   Well, the very first finns picked from the audience were Lauri Nurkse, a   
   somewhat popular actor and Heikki Paasonen, the host of Finnish Idol.   
   They were not the first finns in the show by any means, but the first to   
   be shown. After that there was a guy I know in real life and a guy who   
   writes a finnish weblog, he told many interesting things about what goes   
   on in the show when the cameras are off. So, based on these examples the   
   finns are really finns.
