Here's a description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to add later!
- Inês brings in a picture of herself disguised as a man. No context is provided as to why she’s disguised as a man; presumably it is for a role. Vasco awards her first place.
- Gilmário brings in a picture that, as he puts it, shows the evolution of his income over the years. It’s a compilation of three pictures of himself – one as a child, one at the beginning of his comedy career, and a more recent one. Vasco reveals that simply Googling ‘Gilmário Vemba’ will bring up those pictures – while everyone else brought personal photos - and awards Gilmário last place.
- Jessica starts out by saying she is not confident in her picture, and that the entire reason she finds the photo surprising is that she does not see the purpose in keeping such a picture. Jessica’s picture is of herself as a baby, crying and screaming. Vasco awards Jessica fourth place.
- Toy brings in a photo of himself as a younger man in the late 1980's, “about 25kg ago”. In the picture, Toy is posing on the beach in a small pair of Speedos. Vasco awards him second place.
- Carla brings in a recent picture of herself. She tells a story about how she was on the beach, and she saw a woman selling food on the beach, and Carla offered to help the woman carry and sell the baskets of food. Vasco says that he was touched by the story, but he knows Carla and is not surprised that she would do something so nice. Vasco awards her third place.
