Gilmário tries to fill a cup with tears

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Gilmário grabs some onions from the kitchen, and makes small cuts in them to try to tear up; it takes a while, but eventually Gilmário starts to tear up. Unfortunately, he doesn’t produce enough of a tear to catch in the spoon. Nuno suggests sad music, and plays some instrumental music from Titanic. Gilmário waves the chopped onions near his eyes to try to elicit some tears, and requests that Nuno play a specific song: A Minha Velha ['My Old Mother'] by Paulo Flores, and he sings along with it. Gilmário sheds one tear, and comes second.
