Watch Olen Julkkis... Päästäkää Minut Pois! Season 08 -
As the season progressed, alliances began to form and tempers started to fray. Sanna Vasama quickly became known as the "Jungle Queen" due to her resourcefulness and positive attitude. However, not everyone was as fortunate; Mikko Mäkelä struggled with the harsh conditions and was the first to be voted off, much to the surprise of the other contestants.
The season concluded with Riikka Sahlman facing off against a mystery opponent, a well-known Finnish TV presenter who had been living in the wilderness for weeks. The final challenge was a survival cook-off, where both competitors had to prepare a meal using ingredients found in the jungle. Riikka Sahlman's dish impressed the judges, making her the winner of Season 8 of "Watch olen julkkis... päästäkää minut pois!".
