Watch Olen Julkkis... Päästäkää Minut Pois! Season 19 |verified| May 2026

The production team outdid themselves with the trials this season. “The Crypt of Forgotten Hits” forced contestants to crawl through a tunnel filled with cold porridge while identifying 90s Eurodance tracks. “The Sauna of No Return” (a clever Finnish twist) involved sitting in a 70-degree sauna while leeches were dropped onto their shoulders.

The tension was immediate. The influencer, Lotta, declared on day one that she would “hack the bushtucker trials” by refusing to participate—a strategy that backfired spectacularly when the camp’s food rations were reduced to a single spoonful of rice per person. The wrestler, Marko, responded with a 20-minute monologue about “Sisu” that became an instant meme. watch olen julkkis... päästäkää minut pois! season 19

His win felt less like a reality TV coronation and more like a national exhale—a reminder that in a world of manufactured outrage, quiet competence still resonates. The production team outdid themselves with the trials

But the defining moment of Season 19 came in Episode 8: “The Rat King’s Larder.” Contestant Juhani, the mild-mannered radio host, was tasked with retrieving stars from a pit filled with 10,000 cockroaches and a single, enormous, completely unfazed rat named Olavi. Juhani, who had previously admitted to a phobia of rodents, did not scream. He did not cry. Instead, he began negotiating with the rat in a calm, conversational Finnish. “Olavi, you don’t want this star,” he said. “It’s plastic. Let’s talk.” For twelve minutes, the nation watched a middle-aged man try to reason with a rat. He did not get the star, but he won the public’s heart forever. The tension was immediate

★★★★☆ (4/5) – A slow start, but once the hunger sets in, it’s hypnotic.

Every great season hinges on casting, and Season 19 delivered a brilliant dichotomy. On one side, we had the legacy celebrities: a beloved 90s pop star whose last hit came before most of the TikTok audience was born, a retired Olympic wrestler with a legendary temper, and a veteran soap opera actress known for her imperious off-screen persona. On the other side, the new blood : a controversial influencer whose entire brand is “unfiltered chaos,” a reality TV veteran from Selviytyjät Suomi , and a radio host famous for his cynical, metropolitan wit.
