It was not an easy match for the artist Jason “Timbuktu” Diakite and star chef Marcus Samuelsson in Friday’s episode of “På Spåret” in SVT.
In the end, it was a clear loss for the duo, who were forced to leave the show.
Ended up at an early disadvantage
For the second year in a row, Jason “Timbuktu” Diakité, 48, and Marcus Samuelsson, 51, competed together in the hit series “På spåret”.
But the artist and star chef did not manage to excel like last year when they claimed two group stage victories which later ended in the semi-finals.
Instead, they fell in last week’s program by one point against Marit Bergman and Karin Bojs. In Friday’s programme, when they faced the previous winners; the journalist Johan Bendjelloul47, and the comedian Josephine Johansson40, it became difficult again.
Jason Diakité and Marcus Samuelsson ended up at an early disadvantage. Their fall was ultimately a miss on a music question that could have saved their place in the competition.
Marcus Samuelsson: “Feels so damn…”
Van Halen with the song “Jump” both cages managed to answer correctly. But when it came to which band was hiding inside the song, it was another five.
The correct answer was “Foo fighters”.
– Uuuuuuh, Marcus Samuelsson sighs loudly when he hears the correct answer from the other team.
A little later in the program, he explains why it turned out the way it did:
– Last year when I was here, a week later I cooked for the Foo Fighters, talked to the whole band, not to put it now, it feels so damn…, says the star chef.
The judge Fredrik Lindström took advantage of the situation and saw his chance to poke Marcus Samuelsson.
– If there are some you haven’t cooked for or had dinner with in the world elite of stars, it starts to be difficult. Is there anyone?, he asks.
– No, replies Marcus Samuelsson confidently.
Fredrik Lindström asks if Marcus Samuelsson had dinner with Barbara Streisand, to which he replies:
– No, but it’s worse if you get that question and can’t answer it.
– I got you there! says Fredrik Lindström jokingly.
The competition ended with 38-29 to Johan Bendjelloul and Josefin Johansson.
