Tonight in "Taskmaster" you can see how Frieda empties a bathtub
"You can suck until you're crazy"
Tom and Sven have forgotten how to play squash
And how Guga almost breaks a scale.
And all of that, just to please this one man
Welcome! My name is Gert and this is "The Greatest Light"
In this program 5 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.
First: we have 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.
Here is 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
Then we have 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 Baul.
And the fifth is sometimes called Tom Waes: the one and only Tom Waes.
Welcome everybody.
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!
Big welcome for my assistant: Ruth Beekmans.
The TV station had no more money to buy some prize for the winner
Which was to be expected of course.
Can you explain how we solved that situation?
- We solved this by coming up with a prize-task.
All contestants bring in one of their own objects that can serve as prize for the winner.
And this week You asked them to bring in their most unusual object,
the strangest thing,
the weirdest object they had in their homes.
I am curious!
Frieda, surprise us
Oh, what is that? Wait...
Sven, what do you think this is?
- A triangle for gnomes!
Then this is the right prize for you!
I must admit it looks a bit weird to bring your first contraceptive coil.
- This is a chick sexer.
- Excuse me!
- A chick sexer which was used to hang above chicken eggs
to know if the chick inside the egg was a hen or a rooster.
- But is it scientific or is it some kind of witching rod?
- The inscriptions reads: (French) Le sexograph
- and I can't read the rest of it -
from professor J. Capron
to find out the gender from any living creature.
- Oooh So, we can also try it on us...
- Frieda, can we find out tonight, what gender you are?
- Yes indeed, when in doubt...
- Try it out, keep it above your own head.
- Ok, but I don't know exactly what to do for female or male,
I think that for females it makes little circles
- Yes, yes, I see.
- And for males it goes from one side to the other.
- Try it on me.
- You have to wait till it has stopped
- Eh, it works!
It works!!
It WORKS!! - Well done, it is an exceptional object.
Sven. Yes, you can give a round of applause for that.
What did you bring with you?
- I brought a canning can.
- We can see that, but what is in it?
- Not just any can, this is
"Real California canned earthquake"
During the earthquake - there were some in San Fransisco -
they have put a little bit of earthquake into this can
and commercialized and sold it in cans.
- To crazy people - Yes, indeed.
- No really! - And did you pay something for this?
- Absolutely: $15,99 in 1986.
Watch out, watch out. No, please no.
- Well I think there is more in the can than in your head.
- But really: "California canned earthquake"
- And you believe in this! - Absolutely!
Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. - That's the most important.
Olga.
- Hi Gert. - What? Yes, hi!
- I brought a...
.. a gun with me.
But this is not just any gun.
- No, I certainly hope so.
- It squirts ketchup. - Ooooh.
Waaw
- Sven is ecstatic.
- So, Sven, can I squirt in your mouth?
- Wait, what is the due date on that ketchup?
- So early in the night. - Was that your line in the script?
- Come on. - Don't hit me!
No... Yeeeees...
- But Sven, show us how far it can shoot.
- Now it doesn't work? - No of course not,
because a hotdog is lying flat so you have to aim like this.
Oh no, I sat on my earthquake.
- Ok, before it is complete chaos over here, Guga, what did you bring with you?
- I found the holy grail for all fans of "FC de Kampioenen". (Belgian sitcom)
This is the mascot from the football team: his name is Jefke.
But I didn't bring him just once, I have it 4 times with me...
A unique collection of "Jefkes", who I think nobody owns.
- Where is your fourth "Jefke".
- Here is Jefke number four. - A very small one.
- Yes, a very small one, that is my "Jefke".
I don't think anybody in Flanders has this as a collection. Very rare!
- Guga, the task was not to bring the most boring object with you
- But, but... - Yes, I mean...
(Imitates one of the main characters of the sitcom) - But these are the mascots of the team.
- Tom, what did you bring with you?
- I took some worn shoes with me.
- Interesting.
- These are the shoes with which I ran the "Marathon des Sables".
I had to make them into sandals in the back, because I couldn't fit in my shoes when running the last marathon.
- Just to be clear: What does the race include?
- Running 6 marathons in 5 days in the Sahara Desert.
- But that's impossible! - And the fourth day
you'll have to run 2 in 1 day, so running 84km.
- Is there still some sand in them?
- Ooooh
Awesome
- So, your bond with these shoes is because you ran such a long distance with them?
- Indeed, they helped me 252km through the dessert.
- That is like the bond you have with the bike on which you supposedly drove from Paris to Bordeaux.
- The same bond as the one you have with the dog you supposedly use to entertain children.
- Impressive collection we have here. I think we need to hand out some points.
- Who do you rate the lowest.
- The lowest score will go to... Indeed Guga.
Disappointing collection, I thought.
Sorry about that, but it is what it is.
And then 2 old shoes are not that spectacular to me.
- Come on.
- Three points go to...
- Ketchup?!
- No, for me you brought an empty Can, which should be in the recycling bin.
So, I give you 3 points.
- Ok, I can agree, that is in the middle of the pack.
- The ketchup gun can have 4 points, especially because of the nice demonstration.
But the one and only object that surprised us all
Frieda is our first glorious leader with 5 points.
Congrats.
Maybe Tom can take the chick sexer home later tonight. That might be the start of a new season of "Tomtesteron".
But now let's start with the first real task, Ruth.
- The house task is coming up.
- Are you not happy to see me?
- But of course, I am, but not to see the bathtub.
- Look at that: a bathtub.
Maybe you should take a bath after all? - Do you think so? Hmm, maybe I do.
- Try to empty this bathtub as soon as possible - You can't unplug it.
- You can't damage the bathtub - Or turn it over.
Can you do that? You can't.
- Ooh, it's cold.
- Your time starts now.
- Sven, very remarkable tactics: empty a bathtub and you start running.
What were you thinking?
- A lot went through my mind, I had to find something to empty the bath.
- Ruth, let us know what happened that day.
- Well, let's first watch how our fresh little ones did this: Olga and Sven.
- Where are you going to? - The kitchen. Going to the kitchen.
- And off you go...
- Olga? Waaaw.
Be careful with Vicky, are you taking him with you?
Can he go in the bath?
- I am not sure this will work, maybe if I hold it higher. No, ok that was stupid.
- Let's try this first.
- Do you like taking a bath? - Yes, I only use the bathtub.
I hate taking a shower. You have to keep on standing, so exhausting.
- This is way too slow.
- Exhausting? - Wow!
Oops, my shoes are soaked.
- You didn't take his good kitchenware, I hope? - Gert would never cook for himself.
Done.
You are cleaning the bath at the same time.
Shall I stop the time? - Yes, it is empty.
- I'll stop the time. - Yes, it is empty.
Is that how you bath your children at home?
No, but this is to absorb the leftovers.
That is empty enough.
- Olga, you started on some act with a garden hose
- I was thinking about communicating vessels
It has to run down, and I have to bring the bucket higher...
Stop it, I won't talk again! I am shutting up.
- It would have worked, but you first have to suck it.
- We shall see what the result is.
- Slow is the keyword in their performance
- What is the time in which they did it? - Olga needed 6 minutes and 22 seconds.
and Sven in 5 minutes and 17 seconds.
- Despite the fact that he was going at it with the smallest pot he could find?
- Was his tub completely empty, because I lost a lot of time cleaning up the last drops
with a sponge. - My sponge was Vicky the Viking!
- We'll see now if that was such a good idea, Sven.
- Can you hear it?
That isn't empty at all.
If I leave the tub at home like this, then I am in serious trouble.
- Is that mine?
- What do we do with this, Gert? - I don't have to think about that.
There is no other way but to disqualify him. - Are you serious!?
- Of course. Empty means empty, and this was not empty at all.
- Now let's have a look at how Frieda did, and
she knew about the trick with the hose as well.
- Show us... - I think it is really nasty.
- What kind of suction you still can produce.
You can suck until you're crazy
Oh god.
- It really works?!
- Look it flows, it keeps on flowing.
- Oh no, it stopped. It came to the top.
Could you keep that end at the bottom, please.
Keep the hose at the bottom you fool.
You are here to sabotage me, Ruth - I am just laughing.
Come on, I'll do it myself.
You can use the buckets.
You're still young and strong. - Hmm.
- How, how, how - So glad I can participate.
- No, you can't... This is so unfair.
- I think what you are doing is more efficient
compared to the hose, that runs so slow...
You could already fetch a cloth.
I would do the same for my own granny.
You have to look at it like this:
You're just walking around with a tablet in your hand
- That's true
- And now you are making yourself useful and the people will be impressed by you.
I think we are ready.
I thank you with all my heart.
- The pleasure was all mine, Frieda.
- My gratitude knows no boundaries.
- Can you do the veranda and the kitchen as well please.
- Well done Frieda.
Nobody told you that you couldn't ask Ruth for a helping hand.
But that is never mentioned.
- If somebody asks me nicely, I am willing to help.
and especially if such a nice old lady
is sucking a hose which does nothing anymore.
- Frieda, I think we almost lost you at one point in time.
I almost drowned but I survived.
Were you planning on drinking the water?
Frieda - and myself - managed a time of 8 minutes and 18 seconds
so, Olga is still in the lead.
- So that doesn't change much. - After that we have...
the long-anticipated clash between Tom Waes and Tom Waes from Aldi.
- Now? - Yes please.
- What are you up to?
- What do you think?
Nothing else in the pockets.
- Ah you're not taking off the rest?
- Yes, that is the idea.
- Oooh, be careful.
- Does it have to be completely empty? - Yes indeed.
- Come on, that can't be true.
- It looks like you are in an adventurous show.
Did you bring spare clothes, Tom?
I don't know. Maybe I can fit in yours?
Good
Enough?
You can tell me when!
This is ok for you?
Empty?
- I would think so. - OK, then I will stop the clock.
Oh my god. Very impressive I must say.
I thought it was fun.
You really wanted to break the tub, no?
What were your plans?
No, I would have just pushed it over.
Good luck. Haha.
I am going to get a towel.
That's impossible.
It was really heavy.
- And it was so exhausting
- Guga, what do you think about the big duel.
- I think I lost a little bit of time at the start.
by having some doubts, and Tom immediately jumped into the water.
so, I think it will be close. - Yes, it should be close.
- Tom did it in 2 minutes, 46 seconds.
and Guga did even better, half a minute faster, so you win this task.
Congrats.
So, the score is now
Looking forward to it
- Haha, have a look at that.
- The little one dangles at the bottom.
and Frieda and Olga are both in first place.
- Ruth? - Yes?!
- I am getting a little hungry right now.
I did order something, didn't I?
You didn't forget, I hope? - No, no, I did bring it with me.
Here you go.
Some toast with your favourite caviar.
- Ah lovely. Thanks so much!
Oho, it looks amazing.
- Can I have one? - Keep watching, see you soon.
- Very tasty.
- Indeed, not bad at all!
- I think we started again.
- New task?
- New task, ah, all right.
The next task was one in which the most important thing was your bank account number.
Let's have a look.
Welcome!
Sit down and read.
- Transfer any amount you wish to Gert's bank account.
Are you serious about this?
- He is the one who devises these tasks, Tom.
- And the one who transfers the biggest amount to his account
wins. - Correct.
- This is Gert's bank account? - It really is his own account number.
- You must be kidding.
Do I get the money back? No?!
- No way.
- I donate to charities every month
But never to Gert Verhulst.
- Didn't you already earn a lot of money?
- No - With public TV shows, that earns some...
- Should Gert not start by wiring us some money?
- One service for another? - Oh and...
by the way
Every one of my 3 children
have visited every Plop-show, every Plopsaland (amusement park),
K3 shows.
Do you have any idea how much money in total I already payed to Gert?
In fact: Verhulst (Gert)
Do you have any idea how much you owe me?
I can't imagine that...
Who from the whole gang has some interest in money...
Sven
- Sven does seem to have a lot invested in this. To try to win.
- He can always move to the forest with the other gnomes.
I have a feeling that there must be some kind of double play here.
I am tempted to transfer ZERO euro.
But I feel that if you wire something, you get something in return.
Let's go. Voila, it's gone.
- How much did you transfer? - 200 euro
I believe that I hope to get something in return for this.
- OK, 200 euro
- Thinking about it: I did a lot already in my life
but this might have been harder than the Marathon des Sables.
- It hurts more than that.
200 euro to Gert Verhulst...
- Brave!
- Brave? Mostly painful. - But I still think it is brave.
- I am going to drink away my sorrows.
- Bye Tom. - Goddamnit.
200 euro!
- Tom you did in fact transfer 200 euro to my account.
Here you can see the evidence.
Do you think anybody gave more? And if so, who would do that?
- How much pocket money do you collect from your dad?
I was thinking one of 2 things:
either he donates it to charity, then we still have a nice feeling about it
but if you say you are going to keep it. - It is Gert Verhulst of course.
- Then I am going crazy.
- But who donated more than you did, you think?
- Sven - Sven, how much did you transfer?
- Nothing. - Nothing. Why not?
- Because I never got this task.
- WHAT?!
- You have to be kidding. And neither did the rest of you?
- The caviar that costs 200 euro was delicious.
- Give it back - And you get a big round of applause back for that.
- Well Ruth, let's move on to the next task.
All right, the next task was...
- You are serious!? - You did win!
-Yes, but it doesn't get you any points.
Not even any points?
If you are playing solo, it is easy to win!
The next task ...
- Tomorrow I am breaking and entering Plopsaland.
So, the next task was a team task.
And the location was a gym just around the corner from your place.
Hello darling.
- Come over here... - Hello Tom.
- It sounds empty in here. - It sounds nice in here.
- Doing some sports: nice.
- Hello team. - Hello - Hello
- How are you? - Good.
- You 2 are already the most masculine team.
That is a prize you already earned.
There is a task here for you, but you can't open it until I am gone.
because it has to do with sports, which means I'd rather be as far as possible.
Understood? - Yes, All right.
Boys, have fun.
Try to score 11 points as soon as possible. Your time starts now.
What do you mean 11 points?
11 points with what?
- Ruth, confusing looks on all faces.
Was it clear what they had to do?
The task was easy: score 11 points
but how they had to achieve this was less clear.
But there definitely was a way to earn points.
and there also was a way to lose points again.
But I think you still don't know - I was several nights awake because of this.
- Although we have a real sportsman among us: Sven...
- Thank you.
No, not even I had any tactic for solving this.
You couldn't figure it out, in the meantime we can't either.
But let's see how the game started.
- We're gonna have look at both teams at the same time
and how they tried to manipulate their scores.
- And you are going to score points, so now you can try to find out when and how you could have scored.
- Ok so, what do we have to do?
Playing squash, is that one point?
11 points, how can we score points?
Score points, I suppose with those rackets?
It's the same. In any way get to 11 points.
Oops. - We probably have to look around.
- Watch out, please.
That's one! - Nope, it doesn't count.
- Are those really just some pastries?
- Yes, and I fancy those, but...
- Have a look at the bottom of the tray.
- No, I only have a picture with Gert.
and a broken frame...
- Aaah. Ball in bin!
- Ball in bin.
- No just like this. - Throw it in.
- No that...
- Oh wait, that is a point. We scored a point.
- So, in fact, eeeuh
Hey there is one! One!
It says one.
- What did I do?
- Say 'Eeuh', Gert? That used to be a show you presented, no?
- So when should you earn a point? - Whenever you say "Euh"?
- Someone else with some other ideas?
- I also heard someone say 'Euh' and then you received one point.
- I think, I think - Yes Sven
- Standing in certain sections.
- It is something very ... simple - Dumb
It was very simple
You would earn one point for every time you touched your face.
- Nooo! - And you would lose points
whenever you disrespected Gert.
So, when you destroyed the frame of the photo I deducted 2 points.
- That was disrespectful to the delivered materials.
Let's have a look and then you'll see that it did work like that.
- But where did that point come from all of a sudden?
Come on. And then you moved that way.
I was standing here... - Have a look: 3 points.
Three
Wait there...
- Wait I almost get it.
Yes!!!??
No, No.
I went this way...
Four
Five
Six... No!
So, table?
Seven.
- Six - 11 points, wait.
- It looks like... - Ah come on. You are making a mess here...
-Two. two!!
- We keep doing things and check if we are scoring points.
- But how can we do 11 things wrong?
Four.
- That's a point.
That's a point.
- I am holding it.
Ho No... I am dropping it.
- What are you doing, man! - Points are decreasing...
- What did you do?
Come on, please.
Maybe you just have to say it.
Five... Six...
- How are we earning points? - Seven.
Eight
- But wait - We can't touch anything
- Yes, we can but... Wait
Five... Six... - But wait...
Six.
You have bitten from this already. - Yes, I have.
- So now I did as well. That's eleven.
- We have to do the same things, maybe?
- Seven - Eight
- Finish your pastry.
- That's not going to be it.
- Ten?! - See, whenever you pass this thing...
- How many points did we need?
- It does not feel right at all.
- Eleven, Yes... -Eleven
- Maybe when we are all on the same side?
We are at 11. The task is done!
Watch out, wait.
Nine
Ten
- But why?
Eleven? - Eleven.
Eleven
From this side.
Eleven
Yes, we did it...
- Why? - I don't know
Tom, what were you thinking in that cage?
I just couldn't figure anything out.
Did you lie awake afterwards?
- No, not like I will lie awake thinking about those 200 euro you got from me.
- But, who was the fastest at 11 points.
- The team with Olga, Frieda and Guga needed 4 minutes and 55 seconds.
But, Tom and Sven..
6 minutes and 1 second.
So, Olga, Frieda and Guga win this task. - Well done guys.
They each get 5 points, and Sven and Tom get 3 points each.
Tom, you look more miserable every time, not yet as bad as Sven.
6 points for Sven in last place, and still
"girls on top". - Granny's on top indeed.
- Ruth, shall we move on to the next task.
- The next task had our contestants putting all their weight in it.
and you can take that to the letter.
- Ah, the fairest of them all.
- Hhm, tasty. - And some crisps as well...
- Indeed
- Here are 2 scales - Weigh yourself.
Nice, isn't it.
Try to make yourself as heavy as possible and weigh again.
You can use both scales, biggest weight gain wins.
You have 20 minutes and your time starts now.
- But do I have to eat it all?
The task is to make you as heavy as possible, and they could use both scales.
The task is about weight, and with women that is a delicate subject.
- I was so nice to never mention the weight of Frieda or Olga, and I won't do that.
- Who are we seeing first?
- Sven, Guga and Olga.
- Yes, got it.
- Mumbling: weigh yourself
- 91,8 kg
- Take off your shoes - Of course, then my weight drops.
- Can you hold this please. - For sure!
79,4 kg
That is OK, no?
Yes, this morning...
Without my clothes on it is around 78.
Hey! - That is so few.
-That's with all my clothes... I never ever was this heavy
Let's just have a nice drink.
Isn't drinking water good to lose weight?
- Ok wait a second.
Can I hold on to things?
- Watch your back! - Yes, yes!
- Don't move around too much Olga, you're burning calories like that.
- Oh my god, that's heavy.
Gert, you left your balls outside last night.
but where do I have to put these?
I'll take this with me.
- Look at that. Nice!
- Anyway, it doesn't matter.
This is heavier no matter what.
- Except if all that acid dissolves the stone.
- Doesn't show anything? - No
I think you first have to touch the scale to start it.
- Are you kidding me?!
- The biggest question is: can I still lift this.
- I believe in you!
- I believe my osteopath is going to be happy.
- I am already impressed now.
- Unfortunately, that is not the task.
- Nice display of strength.
- These apples are really nice.
- Yes.
- And? - 115,3 kg
- All right, I am happy with that.
Okay, take it off.
- Don't shit your pants.
Hhhm, it isn't powered on.
- Are you serious?! - Yes...
- And now? - Still nothing.
- 101 kg
- 100,5 kg!
- So much strength.
in such a small body.
Yes.
- Where is my jacket? - Here it is.
- Come on, I gave it to you asking to hold it.
and then I forget... Aaah come on.
- I think it wasn't bad. - I think that, also, it wasn't bad.
- Waaw
Impressive guys, that was pure powerhouse.
Olga, you started by drinking one glass of water.
- I was really thirsty. - Was that the right tactic to get heavier?
- Noooo, I was thirsty and then I started looking for heavy stuff.
And compared to Guga, I can't even call those things heavy.
- Sven, you seem a bit upset?
- Because she is talking about what Guga lifted.
the things I was holding...
that was only some candy.
- Your initial plan was to take a
washing machine.
But that plan was then abandoned.
- Yes, those 2 machines were bolted together, and the second was too heavy.
- I must admit, that I was very impressed with Sven as well!
The strength he had. - Thank you, Ruth.
- Good, then I am very curious to know how much they gained exactly.
- I have that written here, Gert.
To keep it completely fair I calculate the percentage gain.
So, it is expressed in percentages here.
So Guga went from 91 to 164kg.
this comes down to a gain of 78% compared to his own body weight.
Awesome.
Sven came from 79 and went up to 115kg
A gain of 45%
And Olga - Noooo
Did a little bit better than Sven - Oh my god!
- because she has a gain of 62%
and came from 64kg to 105kg. - Ehem..
- 64kg is not right at all. - Oh sorry.
- I have never ever weight 64kg!!
RUTH!!
I want an extra point, and I never was 64, maximum 62.
- You were probably wearing very heavy boots.
Ruth, thank you for these very accurate numbers.
and this was part 2 of taskmaster. In a minute...
the battle for the chick sexer continues. See you soon.
Here we are for part 3 of taskmaster.
Ruth, where were we?
Well, we were doing the scale-task.
The contestants had to make themselves as heavy as possible.
Guga is our uncontested leader.
But... - Until this guy shows up...
- Indeed, we still have Tom and Frieda to see.
- Did Frieda also make an Olympic weightlifting effort, or did she have a different plan?
- Well, let's say
He who isn't that strong
has to be Frieda.
- 68,5kg, but that is with my clothes on.
- All right....
- These are dog treats. - Those swell in your stomach.
- Yeah ok. I am going to drink 1 litre of water, that makes already 1 kg extra.
Ah no, I have something better. I am going to get my purse. Women and their purses.
Those are very heavy, as you might know.
- What is in yours if it is so heavy?
- I'll show you in a second.
- Some prostheses maybe?
- Don't make that kind of jokes, all right.
- Wow, that is indeed quite some gain. - Yes, but not enough, only 2kg.
- It is something to start with. - Yes...
Come join me... - No, no, no, I am not a purse...
Can I ask someone to join me on the scale? - Of course, you can, but not myself.
- The middle one. Come on.
Come stand behind me, and hold me tight.
Write it down
- Amai, yes.
- Okay, I think we'll win!
- I have won anyway!
- The lovely young man behind Frieda is our director.
And Frieda did solicit again, some outside help.
- Sven, do you feel dumb now that you see that it can be done with less effort.
- Absolutely, the wisdom rises to the top.
- So, Frieda ended with 144kg
- Yeah but.... - Which is a weight gain of 125%
and 47% more than Guga.
- Frieda, are you pleased about your own performance?
- I must admit it was rather cosy standing with 2 on 1 scale. It was a first for me.
- He took a firm grip on you, I noticed. - Yes, yes...
- He said it himself: "I have won no matter what".
- Maybe it was a bit too confident
because the task was to get yourself as heavy as possible
and there was just some extra person standing on the scale, so...
Ruth... - Zero!
- It was worth it anyway!
- I hope you enjoyed the moment completely, Frieda.
but we regretfully have to disqualify you for this task. - That's a shame.
Ruth, who is the next one on the list? - Well...
- There is only 1 left. - Since there is only 1 left.
We are going to have a look at Tom's attempt, who has to try to beat Guga with 78%.
- 87,4kg - So, 87,4 is my current weight?!
What is that?
- A Cola.
- That doesn't help, I think.
This is half a litre, 2, 3 litres. That adds nothing. I am not eating any dog treats.
4 apples...
Can I lift you? Or any of the cameramen?
- A cameraman you can ask. - And not you?
- The best kept secret in Flanders... We are not giving that up.
- You have to film, I suppose. Come over here.
Come Brian.
Here - Shall I try to film in the meantime, Brian?
- Be careful.
- You don't have to be scared.
Easy.
- I can't read it. How much is it?
- 191 - Yup, 191.
- And I was 87, are you 104 kilograms?
- See, that is why I didn't want to do that.
Because you were going to shout it.
- He weighs 104kg! Okay, how much did I have?!
- 191 - One hundred, ninety-one.
- Use both scales...
- The camera also weighs a lot - Try like this...
How much does it read now?
- I can't see it. - Yes, you can.
- Ruth! - 88
How is that possible? Pulling doesn't help? - No. Why would it?
And when I do it like this?
- 90 and 23.
- Brian, come again...
Wait a second.
Careful guys...
Yes, count it!
- One hundred... and what is that...
190. that's impossible.
- It must something like that? - 190 and 50.
240!
You have gained 30kg in 10 minutes...
- 240, how much? - I wrote down: 190 and 50.
- That is 240, right. - Yes.
I can take Brian, but can I add someone else?
Come here!
Wait a minute...
Okay, final attempt.
- Brian - He's scared...
Come here, don't be afraid, nothing will happen.
- That's a start. I'll hold this.
And now, I just hang on you
Just wait, I have to be upright, otherwise I'll get a hernia.
take me really tight by my neck, we will have to like each other very much for a little while.
- How much?
- But I can't see it. - How much? How much!?
- The bottom one is switched off.
- But that one is broken.
Ah ok.
Now they both work fast, fast, fast, fast.
Oh no, the bottom one is off again... - Nonono, it is switched on now...
Tilt, the scale reads Tilt. - Tilt means 300kg.
One hundred... sixty.
Approximately.
- So, Tilt is 300, plus 160 is 460. Oh boy.
I couldn't walk for 2 days after that. True story.
- Tom, before I congratulate you, you broke one scale
for an amount of exactly 200 euro. So that is that.
You were also the only one to use 2 scales at the same time. What was your plan there?
- Yes, I read, use the 2 scales, so if they both show some measurement...
you can add them, I figured.
And we did do a test: myself, Brian and Sara
was over the maximum of 300kg for the scale, so then it tilted.
- Points please... - Points, okay.
- Tom, we had at least 300kg and the 160kg we could read from the other scale.
is in total 460kg
which is enough to have a weight gain of 426%.
- Spectacular - So, Tom is the winner of this task with a huge lead.
Frieda, unfortunately you score no points in this round.
Guga, you get 4 points, Olga 3, and Sven you get 2.
- Aah Guga
Tom takes a big leap forward thanks to his performance.
but Olga still in the lead together with Guga. Congrats. Well done.
Wow, exciting.
It is time for the big final: a task to be performed live here at the studio
which will also determine who will take Guga's cuddly toys and the chicken sexer to bed tonight.
Hold on tight.
Look at that, look at that.
Everyone is ready, and I see some boxing gloves.
Ruth, what are we going to do?
Today, I will let that be told by Olga.
No, I detest reading out loud.
We are all ears, Olga. Easy, easy...
Nooo - Yes, this will break I am sure.
Try to put as much of the blue candies in the empty bowl.
You have to keep the boxing gloves on. Most blue candies win.
Other colours of candy in the bowl will be deducted from your score. You have 100 seconds.
Wait. Wait! Wait!!
Is the task clear to everybody?
Yes.
Ready? 3, 2, 1...
What are you doing?
- The task, only the task.
I only just got the task now.
- Really, what were you doing?
Are you ok Frieda?
Aren't those 1000 seconds over yet?
- How long to go?
- They have 40 seconds left.
Shall we...
They all look like chickens.
Sven, what are you doing?
- 10 seconds to go!
Stop stop, stop!
Stop
- Help me, Gert.
- Time's up
Time's up
- There you go - Thank you.
It was a very interesting spectacle. Ruth...
could you clean this mess?
and afterwards we can start counting.
- What a shameful performance it was. - Horrible
I am a bit embarrassed for them.
How many blue candies were there in the bowls? That was the actual task.
Ruth, what could you count?
I, euh, couldn't make anything out of that mess, Gert.
I was following the action, and I have some conclusions I can make from that.
I saw Frieda being awesome at this task.
Olga as well, up until a certain moment.
That is when Sven started... - I came to see how much he already had.
- But you started to sabotage the task
- Bwaah - Sickened
- Yes, and Guga had a "small" reaction to that.
- Yes, he fell for it. He fell for it. - With fire in his eyes.
And that is why I decided to disqualify both Guga and Sven for this task.
- Fair play
- Since it was impossible to count what was left in the other bowls, they each get...
- Hola, but I still brought you a bowl. - Yes, but we give all 3 of you, 5 points.
- That's good enough - We can live with that.
So, I say: all's well that ends well, looking at the score that is.
Because who is today's winner of taskmaster?
Well this is the final score.
Yeeeeeeess
The youngest chick
Ladies and gents, the big winner is Olga Leyers
who can take home these strange prizes tonight.
But first I'd like to thank Frieda van Wijck
Sven de Ridder
Guga Baul
And Tom Waes, Thank you Tom.
And of course, don't forget my awesome assistant: Ruth Beekmans.
- Thank you, Gert.
This was Taskmaster, and I have one more message for Tom
I have sent your 200 euro to UNICEF, the charity of which you are godfather.
Don't thank me, you're welcome! Good evening.
