Episodes Fix | New Olen Julkkis... Päästäkää Minut Pois!

The episode spends twenty minutes building to this trial. Jere warms up with deep guttural roars. Linda does vocal scales. When they finally face off, Linda unleashes a soprano shriek that cracks two of the three glass jars on the judges’ table. She wins. Jere, defeated, must do the Bush Tucker Trial: eating fermented herring guts while blindfolded. He vomits. He cries. He yells "Päästäkää minut pois!" before the trial even starts. The editors freeze-frame on his vomit-stained face. It becomes a meme. Finns love their sauna. This episode weaponized that love. After a month in the jungle, the remaining four celebrities are promised a "luxury reward": a real, wood-fired Finnish sauna built deep in the bush. The catch? It’s a fake-out.

The show’s title has become a national catchphrase. Finns yell it when stuck in traffic, when their computer crashes, or during family gatherings. And each iconic episode adds another layer to the legend. Whether it’s Sointu’s spider-soaked revenge, Linda’s glass-shattering shriek, or the great sauna betrayal, these episodes remind us that there is no greater reality TV drama than watching famous people realize—often too late—that they are not as tough as they thought.

The episode begins with pure joy. The celebrities—retired hockey goalie Petri, soap opera star Noora, comedian Kalle, and fitness influencer Sonja—strip down and steam. The camera captures bliss. Then the lights flicker. The temperature, controlled by the producers, begins to rise. 80°C… 90°C… 100°C. A recorded voice announces: "To earn your dinner, one of you must stay inside for ten minutes. The others may leave. But if you leave, you nominate the person who stays." new olen julkkis... päästäkää minut pois! episodes

The winner? No one. The sauna door is opened from the outside after seven minutes due to safety concerns. But the damage is done. That night, around the campfire, accusations fly. Petri accuses Noora of being a "sauna deserter." Noora accuses Petri of faking a heart condition. The episode ends with all four refusing to sleep in the same shelter. The next day, three of them quit. Only Kalle remains. The episode title card reads: "No winners. Only steam." In the pantheon of petty reality TV crimes, this episode sits on the throne. The camp has run out of toilet paper. They’ve been using large leaves and, in one dark incident, a sock. A delivery box arrives with one roll—a single, precious roll. It is placed on a stump in the middle of camp as a "communal resource."

The episode opens with a trial called "The Tomb of Terrors." The public votes for Sointu to face it. Her task is simple: lie in a sealed, dark coffin while hundreds of Huntsman spiders, mealworms, and one tarantula (named "Kullervo" by the producers) are poured in. She must last five minutes.

Within four hours, it is gone.

The argument starts when Jere eats two-thirds of the pâté instead of the rationed one-third. Linda calls him a "sybaritic goblin." Jere responds by calling her song "sonic porridge." Then comes the twist: the next immunity trial is a "Battle of the Banshees"—a screaming contest judged by decibel meter. When they finally face off, Linda unleashes a

The interrogation scene is legendary. Maria cries. Teemu laughs nervously. Elina meditates. Then, a twist: a production assistant finds the empty cardboard tube inside Teemu’s backpack. But Teemu swears he was framed. "Look at the angle of the footage!" he yells. "I’m left-handed! The thief used their right hand!"
