Didrik Solli - Tangen in - 71 ° North - Norway's toughest celebrity -. ep. 8

TS: Good morning, and welcome to Senja. All: Thanks! TS: Didrik, what kind of leg would you like to have today? D: Something with altitude perhaps. TS: It might be you get that, but first and foremost you will operate as one united group. D: Yeah! GN: Yes! D: Great! TS: That mountain top is called Segla. You are going to climb it, but you are not going to take the easiest route. OEA: Looks easy. TS: It's going to be high, and very airy, but also totally awesome! TS: All who manage to go all the way to the top, will get to enjoy a 3 course dinner at Hamn in Senja. You will also be given the opportunity to upgrade that prize - along the way - by answering questions. TS: You will find the climbing gear that you will need right down there. Here you have the description of the leg, a map and a compass. Have a nice trip, and good luck! D: Thanks! OEA: ... a wooden hot tub outdoors, with a beer on the side. D: Listen to me. Last time; what was it, the upgrading of the camp? OEA: ... shrimp sandwiches. EB: We came to the camp in Oppdal... D: What did they use as at table there? SIB: We have not even walked 15 metres, and you have already started to talk about the prize. SIB: We are going up that wall. OEA: What we are wondering about is what a upgrading of the prize is, considering we will be given questions as we go. The questions will come no matter what. SIB: And those you will have to answer correctly. OEA: Yes. That is what we are talking about. GN: I think it is fun to speculate about what we can get. EB: Speculate until we start to work, and then we will work. GN: We will do our work when we get it. - The road is the goal. - That is true. EB: The only thing that is in Stig's mind now is "20:00". Before 20:00. EB: Upgrading of the prize; a wooden hot tub. OEA: What did I say? OEA: Does it say if it comes with a beer on the edge? SIB : No, that will be on the next point. OEA: How many countries does Troms county have a border to? EB: Troms? - One or two. EB: Finland, Sweden - At least Finland and Sweden. - Russia. EB: Not Russia. GN: It's Finland and Sweden. Kippisjärvi. EB: We have to bring it along with us. OEA: We have to write it. I have a pen here. Hold this for a little while. OEA: Should we write 2 then? EB: Are we completely sure? GN: I have been in Kippisjärvi., and there you can stand in all 3 countries at once. OEA: I'm pretty sure that it is 3 countries; I mean at least Sweden and Finland. But how far north does it go? Not as far as to Russia? EB: The Russian border is in FINNMARK. So it can't be. - No, it's 2 countries. EB: But what about Denmark? D: Norway doesn't count. EB: How many countries does Troms county have a border to? D: Norway doesn't count. EB: I'll write "2". - Write "2". - Let's see how pretty you can write the number "2". - Now you wrote 2nd. EB: Will that give us a hot tub? GN: This will give us a hot tub. It smells like hot tub a long way. OEA: I hope we have answered correctly. OEA: Where do we put this one? EB: I can almost hear Stiansen in the background: "The team has answered incorrectly on the first task, and will therefore not get a hot tub". OEA: Another upgrade: Breakfast. OEA: Junior? D: So you want me to open that one? I won't run down to the previous point. Just saying. D: That was very good, absolutely super. D: Let's see: In the 4th book in the 6 volume novel "Min kamp" the plot is from Fjordgård. What is the name of the writer? GN and SIB: Karl Ove Knausgård. D: Yeeeees. OEA: Then that is what we'll write. GN: It was simply here. SIB: Here, yes. GN: ...about that book yesterday, Stig Inge and I, so that suited well. D: What did you say his name was? - Karl Ove Knausgård. D: With a "C" or a "K"? - With "K". D: With "AA"? - Yes. D: Uh?- Yes. EB: That is not important. OEA: They will understand who we mean. - Yay! Up into the mountains! TS/Voiceover: The participants will climb in pairs, but because they are 5, Didrik will have to climb on his own. D: It has been nice to get to know you, guys. This has been a nice trip! Let's hope we will meet at the summit. - Bye, Didrik! D: I have to move on. - We believe in you! D: That's good! D: Now I simply put on the "juma-juma-yay" irons. Those will, in a way, help me to climb. Without these, I wouldn’t have much to do here. Right now I am comfortable, but we will see as I climb how things will develop. I have this one, and that is reassuring, because I know I will always be able to get down again. - Good work, Didrik! - Is it tough? D: It's okay. D: Since I climb on my own, I can be in charge of my own speed, so I climb in stages. I climb a bit, and then I take a little break and enjoy the view, wave to the others and...This is a very nice experience. SIB: He is well underway, but it is intense. Indeed. D: Ah, ***, this is enough. Really. It's very fun, but very exhausting. It's a long way down. D: I think I will take a small break here, to put it that way. This was exhausting. - Are you okay? D: It's wonderful to be at the top now. I think I'm not fully capable of expressing how wonderful it is. It has been a nice trip - really nice - airy and.... and everything. I'm very content with the trip, so now I just have to wait for the others. D: It feels like a victory, in a way. Still it's okay with rain, I don't know why. It's a victory to reach the top, and then it doesn't matter if it's raining - at least when it is like it's right now. D: It's weird to look down at seagulls... Strange feeling. D: It's so cocky: "It's not far now!" D: Congratulations! OEA: Congrats, yourself! You are a real madman! You are not afraid of anything, you simply climb on. D: It was damned exhausting. OEA: Somersault and everything. OEA: Thanks for the company, Stig. SIB: Same to you, Ole Edvard. It was a pleasure to climb with you. OEA: Yes, now we have shared an adventure. D: Congratulations, Stig! SIB: Same to you, Didrik. D: It's great to be at the top. Now it is... If Gustav and the rest are here in 20-25 minutes, we have 4... OEA: 3 hours. D: Yes, 3 hours. We can manage with that. D: I will never forget this view. OEA; It's beautiful, for sure. SIB: Look at the sea - the wind on it. D: It tastes extra good to stand here after we have climbed for so long. OEA: It does. D: It is all about having to work for the food, so to speak. OE: Good job! SI: Proud of you. SI: Well done! New team victory. We've got just enough time. Well done, we have time to eat before we go on. S: Are you ok, Gustav? G: 3 course meal! G: Yes, but it's dreadfully slippery here! E: The rope is nasty. G: The rope is dreadful! E: Haven't had use for the foot chain at all. D: Haven't had use for sunglasses, hey? E: Haven't used the foot chain. Just pulled myself up with my arms. It hurts. Gustav hasn't used it either. D: I can imagine Espen pulling himself and Gustav up there! G: Well done, Espen. E: Likewise. - What time is it, guys? Did we reach the goal? T: Hello guys, welcome! - Thank you. T: How did it go? Did all of you get to the top? - Yesss. T: Good T: You can trade breakfast for beds, on one condition: that Norway's own Didrik Solli-Tangen sings "My hard is yours" in the hottub while Ole Edvard Antonsen plays the trumpet. -All right then. T: No, no, don't worry. You don't have to do that. But the reason why you can trade this, is because I am so happy that Gustav and Ole Edvard have got rid of their fear of heights. G: Great! T: So now you'll be taken to Hamn in Senja where you can rest and relax, and tomorrow is another free-card competition. D: How great, Gustav! G: Great that my fear of heights could be used to something useful! D: Now we are so close to Nordkapp, it would be really bad to quit now. T: Morning guys! All: Mornings! T: Slept well? - Yes. T: So you appreciated your prize last night? - Very much! T: When you see this, are you excited to find out what kind of free-card competition it is today? T: I can put it this way - I am glad there are no pregnant participants today, because we'll have high voltage. You need a steady hand and not let anything affect you. T: The competition involves leading a hook along a live wired tube without getting shocked. The one to get the most shocks has to go to a duel afterwards. If two or more gets an equal amount of shocks, time will decide. The current flows pulsating through the tube, so with a bit of luck you can touch the tube without getting shocked. For the current to have effect, the participants have to be barefoot. D: I am worried about this free card competition. Electric current is not my favourite. My brother has tricked me a few times with some kind of shock-pen and I jump just as much each time. I just have to do my best not to get shocked. T: I think you look nervous, Didrik? D: Yes damn it. T: Good luck! D: Thanks T: Ready, steady, go! T: Just put it nicely down. D: Hell ***! You did feel that! Hell - it made me just jump! D: I am really relieved that I am done, to put it that way! When I got that shock, I thought ... no, I didn't think, it's just - I thought I jumped half a metre above ground and screamed, because it hits so unexpectedly! Really weird experience, I felt it in the entire body! I thought like you'd feel it in the arm or something, but CHINGGGGG in the entire body - I jumped, goddammit! T: When there is one competitor left, Didrik is in the lead to win the free card while Espen has got four shocks and is close to end up in a duel. Last competitor is Stig Inge. T: Stig Inge, so far Didrik is in the lead with Espen is last with four shocks, so you know what you have to do. T: Ready? SI: Yes. T: Ready, steady, go! SI: Done. T: Didrik, congratulations! D: Yeeaaah! T: Well done! D: Finally!
