Why do I do programmes like this?
I've always been one of those... handicrafts people.
This is doomed.
Oh, there!
[PAUSE TO READ] Niko sometimes uses words in odd ways that doesn't really make sense in Finnish, either. Some of his translations may sound strange!
A very good evening, and welcome to watching how these entertainment elites
attempt to solve tasks which some consider senseless, others ingenious.
What is ingenious, at least, is the way I score them: Based on facts, but completely arbitrarily.
I am Jaakko Saariluoma, and this is Suurmestari.
Our regular contestants are: Eero Ritala.
Pamela Tola.
Pirjo Lonka.
- Joonas Nordman. - Go, Joonas!
And today they're competing with the always wonderful Niko Saarinen. Welcome.
[Media personalty/radio/podcaster. Formerly BB-Niko, as he started on Finnish Big Brother]
And on my left side sits a person with a black belt in catching mistakes.
She's the official referee of the competition, Pilvi Hämäläinen.
Evening.
Pilvi, what kind of fun will unfold before our eyes today?
All sorts of fun. We will truly rise to new heights.
Well, that sounds good. We'll always rise higher and higher.
But before we go there, let's figure out what we're competing for today, and give out the first points.
Would you remind me a little about that? I just can't remember what I came up with.
The episode prizes are the contestants' personal belongings.
And this time you asked them to bring with them:
The thing that should impress others, but doesn't.
Right. The thing that should impress others, but doesn't.
Ingenious, if I do say so, myself.
What have they brought?
Let's start with Pirjo.
Pirjo brought "furniture paws," which prevent her furniture from scratching the floor.
I don't understand! How could it be that they haven't made an impression?
And next, Pamela.
Can it truly be that people aren't impressed by a Suosikki award for Best Finnish Actress from the year 2005?!
[Suosikki ("Favourite"): Youth magazine (1961-2012). Lots of pop media coverage. Always came with posters.]
[Pilvi] Next, Eero.
Eero has ordered this device all the way from the United States.
But it still has yet to receive the admiration it deserves.
The device in question is a fart machine.
[Pamela] ...What?
And Joonas.
Joonas brought a Venla statue, [annual TV award]
which apparently DOES make an impression, but a much smaller one than it should. [Joonas won in 2022]
[Pilvi] It's no Suosikki award, after all.
[Pilvi] And finally, Niko.
Niko's thing that should impress others but doesn't is a towel with a picture of Niko himself.
- [Joonas & Pamela] Hey, that's great! - [Pirjo] Beautiful.
Niko, you're on this towel, and... Who else?
- It's the rapper Costi. - Oh yeah, that's who I thought it was. Why doesn't this impress others?
Well, maybe it should. I thought it might, but I don't really know if anyone actually wants something like this.
- [Niko] Maybe. - [Joonas] How much?
- How much? Well, let's wait and see if you win it today. - [Pamela] Right!
- [Joonas] Oh, yeah. - [Pirjo] Right! Now you have the chance to go after it.
Joonas, the whole idea of this game is that if you win this episode, you get that towel.
Wait, what show is this?
I thought we were doing Uutisvuoto. ["News Leak", Finnish HIGNFY (1998–2019)]
Thank you for these items.
I'll score these so that...
- Niko and Pirjo get four points for this one. - Yay!
Then, I personally consider a fart machine and a Venla statue of equal value, so you get...
You both get three.
[Jaakko] I mean...
I have eight of them, myself. They're not that valuable. [Four of them are for Suurmestari]
- And then Pamela gets two points. - Why two? This is a very personal one.
Yes, but it was an awfully long time ago.
No, but the whole point is, no matter where it is...
Like, for example, if I keep that in my living room in a place of honour, and nobody ever shows any interest,
- then hasn't my attempt been much better than his Venla? - [Eero] You just immediately start griping.
But you've won more prestigious awards since then.
[Pamela] I haven't won anything except for this!
- [Joonas] I see! - [Pirjo] You really haven't? - [Pamela] Really!
And if you keep going, you won't win this episode, either.
Pamela, two points. Deux points. [French]
Thank you. Yaaaaaaay.
And so the competition has begun. Now let's go to the mansion for the first task.
Oho! Oho.
Alright!
Good Lord.
"Retrieve the eggs from the top of the pole."
"One foot must stay on the ground throughout the attempt."
"The most intact eggs retrieved wins."
"You have ten minutes. Your time starts now."
[PAUSE TO READ] The task literally says "the second/other foot". The meaning is translated correctly, but keep that in mind.
The contestants were tasked with retrieving as many intact eggs as possible from the top of the pole.
Now I understand what you meant when you reminded me that we're reaching high.
Well, whose attempt should we start with?
Let's start with Eero, Pamela, and Pirjo.
[Eero] Yes.
On the ground for the entire attempt... Oh boy. I'll go get some... here...
Is there like a…
I should see if there's, um, like... Hang on.
I wonder if I could get that off... One foot must stay on the ground.
Maybe I could catch them with that net. Could that help, maybe?
A net is good.
I can drop them... into the lion's mouth.
I wonder if these...?
Now I know what to do! I'll measure that, I'll put down a blanket, and topple them all. Yes.
[Pirjo in task] Where's your measuring tape?
This is... This is doomed.
Look, I'll put this chute there.
One foot was supposed to stay on the ground the entire time!
One foot WILL stay on the ground the entire time.
Hey!
This isn't working.
I don't know what'll come down! They'll all fall on my head!
Do I dare I try this?
Aaah! Help! Oh my God!
Will this entire thing topple? Sorry.
We're making a cushioned area here.
Wait a moment…
NO, NO, NO! NO, NO, NO!
Well, what's wrong with this? AAAGH!
[Pamela] No!
Alright.
[Bleeped swearing] Sorry!
Come, come!
Whoa!
No! It broke!
No.
I'm getting at least one egg down from here intact.
I don't have... Now both of my feet are in the air. So be it.
- [Pamela] She doesn't care at all! - [Pirjo] Hey! - [Joonas] "So be it!"
- What! Did you do it? - [Pirjo] What came down? Hey!
- Two. - No!
- Two! - [Pilvi] Thank you, Eero.
Come, come, egg! [Unintentionally filthy. "Muna" (egg) is often used as a penis euphemism]
No! I can't see anything!
- [Joonas] It stayed intact. - [Pamela] It's intact. - Hey, look!
Intact! One! That's a lot.
Hey!
[Pamela] What?
- [Pirjo] Look at that face. - [Eero & Pamela] What a face!
[Pamela] Yes, but you're so happy!
Oh, the joy of success! Thank you for all of these "successful" attempts.
Pirjo...
You loudly voiced your decision to ignore the rules.
- Right... - You just... Both feet… "So be it!"
Yes, but... but...
If I really, REALLY get started now, it didn't say WHOSE foot.
- Pilvi was firmly… one foot on the ground. And one in the grave. - [Jaakko] It probably didn't say which eggs to retrieve, either.
Oh boy. What were the results?
So, the contestants were supposed to retrieve as many eggs intact as possible.
Pamela and Pirjo both retrieved one egg. Which, according to Pamela, is a lot.
And Eero got two eggs. Which, on Pamela's scale, is a resounding success.
Now, we'll take a small break, and see Niko's and Joonas' attempts.
Welcome back, this is Suurmestari.
Before the break, we saw how Eero, Pamela, and Pirjo dropped eggs from the top of a pole.
We still haven't seen how Niko and Joonas managed it.
And we'll see their attempts now.
Help!
There are eggs up there! I can feel it.
One foot must stay on the ground…
Could it be a table leg? One foot, as in the table leg. ["jalka" = leg / "jalkaterä" = foot, but is often shortened to "jalka"]
No! What?
May I ask...?
- It technically isn't prohibited. - Exactly.
- What? - So if you could just go up the ladder,
and show me... Try to just carefully bend it a little.
They won't count, if you're the one to break them.
- I see! - Then I'll retrieve them...
In this thing here, and the table leg... it's a foot.
This isn't helpful at all.
Then take... Put your other hand... up...
Don't! Don't!
If you get on your tiptoes a bit. Just stand on your toes.
[Pilvi] This will end badly.
It'll fall... AAAGH!
Come. No, the table is in a wild position.
AAAGH!
Essentially, not a single one remained intact.
What could they fall onto so they won't break?
So... now... Now we just have to kind of trust in it.
- Let's try it. - So, I'll lift it. - Yeah.
This was terrible. I'll just catch with my palms. That'll work.
Just one fucking... I want to get one intact.
Just one -- AAAGH!
Oh Lordy! PILVI! Two!
- [Niko in task] Unbroken! - [Pamela] Wow! - Nice!
- Now the heavens are on my side! - [Eero] Nice. Will you get more?
- [Pamela] He got more! What! - [Joonas] Well done! - [Pirjo] No way!
- [Pirjo] Nooo! - [Pamela] No way! What?!
Look!
Look! It didn't break!
Thank you, Niko.
Good, good! Good!
Put the other hand on there as well. Good. Good. Perfect. Excellent.
No! Oh, no!
[Joonas in task] Oh, hey!
Wait up.
- There's a bunch of intact ones here. Only half of them broke. - [Pamela] Hey! Well done!
And from the broken half, we'll make an omelette for the crew.
[Pamela] Really well done! So you should have just caught them with your hands.
Oh boy. Great attempts. Niko, how do you think it went? Now that you've seen it.
It went pretty well, now that I've seen the three previous ones.
You're completely right. Compared to them, it went very well.
That's an ingenious invention, that the other table leg...
One foot must be on the ground at all times, but not, like… which foot?
- [Pirjo] I think that's totally fair. - [Jaakko & Niko] Right.
- [Jaakko] I do, too. - It didn't define "foot."
- If we consider that a table has four legs, then which one is the table's "other" leg? - [Pirjo] One! - [Joonas] Right.
[Pirjo] First you divide four by two, and then take the other one.
- You can't just speak in those... - I can! - ...Mathematical formulas and then just...
- [Jaakko] What a nice atmosphere in here! - [Joonas] So true. - [Jaakko] Such a lovely atmosphere.
- [Joonas] This is the most serious series so far. - [Jaakko] Yes. - [Pamela] Our relationships had already been a bit rocky.
Right. But then... You got quite a few intact ones.
You didn't use the table at all after that, except for deciding to bump into it.
Yeah, I ran into it. And I... Now there's a negative atmosphere here.
- Sorry. - You're not going to take my points from me!
I have five eggs, and so I get five points.
[Niko] I'm hanging onto them!
- This is... Your voice has been heard. - [Niko] Thanks.
- What are the results? - Niko and Joonas both got five intact eggs from the top of the pole.
So the points are given according to rankings. And in this task, the points go…
- Joonas and Niko, five points. - [Eero] Alright! Well done.
Eero three points.
- Pamela two points. - Yes! - And Pirjo one point.
- I got some anyway! - [Jaakko] You got one point anyway. - Good. Thank you.
What are the scores at the moment? Who's in the lead?
Currently in the lead is...
Niko!
This is television history, tonight. I have never led in anything.
You're leading now. One task has been done. Or, let me correct myself: two tasks have been done.
And we still have lots of tasks left. Let's see how your lead holds.
Let's go to the mansion immediately, to see the next task.
Alright.
Hi.
Pick one of these cards.
I'll take that one.
You now have three seconds to look at your card.
[These are all Finnish towns and their actual coats of arms]
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. One, two, three... - Time's up!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- Time's up. - Ah, what?
What was on it?
"Build the biggest and most artistically impressive reproduction possible of the coat of arms depicted on the card."
"The best coat of arms wins."
"You have 15 minutes. Your time starts now."
The contestants were tasked with building the biggest, most artistically impressive reproduction possible of a coat of arms.
Well, this one I'm really... really excited for.
Whose coats of arms will we look at first?
Let's first watch what Pamela's, Joonas', and Niko's attempts look like.
Okay. The most artistically impressive…
You're coming with me, aren't you? There was a big... black something.
I'm probably going to take quite an artistic approach here.
This immediately speaks to me, this thing...
A horse… The man was on top of something!
On top of some kind of black dragon. So he was, yeah.
Is that the fish?
It, well... You're definitely keeping up well.
No… These.
We're missing the man!
Actually, in an emergency, you'd pass as a man, now that I look at you properly.
[Niko in task] Well... Probably not...
You can run with scissors. It's… That's how the saying goes, right?
I've always been one of those... handicrafts people.
- You can tell. - Yeah.
- You have ten minutes left. - Such a gloomy atmosphere we have here.
"Lapua."
Hey, we're missing the body.
Stop it! Cut it out. Look.
There. He was also holding a sword. He was holding a sword.
How do I have such a good photographic memory?
It's not about quality... It's about size.
[Joonas in task] ...So that it won't move.
I suspect that the municipality of Inari will recognise me in some way.
- Have you ever been to Lapua? - No.
And I doubt I'll ever be invited, after this.
I remember that there was a tongue.
I remember...
- So, you don't quite understand. - Yeah.
Yeah, you're probably looking at it from the wrong angle.
- Yeah, now it's quite obvious. - Right, there it is. Yes, I thought this was...
At least it's big, and... looks pretty similar.
It's ready.
- Wow! - [Joonas in task] Regards to Inari.
[Pilvi] Thank you, Joonas.
- [Eero] They look good! - [Pirjo] Hey, so...
Good, great artistic constructions. What do you think, Pilvi?
Yes. I was very impressed.
- Who shall we start with? Pamela? - Ummm... Let's start with Pamela.
- Yes, let's. - Pamela's coat of arms looked like this.
- [Pamela] It looks good. - [Jaakko] And let's see what we were trying for.
[Pilvi] Yes, the original Joroinen coat of arms.
- [Joonas & Niko] Wow! Amazing. - [Pirjo] Wowie. - [Eero] Looks good.
That's pretty good. It's a bit like looking at the Joroinen coat of arms with a bad astigmatism.
But it is recognisable, if someone like Pamela insists that it's the Joroinen coat of arms.
- So it's recognisable. - And it even says "Joroinen" there. - Yes, it does.
If someone can see far enough to read it.
- Thank you, Pamela. - Thank you.
- And shall we next see what Joonas' coat of arms looked like? - Let's see Joonas' coat of arms next.
- [Pilvi] Here's Joonas' coat of arms, and... - [Joonas] I'm in the coat of arms! - [Pamela] Why?
[Joonas] What an unbelievable narcissist!
- [Jaakko] So, that's what Joonas' coat of arms looks like. - [Pilvi] And here we can see what we were going for.
- [Pirjo] Why are you there? - [Pamela] Why did you stay in? - [Joonas] Why did I stay in?
- [Jaakko] I can't see you in the original one. - [Joonas] I can't, either.
It must have been a very strong artistic – which we were supposed to go for – artistic interpretation.
But I can't see the antlers or the fish in your coat of arms at all.
In hindsight, I should have only used the tennis rackets, because... They're a bit unnecessary, that rake and...
Personally, I would have changed a lot more than that.
But thank you, Joonas.
- Should we see Niko's coat of arms next? - Yes, Niko's coat of arms next. - Yeah. It looks like this.
- And what were we going for? - Here's the reference picture.
- [Pamela] Well, hey. - [Niko] Hey! There's a ton of the same elements.
[Jaakko] Name two, please?
There's a man, and an elk.
- A man and an elk? - [Pamela] An elk! - NO!
[Niko] Look, no! No, I got...
The artist got himself flummoxed, since the work of art is so multidimensional, see, so...
- I see... - It's a bear.
Yes, I do see an elk, but I was trying to find the bear.
- [Pirjo] Help... ["Apua"] Oh my God... - [Jaakko] No, it's LAPUA. - [Pirjo] It's Lapua...
Oh boy. These were great. These were delightful.
We still have a couple of coats of arms left, but at this point, we'll go for a small break.
Welcome back. This is Suurmestari.
Before the break, we saw the fine, artistic coats of arms that Niko, Pamela, and Joonas created.
For our entertainment. And now, we still have two left.
[Pilvi] We'll see Pirjo's and Eero's attempts here.
Wait a moment.
I could be the guy, myself.
"Nurmijärvi." [literally "Grass Lake"]
The lake is over there... and then the grass is there. [It's actually the Baltic Sea]
Now I just need to get the seven heads on it.
How is there no green in here? Everything is missing except for green. [He means the opposite]
This could be, like... This will be a little lewd.
- [Pamela] What? - What was Eero's? - [Eero in task] But it's okay.
I'm not going to ask anyone to be in this one. I won't make anyone lay among the ticks.
Here's one.
Elsewhere, there are grants available for this kind of work.
Quite a lot of them.
Next, I'll get a marker.
What was in there? The background... Were there mountains of some kind? [Finland has no mountains]
Was there a caveman?
The figure was a caveman.
And there was some sort of blob.
Nurmijärvi... It's even in the right order, too.
First there's the grass, then there's the lake.
- What? - [Pirjo in task] There.
Where is that...
Wait a second!
Oh, there.
Why am I doing this? Why do I do programmes like this?
Well, this is kind of fun.
- I don't really have a plan for the "Lappeenranta". I only know a few... - Eero!
A few artists.
Laineen Kasperi's from Lappeenranta. [rapper, part of hip-hop group Kaucas]
I probably can't go to Lappeenranta ever again.
- They'll beat me up in the town square. - [Pamela] Eero!
[Eero growls and roars]
We come in from here, we leave from there. And then we see the lake.
Then we walk amongst the grass, and we see these.
In one sense, I am ready.
On the other hand...
I'm really sorry to every person from Lappeenranta, but...
I'm pretty proud of this work.
No, it's really good!
- [Pamela] The trousers next to you! - I'm ready.
Lake!
Grass!
What?
Seven heads!
[Pamela] No… What is this??
Nurmijärvi!
Thank you... Thank you for these...
These... umm... uhhh...
Let's start… let's start with Eero. I think dealing with Pirjo will take a while, so let's just start with Eero.
It's probably pretty clear.
- [Jaakko] Let's start with Eero. What does Eero's coat of arms look like? - It's...
Eero's coat of arms looked like this.
- [Eero] What is... The clothes are there... - [Pamela] His clothes are right next to him!
- And what were we going for? - For reference, let's put the original next to it.
- [Pamela] Hey, that looks good! Amazing! - [Joonas] So similar.
- [Pirjo] That's really good. - [Pamela] And you remembered the green things.
[Jaakko] This is great. It's like... You're not the first actor to portray a caveman.
[Eero] No, I'm not.
[Jaakko] Then...
I first need to focus before this next one.
Can we see...
Can we see what Pirjo's coat of arms looks like?
- Uhhh... Well... - [Pirjo] Is it not...?
[Jaakko] It looks... When we actually turn it into a picture, it looks like this.
[Pilvi] Yes, we have to have a picture, and this is it.
- [Pamela] What? - [Pilvi & Eero] ...Yeah.
- And where's the one we were going for? - And the original coat of arms is here.
[Pirjo] Hey, hey, wait a moment! A moment, hey!
Could I see Pirjo's coat of arms again?
- It looked like this. - You can't see the heads!
And can I see the original again?
They're so similar to each other!
- Do we have that one of those heads here with us? - Oh right, you're talking about...
- These heads? - [Pirjo] Those heads!
Just like with theirs, this one was meant to be viewed, like Eero's was, from above.
My picture was meant to be viewed from very high up,
where you can see from above the grass, the lake, the seven fair flaxen-haired heads.
Well, Pirjo, I will correct myself. We did have a picture from above.
- You did? - But I thought we shouldn't use it, since it shows the sea, not a lake.
Well, but it was fine. Everything else went well.
You actually made the coat of arms for Nurmimeri. ["Grass Sea" - not real]
Alright, Nurmijärvi. It was great.
The points will be distributed as follows:
Eero five points.
Hey!
- Pamela four points. - Yes.
Niko three points.
Joonas two points.
- And... And... - [Pirjo] What?
Pirjo, you get one point.
But then, for your bravery in venturing far outside the box,
- meaning an animated coat of arms, which you probably intended... - [Pirjo] In today's...
You get two bonus points. So you get three points, as well.
Oh boy. That was a tough nut to crack. But it's been scored.
What are the episode scores? Who leads at the moment?
The current leader of the competition is a person by the name of...
- Niko Saarinen! - Yes!
- Niko, it's the second time in history. You're leading for the second time. - But we're still missing the last scoring, Jaakko.
- See, I'm not that bothered about the midway points, just the final win. - [Pirjo] Yes, it's exactly like that.
That's smart thinking. And you'll get more points at the mansion, so let's push onwards back there.
- Hello! - Hello.
Hi!
What's in here?
Congratulations.
- Congratulations to you. - Oh! Thank you!
"Open this present as fast as possible."
"Fastest time wins."
"Your time starts now."
"...starts now."
"...starts now!"
No, this'll be one of those things with loads of small boxes, I just know it...
What? Just open this present as fast as possible?
AHA!
I can't remember the last time I saw such fast actions here.
But actually, Pilvi, apparently there's another envelope involved here.
Correct.
At the end of that footage, Pirjo found another envelope inside the box.
From inside that envelope emerges the second stage of the task.
The second stage of the task. And we'll see it after the break. See you soon.
Welcome back, this is Suurmestari.
Before the break, we saw how quickly the contestants managed to open a present.
But, Pilvi, that may have only been the first part of the task.
Yes. And the second part of the task will be clarified now.
"Wrap the present you opened back into its original condition."
"The best attempt wins."
"You have seven minutes."
"Your time starts now."
What did I do, again?
- Oh, get fuc... - Clear enough. So...
Then... I put that...
Just like at home. It's always the same situation. I've been there.
See, alright. The brain has kicked into gear again.
So, honey. The paper will stick to it. As I understand it.
- What? - Ah. Alright.
- Like this. - [Pirjo] Right, right.
Oh, this is so sticky. Oooh, this is good! Why don't more people use this as tape?
- Okay... - Of course. This is totally folk.
♪ The nexuses of life can come as a surprise ♪ [Not an existing song]
♪ Lah lah lah lah ♪
♪ By singing, you can get… ♪ When people sing, they calm down.
We have to get this in the can in one go.
Then we have the gift.
Slightly used honey.
But nowadays, it's good to recycle.
This makes no sense at all.
No, this is going perfectly! I did say it's just like a puzzle.
You wouldn't even notice that it's been opened.
"You lose a point every time you curse or make negative comments about the task."
- What? What?! - [Pirjo] What did it say?
[Pamela] That wasn't on there!
Get fucked.
Well, this is difficult.
Hey, what the fuck?
Ah, fuck. Hell.
Nice fucking day. What in the hell?
You have thirty seconds.
Alright, good. There, yes. We're in a little bit of a hurry, though.
- Thirty seconds. - What!
That looks pretty good.
Ta-dah.
There it is.
It's ready.
- Time's up. - Congratulations!
You know, why keep decorating something so pretty?
"You lose a point every time you curse or make negative comments about the task."
- This was here. - [Pamela] Where was it? - [Pirjo] I didn't see...
But I've loved this task. I've been singing happily, and...
Of course there's an extra task involved, where you lost points for cursing and negative attitudes towards the task.
But before we get into that... Niko, you didn't react to the jar of honey in any way.
What do you mean, I didn't react in any way?
As in, with surprise or something.
Sometimes, we give people extra challenges, and since you're such a chill guy, I thought we'd give you a jar of honey and see what happens.
But you used it to your advantage.
Ah, I was watching that and wondering why I was the only one with honey.
- [Pamela & Pirjo] I thought you went and got it! - No!
- I thought you went and got it. - I thought so, too. - But where did you get the tape?
- [Eero] It was in the present. - Didn't you have tape? - No!
You had honey, instead!
You had honey, and the others had tape.
But you took it pretty calmly, although now you don't seem so calm anymore.
[Pirjo] I see!
Obviously! Especially since we now know that I'm leading at this point.
- [Eero] True. - [Pamela] Yeah!
Hey, we didn't know that back then.
No, we didn't.
So, let's cancel the previous. But that was pretty clever.
Putting in a jar of honey, or the way you used it?
The way I used it, and then gifted it to the recipient.
It was good. Slightly used, but not much.
Right, let's move on to the cursing and negative attitudes.
- It will of course affect the points. How did that go for our people? - Yes.
Overwhelmingly, the most grumbling and cursing came from Joonas.
- [mouthing] "Fuck." - Then Eero and Pirjo.
And the most well-behaved were Pamela and Niko.
Always!
Well done! [Niko's far from well-behaved, especially during his time on Big Brother]
Well done. Regarding the points, I will consider how the present looked when it was re-wrapped.
And... umm... then I'll take off some grumbling and cursing points.
So the points will be distributed as follows:
Niko and Pamela, five points.
Yes!
Pirjo three points. Eero two points.
And Joonas...
Can you guess how many points you get? Or just how much you cursed?
I'm probably getting a fuckton of points.
I'm not taking away your one and only point. So you get one point for this.
But it's good to have feelings. And Niko gets a bonus point for the honey.
Yes!
- [Eero] Tough to beat. Oh, yeah. - [Pamela] It's a tough one.
And so we've scored this task as well.
What's the current scoreboard? Who's leading?
Leading in the total points, it's still Niko.
[Pamela] Yes!
[Jaakko] Niko has gotten to celebrate his lead three times now.
But his lead just might crumble, since we still have the final task left.
Get ready.
Pilvi, will you tell us what the final task is?
Tonight's final task requires skill in both building and sound production.
Niko, please read the task out loud.
"Build a tower out of soap."
"While building, you must enthusiastically make the sound that the Taskmaster has asked the previous contestant to make."
"If you make the wrong sound, or take too long to make the sound, Pilvi will knock over your tower."
"You have two minutes to build. The highest tower wins."
"Your time starts from the Taskmaster's first prompt."
- Contestants, are you ready? - Yep. - Yeah. - Yes. - Huh.
Good. Time starts from my first signal.
- Pilvi, what does the cow say? - Moo!
- Pirjo, what does the elephant say? - Moo!
- Joonas, what does the chicken say? - Toot!
- Pamela, what does the pig say? - Cluck cluck cluck!

- Eero, what does the Taskmaster say? - Khh khhhhh...
- Pirjo, what does... - [Pilvi] Time's up!
"Five points to Pirjo!"
[Pirjo] I did it!
Very good. Stop building.
Thank you, dear friends. Great towers. The task is finished.
Thank you!
The sounds came out nicely and enthusiastically, and the towers are all of different heights, shall we say.
The points are distributed according to the height of the tower, since nobody made any mistakes with the sounds.
- With the equal result of 21 centimeters, five points to Eero and Niko. - Yeah! - [Pamela] Well done!
- Pirjo's tower was 19 cm, four points for that. - [Eero] Good job.
Joonas' tower was 11 cm, three points for that.
And Pamela's "tower" was five centimetres, so two points.
Five! At least.
So the points have been distributed. But now, the most important question.
Who won?
Looking at the contestants, who do you think seems the most nervous?
Suddenly, it's so hard to tell!
Pilvi... Who's won the episode?
After all of the tasks, the one who managed to collect the most points is...
Who on Earth, who on Earth, who is hiding there?
Surely it isn't Niko!
YES!
[Jaakko] Congratulations, Niko! You may go get your prizes.
Thanks to all the contestants. Thanks to all the viewers. This was Suurmestari.
