Episode 8: Stefaan Degand

Episode synopsis

In this season finale, the contestants must bring in the most beautiful item, make a block of ice disappear, draw an image using a GPS device, list and then mime some animals, and throw rabbits into their hat.

Taskmaster Intro

Welcome! I am Gert Verhulst, and this is Het Grootste Licht. I have made five famous Flemish perform a series of useless tasks in my house. They themselves don't know how each of them did, and I don't know how they did either. We'll all find out together, like in one big happy family, of which I am the patriarch. So what I say goes, and at the end I'll personally appoint a winner. He or she will then be 'The Brightest Light' for one whole week. With an amount of energy that I last felt during an epileptic seizure, I'd happily like to introduce our contestants.

Contestant Intros

The first is an absolute woman of class: she can speak 5 languages, had a storied career in journalism, and she's seen nearly the entire world. And she's here tonight, on the VTM: Frieda van Wijck!

Note: VTM is the commercial Flemish TV channel on which Het Grootste Licht was broadcast.

The second is a man in the best shape of his life. Which is mainly because he recently had to run away a lot from Pokémon-trainers: Sven de Ridder!

Her boisterously sexy laughter instantly lights a fire in the hearts of men, because it instinctively makes them leap into the nearest fire: the beautiful Olga Leyers!

The fourth's actual name is Laurent Bailleu and, because that name wasn't ridiculous enough already, he goes by: Guga Baúl!

Note: This is true; his full name is Laurent Gaëtan Bailleul.

And finally, our rotating guest for the evening. Some actors are often considered slightly mad, but in this case we can be sure: the one and only Stefaan Degand!

Assistant Intro

And as is fitting for every great leader, I too employ a willing servant to do my dirty work. So I'm basically Saint Nicolas, except my servant doesn't actually fit down a chimney. Here's the amazing Ruth Beeckmans!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Remember: if you go for a swim in the sea, and you hear “Ah ya! Ah ya!”, then swim for your life.
