Even tonight's guessing game would prove to be difficult. Of the four contestants, it was Porcelain Doll and Racing Fox who got the most votes and made it to a "winner's battle", where the advantage of getting to choose their quarterfinal opponent was at stake.

Porcelain Doll won with her acclaimed version of Carola's "Captured in a Storm Wind".

In the loser's duel between Maypole and Forest Giant, it was the latter who drew the longest straw, which means Maypole had to take off their mask.

The panel had consistently been on sport references like Henrik Lundqvist, Jonas Björkman, Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson, and Magnus Hedman, but in the last second, Måns Zelmerlöw threw in a new name: Mikael "Soldier Doctor" Sandström.

And indeed, it was the doctor, TV4 profile, and former Robinson participant who was hiding under the straw hat.

It's a step outside my comfort zone and I've felt like an idiot many times, but it's been a very valuable journey, says Mikael Sandström about his participation in the program.
