Alt for Norge

Etter fem uker med varierende norsk vintervær har solen endelig bestemt seg for å skinne på de åtte gjenværende deltagerne. Badet i strålende sol i Nord-Norge er den arktiske naturen på sitt mest spektakulære, og deltagerne er lamslåtte. På land finner de sekker med utstyr, og overraskelsen er stor når det viser seg at sekken inneholder vikingklær. Endelig skal de få leve ut vikingdrømmen de har hatt siden de var små.

Etter fire uker i Norge skal de ni gjenværende norsk-amerikanerne endelig få oppleve hovedstaden vår, Oslo. De har allerede fått oppleve noe av den flotteste naturen Norge har å by på og forventer nå noen urbane dager i storbyen. Men den gang ei. Kampen for å møte sin norske slekt fortsetter nemlig i naturbyen Oslo, og marka, ulv og nakenhet står på menyen.

Eight Norwegian Americans remain in the competition to win a meeting with their Norwegian relatives. This week the Americans are heading to northern Norway, specifically the fishing village Kjerringøy , close to Bodø. Here they will learn about how the Norwegians live at the long, tough and harsh Norwegian coast.

Sunnmøre, the remaining Norwegian-Americans live the Norwegian everyday - and working life. "Råning" - "showing of your weels" and grandiosa baking is on the list. In addition, participants stays with Norwegian families, and strong ties are linked to the host families. Worse is it when the losing team must keep in mind what is the common Bread Spread for the Norwegian "matpakke" - "lunch".

The Americans has arrived to Oslo , They are equipped with maps and cameras, given the task of finding five different tourist attractions, indicated by cryptic clues. They must be getting in touch with locals so they don't end on the wrong track.

This week the Americans goes to one oil rig in the North sea to learn about Norwegian exports. They are however shocked when they find out what music genre we're big on in Norway.

It gets serious when Norwegian-Americans are going to an old-fashioned "Hyttetur" (Cabin). After last week's competitions ,one of them must go back to the U.S. empty-handed. Among this week's challenges are "Hyttepakking" (packing the car), biathlon with Halvard Hanevold and accommodation with outhouse, which turns out to be a problem for Americans who are used to "inneliv" (stay indoors)

In the first program participants gathered at Ellis Island in New York before leaving for Norway, and the Americans are going to Norway in exactly the same way as their ancestors left the country: By boat! It gets emotional when Norwegian-Americans sailing to Halden and put their feet's on Norwegian soil for the very first time.
