Episode 3: Tom Waes

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most unusual item, empty a bathtub, score 11 points, gain the most weight, and separate the blue sweets while wearing boxing gloves. Also, one lucky contestant gets to transfer money into the Taskmaster's bank account.

Taskmaster Intro

Welcome! My name is Gert, and this is Het Grootste Licht. In this programme, five helpless celebrities are performing tasks that I have set out and, in the end, nobody wins. This is pretty similar to a strike: nobody really knows why it is happening, and the company that pays us only loses a lot of money. Anyway, with faked enthusiasm, I'll introduce you to our contestants.

Contestant Intros

The former leading lady of public television, but now she has to take this job at this commercial TV station. We all have to adapt to make ends meet... Well, maybe not all of us. It's the inimitable Frieda van Wijck!

Our second guest can be found in a lot of different places, but mostly in jumble sales: Sven de Ridder!

A very loud adolescent who has to keep her hormones under control tonight. Meet Olga Leyers, the hippest teenager in town.

Our fourth guest has been called the Tom Waes of the second-hand store: Guga Baùl.

Sometimes called Tom Waes: the one and only Tom Waes.

Assistant Intro

Me, I am not only big in size, but also big in being grand. So, I have a personal assistant who can shine in my godlike shadow. And thus, I give her the opportunities to become a better person. In exchange I ask only one thing from her: everything! Please give a big welcome to my assistant, Ruth Beekmans!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

I have one more message for Tom: I have sent the 200 euro you transferred to me to UNICEF, the charity to which you are godfather. Don't thank me; you're welcome.

Note: The 200 euros Gert is referencing is the money Tom transfers to him during his special solo task. Tom Waes serves as an Ambassador for UNICEF.
