Ditte!
It's a distraction.
A little regret...
What the fuck?
It's harder than I thought.
Then they can learn it!
Good evening and welcome -
- to the Stormester New Year's gala for the first time ever.
Five stars will try to shine the brightest.
But they only have this one chance -
- to impress with their quirkiest ideas.
One of them will have a particularly good start to the year.
Will it be Clement Kjersgaard? [presenter and screenwriter]
Or will it be Ditte Hansen? [actor, comedian and screenwriter]
Could it be Fredrik Trudslev? [YouTuber]
Or perhaps Liam O'Connor? [rapper and presenter]
Or will the victory tonight be for Rosa Kildahl? [chef and lecturer]
How nice it is to see you.
Lasse Rimmer, if you were Charles Xavier -
- and had to assemble a team of five superheroes, would it be us?
No.
I feel more like a man who is trying to extinguish a house fire,
and here are the people who show up with buckets.
You have traveled heavily. [brought something with you] Is it Rosa or Liam?
It is me.
I looked incorrectly in my calendar -
- and thought I was supposed to go to "Løvernes Hule" [The Lion's Den] today.
I have brought something for you, Lasse, that I have called...
...Liam's New Year package.
My son has helped with the design.
It contains some things.
There can't be a party without a so-called disco straw...
...and a kind of fitness card. [both items used to take cocaine]
The fitness card has something to do with New Year's resolutions.
The next thing is three sharp medications -
- that in popular speech is called the Bangkok set.
Last but not least -
- you can't say New Year's Eve without also mentioning a silly hat.
So I have designed a hat.
It guarantees that you are the party's center of attention for at least 45 seconds.
Unfortunately, it pulls the odds toward -
- sitting in the emergency room and explaining your situation.
Mark, I just need a mannequin.
I thought you might need it for New Year's.
I feel that I haven't lived until now.
Yeah, exactly.
Thank you for that.
It was nothing.
You have indeed been in my house.
You have solved tasks and have not seen the solutions.
The one who performs best tonight -
- can walk away with a trophy to celebrate it.
Nothing less than this...
No, it is beautiful.
...thumbs up.
Mark, first task.
We start gently with something that is easy to understand.
We can do just that.
Five lovely participants.
So let's take a task where the number five is very significant.
Ding-dong.
- Hi, Mark. - Hi, Ditte.
Hello, Rosa.
- Gentlemen. - Hi, Clement.
Hi, Liam.
It is a sparkler. I love them.
- How are you? - I'm fine.
Your body language says something different.
I suffer from paranoia, so I shouldn't have said yes.
- Is it for me? - Yes.
"Say the most different words with five letters."
"Every time you say a word with over or under five letters..."
"...you lose a word from your total score."
"The time starts when Mark lits the sparkler."
"Your time ends when the sparkler goes out."
- When do you light the sparkler? - It could be now.
- Can't you wait? - What do we need to achieve?
- Oh dear. - Enjoy yourself.
Words must be said with exactly five letters.
All other words deducted. Where do we start?
This was the first task you had to solve -
- and thus my first meeting with you.
Liam, whom I have always considered as a hardcore gangster type...
I really enjoyed seeing how flabbergasted you became -
- at the sight of me and a sparkler.
That's where we start, but we also need to see Clement and Ditte.
Here you go.
Ditte. Meant.
Always. Past tense.
Rooms. The path. The way. The street.
Chairs. Mountain. Crown.
Cast. Eat.
In front.
Same. Lamb.
Tame. Comb.
Pens. Coil. Slop. Trees.
The word. Order.
Shines. Sneezes.
Bonnet. Horror.
The moon. The sun. Venus. Earth.
Jump. Dance.
Dogs. Cats.
Catch. Tongs. Many. Songs.
Long. Scared. Bars. Go.
Blank.
Burns.
And time.
A form of psychological portrait of oneself.
I wish I could say it was a pleasure, but...
See you.
Ditte, you had practiced that.
Excuse me...
I thought you were a rapper.
No, Liam is a comedian now.
Oh well. Sorry.
- And then you completely lose... - Then it's over with the other.
You know it's serious when Liam counts on his fingers.
Then we know something is at stake.
I'm going home now.
Wait a moment. We just started, Liam.
It will get worse.
We don't know that.
We know that we are on quite different journeys.
We're going out into space.
The Sun, the Moon, and Venus over at Clement.
Who performed best when it came to words with five letters?
Everything went so well. No-one made mistakes.
Liam gets 10 words, Clement gets 18 words.
And Ditte, you get to rhyme your way to 20 different words.
There are bonus points for the variation, right?
If you just replace one consonant...
That wasn't the task.
You say that this could constitute a sort of psychological portrait -
- if you look at which words one chooses under pressure
I'm not going to start with a deep psychological analysis of you.
But I have asked a professional psychologist to do it.
Dare to find out: who am I?
Mark, what did the psychologist say?
Clement, we can start with you.
"You are closely connected with the physical world -"
"- and appreciate the concrete and familiar."
I've always said it.
It should be on your gravestone: "I've always said it."
"You have a natural curiosity about both the Earth and the universe."
"Which could indicate an openness to science, nature, and something spiritual."
"But in a practical way."
There is a red thread in this program.
I have laid trails for a later task solution.
- Oh, how annoying. - Can you feel it?
- You have said cosmic, concrete... - Now I’m counting like Liam.
I have laid a trail to something that we will come back to.
Well, you can only look forward to that.
Wow, you are so used to being a program host.
We have hired a professional psychologist.
It's not just Clement.
We can also take you, Ditte.
The following is said:
"You are a creative person who also thinks in patterns and rhythms."
"You value stability -"
"- and greatly appreciate relationships where things remain stable."
"The analysis is based on words like mange, vange, tange, bange, lange." [many, plank, pliers, afraid, long]
- And then we have Liam. - Just skip that.
You shouldn't miss out, Liam.
"You are very action-oriented and thrive on physical activity."
"But you also have a social and caring side."
"Especially with your choice of words for pets."
"Which indicates a friendly personality -"
that doesn't seem to be scary to most."
Not at all.
We are getting to know the participants.
Shouldn't we have more suggestions for words of exactly five letters?
- We could skip to you, Fredrik. - We could just do that.
Yep.
That was EXACTLY five letters...
Thanks.
Fucked.
No, fuck. That was not fuck.
Rumba.
Morten.
Oh, how embarrassing.
Embarrassing.
Are you thinking about words, or are you just counting your fingers?
What?
No, shit. Fuck.
Pussy.
You just managed to get 'pussy'.
I couldn't think of anything else.
I'm leaving, Mark.
- Impressive. - Thanks.
Once you've had pussy [fisse], it's just piss [tisse], kiss [bisse], and so on...
I didn't have any more time.
It was a family show until 30 seconds ago.
It's only below the belt. Pussy and rumba.
Yes, we occasionally talk about that.
We've actually hired a professional psychologist -
- to not analyze your choice of words, Fredrik.
I think it would be a waste of money.
What happened here?
I don't quite understand it myself either.
I simply panicked.
Where did Fredrik place himself?
Fredrik, you manage to say...
...pussy.
If you add it to all the other words with five letters -
it actually becomes...
...two words.
But there's just this -
- there are also 19 words with more or fewer letters.
That gives a result of minus 17.
What can I say?
Mark, sometimes we save the most skilled participant for last.
And we only have one left.
We have seen the rapper, the TV host, and the actor give it a try.
All professions who have words in their power.
But hold on tight, because now we're going to Rosa.
Tomato.
Lions.
Roses. The sun.
Yes, then I just need the last one.
It could be something, that starts with banana.
That was five.
Should I continue? - Very gladly.
Ants.
It’s actually very nice, the thing about plural.
Snorts. And burps. No, sorry. I didn't say that. I said...
I can't quite think of more.
I am not stressed, but...
- You don't seem stressed. - No.
Because I have kind of reached the goal. Right?
As many as possible.
Well, okay. Balls.
Freeze. Cakes.
Cream.
Yes. Beetle.
I personally feel, the task is solved.
And it went out. Thanks for now.
Did you read the whole task?
I can't remember it clearly.
But I focused on five words with five letters.
So I thought it wasn't necessary to keep going and going.
It's a sad misunderstanding in a task that is about keeping going.
How did it go for Rosa?
Quite impressive. Ditte has 20 words.
And Rosa, you said 22 words with exactly five letters.
Yes.
You also said...
...57 words with exactly...
You ended up with 57 words with exactly not five letters.
That gives you a result of minus 25.
It's better than Fredrik, right?
- What did I have? - You had rumba and pussy.
And have thus done better.
- Seriously? - Yes.
How do the points distribute?
There is 1 point for Rosa, 2 for Fredrik -
- 3 for Liam, 4 for Clement, and 5 points for Ditte Hansen.
What a team to assemble.
Let's turn it up and see how excellently they think.
We have a task where we test the top level. But also the bottom level.
For genius things and such you test with tape, of course.
Well...
Hi.
Hello.
A kind of fly paper.
Is it dangerous?
Ding-dong.
"Use this roll of tape for something ingenious."
Now I am going to win.
I can just as well say that.
"Most ingenious use of the roll of tape gets 5 points."
"Least ingenious use of the roll of tape gets 4 points."
"No-one else gets points."
- "You have 20 minutes." - "Your time starts now."
I can either make something fucking ingenious that gives 5 points -
- or something crap that gives 4 points.
We are only interested in the poles.
Most and least ingenious.
There are only points for two participants.
Or as Fredrik expressed it:
"Either something ingenious or something fucking crap."
That one must perform.
Where do we start, Mark?
With fucking crap.
What the hell should I do?
The least ingenious would be to waste the tape.
I think I will make a garland.
Can you hold this?
I get a new idea.
I stick food on it.
Then you can just grab some.
How many meters are there?
- Oh no! - I hope you're a little hungry.
- Let me know if you get a burn. - There's a bit of friction.
I think this could be quite ingenious.
Damn, so much tape.
Hey!
Isn't it less ingenious to stop halfway?
- I think so. - Excellent.
The most unfinished product.
"Stormester..."
Has your career developed exactly as you thought?
No.
In the beginning there were women and parties.
Now it's you and tape.
- Happy New Year. - Likewise.
Did you expect that you would spend the beginning of your 2025 -
- unravelling tape for rolling cameras?
No, I slowly regret that I said yes.
You declare that you are going for the least ingenious solution.
I think so too. That was just ridiculous.
Fredrik, when you formulate your ambition, it occurs to me:
You think this is quite an ingenious solution.
Yes, in relation to the fact we only have tape available.
I have 20 minutes to make something that should hopefully work.
Hang up some tape, then I thought: "We are sitting here at a desk."
Then one can sit and work, and...
It's not entirely stupid.
No, it's not stupid.
But he's not trying to make the least ingenious. That's mine.
Which ingenious or downright non- ingenious solutions shall we see now?
We will experience Ditte unfold a very special talent.
But we will certainly also see Rosa handle a darn crazy leaf-blower -
- in slowmo.
There are knitting needles down here.
These are my things.
So I think that I... knit.
- With tape? - Yes.
I could build a house of cards and tape it together so it doesn't fall.
It is sticky as hell.
Fuck, it is stupid.
Jeez Louise!
Now I start knitting. I actually believe in it.
I'm spending way too long on this crap.
Oh, it's coming along.
Wow. I knit as fast as I can.
This experiment...
Fuck, it is hard.
Are you okay, Ditte?
♪ A little regret, a little regret ♪
♪ You've probably had with this knitting. ♪
Now it's going fast.
Imagine a sweater in this. Honestly.
Then the goat is soon shorn. [the task is over soon]
And the time is up.
So this is my result.
- Done. - Very impressive.
But don't do this at home. Don't knit with tape.
Did you know what you were knitting?
I have my result with me.
Have you knitted further in tape?
I knitted further at home.
I thought, Mark, that you should have this knit.
So I knitted a balaclava.
No...!
For you.
I ran out of your yarn, so I just knitted in tape at the end.
It's really cool.
They called it an elephant hat in the kindergarten.
It itches.
You can do it. Just push.
Wow.
It's good on you.
- It suits you really well. - Super cute.
Unpleasant to wear and impossible to take off.
Exactly.
I am in constant pain.
I think it's a wonderful piece of work.
You will never get out.
You have a much bigger head than I thought.
Super solution.
Rosa, you seem pressured about your house of cards.
When the leaf blower comes out, it was all worth it.
I think you have to quality-stamp such a project.
Did you know there was a leaf-blower in the house?
Could we have asked for anything?
You could have just asked.
It's called creativity.
I'm crazy about the solutions that we've seen.
I'll admit, that right now I definitely think that...
...the tape balaclava is the most ingenious thing I've seen.
It's at 5 points right now.
Liam is at 4 points for just wasting tape and crumpling it together.
But we still lack one solution.
We need you, Clement. And...
Well...
I just think we'll let the clip speak for itself.
"You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now."
I am addressing Lasse Rimmer.
The roll of tape has to be what keeps the universe together.
Everything that is not joined, must now be joined.
Now time has stopped, so we have all the time we want.
Could you find some pot lids?
Can you find something that can...
I need to have you in a robe.
- A robe? - Yes.
Now we must save the Earth using the roll of tape.
Can you see what's happening here?
I wish I could say yes.
Elon Musk has his ring of satellites.
And I have this ring of protective pot lids.
You are very much the same person.
Elon Musk and me? Yes.
One is a self-promoting, world-class unsympathetic supervillain -
- and the other is Elon Musk.
Is there another robe?
I have completed the protective ring around the Earth.
Did you just use tape?
To do what, Mark?
I would like to know that too.
- Save the world for time and eternity. - Shut up! [as in 'Wow!']
Did you become a Jedi while I was away?
I have always been.
Has Earth been in danger?
Yes.
Are we still here?
Yes.
The mission is complete.
Should we have given this solution to a psychologist, Clement?
They will pick you up after the show.
There goes my 4 points.
It's the most dangerous question you can ask:
Will you describe your solution?
I just did.
I stopped the time.
It stands completely still.
I fetch the robe.
You have become a Jedi in the meantime.
Then there were some pot lids.
They create a protective ring around the Earth.
That's why we have celebrated New Year in peace.
And that's why we are all here.
Do you believe that yourself?
Ditte's 5 points are not to be meddled with.
Clearly the most brilliant use of tape.
I still don't understand what was going on, Clement.
But it seems unusually stupid.
And you get 4 points for that.
TV 2 is the station where I get 4 points for saving the Earth.
- And Ditte gets 5 points... - For making a balaclava.
Did you see how handsome I was?
You can go home and think about that.
I'll think about it while I count my 4 points.
What shall we move on to, Mark?
We will move on to gummies.
Hi.
It looks like a candy shop.
New Year's banquet.
There is something there too.
It's a menu.
Bacon, lemon, shrimp. Yuck.
I'm getting hungry.
And we are standing under it.
"The periodic table."
There is O.
Cool, when you failed physics-chemistry.
Should I open it?
- "Say a number." - "Closest to the right number wins."
"You have a maximum of 20 minutes."
I am completely at a loss.
What the fuck?
I will wait to read the last part.
"Your time starts now."
You didn't wait that long.
We offer gummies.
There is a menu and a periodic table.
But we are looking for a number.
Who will enlighten us about that?
Now you say enlightened. I think we should start with Clement.
If it's these glasses, then the number is five, right?
Two, four... 100 of those.
I am convinced that all of this is distractions.
There is another answer to this -
- that is hidden. You have hidden it from me, right?
Is there a reason for both a menu sign -
- and the periodic table?
This is a distraction.
No.
Glass, glass, glass, glass. Plus, plus, plus.
Five glasses.
The number is five.
If this is the answer, then just cut me out.
You managed to say a number.
- It could be the right one. - No.
You combine one glass with one glass five times -
- and get five glasses in total. Five.
Does anyone have a more ambitious way to approach the task?
Clement, you counted the glasses and the gummies -
- but you didn't taste a single one.
It could have been relevant -
- if their taste was a central element in the solution to the task.
But... oh, well.
Now we will see Rosa, Liam and Ditte.
What the fuck is this?
It's going to be 20 long minutes.
Damn it...
I need to calculate a number from something that is here.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. It does not taste good.
Jesus.
Candy that tastes of beetroot.
Ice cream cone, potato, liquorice and beetroot.
Candy that tastes of beetroot.
Are these the flavors?
It is sour.
- Blackcurrant. - Blackcurrant and vinegar.
Well, well, well.
Lime and apricot, maybe.
Lime and apricot.
It smells of farts.
- Oh my. - What the hell have I just eaten?
Cheese, maybe.
Mango and cheese.
It smells of dirt. Mmm.
Liquorice and beetroot.
It is a disgusting combination.
This tastes of...
...elderflower. - Elderflower.
Gin.
I have figured out what it is.
What should I do with it?
Then you need to have a number.
Then there is some bullshit over here.
The old bullshit system.
I have never seen one like that before.
Have you never seen the periodic table?
Where was I supposed to have seen that?
In school.
In school?
I can't see what the flavors are supposed to give me.
Then it's letters.
We assume that it must be initials.
- Then we have licorice and beetroot. - Licorice and beetroot [rødbede].
- Lr. - Lr. 103.
103.
Lime and apricot is La.
La is 57.
Now we're talking!
- Blackcurrant and vinegar is Se. - Se. [Solbær and eddike]
- Se. - 34.
- Mango and cheese [ost]. - Mo.
- There. - There. 42.
- Elderflower [Hyldeblomst]. - That's 1.
Gin and anchovy [ansjos]. That one.
Then I will add up.
Now I have to calculate.
- 34. - Five plus three.
- What the hell am I doing? - 57.
My guess is 237.
237.
284.
Have I won something?
Time will tell.
We have had different school experiences.
It's the first time Rosa has seen the periodic table.
And you went to school in West Aarhus [largest city in Jutland] -
- where the physics teacher called it the bullshit system.
But it hangs there, and you have the same approach to the solution.
How does it feel?
Didn't you see that five glasses were on the table?
Yes, but well...
- You are not saying... - He has five. It's five.
It tasted like hell.
There are three different proposals on the field.
What is the right number, Mark?
Do you want to hear something insane, Liam?
Fuck off.
The right number is five.
- Is it five? - No, it's not.
- Of course it's not five. - The right number is 237.
Rosa and Ditte hit it precisely.
Liam, you are a little off.
I don't know if all those parties have ruined your taste buds.
But that gummy that tastes of elderflower -
- tells your taste buds that it tastes of gin and anchovy.
It's an acquired taste.
Fuck me.
Rosa and Ditte score 5 points with the correct answer.
Where does Fredrik place himself?
I'm not that stupid in reality.
Licorice and beetroot.
It is actually okay.
A... 23, 24. I will just ask ChatGPT.
- There are some calculations. - What is the plan?
The plan is that I count all these.
When they are crossed out -
- then I count all those, that are left.
And add together with that, that are in it.
Minus these two calculations.
Then I will tell you the number.
I think.
Two, four... I will just try to turn it around.
For heaven's sake.
I don't understand this.
Looking again. There was still nothing.
Do you think I am unintelligent?
I am doing something completely different now.
I count the letters.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
29 plus 30 plus 31 plus 27.
89. Fuck, I sound smart. 13 plus...
Plus... I have completely lost my train of thought.
This is my final result.
117.
Fredrik, one should use their strengths as often as possible.
And you think:
"Yes, I get the opportunity to count the letters in words again."
Would you take us through how you came to that number?
I actually think myself, I am quite smart.
I really think I have it.
You say that along the way.
You say: "Fuck, I am smart."
But I'm closer than Clement.
Much closer.
That sentence is allowed to stand as the last -
- before I say: How are points distributed?
There is 1 point for Clement, and 2 for Fredrik.
Then there are 3 for Liam. And 6 points both for Rosa and Ditte.
I was to control the debate, and Clement was to clown around.
- No-one thinks that. - You just say when.
We have a task pending, which the participants have solved at my place.
We are going to what Liam would call:
"We are going from bullshit systems to some Bakken shit." [recording took place at the Bakken circus]
Hi. - Hi Fredrik.
What kind of circus is this?
- Hi, hi. - Hi, Ditte.
What is this Bakken shit?
What is going to happen here?
There is just a task to be solved.
It is like some can-shooting.
- Aren't you into that kind of stuff? - No.
It looks exciting. It really resembles a fair or circus.
There are five balls, three ropes, a number of cans.
- Some have to be knocked down? - Possibly.
Are you ready?
Go ahead, Clement.
"Knock down exactly 60 cans."
"You must stay on the mark."
Here I stand now.
"You may throw all five balls, but only pull on one rope."
"Closest to 60 knocked down cans wins."
- "You have 10 minutes..." - "...or until all the balls are thrown."
"Your time starts now."
How many cans are there?
Closest to exactly 60 cans toppled gets the most points.
You have some balls, and you must stay on the mark.
Where do we start, Mark?
We start this Bakken crap with Ditte and Liam.
How many do you think there are?
I don't feel like doing an exact calculation.
There are 40 in one. I need to topple 60.
- That was three. - I can manage it by toppling two.
That was one.
I may pull on a string. That one isn't really secure.
- How can you see that? - It has fallen out.
You haven't done it well enough.
It's cheating when it doesn't work.
It's harder than I thought.
- It didn't matter. - Then the time is up.
I think it's close to 60.
- How many do you think there are? - There aren't 60.34.
It's sharp-sighted to check the ropes and say:
"You won't pull a fast one on me. The rope isn't secured."
It's because he is an amateur.
There is certainly not free choice on all shelves there.
- You didn’t notice it, Ditte. - No.
It’s not important, because you achieve about the same result. Or what?
- That’s my feeling. - Around 60.
What is the result?
Ditte pulls the loose rope, but still manages nicely.
You knock over 53 cans.
It’s better than the 34 that you guess you’ve knocked over, Liam.
You aim significantly better than you count, because you knock over 61 cans.
Let’s wait to reveal how close to 60 that 61 is.
We’ll look at that later.
Clement can ruin everything for me one more time.
Who shall we move on to?
An important part of the task is to have a cool overview.
How many are there?
And who is better at that than you, Fredrik?
I have been playing handball for two months -
- where I was a line player and had to tumble with all the others.
I got scared and quit. Now I’m just pulling on this.
One.
Okay, then I’ll just start counting.
I must not leave the spot, but if I bring this...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
49. No...
- You jumped away from the balls. - Fuck, that is stupid.
How ridiculous.
I have no idea what it was.
Oops. I want to stop now.
The rules say: One must not move from the mark.
But it does not say that one may not move the mark.
For the first time tonight, he succeeded in finding a loophole.
- How satisfied are you? - I am satisfied with that.
I am not satisfied with the result. For I have no idea what it was.
What is his result?
66 cans, which is one can closer to the 60 than Ditte.
Now we have been hunting for loopholes. We are missing one.
Then here comes Rosa.
"You must stay on the mark."
May I use my hand?
Like that. That was 60.
Then they can learn that!
A participant succeeded at toppling exactly 60 cans.
Did you read the task carefully?
Yes, I would say so.
It says: "You must stay at the mark."
Are you at the mark throughout the whole task?
Yes, absolutely.
If we only had some form of documentation.
Video, still image, a form of copper engraving, a charcoal drawing...
- What do we have to work with? - Something like this.
I'm actually sorry about that. No, you are disqualified, Rosa.
No!
We're still missing Clement.
We also need to see a participant legally topple exactly 60 cans.
We are coming to you, Clement.
You are the type who likes to do well and aims high.
- All right. - Eight and a half minutes left.
That was 30. So 30 more.
This is a sporting highlight for me.
No!
- Last ball, Clement. - This is the last ball.
And the task is finished.
Wow.
Clement...
Can I tell you one thing in this little closed circle?
What you have witnessed is beyond comparison -
- my greatest athletic achievement ever.
How long have we known each other? 25 years?
Why have we not known each other since elementary school -
- so I could experience not being picked last in gymnastics.
- It was such a pleasure. - Was it seriously real?
Okay.
I mean...
There are zero points for Rosa for leaving the mark.
With 61 toppled cans, there are 5 points for Liam.
How are the remaining points distributed?
Yes...
No, wait a moment.
- Ouch. - I didn’t stay on the mark. Damn.
Liam, it may be that you are onto something.
Oh no.
No! There we go.
- No, that is harsh. - Yes, it is harsh judging.
The tip of the shoe is over the mark.
But we have had it analyzed by a professional psychologist.
And you are off the mark. That means you are disqualified.
It also means that there are 5 points for Fredrik Trudslev.
No, that is just not right.
Seriously?
Why the fuck did I make that jump?
Can you sense where this is heading?
Fredrik, you are disqualified. Ditte is up for 5 points.
Just to be safe: Mark, there are no more clips, right?
Yes, there are.
Yes.
- Like that. - Yes, that was nice.
- One day... - There are no more clips, right?
- Clement... - No.
It's nice.
I wish that we two had gone to primary school together.
- There are no more clips, right? - No, that's enough.
Zero points, zero points, zero points, zero points. And 5 points to Clement.
We are missing the final task.
And it is unfolding here on stage right now.
Mark, who gets the pleasure to read the final task aloud?
Would you read it aloud, Rosa?
- Is it in Danish? - I think so.
"Win the most potatoes in a game of snatch-steal-shield."
"In each round you can either choose..." We can't start yet.
"In each round you can either choose snatch, steal or shield."
"If you choose snatch, you may snatch a potato from anothe contestant."
"If you choose steal, you may steal all the potatoes from another contestant."
"If you choose shield, the others cannot steal from you,"
"but they can still snatch from you."
What?
- One potato is snatch. Three are steal. - No, all potatoes are steal.
If Ditte has stolen one from you, you may take all four.
- What are two potatoes then? - It's a little more than one.
There is some final information.
"Each potato is worth 1 point."
Excellent. It will work like this:
On my signal, you all at the same time write on your boards -
- which of the three options you choose.
Do you want to snatch, steal, or use a shield?
There are 15 potatoes in total.
So an opportunity to get 15 points in the final round.
And we will play three rounds.
After the third round -
- points will be awarded based on how many potatoes one has.
But in each round, you must write your choice on a board simultaneously.
So, Mark. At my signal, your signal.
La vida loca!
- That's the signal. - Now?
You must write on the boards. So listen for once!
All right...
Steal doesn't work if the person you want to steal from has a shield.
- Have you written anything, Liam? - No.
- Oh, how exciting. - We start with Ditte.
- What have you written? - Steal Liam.
Liam, if you have written shield, you must say it.
- I have not. - I thought so. Thanks for that.
- Clement, what have you written? - Steal Ditte.
Damn.
- Rosa? - I will start cautiously.
- Liam, what have you written? - Steal from Clement.
- Can you manage it? Should we help? - Very gladly.
- You must not steal from me. - I help.
Congratulations.
- Fredrik? - Steal Ditte.
- That was unfortunate. - You get all her potatoes.
That was the first round. I will ask you to wipe the boards clean.
Then you will write what you choose to do.
If one wrote snack, then one could take one, right?
And that was snatch.
All righty.
- You are quick, Ditte. - Yes, I have figured that out.
The first I will ask to reveal their choice...
Um, wait for two seconds, I have misunderstood something.
- Where do we start now? - At Clement.
So it's going this way?
Then I can't use this for anything.
It will show.
Clement, what have you chosen?
- Steal Rosa. - Rosa's potatoes.
- Rosa, have you written shield? - No, I have written snatch Fredrik.
Now Mark is on double duty. Three potatoes are moving to Clement.
- Liam, what have you chosen? - I have made a genius move.
I steal from someone who has none. I completely misunderstood.
But you still have the most.
Fredrik? - I have written shield.
You've written shield.
- Ditte, you are in the backhand. - I steal Rosa's potato.
You'r taking Rosie's potato.
Oh!
- Here you go. - Thanks.
So that everyone is clear about what's going to happen in the last round:
The first one I ask to reveal their choice will be Rosa.
But first you need to wipe the boards clean, so there is room for your new choices.
- Mark, on my signal, your signal. - Hips don't lie.
I think it's difficult.
Yes, it's indeed difficult.
Rosa, what have you written?
Steal Clement.
You take Clement's potatoes.
Clement, if you have chosen shield, you must reveal it now.
He does not have a shield. The three potatoes go to Rosa.
Here you go.
Liam, there could be an obvious choice for you now.
I am not completely stupid. Shield.
- Fredrik, you have chosen...? - Steal L.O.C. [Liam's stage name]
Unfortunately. He is protected by his shield. Ditte?
I have chosen to take care of my potato.
If you plant it in the spring, it can become many potatoes.
And Clement?
Steal Ditte.
Steal Ditte's potato.
No. Shield.
- Well done. - Shield.
The triumphant winner of the final task here.
It is completely obvious that it is Liam who finish strongest with all...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Nine potatoes, 9 points.
3 points for Rosa, 2 for Fredrik, 1 for Ditte.
I think it is mildly racist to let the Irishman get all the potatoes. [his father is Irish]
Mark, what does it mean for the overall standings -
- and who can call themself the winner of the Stormester New Year's special?
It means that Liam, you have gotten so many potatoes now -
- that you are up to 15 points, which was the same as you, Ditte.
But because you keep your potato, you have 16 points -
- and thus are the winner of the Stormester New Year's special.
Ditte Hansen!
Congratulations.
Thank you. So sweet of you.
If you've just turned your TV on, you've missed it all.
We are expecting much more Stormester already this year.
Thank you for tonight.
