In this segment we learn about even more things to do with ordinary mouthwash.

We're at the bivio or crossroads part of the game, and some contestants are either very close to being eliminated or are indeed eliminated. There's always something new to learn on this quiz show.

Contestants are quizzed on the latest Korean plastic surgery trend and on a Christmas legend.

Carlo quizzes the remaining contestants on geography, beverages, music, and a word in the dictionary compiled by the famous Crusca Academy in Florence.

Lara is the finalist and this is the "guillotine" part of the game. The last time she was with Carlo is when she was in the running for Miss Italy.

Lara gets a chance to explain why she chose the word she chose and how she connected the five words given to her.

Here we go with a new series with Anna and Marika. Each video will feature an oral quiz — just like in actual Italian schools — about a region of Italy. A separate cooking video will feature a recipe from that region. We start in the "heel of the boot": Puglia.

Anna gets grilled on Sicily by Marika. Oral quizzes are very frequently used in Italian schools. Grading is done on a scale from 1-10 for primary and secondary schools, and from 1-30 at the university level.

Anna and Marika are going to make a delicious recipe from Puglia. They explain what panzerotti are and the necessary ingredients and utensils for making them.

Anna and Marika complete the recipe and the resulting “panzerotti” look mouth-wateringly delicious.

In this video Anna and Marika show us how to cook the famous pasta dish named after the opera Norma by Vincenzo Bellini. The ingredients are few and simple, but there are some norms to stick with. ;)

Marika completes the recipe for "pasta alla Norma," and serves it up. It's evident that Anna thinks it's real good, too. In fact, she describes it as troppo buono (too good), a typical colloquial way to say "very, very good."

Anna is quizzed on Sardinia and can easily identify the capital and its major cities, its nuraghes (characteristic low towers), its cantu a tenore (traditional singing), but comes up short on providing the name of a typical Sardinian dish.

Marika and Anna assemble the ingredients and utensils to make this Sardinian speciality that's similar to ravioli.

In this phase, Marika and Anna roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. They start making the dough by hand, and are very excited about using their new pasta machine.
