Håvard Lilleheie and Randi Liodden against Alexander Sandtorv and Jenny Jenssen. A cohabiting team against a team that does not know each other, but both are new to this tournament, which this time consists of two pools of eight teams fighting for a place in the quarter-finals. The season opens with, among other things, the classic "The Iron Curtain" and the brand new task "Tautrekking".
