Completely.
Where the hell is it going?
- That's damn good, Mark. - Thanks.
Whoops, it's a little leaky here.
How far did it go, if you can point?
I think it got here.
Now it's here ... and here.
- Ouch, damn it. - Are you okay?
I ask you all five now, by show of hands, -
- how many have a past as a professional sailor?
That is, Nikolaj Stokholm, if you are on board a boat, -
- which leaks, then you shout ...
"Are there straws?!"
And cocktail umbrellas. It saves us all.
Then Titanic would not have been a movie now.
You then need to know more about fluid and hole dynamics.
Yes, but I'm not the type to use my experience.
May we get some points?
There are 5 points for Julie Ølgaard.
She did it in 3 minutes 44 seconds.
That's fast.
Christian Fuhlendorff gets 4 points with 14 minutes 7 seconds.
Then there are 0 points for Lina, Stokholm, and Ruben.
- Is there a comforter? - A comforter?
What task do you have for me now?
If you start by closing your eyes and concentrating, you will bring it out.
The one with the headlines.
- Is that the one with the headlines? - God, you’re sharp.
- Hi, Mark. - Hi, Christian.
- Those are nice flowers, huh? - Thanks.
"Create the best headline. You have eight weeks."
The best headline ...
Exciting.
Julie, you were asked to make a headline and had eight weeks.
So time has not been lacking. So what has it become?
If you're thinking of the best headline, -
you could imagine in the whole fucking world, then this is it, and it speaks for itself.
So let's just see. That's the best headline.
“Julie Ølgaard's first achievement as Miss World: Ensures world peace, ensures 100% sustainable environment & eradicates famine”
That is the best headline. That's what it sounded like.
I go to news kiosks. I don’t remember seeing that one.
That’s because you’re not looking properly.
It's the best headline in a world I have not visited yet.
Mark, who are we going to see now?
- I think we should take Lina. - I’d also like to do that.
I’m pleased.
I'm a very real person, -
- so I take tasks literally and have created the best headline.
It says here. [“The best headline”]
It's, in turn, cut out of real headlines that newspapers have written about me.
[“Lina does not have pain in the ass”]
It's made up, so you DO have a sore ass.
Often when you hand out points, yes.
OK, fair enough.
“Lina Rafn: I steal from my child”
“Infernal: We bang everywhere”
“Lina Rafn: Now a porn producer”
“Lina Rafn bares her butt at festival”
“Lina Rafn: I’m wild in bed”
I didn’t say that. I didn’t want to sit on me, that I was boring, -
- but it's not the same.
Real, real, wild headlines from real, real newspapers ...
... became the best headline.
Mark Le Fevre, who are we going to see now?
- Fuhlendorff, if you like. - Then I like.
I'm an teetotaler,
- and when I relapse, it always creates headlines.
Among other things. The headline’s here.
"Admits relapse with cannabis abuse."
"Famous Danish comedian ..."
It annoys me that they don’t just use my name.
"... was drug-free for five years and fell back into abuse."
So now I want to create a headline here in the studio ...
... for you here, live.
Isn’t that where one would say it’s an intervention?
No, not at all. I can easily do that.
Is it a well-known Danish comedian who drinks a beer, Mark Le Fevre?
I'm at a loss for words.
It's not a Super Light? [an alcohol-free brand]
That way, I've just created a headline, -
- and I almost think we should celebrate.
Then I'm back. I missed it!
Fuhlendorff ... Stop yourself!
It's a high price.
Just wait, and a headline will appear.
I could see a corner of the label. It was Super Light.
No, it was a real beer.
What was it? You measure and count.
It was a Super Light. I can’t feel anything.
It WAS a Super Light.
I'm so relieved now.
If you were drunk now, you wouldn’t have the ability to joke about it.
It may be that the headlines are already on the online media.
Super Light or not, then it’s a high price to pay.
I sacrifice my sobriety.
Mark Le Fevre, we're missing two. Who are we going to see?
Nikolaj Stokholm.
Breaking. Miss World saves the world.
She says "I'm still struggling with Lina Rafn, -
- she steals from her child.
But she has lost to a well-known Danish comedian, -
- who drinks Super Light; it's not Danish at all."
He's created it right now.
Terribly long headline.
But it's breaking.
For a moment, I wonder if you've read the task -
- as "the longest headline"?
It’s a fine line between article and headline.
It's great clickbait.
I know several of those things are true. For example, I’ve seen it with Super Light, -
- so it's breaking, happened now and here, and you've made the headline.
The question is, is it the best?
Then I know well who we are missing. The curly top over there.
This is Ruben Søltoft.
I am obviously the only one who made a real headline.
It was hard to find a local newspaper that cared, but ...
[“Ruben Søltoft wins hot dog competition at nursing home”]
That must get 3 points.
Ruben, before you tell the story, I want to focus on the photo.
You can see the competitive mentality in your eyes.
You fill your mouth with a hot dog -
- next to a handsome older gentleman with a knife and fork.
Shut up, it's fun.
I've always dreamed of winning a hot dog competition and thought, -
- that it was easiest if the competitors didn’t have teeth.
Did you call the local newspaper and say "now you must hear"?
I say "I decide the headline, you do the rest".
It was a competition at home.
Unfold the newspaper so we can see where we are.
We are in Himmerland, Rold Skov Bladet.
- It will be sent out to four. - Yes.
Shut up, that’s awesome.
The journalist reveals that the other participants were a bit pressured, -
- because they had just gotten a shooting star before we started.
Ruben ...
Should you do it anyway and think "I can use that as a headline"?
Did you arrange a hot dog competition -
- to get a story?
Of course I arranged it. It's from last week.
Shut up, that’s awesome.
Give him the 3 points, and let's move on.
3 points ... plus 2.
The only headline that will top that on shock effect -
- will be "Ruben Søltoft becomes No. 2 in the hot dog competition ...
... after the others had eaten shooting stars".
I hope it's an annual event,
- and that you return and defend your title.
- Won’t you do that? - Yes.
Ruben! ...
Thanks!
Ruben Søltoft, you created a real event and headline.
That alone places him at the top. 5 points for Ruben.
I also reward the authenticity of cutting together -
- of absurd headlines like "Lina Rafn has no pain in the ass".
That’s kind of fake news. Lina Rafn, 4 points.
Whoa, whoa ...
Is it Lina Rafn who was about to get a sore ass?
- Terrible ass pain. - See, 4 points.
How should we place the remaining ones?
Headlines were created on the stage, and one could be the best ...
- Worldwide. - I'm a little in doubt there.
It's a monumental effort to decide to drink -
at a time when the eyes of the press are on someone,
- but I also like a headline created on the stage, -
- and I like your heart, because you gave me some rainforest last week.
It has blossomed in my heart.
So I give you a shared third place, 3 points for each.
Mark Le Fevre, give us an overview of the overall score.
Julie Ølgaard leads.
But still a close race in the overall score.
I would like a task -
- which combines invention, mechanical equipment, and nuts.
We have a task where you have to build a machine -
- and throw a coconut.
If you didn’t know better, you would think, -
- that we had planned that presentation.
- Hi ... What do I do now? - Read the letter.
Well, it's getting busy today.
“Make the best coconut throwing machine. You have 20 minutes and one attempt."
“Farthest thrown coconut wins."
“Time starts now."
A coconut throwing machine.
What do you have in hand? Well, the measuring tape.
I'm ready to measure.
All right. Cool.
I thought exactly like Stokholm: “cool”.
It's the possibility of letting your inner inventor unfold -
- and maybe also the child inside.
I am looking forward to see -
- what amazing machines they made.
It was so cold that I said “cool” as I walked into the shed.
You think "I could just smear myself into something".
I can just get some heat inside the shed.
Shouldn’t we start with the one who most resembles an engineer?
- Nikolaj Stokholm. - Now.
- Did you find good things? - Yes.
It's a swing. I can't use that for shit.
This ...
... is good, really good.
Shut up, it's funny, Mark.
Yes, it's well thought out, Lasse.
- Was that an attempt? - No. It just fell off.
- Should I measure? - No.
This stick is so elastic that it is absolutely ingenious ...
... as a catapult.
It just needs to be so far down that it doesn’t flick up.
Then we just tie a good old-fashioned pole stick.
Then we must make sure that it doesn’t fall back.
A racket.
- Do you just want to hold the racket? - Yes, please.
Can you see it for yourself?
I have been able to do that almost from the start.
I guess Elon Musk is calling for this.
He's watching.
Send a Tesla to space. Now you need to see a coconut.
Fire!
It was much more shallow than I expected.
Shut up, I was having fun.
I really liked it, but a question arises:
Does Stokholm's machine live up to the definition of a machine?
I have the definition from the dictionary. A machine is -
"anything mechanical, electrical, or electronic,
often a larger construction composed of several parts, -
- each of which has a specific function -
and together perform a specialized task.”
It describes his machine almost perfectly.
A larger mechanical structure composed of several parts, -
- each having a specialized function.
I can’t imagine a more machine-like machine -
- than the one you built here. How far did it throw?
So far, that, if I took my glasses off, I could just glimpse it.
That’s not saying much, Stokholm.
It must then count somewhere.
- So much construction for 4.60 meters. - Wonderful.
Who are we going to see now?
Three people who have apparently never heard or read -
- the definition of a machine: Lina, Julie, and Ruben.
- Can I be a caster? - It's up to Taskmaster Lasse.
I often throw things.
- But are you a machine? - Yes.
Throwing means like flying.
It must be in the air, and where it hits, you have thrown it.
Yes, and rolling it a little, I count it.
I was out to take a garden hose and shoot it with water.
- You're a machine. - I'm a machine.
We have often talked about that down in Fitness World.
No, we were going to a machine in Fitness World.
Now the dilemma is whether I'm better at throwing with my own arm -
- or shooting with a racket?
My big question is whether you are a machine.
There is probably someone who will think so.
A piece of coconut throwing machine.
- Are you a thrower? - I can promise you that.
Make a coconut tossing machine, I have done.
One attempt. Longest wins.
That's probably it.
It’s up to Taskmaster Lasse.
Let's go out here.
- The machine can throw far? - Yes.
The machine must watch out for horses coming.
Bye bye ... Yes, it’s me.
- Could the horse recognize you? - Yes.
I have put on my machine glove, so I am a machine.
I'm not sure it's going to get much farther from standing up here.
Well, a little longer. And if I stand up there, it's going even farther.
- Are we ready? - Yes.
Then you have to enter the trotting track.
Don’t cheat, Mark.
Shut up, it went a long way.
- I'm ready to measure. - The machine is putting the moves.
It's a damn nice throw.
Fuck, it's heavy.
A piece of throwing machine.
Knuckles.
Boom, see you.
Throwing machine ...
Why do you think you are machines?
A throwing machine, you saw that then ...
To avoid inventing for hell.
I'm pretty sure, sorry Nikolaj, -
- that this throwing machine throws a lot better than Nikolaj’s.
Ergo, I made the right choice.
- Time will tell. - It was a great throw.
It's very simple, because we've looked at the definition of machine.
Are they machines, Mark? What else is in the dictionary?
There's a small loophole,
for in a figurative sense a machine can be understood as a person, -
- who works efficiently, automatically, and predictably, like a machine.
Thanks.
It is at least predictable that some people will think, -
- "the easiest thing is not to build a machine".
Even with loopholes, I have written a task, -
- that says "make a machine".
You haven’t come out of an egg that your parents made, -
- so it is your parents who have solved the task.
That’s silly. We helped make ourselves.
I hope not.
I'm sorry to say that.
These three are disqualified for not complying with the rules.
There is nothing else to do.
- It's really fantastic ... - Please, just shut up.
... that I, as a common man, can get on the scoreboard, -
- because there are just three going into the corner. That's damn wonderful.
Nikolaj Stokholm, this is how it feels to play a football match after 21 red cards.
A nice feeling.
But let’s see. We are missing a single participant.
I have high expectations for Christian Fuhlendorff.
He usually has a wrinkled head.
You can have fun ... He is much better than the others.
Then we’ll take this. I don’t know if it works.
I think I need to use this.
I go straight up where there is dry weather.
I'm an old role player and have built a lot of things with something like this.
I'm just standing here waiting.
- Do you want to get up here in dry weather? - Gladly.
If I put it there. Can you see it?
I get an idea of ​​what you're trying to do.
I immediately think the others are doing something really smart.
They must have been lurking something I have not seen.
If it now holds it, and I pull it back, -
- then maybe I can shoot it off.
If you could get it over there and over there.
Is your wife not generally very proud of you?
- No. - Now.
She doesn’t think I'm present enough,
- because I always have ideas for shooting coconuts.
It can also fail completely now.
- Shall we try? - Do it.
May I borrow your hat?
That was the best I could come up with.
An impressive achievement.
- Can we get some numbers? - With pleasure.
Fuhlendorff gets his nut thrown 44.80 meters.
Just for a little comparison, -
- that’s almost 10 times as far as Stokholm with his little nut.
But for Stokholm's luck, there are three disqualifications, -
- so Stokholm gets away with 4 points.
That’s not so bad.
Stokholm, when I wrote the task, -
I imagined something in my head,
- that was really close to the machine you were working on.
So you and I had thrown the nut the same disappointing meters -
- and been just as happy with the result.
Shall we look at the overall score?
Christian Fuhlendorff in the lead.
I love being painted, Mark Le Fevre.
There is nothing that emphasizes a person's importance and significance -
- like having a portrait painted.
Do you know what kind of task I am aiming for?
Yes, now I know.
- Shall we see it? - Yes.
Hooray.
Canned food?
Cool cool.
"Make the best portrait of the Taskmaster."
"Only paint and brushes may touch easel and canvas."
"Only paint and brushes may touch ... easel and canvas."
"You have to stand behind the red rope while you paint."
"The rope must not be moved."
Well, what are we into?
- Questions? - No.
You have been given a task that is about painting me from a long distance.
You have to work with long brushes or great creativity.
I'm excited to see how you guys solve it.
Mark, who should we see first?
You can get Stokholm, Lina, and Julie at the same time.
Yes, please.
"Only paint and brushes may touch the easel."
- You’re welcome to wear that. - Then I will.
- Can you pick up your friend, the broom? - Yes.
And duct tape ... and a stick.
I need two minutes to figure out -
- what I’ll do in this precarious situation.
I think he's wearing a black suit.
It was there, for example.
That was the hair.
I can’t reach.
I think he's blue.
Lots of blue. Big, blue hair.
Now it's going well. We have to stick it on.
At the very bottom.
You have longer arms than me. I control your arms.
You just control.
Yes, down. It's going to be good.
And then up.
There was a head.
It is mind-numbing and annoying.
It was beautiful.
And here comes ... I don’t know what is green.
Everyone can see that it is the Taskmaster.
"You have to stand behind the red rope while you paint."
Mark, will you get the easel for me?
Gladly.
Maybe I should have thought of that a little earlier.
Then we give him hair. Now I have no more patience.
Great. Can you feel it?
That was the icing on the cake, I can feel it.
- He's got a bloody nose. - Oh yeah.
It looks like damn Lasse Rimmer. Won't you say that?
- It's then 1:1. - Uh ... yes ...
- Mark, do we have the three pictures? - Yes, I'm ready.
That’s nice.
I'm actually in doubt about ... Well, it's at the bottom.
You were in doubt as to who had painted what?
We can see Julie’s painted with a very long brush.
Long brush and Mark's arms.
Mark’s and my arms. I controlled Mark’s arms.
- It was a collaboration. - We were pretty close for a moment.
Julie, did you run out of time?
- or did you think "it's so much body he has"?
There is no contact between head and ...
It's there. It's just a thin, small line, because I see you ...
... like a tiny stick.
You couldn’t even keep a straight face while you said that.
There is nothing small ...
Yes, you're a nice man, man. I see you exactly like that.
I can recognize human traits.
Let's see what Lina has painted.
- I don’t know ... - It's impressionism.
There's actually a face. The white.
The little line could well be the nose.
Christian is an artist and draftsman; you have to listen to him.
And the green is the eye. It's actually pretty wild.
As if you are standing with a microphone from the side.
It’s very abstract.
You really have to close your eyes, actually close them, -
- and imagine Lasse.
Portrait or not, I really like the picture.
I do, too. There is aesthetic value.
There’s something maritime about it.
May I just ... It might be good you can’t see it.
If it's the hair, the forehead goes there.
The yellow is the eye.
God, that's right.
You're right.
Then you stand with the microphone.
Let's look at Nikolaj’s.
And it’s with the easel right in front of him.
- We have a problem. - What?
Did you notice how he moved the canvas?
He asked you to do it?
- Do you remember the task? - Now I get it.
"Only paint and brushes may touch canvas and easel."
What did you use to move the canvas and easel?
Yes, I don’t know what to call him.
Are your hands touching canvas and easel, brushes or paint?
No.
I'm afraid you broke the rules, Nikolaj, -
so we have to withdraw your painting from the competition,
- although I like myself in profile -
- with a blue beard and flaming red hair.
Lasse, that's so nice of you. Out with it.
Remove it; I don’t want to look at it.
I can’t bear to look at the ugly painting.
Mark Le Fevre, who are we going to see now?
This is the artist C. Fuhlendorff.
That's great, I think.
Do not touch the easel.
So.
Then I have to paint the Taskmaster.
I need to get a picture of him.
Okay ...
Have you drawn a lot?
I actually never really drew.
Very impressive when it's the first time you ever ...
Yes, have touched a brush.
Just a moment.
More colors are needed.
Is it done?
I withdraw from the competition. It's too good. So I’ll just touch it.
Art is not something that has to be in a competition.
Look now.
But that’s what the work is.
Art.
God, how insane.
The real work of art is what lies on the ground.
I sprayed on the canvas and knocked it down, -
- so it's recoil art.
You have the opportunity to choose between two works.
Can we see just the two?
If you notice it, you can see ...
They must be seen together.
I haven’t thought before about how beautiful it really is.
Well, the work is both images now.
Such is the art world.
There are a couple of us business types in suits, -
and if Michael Kvium [artist] tries to discard a canvas and say, -
"this should never be varnished", -
- then we sneak out into the backyard and take the canvas and say, -
- "it's in the competition anyway".
- Okay, then I have to live with it. - Exactly.
The last participant is Ruben Søltoft.
Isn’t he the one I have occasionally asked extra -
- to make things a little more fun?
No ... yes, and it might have happened a little bit again. Pardon.
"Smile at the camera every 30 seconds with increasing enthusiasm."
It seems like you couldn’t remember to smile at the camera.
I did it in advance.
Can we see what came out of the artistic effort?
Of course.
We are in the same situation, because there are basically two works.
May I see the second work?
Which of the two works do you want to be represented by?
This one over here.
- Is that Mark Le Fevre on the canvas? - Yes.
Then it participates in the competition.
You have hit the beard very well.
The closest we come to a human portrait, -
- is Ruben Søltoft's Mark Le Fevre canvas.
Christian Fuhlendorff, you get 4 points.
And because you helped me see the profile face, -
- Lina Rafn gets 3 points.
It’s on a par with Julie Ølgaard's efforts, -
- so you share third place and get 3 points each.
How beautiful.
Before we embark on the final task, -
- I have a simple question, Mark Le Fevre: What is the preliminary score?
Christian Fuhlendorff leads with 16 points.
That’s nice.
- You have the coolest picture in the world. - Yes!
The only thing that stands between you and the beautiful portrait of Lina Rafn -
- is that you don’t get disqualified in the last task.
It's a 50/50.
We’ll see how things go.
And the last task takes place on stage now.
Then it's time for the grand finale, final task.
Mark, you're in charge of the task.
Who would you like to read it to us tonight?
I would like Christian Fuhlendorff to read.
Why not?
- I hope it's short. - So do we.
"Get up ... after 100 seconds."
You must sit on your hands like this.
- So we can’t look at our watch. - Right.
In a little while I will whistle, and you will be seated.
Then you must get up when you feel with your inner clock, -
- that 100 seconds have passed.
- Is the task understood? - Yes.
Are you there, Ruben?
How old are you? 27, 28 ...
25? You look like 21, but ...
Lina Rafn, where are you in terms of age?
- 41. - Are you? No you’re not!
Stokholm, how long do you think it's been?
A quick guess, what could it be?
Nikolaj Stokholm ...
Do you think 40 seconds have passed?
Or where are we here? 57?
32, it seems a little low.
Some of you are younger than the others.
Can any of you remember TV’s Pause Fish? [DR-TV used to show aquarium fish between programs; example on YouTube ‘DR Pausefisk’]
How many fish were on display when there was Pause Fish?
14 ... 22 ...
What is the highest number of fish you have seen on screen at one time?
13, 9, 8, 75 ... How many fish have you seen?
At one point it was 70, -
- but then an error occurred, then we were down to 57.
It jumped all the time, so a mistake had been made.
75, 65. Then I can never remember if we were down to 32.
Boom!
Do you think 100 seconds have passed now?
We have three left sitting.
Stokholm is on his feet.
When you feel that 100 seconds have passed, you have to get up.
- What's 100 minus 38, Lasse? - 62.
Lina, how long do you play when you are out performing?
75 minutes.
And Lina is on her feet.
Sit down again.
Who did best in this task?
Julie Ølgaard hit it on the second.
It's 12 years of boxing.
Julie hits 100 seconds spot on. That's 5 points.
Christian Fuhlendorff gets up right afterwards. 4 points for Christian.
Nikolaj Stokholm is the third to rise, 3 points.
- Who is it then, Ruben Søltoft? - You pull home 2 great points.
And after 168 seconds ...
You must feel that all men stay in bed for a really long time.
Lina Rafn, a single point.
I can almost figure one thing out.
The position has not changed at the top.
Who won tonight?
He has already risen. Congratulations, Christian Fuhlendorff.
For the second week in a row, Christian Fuhlendorff is the winner, -
- this time of an unflattering image -
- of the patient Lina Rafn.
If we've learned one thing this week,
as Sven-Ole Thorsen said in Gladiator, -
- “Those who are about to die choose to get the ball, not the easy way, but the hard way".
Thanks for tonight.
