Stormester (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Hvad gør kontakten? - full transcript

Good evening and welcome to Taskmaster.

This season is well on its way -

- and luckily, our contestants
have learned nothing on the way.

They still dive head-first into the tasks -

- diabolically set by me,
and I love them for it.

So please give each of them
one-fifth of your love.

X Factor host Sofie Linde.

Stand-up comedian Melvin Kakooza.

Stand-up comedian Thomas Warberg.

Stand-up comedian Jacob Taarnhøj.

Actress Stephania Potalivo.



As usual on Taskmaster,
the contestants have no idea how they did.

Or indeed if they
did anything right.

As always, I'm assisted nicely
by Mark Le Fêvre!

So, we're at the part of the season
where you've started to relax?

It's Friday!
It is.

Want some?

When I hired you, I asked -

- "Where do you
see yourself in five years?" -

- and you said
"Not stuffing my mouth with popcorn"

Now that day has come,
so put that bucket away.

So now we know which item
Mark would enter as a prize.

Because there is a certain prize
on the show for extra motivation.

That's right, we've asked
them to bring an item -

- that they can't live without.



The person who's brought today's item -

- is Stephania Potalivo.

Great pronunciation.
Thanks.

Stephania, what's your item?

I had to bring something
I couldn't live without -

- so I was reminded
how much I like breathing -

- so I've brought my asthma inhaler.

So I hope to do well tonight.

You'll die without it?

I don't know about dying,
but it'll be a problem.

How will you sound without it?

We may find out.

That's a reason to keep watching.

Good luck.
Thank you.

There's another reason to try your best -

- because over the course of the season -

- the contestants compete for
the highest accumulated score -

- and the winner gets -

- this golden trophy.
Oh, yeah.

Let's get started, Mark.

Are you eating popcorn again?

I can't rule that out completely.

Let's start off with a task
that gets the juices flowing.

I have something where there's potential
for complete destruction of your property.

Sounds like it would both
get the juices flowing and boil my piss.

Let's try.

Oh, no.

What's all this, Mark?

Let's see.

Nice tower you've built there, Mark.

It's slightly worrying.

Stack 5 things.

Highest stack of 5 things wins.

For the duration of the task,
you must wear these glasses.

Your tower completely distracted me
from the glasses.

You have 10 minutes.

Your time starts when
Mark knocks something over.

When does your time start?
When you knock something over.

These are not just blurry goggles.

They render you completely blind, right?

What are the rules of this task?

They must stack 5 objects in 10 minutes.

They are completely blindfolded.

I don't remember doing that task.

At all.

I don't want to spoil the clip -

- but it's pretty clear that you ...
let's say ...

Mom "had the night off"?

Let's see them.

Here's everyone except Sofie.

Do you understand the task?

Yes.

Are there ladders outside?

Mind the step.

That way?
Not quite.

This way?
Yes.

The shed.

A tube.

Mannequin legs.

Now, is Lasse's head flat enough to stack?

This ladder is too big!

Too big!

It's all about the foundation.

I must keep his head intact.

Now we're in the hallway, right?

Can you tell that I'm upset?

It's really wet in here.

Where's the wall?!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Measure it.
Right.

I'll go with this.

Table, legs, book, hat, glasses.

Time's up.
Perfect.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Time's up.

That's 4 things, right?

I've chosen not to use a fifth thing.

What do you mean,
"I've chosen not to use a fifth thing"?

I didn't need to.

And looking at it now -

- you'll just measure the ladder, right?

Me being on it doesn't change anything.

But how many things were there?

There was the ladder -

- then Thomas -

- then there was a lemon.

Anything else?

A pair of shoes!

A pair of shoes between the ladder and me.

Now you're just making things up.

I'm not making up the concept of shoes.

And in that shoe I choose, weirdly, -

- sock.

So that's five things. Five.

Thomas Warberg.

If you could just choose at will
which components count -

- you could have just taken a ladder
and said "That's a stack".

When you stack things, there has to be
a small element of risk.

Why are you cheating?

Right now, I'm panicking a little bit.

I wanted to unfold the ladder -

- and I couldn't do it.

So you've cut out 9,5 minutes of
footage of me going ...

That's why I said
"Can you tell I'm crying?"

When Mark said there was 1 second left -

- I just leaped with a lemon.

Then there's my flat head, Melvin.

Why do you ...
Appropriately flat head.

Appropriate for what?

For stacking!

You can absolutely stack things on my head.

It's so practical.

It's used a lot where I come from.

Who had trouble maneuvering blindfolded?

Jacob, you said it was
all about the foundation -

- then you started stacking candelabra.

To gain foundation insights,
I experimented a lot at first.

Later, I switched to the desk mat.

Some would say
that's just a few millimeters.

But it enabled me to stack -

- whatever it was I stacked.

I thought you all did great -

- and some with a bit of courage, too -

- Stephania and Warberg
ventured down the steps and outside -

- because it's not
dangerous enough as it is.

Well done so far,
we'll get back to the scores.

Why did we leave Sofie for last?

I remember now.

I feel like I should prepare
to be really sad.

And for that reason ...

I stressed out a little.

Sofie Linde.

Would you be one of my five things?

Sure ...

If you sit on that, I'll get the ...

Whoa.

Where's the tape, Mark?

Fuck yeah.

I think this is a tripod.

Where the hell is that tripod now?

What!?

Is there a camera on it?

I don't know if I can
put this on the tripod

Which strange device is this?

It won't stay up here.
Or ...?

How many things have I stacked?

You have a number of stacks going.

One minute.

Are you ready?

This is an immense crisis.

50 seconds.

Grab this.
I'll grab it.

Hold it up as high as you can.

Time's up.
Twin Towers!

We'll get to all the things you broke.

But first -

- what made you think it was a good idea -

- to tape a vacuum cleaner to a tripod?

I'm not watching that thinking -

- that was my finest hour.
I'll say that.

There were a lot of bad looks for me.

I didn't know I ran like this ...

I didn't know.

I've written here -

- "You move like a 110-year-old woman -

- who's afraid she won't make it
to the bathroom."

That really stresses me out.

Apparently, my self-image is all wrong.

You didn't think it would look like this.

Did you keep track of
how many things you broke?

You have to understand, I was in the zone.

I couldn't focus on anything
apart from stacking.

But I see know that I might
owe you a bit of money.

Do the rest of you feel better
about your chances -

- after seeing Sofie?

That depends, do shoes and socks count?

I'm warming up to that idea.

If only you'd taped them to a tripod.

That's where I went wrong.

The bad news is that the task was -

- "Stack 5 things blindfolded" -

- not "Break 60 af Lasse's things".

Let's take stock.
How much was destroyed?

In total for all 5 contestants.

You've lost -

- 4 candelabra -

- 2 candles -

- 1 vacuum cleaner -

- 1 table -

- 1 chair -

- 1 magnifying glass -

- 5 lamps -

- 1 fire extinguisher -

- your glasses, and a taxidermy rooster.

I can't even begin to go into that.

Like, how do you break a fire extinguisher?

How many of those things did Sofie break?

Not that many. Let's not go into it.

I happen to have them here.

4 candelabra -

- 2 candles -

- 1 table -

- 1 vacuum cleaner -

and a taxidermy rooster.

Did anyone break nothing?

Warberg. Does he get a bonus point?

Warberg, you get -

- no bonus point.

The task was not about that.

But I will deduct a point from Sofie
for breaking so many things.

That's too bad -

because you're also disqualified
for not stacking 5 things.

Disqualification means 0 points for Warberg -

- and negative 1 point for Sofie.

How did the others do?

Stephania's stack was 207 cm for 3 points.

Melvin, 209 cm for 4 points.
That was close.

Jacob Taarnhøj, 233 cm for 5 points.

Jacob Taarnhøj ["Hightower"]
living up to his last name there.

That means Jacob is in the lead.

Sofie Linde is on negative points.
A first in Taskmaster history.

Let's not dwell on that,
we'll move on to the next task.

I always dreamed of
living in a house with a switch -

- that you can turn on and off -

- and not know what it does.

What's the best thing about Taskmaster?

That my dreams come true.
Exactly.

A bit spooky.

Is it a bomb?
No bombs in here, right?

Weird that Mark's not here.

What does this switch do?
Your time starts now.

What does this switch do?

It switches on ... something.

What the fuck does the switch do?

You've all looked forward to
seeing that switch again, right?

I take your "no" as "yes". Here it is.

I have nightmares about that switch.

Why?

I'd never before felt like a dumb dog.

It's like teaching a dog a new trick -

- where you go "Sit!" -

- and it tries the tricks that it knows -

- but they're not right.

You can tell its brain starts to melt.

Because that was all it knew to do.

That's how I felt about the switch.

My brain ran out.

Without giving it away -

- how many of you think you found the answer?

Three hands go up.

Three out of five think so.

Who didn't know? Sofie?
Well ...

I don't want to say, for tactical reasons.

If you don't want to say, let's see it.

Here's Sofie and Taarnhøj.

Those are on.

That's off.

On, on, on.

Something here?

No, of course not.

Fuck, that's annoying,

Hi, Mark. So you're in here?

Yep.

I get a funny feeling that
this room is important to the task.

All of this is on.

These are off.

Still off, still off.

I turned it off, right? Off?

Has this been on the whole time?

Is it off?

No it's still on, dammit.

Could you just tell me?

No.

How about the crew?
No.

I'm probably missing something obvious.

No, it was on. Dammit.

What does the switch do?

Is it a joke where the answer is -

- "It switches on and off"?

That's what a switch does.

It makes or breaks a circuit.

I mean, that's ...

I'm not wrong.

What does the switch do?
It makes or breaks a circuit.

I'm guessing the switch is somehow connected -

- to my self-regard.

Is it on or off right now?

It's on.

Jacob Taarnhøj, what should we have done -

- to make you notice what the switch did?

Come on.

You can't use a switch
to turn on glasses.

Can't you?

Turns out you can.

So this is one of those
trick questions, huh?

Like Warberg, I've felt really bad
since this task.

I've just moved to a new home
with switches that seem to do nothing.

I now assume they make
someone put on glasses.

Sofie, how do you feel
now that you know the answer?

I wouldn't say that I'm proud
of my performance today.

You could have worn the glasses
from the previous task -

- and done just as well here.

You're probably right.

Now we know what the switch does.

The rest thought they knew already.

Let's start with Warberg -

- you seemed in pain
when you saw the switch.

Let's see why.

That one, that one, ...

I don't remember which ones I pointed at.

Let's turn everything off.

I've unplugged a lot of them.

Yes, you have.

I really have.

Okay, this is what we do:

We turn everything on.

Nothing has happened.
That confuses me so much.

Oh, no.

I'll be in here.

Just pan it around.

Slower.

Something happened!

So you're telling me -

- that I've been thrashing around -

- with an enormous carbon footprint -

- just to make you move the glasses?

To put it bluntly, yes.

I'm just so happy it's over.

I think using two phones is a great idea.

Why didn't you do it right away?

When I had the idea to turn off everything -

- I thought that was clever.

Then I realized
"Oh, this will set me back 30 minutes."

When I told my girlfriend what I'd done -

She said "You're dumber than I thought".

You seemed so angry, then relieved
when you found out.

How close did I come to
having to attend Mark's funeral?

I wasn't really that mad at him.

There was a moment
when tears started to well up.

You feel like ...

It's like assembling an IKEA cabinet.
You're just yelling -

- "No one knows how
this will ever become a cabinet!"

Suddenly, you find
that nut to fit the bolt and ...

I'd say it was a kind of detox.

All the nastiness came out.

Let's have the times so far.

How long did Thomas spend on the task?

It was 36 minutes 13 seconds
before he started using FaceTime.

In total, it was 40 minutes 56 seconds.

Sounds like a long time,
I bet it felt even longer.

There's a small consolation -

- Taarnhøj spent 43 minutes 11 seconds
not completing the task.

I had the idea to use FaceTime
as soon as I entered the room -

- but then I took out my phone ...

Who's up next?
Stephania.

The switch makes an electric current flow.

Or does it?

I really want to succeed.

Just once I'd like to tell myself -

- "Good thinking!"

Why are there glasses in your hands?
That happens a lot.

So you hide the glasses.

Cool.

Maybe someone is slower than me.

Standing ovation, that was very well done.

Stephania was not very sure,
but got it right.

Here's someone who's very sure,
but gets it wrong.

I think I know who that might be.
Oh, no.

The switch does absolutely nothing.

It's not even connected to anything.

It does nothing.

The end.

That's how the cookie crumbles.

I went upstairs and thought
"Man, that was easy!"

"Taskmaster, my ass! What an idiot."

I was really impressed with
the elaborate setup -

- in a room I didn't enter.

Let's get some points, Mark Le Fêvre.

No points for Sofie, Taarnhøj, and Melvin.

But no negative points, though.

4 points for Warberg at 40:56.

5 points for Stephania at 14:30.

What has that done do to the scores?

Stephania's in the lead with 8 points.

This was very exciting,
we need something relaxing.

Perhaps even soporific.

Some bedtime stories, perhaps?

I sucked at that.

Lasse's old living room.

Does it behoove me
to peruse this memorandum?

Write, illustrate, and read
a bedtime story for adults.

Most captivating story wins.

You have one hour.
Your time starts now.

This makes me tired.

It has to be pleasant,
and a little bit exciting .

But not too exciting,
or your adrenaline starts pumping.

This never happens:
"Sing me a lullaby?"

"Sure. Suck my lollipop!"

No one falls asleep after that.

Bedtime story to me? -

- that's my girlfriend talking about her day.

"And then Camilla came in.
And you know Margaret."

You've never heard of Margaret.

"You won't tell anyone this, right?"

I can promise that 100%

To be completely honest -

- I'm not sure what
my girlfriend does all day.

She seems happy.

How are we on time?

Plenty of time.
Good.

Warberg, did you go home and ask her?

Yes, I did. And she told me.

And to be honest, I still don't know.

These are my criteria for
a successful bedtime story -

- written, illustrated, and read by you.

It must be pleasant,
and exciting, but not too exciting.

So captivating that I'm interested in the story.

But nice too, right?

Nothing too scary
that triggers bad thoughts.

I watch the historical drama Matador to sleep.

World War II doesn't trigger bad thoughts?

I skip those episodes.

Show me a story.

Stephania's first.
Oh, no.

Once upon a time,
there was a little boy named Lasse.

Lasse was a very funny boy.

But he was not like the other funny boys.

You see, Lasse was smart.

And handsome, too.

The other funny boys
wanted to be stand-up comedians -

- and they would tease Lasse -

- saying he would never be one.

Of course, Lasse knew
that they were just jealous.

And it turned out that
the loud and obnoxious "funny" boys -

- desperately tried to get Lasse's attention
and would beg him for points.

Because you see,
Lasse had become our Taskmaster.

Can I just ask -

- the room was quiet when I read that.

Was it that exciting,
or just really unfunny?

It was very exciting. And funny.

And sleep-inducing.

It only met two of the three basic rules -

Write, illustrate?

I illustrated the story with body language.

- and it was read. But no drawings.

I was so happy with the story
that I'll let you illustrate a bit now.

Here's a pad and utensils.

Drawing the handsome, funny Lasse
would be great -

- but it's up to you.

Draw one illustration
while we hear the rest of the stories.

Let's hear Melvin's story.
Go on.

This story is about three people.

Ole, who had no facial expressions.

Focaccia, who's taking a walk in the forest.

She meets the evil Preben -

- and tragedy ensues -

- because Preben can't keep his hands to himself.

But Ole intervenes.

He says to Preben
"What do you think you're doing?"

Drama.

Ole calls the police.

Focaccia is so happy that she asks Ole out.

They are served warm beets.

So they get married -

- and finally, Ole gets his smile back.

But everyday life takes its toll -

- so before long, he's lost his facial expressions again.

But as Ole says to this day -

"Happy wife, happy life."

Ladies and gentlemen, that's the way it is.

Melvin, you've never
told a bedtime story before, right?

I've heard a lot of them.

How many of them featured
Ole, Preben, and Focaccia?

Where I'm from,
those are really common names.

It had a happy ending
for one of the protagonists.

What happened to Preben?

He's serving his sentence
in a very nice prison.

He's not doing great in that picture.

I don't know why those are gangsters.

It' like ... what's up?

This is how the police looks over here.

It's an undercover cop, right?

Thank you, Melvin. Who's next?

Let's see Sofie's.

This is the story of Unfortunate Ulrik.

There were only
a couple of things in his life -

- that he would remember fondly.

There was the time his dad gave him a dog -

- and the time he married Gitte.

But for Ulrik, happiness never lasted long.

Six hours after he got the dog, it died
along with his parents in an accident.

Gitte took off on their wedding day
with the catering guy.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang -

- it was a fairy.

"You get one wish"

He wished for unlimited money,
and he got it.

But his fortunes never changed for the better.

Money never makes you happy.

Live your life so that
you're not embarrassed -

- to sell your parrot
to the town gossipmonger.

Words to live by.

The end!

Think about it.

She used to host a show for kids!

I'll say this, Sofie -

- the moral of the story
arrives out the blue.

I had to dig deep there.

I think ...

I feel like the audience is saying -

- "Oh, I get it now."

Thank you, a nice and quite calming story.

Let's have another one,
I'm into it now.

Thomas Warberg.

Jørgen had to get a loan
to buy a new car.

Nice red one.

"We have many exciting options",
said the beautiful bank lady.

If you choose a
fixed-rate mortgage revenue bond,

- you'll do well to pick
our F4 financing option -

- which is only renegotiated
every nine financial quarters.

"..." said Jørgen.

"That was not very exciting."

"If you choose a high interest rate,
it can get a little more exciting" -

- said the bank lady -

- and unbuttoned her top button.

And so it happened that Jørgen had
the most exciting bank meeting of his life.

Meeting room occupied.

So he died under a mountain of debt at 64.

Thanks for nothing.

Dead from herpes,
that's important to mention.

You know, from the meeting.

Gone right through his jeans.
The fluids.

Sleep tight.

I have -

- almost as many questions
for you as for Sofie.

First off, what is that bowling ball -

- next to the chart.

A button!

"... more exciting..."
and she unbuttoned a button.

Unbuttoned it.

It's a bedtime-story for adults,
that they relate to -

- like bank loans, interest rates -

- then add some excitement to the dullness.

When I'm in my bank, I'll sometimes go -

"How long have I been here?"

So I spiced it up -

- she seduces him to choose the bad loan.

In return for a few moments of happiness
in meeting room 4.

And a nasty STD.

Exactly, protection is so important.

To the young people out there -

- watch out for payday loans.

Four out of five. Still one to go.

Jacob Taarnhøj's last.

Jacob moves to the big city.

Jacob works as a stand-up comedian.

"Off-color", he says.

The audience likes that kind of thing.

It's going well, so he has to
move to Copenhagen. TV wants him.

"It's the off-color guy!"

He works nights on stand-up and TV,
so he comes home late.

He needs a place to sleep -

- for the 8 hours recommended by
[health guru] Chris MacDonald.

Oh, no. Jacob's neighbors -

- are renovating their kitchen every morning.

Now Jacob wakes up during REM sleep.

Jacob's shows suffer.

Jacob moves to a new place. But, oh no!

There's a church bell tower next door.

It wakes up Jacob early in the morning.

Jacob gets an idea.

"Where have I always been able to sleep?" -

- he asks himself.

In the church.

"Jacob moves to the big city"
is part of a series of books:

"Jacob drops out of architectural college",

and "Jacob loses his unemployment benefits".

I'm realizing that -

- when it comes to the criterion of -

- "read your story" -

- you have a great voice for that.

Right?
He really does.

Thank you very much.

Look out, here come the points.

First, let's see the drawing.

I'm under pressure.

I've drawn the protagonist.

Look at it like a piece of art.

Turn it around to show it.

That's nice.

Thanks for the illustration. Now for the points.

Despite the explanation,
1 point for Melvin.

Too much herpes, 2 points for Warberg.

Sofie, it's hard to fall asleep
after the death of a puppy. 3 points.

I love being pandered to,
4 points for Stephania.

And for an excellent bedtime story
that ends with you falling asleep -

- Jacob Taarnhøj gets 5 points.

What has that done to the overall score,
Mark Le Fêvre?

Stephania in the lead,
Taarnhøj a close second.

There's just 2 points in it.

This show has been
a rollercoaster ride so far.

We're up, we're down.
Let's get up again.

Something as powerful
as a horse kicking your uvula.

We're talking citrus?
Right.

There are lemons.

Make the highest tower.

You may only use what's in the bowl.

Can I use the bowl?

Consult the task.

"... what's in the bowl."

Nothing but lemons.

That's an ethical question.

Is the bowl in the bowl?

Is that ethical?

You may make a maximum of
5 cuts with the knife.

You have 10 minutes.
Your time starts now.

What if I put them on my head?

Stephania, what was that about your head?

I don't know.

Maybe we need to refresh your memory.

First, let's go over the rules.

It's very simple -

- I have so much lemon juice in my mouth -

- make the highest tower
using what's in the bowl.

A maximum of 5 cuts with the knife.

10 minutes.

We measure your lemon tower -

- using the standard
lemon tower measurement.

From the bottom lemon to the top lemon.
Standard method for lemon towers.

Let's see some towers.
Okay.

Quite a low tower.

Now I cut it!
That's one cut.

That's two cuts already. Dammit.

Doesn't say you can't use your hand to cut.

But, like, biting is okay, right?

I'm such an idiot, I can just ...

No, don't do that, lemons.

40 seconds left.
40 seconds left?!

20 seconds left.

Measure it, Mark.

Time's up.

Measure it, Mark. Now!

8 seconds.

Mark, measure it.
I'm ready. Hurry.

18 cm.

Wow. Oh, that.

My mouth is all fucked up.

I mean all fucked up.

By ...
Lemon juice.

Right.

Nothing else.
No.

Remember the moment you said -

- "I'll just bite the lemons"?

I do, it was -

- back when I had tooth enamel.

It was a different time.

I can almost taste the lemon
when I see someone bite into it.

That's how I feel.

Sofie, you bit a lot of lemons, too.

Yes.

This is a terrible episode for me.

Melvin just asked me -

- "How long before you found them?"

I said "Found what?"

Then he said "Never mind."

So I have a feeling that -

- that Jacob and I missed something.

There was a whole room full of lamps.

I didn't even go in there.

But it's a good question,
"Did you find them?"

Find what?

If only there was something to find.
If only.

It's just galling, discussing
"Who found them?" like that.

Let's see what they're talking about.
What have I hidden?

Let's see if there was something useful.

That's the bottom, right?

Can you help med peel them?

Well.
You can. Get over here.

It's a very hostile fruit.

Oh, no.

What if I want to make my tower here?

Would squeezing help?

Because they're very wet.

Maybe it's about making a ...

Mark, I'm panicking!

Oh dear.

Mark, I need you to measure -

- but not now.

Make the cuts just for fun.

My tower will be the funniest.

I'll leave it there.

Don't mention it.
You're welcome. Or ...

Time's up.
I know!

It was there for a second.

I didn't see those.

Oh, the toothpicks?
Toothpicks, huh?

They wouldn't have made a difference.

No, how could they possibly help?

Mark, show me someone
who finds the toothpicks.

Melvin found them.
But did they help him?

Are you okay?

No.

I'm on the verge of crying.

How much time?
2 minutes 30 seconds.

If I had a stick,
I could put it through them.

That would be very good.

Do you have a stick?

No, not on me.

Come over here.

Where do I hold?
Here.

43 seconds.

It's not through yet.

That's it.
Was it tricky?

No! You're kidding!

What's up, Melvin?

You're kidding me!

14 seconds.

No, no, no.

8 seconds.
No!

Time's up.

Come on!

You know when you -

- I felt just like that in my math exam -

- I solved the equation
5 minutes before the end -

- with no time to explain it.

I panicked, I was in stress mode.

I thought you seemed really calm.

I almost wish I hadn't found them.

I was doing okay until then -

- or so I thought at the time. Not now.

The task was about a tower.

A tower is free-standing.

Stephania, yours was not a tower.

It was a sad penis stack.

Or not?

It did resemble a penis, yes.

Fair enough. Disqualified. Zero points.

How did the others do?

Warberg, 6 cm tower, 2 points.

Sofie, 7 cm tower, 3 points.

Melvin, 9 cm tower, 4 points.

Taarnhøj, 18 cm tower, 5 points.

Listen, you get your points -

- but none of you built a tower taller
than the original pile of lemons.

You lowered the height of the lemon pile.
Great job.

What has that done to the scores?
The leader is -

- Taarnhøj with 15 points.

For three of you, it's very much
not all to play for.

But you will all play the final round.

Now they go head-to-head in
the last chance to score points tonight -

What's the task, Mark Le Fêvre?

Sofie Linde, please read it.

I'd love to.
Especially now that I can't win.

Get your swim ring as high as possible -

- thanks, it's performance anxiety -

Hold hands with the people next to you
during the task.

Highest swim ring after 100 seconds wins.

If your swim ring is airborne
after 100 seconds -

- its height will be measured
after it lands.

Let's make sure you know your swim rings.

Stephania, your swim ring is
yellow with green tape.

Jacob Taarnhøj, take a wild guess.
Blue swim ring with green tape.

And so on.

To be fair, the contestants at the ends
need someone to hold hands with.

Can I go?
Sure.

I'll be at the other end.

But how will I pick up my swim ring?

The task is to get your swim ring
as high as possible -

- after exactly 100 seconds.

If the swim ring is airborne,
we'll wait for it to land.

Okay, so we can't just throw it,
it has to stay there?

Yes, if it's floating after 100 seconds,
we'll wait for it to land.

I'll think about it.

Is it measured from the stage
or the floor?

Or from China?

Where it lands!

100 seconds starting now!

Someone in the front row, take mine!

Take it! One of you!

Take this!

Take it! The orange one!

Come on, take it!

You're just watching!

Unbelievable!

How much time?

3, 2, 1!

We've learned one thing -

- the entire front row
hates Thomas Warberg -

- but the balcony loves Melvin!

Let's have some points.

1 point for Thomas Warberg.

2 points for Jacob Taarnhøj.

3 points for Stephania.

Just because Sofie's taller than me?
Yes, 4 points for being taller.

5 points for Melvin
with a very high swim ring.

Who will take home tonight's prize item -

- Stephania Potalivo's asthma inhaler?

That's the question. It's -

Jacob Taarnhøj!

A quick spray of medicine
in the maw of the wrong patient -

- is the outcome of tonight's Taskmaster.

With a bit of luck, we'll still have
five contestants next week.

Thank you and goodnight.
