Tonight on The Brightest Light you'll see how Stefaan Degand makes a block of ice disappear,
MELT!
Why Guga Baúl jogs across a hockey field...
And how Sven de Ridder imitates a gorilla.
And all of that to please this man:
Welcome! I am Gert Verhulst and this is The Brightest Light.
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.
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! (Presenter)
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! (Actor)
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! (Actress/Presenter)
The fourth's actual name is Laurent Bailleu, and because that name wasn't ridiculous enough already, he goes by:
Guga Baúl! (Impressionist/actor/comic)
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! (Actor)
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, expect my servant doesn't actually fit down a chimney:
Here's the amazing Ruth Beeckmans!
Hey Ruth! Happy to be here? -Yeah, sure, sure.
Ruth, should we get this show on the road? -Yes, shouldn't we?
We should, yes. -Okay, let's start with the first task.
The prize task, same as every week.
The contestants have to bring a prize from their homes
Which we'll toss in the pot, and at the end, our winner
Will get to take those prizes home.
Yes. We have a theme each time... -Indeed.
What was it this time?
This week you asked them to bring their most beautiful item.
Most beautiful. -Most beautiful.
Yes. Frieda, I figured you'd just bring yourself. -That's what I did.
You did, but you also brought something- -Something else, second most beautiful.
Yes... Wow! -This apple.
What is it? -A glass apple.
Don't drop it. -Can you use it for calls?
No, you can't use- -Rarely have I seen...
Such a beautiful glass apple. What's it for? At home?
To look at it. -It's from somewhere in your house?
Yes. -Yes.
On top of the closet. -It's... well, I don't know if it's beautiful.
I think it'll end up somewhere in the middle of the pack. That's me guessing.
I don't know what the others brought. Sven?
What did you bring? Something that's beautiful, magnificent.
I'm a Star Wars fan, right? -Yes.
But... my Star Wars obsession started out with toys.
So it's an obsession? -Yes, absolutely.
Yes, I've still got all my toys. Some of it - a lot of it- is still in the box...
Not to be played with, but to be looked at. -Oh, you're one of those.
Yes. But unfortunately this one was once opened.
And inside it is... A Darth Vader action figure.
Okay, please show the people at home. -Yes, yes, absolutely.
And it's not allowed to exit its bag? -No, no, it has to stay inside.
From the rear you can tell it's a Darth Vader with an authentic lightsaber.
If you can look through the bag, because it's not that clear.
But do you know what's special about this Darth Vader?
I don't know. -This box... was signed...
By the actor playing Darth Vader.
How did you get it, Sven? -That's David Prose.
Yes, but how did you acquire it? -At a convention.
At one of those fan conventions.
That's where- -I often wonder, "Who the hell visits those?"
That'd be me. Yes.
'If any Star Wars expert sees this, they'll say "Wow!", with tears in their eyes.
Ruth, do we have more information on that weird item?
Yes. Turns out it's an actual collectible. -Wow.
And I didn't find it for anything less than €800,-.
WHAT? -Really. Really.
That's amazing. -Yes, and I'm glad that today you're...
Just putting it up for grabs. Thanks Sven, a very beautiful item.
Olga, what did you bring? -It's quite heavy.
Yes, I can tell. -A big...
It's a... book? -An art book.
About Gustav Klimt. -Oh, Gustav Klimt.
Yes. If you want to see- -Is it a so called table book?
A coffee table book, as they say? -A coffee table book. Look, 'The Kiss'!
By Klimt. -Yes, yes.
That's from completing a stamp card. -Yes, beautiful. I think it's a nice book.
It's just a nice book to look at, or to leaf through.
I think you should make a K3 coffee table book. I think that would sell well.
Yes, I've still got some nice pictures of the previous K3 members at home.
Thanks Olga. Especially for bringing it all the way over here, with how heavy it is.
Yes, it wasn't easy on the moped. -Yes.
Guga... -Yes, I've brought the Aston Martin of the instruments...
Which is a real Martin. -That's a plastic guitar, or what is it?
No, no, no. It's made of authentic mumbleni wood.
And that's... -Real mumbleni wood?
Absolutely, momenomi wood. And it's basically decorative,
As well as- -Can you play it as well?
Play something. -Play something? One moment.
Yes. Thanks. Thanks, Guga.
Merci!
Guga, it was a beautiful guitar, until you started playing it.
Thanks. -Stefaan?
Yes, I don't have any hobbies, but I brought something...
Klimt is my hobby. -I brought something magnificent, namely...
A piece by my 2-year old daughter.
Sentimental. -That's playing on our sentiments,
Stefaan, but I can't quite tell, it is- -This piece...
It is.. -Just plucking the heart string.
To be completely honest... It's ugly. -Why would you say that?
I don't think it looks good. And I've seen plenty of drawings in my life.
But it doesn't look good.
Let's just see if you make it to the end of the broadcast.
And why is it short a corner? It has to be because her father is also short a corner.
First of all, it doesn't have to be beautiful, right?
But it's done with passion, as you can see. She did name the piece.
Which is "The Wandering Doe in the Great Outdoors."
That should be clear to see, right? -Yes.
Are we all agreed? -I think it's very nice.
It's amazing. It's worthless right now, but she's only two years old, of course.
But in 54 years it'll be more expensive than Gustav Klimt. -Right.
Yes. -Looking at it frightens me for some reason.
Anyway, I'll hand out the points. -Time to score them, right.
Points. -This is the winner, I think that's obvious.
I'm only giving you 1 point, sorry. -Come on...
Well, that's disappointing, unfortunate, but you're the judge.
There will be more rounds. -That's a dictatorial choice.
Absolutely. That's what this show is.
Our dictator for tonight, ladies and gentlemen, Gert Verhulst!
Heil! Heil Gert!
I do have to warn you fine people, don't encourage this man.
Because that'll end badly. Guga?
Yes. -I'm giving you two points. It's-
Fantastic!
Beautiful guitar. -Fantastic.
Frieda. Your apple, as I already said, in the middle of the pack.
So that's three points. Four points go to Sven.
It's not beautiful either, but it does have some value.
It's all about the money in the end. -It's all about the money.
He's got euro-signs in his eyes. -That book is probably even more expensive,
And I'm amazed that a showbiz babe like yourself is interested in art.
So that's why Olga gets five points. -Okay.
Ruth! -Yes?
It's time for the first task. -Yes.
We did have other tasks, right? -We do.
Okay, blow us away.
Well, the first task is one in which we break the ice right away.
Oh?! -Have a look.
What's that?
You're looking good. -Thanks.
And how... are you? - Good.
Is that ice? It is.
Is that an ice cube to your scale?
Thank you. - Here you go.
'Make this ice block disappear as fast as possible.'
'Time starts now.'
Always with the rushing.
Disappear?
So that you can't see it anymore. - Disappear.
Okay.
Olga, you were familiar with the concept of ice, right? Frozen water? Hard?
What got into you? -I thought I could just...
Kick it and throw it until it broke, so that it'd just melt away.
For real?
But I did quickly realize that wasn't the ideal solution, so I ended up using some tools.
But I didn't- Okay, I'll grant you, ice is hard. -Ice is hard.
I know. But I didn't expect it kicking it would hurt that badly.
Right. Frieda, what did you think when you saw the ice? -Where's the liquor?
But could you tell us what you think 'making the ice block disappear' means?
Well, what I thought it meant... -Yes...
I looked it up in the dictionary. -Oh.
And to disappear means 'to become invisible, to lose sight of.'
So if I was still able to see the block of ice, Gert, it hadn't disappeared yet.
Let's look at the attempts by Frieda and Olga.
So that's Thumper and... our back pain patient.
But I just want it to...
Is that rage, Olga? Are you imagining hacking away at...
The Gert.
Do you know what my plan is? I'll just pour a hole into it.
That way the water will stay there, and then it'll melt quickly.
Look how much progress we've made. I think that's removed one fifth.
This looks solid enough, right?
Oops.
One... two... Three... One, two, three. One, two, three.
If you're not paying close attention,
then you wouldn't see it. And if we just wait a bit...
It'll simply disappear.
All right.
Have you ever worked this hard in your life?
No.
It might have melted completely by now.
Surely.
I can't see it anymore.
That's to do with age.
He's got an idyllic place here, right? - Isn't it just?
Just tell me when it's gone, okay, Frieda? - Okay, sure.
I'll put on my raincoat and lie on top of it. Would that help?
I think that might even hurt a bit.
A comfy bed...
And now we wait.
How are the kids?
Does this help?
This isn't doing anything.
It's getting smaller, right? I can see it shrink by the minute.
No, we're just further away. - No, no, it's getting smaller. Getting smaller.
Can I put it in here?
And it's gone.
I can still see it.
Ah, it floats! Ice floats! I'm so stupid!
Olga, such self-knowledge. Suddenly...
The light! The light! -Ice floats.
But isn't it odd how dumb you can suddenly be? -Did you guys forget about that?
No, I've spent hours making homework about the melting point of ice,
And flotation, and the density of matter, blabla, and in moments like those-
In moments like those, you don't remember any of it.
Say, Frieda, you figured you'd fight ice with water, that went well at the start, hot water worked great.
And suddenly you decided "I'll try cold water now."
No, I was convinced I had already lost, so I figured:
"Let's just have a coffee and sit in the chair until it has completely melted."
You could have just laid on top of the ice, like Olga.
Yes, but I'm not Olga.
That went surprisingly poorly, right?
What did you expect- -I thought body heat,
If you hold an ice cube in your hand it melts rather quickly, right?
Yes, turns out you're not as hot as you think you are.
Olga was wearing her raincoat. -Ah yes, it was because of the raincoat.
Okay. How long did this all take?
It took Olga 42 minutes and 37 seconds to make the ice disappear...
And Frieda, I think you will indeed be in last place this task,
Because we sat there for... 2 hours, 39 minutes and 12 seconds.
Luckily we still have some men.
Yes, luckily there are always still men.
And how did they do? -Oh, oh dear.
Who will be looking at first? -Let's first look at...
Two men with a completely opposite approach, so that's Sven and Guga.
In the pond?
That won't be warm enough.
You've already got a plan? - Yes, I'll lift it up and...
Watch your back, bud. - No, no.
Look at him go.
Ah right, a portable cooler.
That fits. - Did you think it would sink?
Yes, that's what I thought.
Just lifting it out of the water? How strong are you?
Extreme violence. One side each? There we go.
Where are we going? -The shower.
Hot water...
Does it fit? No, obviously. Of course it doesn't.
Would you look at that. - You're just literally giving it a shower.
Nice, isn't it? Beautiful, right? - It's nice. It really is.
It's just like... It reminds me of the planet
on which Superman visits his father. So that's not Krypton,
Because that's where he's from, and it's not-
It's more like... he goes to the poles.
We have to get out of here.
And I've never been cast by Studio 100!
So Superman II gets released. It's not as good as the first Superman.
Marlon Brando gone completely. Of course, because they said:
'He cost us a lot of money the first time. We won't be doing that again.'
I'm getting quite excited.
Make sure to save some ice for later, Guga.
And we can't forget about the fourth, The Quest for Peace.
That was a Cannon-production. That was Golan and Globus,
Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus. The producers.
Who's still talking about this block of ice?
My make-up.
Good job.
You're somewhat of a Superman yourself, right? - Thanks.
Just slightly smaller. -Yes.
And chubbier.
Sven, you jumped into the shower with Ruth.
Yes, that is to say, we were outside of it. -You were outside. Your thoughts?
Exciting as well, but in a different way.
Yes, but you did learn about the Superman movies, right?
I sure did. -The good ones, the originals-
Oh my god. -That's true.
How long did they take, Ruth? -Let me check.
Please do.
Sven let 20 minutes and 2 seconds worth of hot water go down the drain.
That's a decent shower. -And... yes.
Guga took 11 minutes and 3 seconds, so Guga is in the lead for now.
Guga, Bravo. -Thanks.
That's all for part one of The Brightest Light, after the break
We'll look at Stefaan's attempt. See you soon!
And we're back, welcome to part two of The Brightest Light.
Before the break you saw how Olga Leyers tried to melt an ice block by lying on it.
You really did. Ruth, where were we before the break?
Guga was in the lead. For now, because we still have Stefaan's brilliant attempt to go.
Of course! -Because he still had to make the ice block disappear.
How's your back? - Can't complain.
Is that a barbecue? - Yes.
Water on the fire, that's not good, right?
They don't really go together, no. - That's an awful idea as well.
You should never toss water on top of a barbecue.
Fuck it.
I think you have to poke it a bit. - Blow some air.
Don't look anywhere else. - Barely noticeable, this one being gone.
I'll just put that back.
And now we wait. - I think your fire has gone out.
Yes? Seriously? - It's still smoldering a bit...
Okay, let's try something else.
I'm autistic, I can do this for quite a while.
Die.
Four years of drama school, for this. Can't believe it.
Gert Verhulst...
♪ I am Ice the Gnome And together with my hockey... ♪
♪ I'll smash to death to other gnomes and that is not quite wocky. ♪
MELT!
VANISH! - VANISH!
It's not completely gone, right? - No.
There we go. Good, right?
Hey, Stefaan, where did that ice block go?
Beats me. Was there a task to do with ice? Already forgot about it.
Did it disappear? - I think it has disappeared completely.
Then this is where the task ends, I think.
Good job. -Thanks.
Stefaan, I almost can't bring myself to say it, but that was brilliant.
Imagine if he did that straight away, would you have allowed it?
Of course. -Ah yes, disappeared.
Buried it? -Yes, that was exactly it. I remembered
the question later on, 'disappear'.
And I was too late. -It was brilliant.
As opposed to- -Just short of brilliant, no?
Yes, as opposed to the start of the task, when you grilled the ice block.
Yes. -If ice melts, you get water, correct?
Yes. -And if that falls on the fire, it goes out.
So- -Yes, yes.
Yes, that wasn't logical. -No, that wasn't logical.
But that's been a problem my entire life, logic.
Would you like to know your time, or are you indifferent?
Time is relative, of course. -Time is relative.
Your time is not my time. And vice versa. -No, naturally.
So- But tell us, tell us. -Yes, okay.
Guga was in the lead with 11 minutes, in front of Frieda, Sven and Olga.
Yes? -But then...
Badapap pap pap pap puuuum.
And it stays that way.
Which also means we can update the standings, Ruth.
We can update the standings. -First!
Unfortunately not. Stefaan, you remain in last place. -Yes, Stefaan stays in last place.
Because he needed 45 minutes en 22 seconds.
No luck at games means luck at love, of course.
Which means we can move on to the next task right away.
The next task was extremely modern. -Oh?
Yes, yes. Something to do with art, and grass.
Artificial grass.
Running and everything.
Look at you. - Great.
Careful you don't exhaust yourself.
You feel at home straight away, on such a pitch. - On a hockey field, it just...
Have a look. Your mail. - My mail.
It's airmail.
'Create the best image for Gert
By following a certain path on this field.'
'This device will register the path you take.'
'You've got half an hour, and time starts
once you cross the sidelines.'
The sidelines. Which sideline? - They're often the ones on the side.
What will you be making for Gert?
I've got a plan. Hold this.
And we're not allowed to know? - You'll see in a bit.
How exciting.
I 'm afraid it's not clear to everyone yet.
No, well, then I'll explain. -Yes, please do.
So the candidates got a smartphone, with a certain app installed.
That drew a line through GPS wherever they walked on the field.
And so they had to walk around the field to draw a figure.
Let's have a look at the attempts of Frieda, Olga, Sven and Guga.
What's it gonna be? - Something in the style of Keith Haring.
It's ambitious, I know, but I'm going to try.
Okay, so what is your idea exactly? -Nothing, you'll see. Wait up.
Is there a reason you're walking sideways?
Because it keeps me aligned to my mental image.
Hold up, I need a proper think right now.
This is actually pretty pleasant.
I'm already liking it, Olga.
He's running and everything.
Are you just getting into shape now, or what?
Or are you getting me into shape?
Come on, man.
Guga...
It's going well.
If you walk backwards, is that erasing it? - No, no.
No, I have to go that way.
Ah, side stitches.
Daddy, when are we going home?
Done.
Nice. - Nice, right?
All right. - I won't be moving.
No, you're not moving, so we'll move instead.
We'll get someone to pick you up, one of these days.
Will someone be taking my place here? - Yeah, sure. Bye now.
Voila, that was the most tiring task, in my opinion.
If I can ask, do we have the drawings?
Yes, we've got 4 beautiful works of art. Have a look, 4 beautiful creations in a row.
Well, in a square. And you, Gert, have to guess who drew which ones.
Let's start with the first drawing. -Yes?
It's someone- -First thoughts?
Someone who drew outside the lines, not very inspired, it has something to do with sports...
So that can only be Guga, I think.
That's right, Gert. -You just copied that!
We were on a hockey field, so I asked "what can I draw?"
A hockey field.
And the second drawing? -The second drawing, Gert...
Yes, it looks very childish, so that has to be Olga. Has to be.
Yes! O hearts G.
And what does the G stand for, Olga?
Guess who? -For Goat, randy and old.
No, but it could have been for Guga, for example. -That's true.
Ah, right, so it's a double meaning. But no, it was really meant as Gert.
And are you hoping to score extra points with that?
Yes.
Okay. Good, I'll keep it in mind.
We have one more drawing, I hope? -Sure do.
I can read- -Tetten. (TN: Tits) That's by Stefaan.
It says something else. -Kermit! Kermit!
Ah, wait, I can see Te Koop (For Sale) -Hela, hela.
Kermit, Kermit! -For sale?
Wait up. I don't know - although I guess it's by someone who is looking proud
That someone recognized the frog. Is it yours, Sven? -Yes, yes.
It says "For Sale". And Kermit was correct too, that's the frog.
So Kermit is for sale? -A frog, was the plan originally?
Yes, yes.
It was? Could you explain Sven, it wasn't your plan originally, right?
It wasn't to start with, I wanted to draw Mickey Mouse, really.
But it turned into a frog in the end, yes.
So first I wanted to say "Disneyland is for sale", Gert.
So you could buy it, with all your theme parks. What's one more, right.
But then I could tell "It's not Mickey Mouse, this will be a frog."
So it'll be Frogland. -That's what the people want, of course.
Yes, but wait, wait, wait, Gert. Because Sven had already...
Come up with a theme song. Have a look. -Oh wow.
♪ Come along to Frogland, In there it's so grand, ♪
♪ Studio 100 would like to invite you to Frogland. ♪
♪In there it's grand!♪
Yes. -There you have it.
Your thoughts? -The drawing is questionable, but the song makes up for it.
We've still got a fourth drawing. -That's true.
That has to be Frieda's. -By Keith Haring, wasn't it?
Yes, right? -That's The Kicker.
Who is Keith Haring? For all the people who haven't heard of him.
A painter, postmodernist, or what's it called. -Graffiti-like, right?
We've got- -I've got an example of an actual Keith Haring, look.
Not bad, right? It's close enough. -I think that's great.
It's almost an exact copy. -Yes, it's a bit disco dancing!
I really like it. -No, it's nice, congratulations Frieda, truly.
Really, for now I'll put you in first place, but...
But... -There's still Stefaan.
Okay, Stefaan. Your thoughts? Are you going for it? - We're going for it, Ruth.
I wonder what it will be. - Dalí can kiss his ass goodbye.
Careful with what you do, everything's being registered.
I think it's fantastic.
I want this at home.
Just colouring in now.
I've had enough of these balloons.
Find someone else to be your hospital clown.
Colouring.
This will be beautiful.
And why are you walking backwards?
Well... No clue.
What is it?
I'm done. - Stay there.
And how do you think this will impress Gert?
I should hope it does. If he knows anything about art
Then that's the winning drawing. - Okay. Thanks, Stefaan.
You can go now. - Thanks.
Sorry. It's a tight squeeze.
Stefaan, the expectations are sky-high,
And you seemed very self-assured there. Are you still?
Self-assured, I was just glad with the end result.
You've already seen it, so it's become a beautiful drawing?
I'm very happy with it, yes. -It's really something...
Art? -You've never seen it before.
Do you think the people will like it?
Well, that's subjective, but I think so.
Let's have a look. -The piece by Stefaan Degand.
It looks like Tweety or something. -It's...
Alfred J. Kwak? -Yes, but in a terminal phase, I think.
Or are we looking at it the wrong way, Stefaan?
Might it be upside down? -The piece has a name, naturally.
It does? -It's called 'Dancing Pinocchio.'
And we can see the nose there? -That's correct.
We're speechless. -Yes.
And I can now announce you've earned one whole point with this drawing.
Thanks for that.
I'll be keeping it simple, two points to Guga for the amazing hockey field.
Three points to Olga. Are you angry? You seem angry. -I'm slightly disappointed.
With a declaration of love-
On national TV, and I only get 3 points. -Gert has different tastes.
Four points to the frog of Sven, and that's mainly because of the song.
And the beautiful Keith Haring-imitation by Frieda gets her 5 points.
Finally!
Okay, that gives us a new interim score, Gert. -I would hope so.
Which is: bungling in last place, still Stefaan Degand.
Anything can still happen. -And in the lead, it's Sven de Ridder!
But I do have to say, they're close- -They're all very close to one another.
Anything could happen.
The final house task, that's right, the final task today.
And it seemed like an easy enough task...
But there was a snake in the grass.
'Make an impressive list...'
'Of as many animals as possible. You have 3 minutes, time starts now.'
Once you've sat down, I'll start the clock and leave you alone to think.
Bye now.
A list with as many animals as possible...
Mosquito...
Animals, that should be way easier than this.
Eagle.
Does a mammoth still count?
A finch...
A jan-van-gent*... (*Lit: Jan from Ghent. A bird)
Hold up. (*Lit: Jan from Ghent. A bird)
All species of birds? Wait. Could I do a dodo?
Woodpecker...
Sparrow...
Rabbit...
Buzzard...
Falcon...
Aardvark. Mudskipper.
Crane fly...
Frieda? Time is up.
Okay, yes. I had just about reached the end of my Latin. [end of my rope]
Is it in Latin? - No, it's not.
And? - Yes, animals, you know.
Did it go okay? - Yes.
Difficult? - Yes, quite a bit, yes.
Yes, I'm not too sure.
Here's my list. - Don't show me.
Here, I've got another task for you.
What the hell? - Don't tell me I have to imitate an animal now.
Of course not. - Hunt one of the animals on your list.
And eat it completely, down to the bones.
Gert's imagination knows no- And wouldn't you know.
What does it say?
'Imitate as many of your animals as possible and make Ruth guess.'
'Whoever gets Ruth to guess the most animals, wins. you've got 10 minutes.'
Do we have to do that in the rain? - Time is running.
Come on, come, come.
Is that already an imitation? - No, no.
Yes Ruth...
The classic double envelope trick.
Who among you regretted your animal choices the moment you read the second task?
Put your hands up if so.
Not you, Sven? You were easily going to imitate the mudskipper?
Anyway, let us just have a look at Olga and Stefaan first?
Time starts now. - I hate this.
A dog? -...Yes.
A mouse? -Yes.
A rat. -Yes.
A porky pig.
You're in pain? - A porcupine!
Don't give it away!
An eagle? -Yes!
A lion. -Yes.
A tiger? -Yes.
A polar bear. -Yes.
Wait. As well as...
A brown bear. -Yes.
As well as... as well as...
A raccoon! (TN: A washing bear)
Gimme a Cola Light. Gimme a Cola Light.
Thick, fat bitch. Thick, fat bitch. Thick, fat bitch.
- A parrot?
Like it's inside out. - A hairless cat.
Say Olga, that could have been done easier, right.
Forget the list. I've just about had enough.
Is there nothing else on your list? - I don't think so.
Pig, porcupine, whale, dolphin, panda, dog, cat, fly... What, ssht?
You didn't do a dolphin. If you do a proper imitation now, I'll allow it.
What does a dolphin sound like? - Come on...
Ah yes, Skippy, of course. Okay, then I'll do that. Here it is.
Constipated dolphin.
A long-haired dachshund. - No.
But it is a dog?
A Yorkshire? - No, no.
Four more seconds.
Stop. - I know one more.
What's that?
An aja bird?
Then what is it?
Come on, what is it? - A great white shark.
On the hunt. Is that a prey? Ah ya. Eh.
That's a great white, on the hunt. - Who sees some prey. "Ah, ya!"
Voilà.
And did they score some points, dear Ruth?
Yes, they actually did quite well. I could guess 21 animals by Olga.
And by Stefaan, 16. That's also good. -That's a decent amount.
But Stefaan, afterwards it turned out that 5 of the animals I guessed
Were not on your list. So those- -They really weren't on there?
No, no, no. -I wrote those in Braille. Just feel for them.
Ah, dolphin. That's right. -No. So those were subtracted.
So Stefaan ended up with 11 animals. -Disappointing. But it's okay. 11 animals.
11 animals, congratulations. But Olga is in the lead, for now.
And this is the end of part two of The Brightest Light. After the break
the imitations of Frieda and Sven are waiting for you, as well as the those by the best impressionist on earth:
Guga Baúl! See you soon!
There, welcome to the third, as well as unfortunately the final part
Unfortunate, right? -Yes, time flies. Of The Brightest Light.
Where were we? -Gert, we were imitating animals...
And we've already seen Olga and Stefaan.
So we'll now look at the attempts by Frieda and Guga.
You're an impressionist, so...
This should be easy. - Okay.
Start.
A dog. - Yes, right, okay.
Cat.
Giraffe. - Yes, right.
Giraffe.
Piggie?That's a cute pig.
Sheep?
Now you're just being difficult. - No, I think it's great. A chicken.
♪ Let it be, let it be, let it be... ♪ - A beetle.
Huh, it's January? No, not yet. ♪ Let it be, let it be...♪
Or February? ♪ Let it be, let it be.♪
♪ Let it be... ♪ - A maybeetle.
A horse? -Correct.
And the others are too difficult. - Come on Frieda, 7 more minutes.
Okay. A bird with blue and orange, in two parts.
First part is frozen... - A kingfisher. (Dutch: An icebird)
Hey, hello, are you... Are you Pieter from Antwerp?
Pleased to meet you, I'm...
Guga from Ostend? - No, but it's...
No, no, I am... Ah well.
The first part refers to the Earth, And the second part is...
An aardvark.
I'm Pieter from Antwerp. And you are...?
Ruth. - You're Pieter from Antwerp, I'm...
Pieter from Antwerp? Ah, Jan from Ghent.
Bravo.
I don't have any more. But you're great at guessing animals.
And you're great at...
explaining animals.
And you hit the nail on the head there, Ruth.
It was slightly disappointing, Guga. You're the best impressionist we know.
Yes. If you make a list with a great cormorant...
And an antbeetle-thingie, then I don't know how to imitate those either.
So the animals you had were too ambitious? -Yes, it was... exactly.
And Frieda, you did something similar, right? -I did make the odd noise here and there.
Yes, but... -Yes, but those didn't come from your mouth.
So to be clear, the animals you two described,
Which Ruth managed to guess, will not be scored.
Guga, I managed to find 6 actual imitations in your footage.
And in Frieda's, seven.
Ah, look. -Oh, would you look at that.
So we still have one animal imitator to go.
Hmm. And that has to be Sven. -Yes, I would hope so.
And you didn't have great luck with the weather, Sven.
Yes, it was raining. -But you went all out.
Kaketoe!
A cockatoo.
A dolphin?
A turkey. - No, no.
A movie. Free Willy. Killer whale.
A pig.
Moss. - No.
Grass. - No.
What is that? - Sand.
So... - Mud.
A sand hog. - No.
Aardvark. - Of course, aardvark.
A pigeon? - No.
Mega Mindy. - No.
Bat. Batmouse. I mean, Batman. A bat.
Kopke krab. - For sure. A parrot?
A chicken.
Gorilla. Wow, that was good.
Chimpanzee.
A bonobo. -No, but...
An orangutan.
Flamingo.
Large...
Elephant? - Yes, but small.
A small elephant. - So that's a...
Baby elephant. - No.
Imagine... - Stop.
A tapir.
Super good.
So you are a good actor after all.
Respect, Sven. Respect. I'm- -Thanks. I'll take the compliment.
Amazed. Astonished. But he had to beat Olga's amazing score
In order to win. Did he manage to do that?
Well, I guessed... 32 animals.
Which means Sven wins this tasks, and that I'm very curious about our standings.
Which looks like this.
No major changes, Stefaan still in last place with 7 points.
And Sven in the lead with 17 points. -Bravo.
Yes, and now it's time for the final task, here, live in the studio.
And we'll finally find out who will put a Star Wars doll on E-Bay.
And thus will make Sven de Ridder cry.
Look at that, everyone is at the ready and it seems they're slightly tied up.
I feel like an employee in one of your theme parks.
This should be good. Ruth, who will be reading the task?
Guga, could you read the task?
'Collect as many rabbits as possible in your hat in one minute.
Don't undo the belt, and wear your hat at all times.
Whoever collects the most rabbits wins.'
Three... two... one...
Yes, that's good Sven!
Olga, your belt is already undone. -No, the belt isn't undone.
Yes, but you're not supposed- -The belt is not undone!
Olga, that won't count, you'll be disqualified. -No!
You're supposed to do it like Sven. -No!
The belt is not undone! -Just toss the rabbits in.
Well, I guess I'll just help you? -No, no, I want to do it myself.
Does anyone want some help?
Half a minute left. -The belt is not undone.
Mine never is either, it's always quite tight.
You've got grandkids? Take this.
Oh, almost Sven. You're doing good.
I'll try it with a book now. -Yes, Sven, great!
Frieda, any luck? -Yes, I don't think I, eh...
Time is up. Yes.
I think it takes some practice.
Stefaan, I'm not sure what happened, but I feel like all the rabbits fell out.
Yes, they're not in the hat. -Not in the hat, no.
I think Sven was the only one with the proper execution, and he did well too.
But I propose you start counting rabbits, Ruth, and bring the scores here in a bit.
Ruth, we're very curious. How did they do?
Well, Olga was disqualified, unfortunately.
The belt wasn't undone, Ruth. -Yes, but your arms were loose.
So it doesn't count. -Paper didn't say so.
Frieda and Stefaan unfortunately didn't manage to magic any rabbits into their hats.
So both of them get 0 points by right.
And then- -Zero points by right?
Yes, by right- -Yes, those people have rights too.
Strange, but okay. -Isn't it just?
Absolutely. -And then there's Sven.
Who got 4 rabbits into his hat.
Which gives him 4 points. And the grand winner of the final task is
Guga, with 11 rabbits and 5 points!
Yes, but we do have to add...
That Sven was the only one who did it completely according to the ancient traditions.
Anyway, it is what it is. -That's true, but it doesn't really
Matter for the final standings, because this is it:
The final standings, here you go!
Yes, Sven wins! -And Sven wins today with an amazing 21 points!
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of The Brightest Light this week is
Sven de Ridder!
Yes Sven, you'll be able to take all the beautiful prizes into your possesion in a bit.
Thanks Frieda van Wijck! Thanks Olga!
Thanks Guga! And of course thanks Stefaan!
And of course I have to thank my amazing assistant, Ruth Beeckmans!
Thank you.
And that's it for this episode of The Brightest Light.
I'd like to thank you for watching, and remember:
If you go for a swim in the sea, and you hear: "Ah ya. Ah ya."
Then swim for your life. Good night!
