Previously on Beauty and the Geek…

PREVIOUSLY

It's special to see how much a new look can do for someone.

-But I do look good. -You do, right?

Honestly, his transformation is the best one until now.

He's mine.

The first couple that can prepare themselves for the elimination round is,

unfortunately, Quinty and Leon again.

-No. -Well. Okay.

There is another couple that's going to prepare themselves, Quinten and Gigi.

It will be the final battle.

-I wanted to talk to you. -You might leave today.

Would you go on a date with me?

-It's a deal. -It's a deal.

I've never been in love,

but with Pauline I can't wait to see where it will lead to.

You're going to assemble one on your own.

Jesus, this is difficult.

You can count on me, but not to build this. Gosh.

There we see the first difficulties.

-Oh, my cabinet. -God.

-Oh, Leon. -What's happening?

All good?

Come on.

Both teams can still win.

-Come on, Leon. -It's evenly matched.

Wrong screw.

-What are you doing? -They have to go in.

One already has a door in it.

-The other team is starting. -They're starting on the door now.

Okay.

-You need a screw? -Don't close this first.

Okay.

-Ready? -Ready.

No!

A little inspection.

-Yes. -It's a bit wobbly.

Yes.

Yes, even after the inspection, I can say Leon and Quinty have won.

You're the best.

So crazy. We've won. I'm so happy. So proud.

QUINTY (24) PAIRED WITH LEON

The third elimination. We play on. The tough never go down.

Leon and Quinty, you win it for the third time.

But that means, Gigi and Quinten, it's game over for you.

I can say we really enjoyed having you on the show.

Seeing your journey and the progress you've made.

You brought a good vibe.

It's over. It's shit. It's shittier for Quinten.

GIGI (25) PAIRED WITH QUINTEN

I know this was his big adventure.

His dream has fallen apart. I feel more sorry for him than myself.

-You've made friends for life. -Yeah.

-But this means you must say goodbye now. -Yeah.

Come here.

-Thanks for everything. -No problem.

We win. I'm super happy, for two seconds.

It's nice but also very emotional, and it's just a real shame.

LEON (22) PAIRED WITH QUINTY

-A bummer. -A bummer. I know.

It's over. I can't speak to Pauline anymore.

QUINTEN (23) PAIRED WITH GIGI

This is… Yeah.

It makes you sick to your stomach.

Realizing that Quinten is going home…

He's especially the person I didn't want to see leaving.

PAULINE (31) PAIRED WITH JONY

-Good luck, everyone. -Thanks.

-Thanks, guys. -Thank you.

-Bye. -Bye.

I'm going to miss Quinten.

I got a bit emotional when he had to go home.

It's tough.

The departure of Quinten and Gigi is a hard blow to the group.

So these true chefs decide to surprise their beauties.

It's fun to make breakfast. Just because we like them.

I'm stressed out.

How did this work again?

Roll to the middle. There.

That bowl is too small.

Shit, damn.

What's up?

I spilled oil on my shirt.

MELVIN (33) PAIRED WITH GARBI

I was putting oil on the baking tray and I left the bottle open.

Very stupid. And I knocked over the bottle and spilled it over my shirt and pants.

My shirt.

Not my best move.

-Yes, you are good to go. Look at that. -Okay. Thank you.

Hello, hello. Breakfast in bed.

Good morning.

-Do you want breakfast? -Yes.

-How sweet. -Your breakfast.

-Hi. -Hello.

Shit.

It can happen.

Will it be one of those days?

This is the second time I've spilled something.

He started to cry.

It doesn't matter. Accidents happen.

Breathe in, breathe out. Okay.

-Did you have a good sleep? -Not too bad.

The ones who I get along well with always leave.

Veerte, my roommate, left.

And now Quinten too.

So it's a tougher morning than others.

-But I'm glad you're still here. -There you go.

-That's the most important thing. -I'm happy you're here,

-so we can finish it off well here. -Yes, sure.

So it makes the bond between Jony and me tighter.

He's always there when I feel a bit down.

He also understands everything I say or mean.

Pauline and I have a good bond of trust.

Very cute. With this little vase.

It's very easy to talk to her.

It's effortless.

That's why we're one of the most relaxed couples here.

I've benefited a lot from Quinty these last few days.

I'm very happy I got to be a final couple with her.

Without her I wouldn't have come this far.

It's very hard for me.

Three eliminations.

And you still feel you haven't done everything you could.

That's tough.

I felt that during the first elimination. I really thought, "This is it."

It made me feel bad.

I've learned a lot from you.

Normally I'm the one who needs to give Leon a pep talk.

Now the tables have turned.

You taught me to stay optimistic and positive.

No one here, no one who's still here knows how an elimination round feels.

The pressure is high, it's chaos, your mind is under pressure.

So we're going to do our best.

This is really a good start to the day.

Well done.

I have a mango-orange juice as a drink.

-Because I know you like mango. -Good choice.

What do you think of my collection?

Jesus Christ. Are these all your shoes?

MARCO (25) PAIRED WITH ESTELLE

What the fuck? Why does someone have so many shoes?

-This is half. -This is--

I couldn't bring all of them in two suitcases.

One pair is also fine.

But that makes her a beauty too.

I really hope I get a makeover, because my hair is getting too long.

After breakfast, my own beauty Robin is stopping by the geeks.

Because she lives with me,

she understands like no other how to get the best out of the guys.

How do feel about your couple? I'm curious.

I'm interested in Pauline.

I've never been in love and I think it's possible with her.

There's a possibility of falling in love.

Did you express it to her?

Not really, it needs time.

What do you think Jony thinks of me?

I haven't heard anything.

But I see him approaching you more. And becoming more hands-on.

-With me? -Yes.

But I don't know what Jony thinks of me.

I assume it's just friendly.

-Haven't you asked each other? -No.

I thought it was clear we're just friends.

Maybe for you. Maybe not for him.

If he says nothing, why should I bring it up?

-So he needs to come to you? -Yes.

Well, there's more to come.

Robin is visiting the geeks for a reason.

Marco, Mathijs and Leon.

Does it start with an "m" and end with "akeover"?

-Yes. Today you're getting a makeover. -Yes?

-Marco. -Yes.

Yes, a makeover. Finally.

Not one, not two, but three geeks, and I'm one of them.

-I'm taking you with me. -Now?

-Yes. -Okay. Let's go.

-Let's go. Nice. -Let's go.

It feels like we've become the geeks among the poster boys.

So now we are being made beautiful too.

MATHIJS (27) PAIRED WITH NYCOLE

I've waited very long for this moment.

Gentlemen, the makeover takes place here.

-Nice. -Exciting.

Do you feel like the makeover is going to change something for you?

I think it will give me a confidence boost.

Because back in the day I got bullied for how I look.

So that gave me emotional damage.

By getting a makeover, I think all of us will become more confident.

And for you, Mathijs?

I'm insecure about my hairline.

How long will I have my hair?

Are there any things you don't want?

-Becoming bald. -Okay. We will let them know.

I hope I get to stay myself.

I don't want a fuckboy's haircut, because that's not who I am.

I'm curious.

It's weird not seeing yourself while sitting in a barber chair.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

What can they change about me?

First thing is getting rid of the glasses.

I'm curious to see whether I'll get more confident after the makeover.

-I think I'm in good hands. -I hope so for you.

I'm very curious.

It wouldn't hurt if a group of screaming girls is shouting I look good.

While the guys, week after week, are getting more confident,

Quinty is finding it harder to believe in herself.

How's the energy? How do we feel?

I think it's pretty tough.

-I don't know. -Oh, Quinty.

Are you really crying?

I don't know. It's just a lot.

I understand. Of course.

-I can-- -It feels every time

like I'm not doing it right.

Not good enough.

Barely winning every time, but it doesn't feel like winning.

I don't have confidence.

-We have confidence in you. -I understand.

I'm happy Leon is being more positive and he's the one giving me pep talks.

Yeah.

You're a super strong person and you show it time and time again.

-We can say that a lot. -Yes, you're strong person.

If someone deserves a spot in the final, it's you.

-It's you. -That's sweet.

-Amen and out. -Honestly.

-We're going for it. -Let's go.

-Okay? -Yes.

High five. Yeah!

Yeah!

-Yes! -Yes!

Jony is about to take a big risk.

He's been having these feelings he doesn't know what to do with.

But the moment is now here.

He has decided to finally share it with Pauline.

I wanted to talk to you privately.

Because we're at the end of our story.

And because I'm starting to develop feelings for you.

Seriously?

I think it's important to express myself.

Maybe there's more than friendship with Pauline from my side.

I think it's important to take the opportunity now,

otherwise I'd sell myself short.

I don't want to say I'm in love.

But I do have feelings for you…

How do you say it? It's the first time I'm feeling such a thing.

I'm not sure what he's feeling.

Maybe because we're so comfortable together,

he thinks he's starting to get feelings or something.

Does Jony have feelings for her? I think so.

I think everyone has feelings for Pauline.

She's a geek who looks pretty.

I think Jony is asking Pauline where she's at.

-Okay. -Really?

I was wondering where you're at in all of this.

And how you see our relationship.

I think we're a good team and we talk easily with each other.

I feel comfortable around you.

-To me it's friendship. -Friendship.

But I'm happy to be in a team with you.

If I had to pick someone, it would be you.

-Thank you. We're a good team. -Yes.

I'm happy you feel free to say anything to me. Come here.

It's never nice to reject someone.

But we're not only sharing superficial things.

We know we can say anything to each other.

I think he accepts it when I say, "For me the feeling is not the same."

I think Jony can handle it well.

-We want more. -We want juice.

I want to see a kissing geek.

I feel relieved having been able to be this open.

It wasn't easy, but I know where I stand now.

JONY(30) PAIRED WITH PAULINE

And I can't wait to do the next assignment.

-Yes, hello. -Hello.

-Hello! -Hello.

You all look beautiful. Are we excited?

-Yes! -All right.

Nycole, let's start with your Mathijs.

What do you expect?

I hope he's still himself. But just a bit better. A fresher look.

I'm very curious about my little Mathijs.

I can't wait to see him.

-Are we excited? -Yes!

Very dull.

-Are you excited? -Yes!

Here's Mathijs!

I'm scared.

Come on!

That's my geek!

He's a bad boy with his leather jacket and his smooth haircut.

Yeah. He looks like a snack.

I feel pretty cool.

Mathijs!

I don't think they've cheered so much for me like this before.

Ten out of ten. Honestly. I knew they would change his glasses.

Even the jacket, what the fuck.

Nycole gave me a ten out of ten. Well, that's pretty good.

-Are you ready, Mathijs? -Definitely.

This is your moment.

Okay, Mathijs. This is the new you.

Wow.

Wow.

Holy shit.

-Do you like it? -Yes.

I definitely like it.

It's takes a little getting used to the thick frame.

-Yeah? -I feel like a mafia boss.

Mafia boss. The sophisticated, chic look. But also tough with the leather jacket.

Round of applause for Mathijs.

Mathijs 2.0. He looks a lot like Mathijs 1.0.

But with a big upgrade.

Nycole, how does it feel sitting next to a mafia boss?

I'm scared.

No, he looks really good.

We were talking about his glasses. He said, "I don't want a thicker frame."

-But believe me, this is your thing. -Okay.

Women will find him ten times more attractive now.

NYCOLE (22) PAIRED WITH MATHIJS

He's more swaggy. Just more fierce.

-Quinty, you're a couple with Leon. -Yes.

We see his confidence growing more and more.

I see that too.

He confirms it, so that's really nice to see.

We also heard it's because of you.

-Because he's a couple with you. -Yeah.

-How does it feel hearing that? -Very nice, that's why I do it.

Leon has changed internally pretty much already.

And he's even lost some weight.

Now the total package should fit.

Let's bring Leon.

Yes!

Here is…

Leon!

Yes, yes, Leon.

Wow. What an outfit.

Very nice. That haircut, really great.

I'm walking on the catwalk feeling I'm pretty good-looking.

Leon!

-Really amazing. -Super, Leon.

-How does it feel? -Good.

I'm curious about how I look.

Great. The haircut is really different.

-Yeah? Okay. -Very nice. You look good.

Quinty reacts nicely, complimentary.

It's giving me a warm feeling.

-Leon, are you ready? -I'm totally ready.

In the past people have been negative about your looks.

-Yes. -Forget about those remarks.

Embrace this moment. This is your moment.

Okay, Leon, you can turn around now.

-Wow! The haircut. -I told you so.

Damn. Neat.

Who's this guy?

The first thing I thought, "What a smooth guy."

Wow.

What do you think about this version of you?

-I look good. I think I do. -Absolutely.

You look great.

A real successful makeover.

I'm totally ready for the final.

Applause.

-You can take a seat. -Okay.

I'm very nervous. I start to get sweaty hands.

ESTELLE (24) PAIRED WITH MARCO

Yes, Estelle. Marco has taken some big steps socially.

Do you think this makeover will give him a push in the right direction?

It's the last push for him.

Let's bring him here.

Guys, this is the last one.

-Are you ready? -Yes!

Here is…

Marco!

Oh, guys.

Seeing Marco walking on that catwalk with this great confidence…

And he even had some cool moves.

Walking on the catwalk like that,

it really felt like this is the confident Marco.

How does it feel?

It feels like I've become this father who has his life in order.

-Yeah, Estelle? -Happy?

-It's good. It worked out well. -Yes?

I think we should lock Marco up, because he's going to get every girl.

-Marco, are you curious? -Very curious.

Let's not wait any longer.

You can turn around now.

Okay.

I can get used to this haircut. Nice.

It was overwhelming. Really nice.

I think with this change it's easier to start a conversation.

If I see someone who looks nice, it's now easier to approach her.

These were all the makeovers.

Gentlemen, you all look great.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

We still have a little surprise.

You will see it at the apartments.

-Okay. -Okay.

-See you later. -How exciting.

See you later.

I'm thinking cocktails as a surprise.

A karaoke night or something.

A pool party would be nice too. Or a pizza party.

Something nice.

A miniskirt, a top, put on some heels and let's go.

There's a clothing rack with pilgrim outfits.

Like these medieval outfits with a musty smell.

I'm like, "Where's the cocktail party?"

-This is black with white. -A knight outfit.

-Get out. -That's not nice.

I saw the most terrible dress I've ever seen and it even smelled.

They smell weird.

-Old. It smells of old age. -It smells.

It smells and it's sexless. There's nothing fun about that.

We look like a bunch of Harry Potters.

No way.

If we see such costumes, our inner child comes out.

What's that role-play called? If you do this for real?

-LARPing. -LARPing. Yes. We're going LARPing.

To the Middle Ages.

We're going into our challenge as a knight.

That's so cool.

It's pretty heavy.

This is going to look so funny with all of us. I can't wait.

Guys, seriously.

-No way. -What?

I could actually cry.

Cry really hard.

Am I the only one interested in why this?

Are we going to see a medieval show? That's so fun.

Maybe it's the geek in me that comes out.

I liked it. I like to dress up.

-I look weird. -Like an evil princess.

-Exactly. -I'm curious about what the men look like.

-Boys. -Yes.

-Yo! -No way!

I feel like a knight. But I have two lightsabers.

So I feel like Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Who landed on a planet during the Middle Ages.

That's a pretty interesting combination.

It hurt my little finger.

-I never expected to dress up like this. -No.

And the boys… Are the boys going to be knights who will save us?

Yell, yell, yell, we'll keep the beauties well.

And right before the final of Beauty and the Geek,

I've called up these brave warriors to help me.

Look at them walking. Graceful as ever.

The couples will battle for a spot in the final.

The clothing is not helping.

What have we gotten ourselves into?

I really feel like a knight.

Our queens.

I see the damsels from a distance. And I want to get closer quickly.

Wow!

Also "wow" to you.

-Thank you. -My ladies.

You just had your makeover and are getting downgraded right away.

Yeah.

Marco has been making jokes about plagues and witches for 15 minutes.

Five of my teeth have fallen out already.

I don't want this anymore.

If we really were princesses in danger

and these were the knights that had to save us, I don't think we'll end up fine.

Witchcraft.

No, I don't think it will be fine.

Welcome subjects, to this magical forest.

Today you're going to immerse yourselves into the world of LARP.

Live-action role-play.

As of this moment, I'm the mysterious princess

who hasn't felt the love for this king yet.

But I've found something

that might kindle the love of this beautiful princess, Robin.

Bram is completely in his role.

He's really made for this.

I've been looking for this heart-shaped magical amulet for years.

-Oh, no. -The Heart Spark Stone.

The Heart Spark Stone.

-The Heart Spark Stone. -A real big deal.

-Yes. -The Heart Spark Stone.

-Wow. -Wow.

This amulet has magical powers

that will kindle the love of this beautiful lady, Robin.

I don't really feel like doing it.

-No, but now you do. -Oh, sorry.

The magical amulet can be found in this ancient forest.

It's up to you, my brave warriors,

-to find this Heart-shaped… -Heart Spark Stone.

…and bring it back to Bram the Fiery One.

Yes. And I'm looking for the bravest warriors.

Because big obstacles await you.

What do you think of the invisible bridge?

Or bloodthirsty orcs?

Of what about the cursed gates?

-No. -Scary.

Whoever finds this amulet, will win the challenge.

The couple that wins this challenge

earns a spot in the final.

Oh, okay.

It made me nervous to realize

the winner would get a spot in the final.

So, subjects, are you ready?

Yes!

I can't hear you.

Yes!

That leaves me to say, "Let's LARP!"

We really want to reach the final.

We're going to give 100%.

I want to reach the final so badly.

Go ahead. Go towards the magical forest.

-Okay. -The Heart Spark Stone.

The Heart Spark Stone.

I'm getting stressed and my stomach hurts. I see men.

It's a nightmare.

Okay, this is exciting.

Welcome to your nightmare.

The couples come to a magical bridge

with an invisible route that only the gatekeeper knows.

With every step they have to look at the gatekeeper.

Do they receive an approving nod? Then they go on. Or does a red card appear?

It means they stood on the wrong tile and have to go back to the start.

There are weapons at the end.

But there are more couples than weapons.

Whoever doesn't reach it, game over. Exit.

If you guess wrong the first time, you have to start over.

No, we have to go that way.

Okay.

We thought of using stones and twigs as a reference point.

Okay, walk back.

I have brain fog either way. I forget things quickly.

I said, "You know, Mathijs, I trust you. You do it."

One forward.

-Fuck. -Oh, my god. I want to die.

-Right, left, left. -Right, left, left.

Shit.

We got him.

I once memorized 50 digits in pi,

so I was like, left, right, right left. That's easy, I got this.

I was like, "Jony, listen to me, I got this."

Come on, Pauline.

Left, right, right, left.

No, left.

I just follow you.

I had little confidence in that moment.

So I was happy being next to someone like Pauline,

who took me to the right spots. I had to follow.

Left, right, right, left…

-Left, right, left, right. -Left, right, left, left.

-Right. -Right.

-Yes! Come here. -Come.

-Oh, my god. -That's…

It felt so good. Like we'd won already.

-To the right. -No, left.

Left and right.

-Yes! -Yes!

We were standing here the last time. We were.

-We made it. Yes! -Yes!

Yes!

Then there are two couples left. But only one couple goes through.

Everywhere I hear, "Yeah! We got it!"

We still don't have it. So I start to feel stressed.

GARBI (22) PAIRED WITH MELVIN

I thought forward.

-No, I think it's here. -I think here.

It's really difficult.

Shit.

Again, to the start.

Shit.

It doesn't look good for us.

Forward, again.

Well, unfortunately…

Okay, and then…

Left.

-This one? -That one, yes.

-That one? -This one.

-Yes! -Yes!

Yes, that's it.

We got it.

I could cry. Honestly. Oh, my god.

-We're the last ones. -We are left.

Mathijs!

Shit.

Mathijs can't remember it. He just can't.

Yeah, Mathijs is not doing great.

That means we're not competing in the next challenges.

So that's a shame.

Let's go to the tavern.

Mathijs and Nycole stay behind. They will return after the challenge.

To complete the LARP feeling,

we've put some orcs in the forest for these heroic beauties and geeks.

Get them.

I saw a very violent Estelle over there.

I needed that with my relationships.

Three, two…

My nail!

I broke my nail. Now I'm really upset.

Attack!

Get him.

Play time is over, boys and girls. Back to some serious work.

The next assignment awaits you.

Watch out for the tree.

Ah, yeah. That's right.

Hello.

Mortals, did you find my Heart Spark Stone already?

-No, sire. -No.

-Why not? -There was an ambush, my Lord.

I said, "Find that fucking stone and you all…"

All right.

I also see that you have lost a couple.

And to think that there are still numerous invisible enemies.

But you can arm yourself against them.

With a magical, beautiful hug.

-I like it. -Yes.

You're going to hug for 90 seconds.

The two couples who are the closest to that, will go through.

The two couples who are the furthest away from that,

will be locked up in my deepest dungeon.

That's not fun.

The time starts when I give the sign.

The time stops when you step back and there is no contact again.

Ready?

Estelle trusted me to count. I appreciate that from her.

That she gives me control. Because that's a thing for her.

Letting go of control.

Then we start in three, two, one…

-Begin. -Start.

The time starts and I was thinking of a microwave.

Sometimes I look at one and I watch the food because I'm hungry

and I want it to be ready quickly. It makes me think how slowly it can go.

One, two, three, four…

To me it was calming tapping every second on my own hand.

It gave me focus.

I was thinking of a microwave.

Like when I warm up my chocolate milk.

I'm in my head. 57, 58, 59…

Huh?

He wants to let go. I was getting an error. Stay here.

We're not doing this. We're not even close.

Maybe two-thirds. Not where we have to be.

I thought, "Please let go."

But we're we hugging each other longer and longer,

while I thought, "We are way past 90 seconds."

I hear Melvin's heartbeat every time and that's very distracting.

I lost count.

The hug was very calming.

It was another way to connect.

Yes, 90 seconds. I let go.

I see Leon and Quinty to be the first to let go.

I felt they were too early.

I'm the one who decided we're letting go

and Jony doesn't trust it very much.

I was only at 78 seconds, so I was like, "Wow. That's too fast."

I heard everyone letting go. Why were they letting go so early?

I was still at 20. I was like, "They're going to lose."

In my head we were at like 91 or 92.

I was at 70 seconds.

-Did you think 60? -No, I was really at 90.

It was way less.

Fellow countrymen, my beautiful lady, Robin…

Princess.

-Princess has the results. -Thank you.

The first couple to continue their quest

with 113 seconds is…

Jony and Pauline.

And the second couple that goes through is…

Quinty and Leon.

You were exactly at 90 seconds.

Get out! You're really amazing.

I was like, "I have to keep holding you." You were going too fast.

I regularly use a tanning bed.

And with those last minutes I always count if I get the seconds right.

That means two of you will have to go the dungeon.

Estelle and Marco, you had a time of 128 seconds.

I was actually thinking, "I have to get that control back."

"I want it back."

Melvin and Garbi, you had a time of 135 seconds.

135 seconds.

One and half times longer. What went wrong?

I really thought I was at 90.

Garbi thought we only were at 70.

You will also go to the deep, dark dungeon

and languish there on bread and water.

The others continue this quest to find this damn stone.

Get out of my sight.

-Thank you, my Lord. -Get out.

-Sire. -Find that stone.

That godforsaken Heart Spark Stone.

I still have a bone to pick with you.

We'll see them later.

There are still two couples left.

But only one couple gets a free pass to the final.

The nerves are coming up. It's just the four of us in the forest.

I have a 50% chance of winning it.

For each couple, there are two poles with magical orbs.

The assignment?

Shoot the orbs with a bow and arrow.

If you hit all of the orbs, a magical gate will open.

But behind that gate, the most difficult challenge awaits.

Finding my Heart Spark Stone.

I feel confident.

I've done this before, so I'm happy with this assignment.

I've always been good at hand-eye coordination,

so I felt confident about shooting with a bow and arrow.

I like the bow and arrow. But under pressure for a spot in the final?

I hold it and I feel like an archer.

I think we got this.

-Pauline. -I won't hit it like that.

Pauline did most of the first two assignments.

And I felt I had to show I could be useful in this assignment.

-Yes, one. -Fuck yes.

-Jony, I love you, my buddy. -Pauline, we can do it.

I'm so thankful he hit the ball. I was so happy.

Oh, no.

Focus. Your arm, shoulder height.

Yes, great job.

I'm so thankful for this man.

Where do we have to look?

I'll continue.

-Almost. -Come on, come on.

On the ground or in a tree.

There.

Here.

-I got it. -Seriously?

Fuck yeah!

I never expected to reach the final and that it would make me feel so happy.

Good job.

Well done! Oh, my god, Jony. What a good job.

Jony.

-Damn. -Fortunately, it's not game over yet.

That's so good.

Jony shot the balls off and found the necklace in the forest.

I'm so happy and proud of him.

It shows again we did well together.

Show me that Heart Spark… Wow. That's it.

It shows Jony and I are a great team. We're so happy.

Who managed to find my Heart Spark Stone?

Beautiful.

Thank you.

The Heart Spark Stone.

-Wow. -Yes.

-Smoothly, around the hair. -Around your hair.

Wow.

Good job.

And now?

I declare my infinite love to you, Princess Robin.

-Wow. -Wow.

-Jony and Pauline, congratulations. -Thank you.

You're the first to be in the final of Beauty and the Geek 2025.

-Yes! -Yes!

That was a goal, reaching the final.

Especially because my brother was eliminated and I wanted to make him proud.

And Pauline too, of course. Because we're a good team.

That means you have to get ready for the elimination game

to be able to get a place in the final.

I see nervous faces.

Pauline and Jony, you've won the challenge.

The other candidates still have to work

to earn a place in the coveted final

where you will have a chance to win €25,000.

There's place for three couples in the final.

Wow.

That means today we're saying goodbye to two couples.

Yeah, it's getting nerve-racking now.

I only think, "Let it not be us."

I really want to get a boob job, so let's go for it.

We're going to tie you up and communication is key in this game.

Every couple will be tied together with ten chains and numbered locks.

You have to find the corresponding keys as quickly as you can.

The locks are numbered but the keys aren't.

But please note, it has to be in the order from one to ten.

And this while you're in a cart with wheels.

Did you open the first lock?

You remove your chain and you put it with the lock in the circle with your color.

Once you've done this, you can continue looking for the next key.

Did you find it? Then you open the next lock.

And so you continue until all the chains are loose.

The two couples who manage to be the first to free themselves

and press the red button,

will earn a place in the final.

Now let's start in three, two, one…

Let's go.

…start.

I get the key, put it in and it opens right away.

Go.

Wow, okay.

Here, wait.

After the hugging challenge, we found out that when Marco has control,

things go sideways.

-Is it open? Yes. -No.

So I'm in control and we'll see how it goes.

I got it. Go.

Push, Marco!

We're racing across the track in the cart.

We're going fast.

-Oh, my god. -It's not working.

We go on.

The first key doesn't fit

and I'm messing around to put it properly in the lock.

Not this one either. Okay.

Yes!

-Oh, my gosh. You're amazing. -Nice.

Being on the cart is very stressful.

I try to stay focused, because you want to reach the final.

-Three. -I got one. Did we have it already? No.

We've tried this one.

This way. Come on, go.

Come on, Marco.

I was panicking.

Marco, what now?

We've tried each key and you can't open it?

Push and just open it.

-This is not it. -Marco.

Push it open.

Sorry, Marco.

-Yes or no? Push. -No.

Estelle? Hyperactive.

She had an adrenaline rush like she just drank 19 espressos.

-Other way. Push. Turn. -Yes, that's it.

Oh, my god.

Estelle, good job.

-No. -That one?

-Go. -Go.

-There you go. Go on. -Okay.

No.

-I got it. The last one, Marco. -Yes?

Go on. Continue. Go.

-Yes, here. Try it. -Is it enough?

-Come on. Is it loose? -Yes, it's loose.

-Come back. -Go.

No mercy. We have to go through. We are in a rush.

Go. Come.

-Come here. Marco, come here. -Estelle and Marco.

-Someone pressed the button. -Yes!

Proud. I feel so proud.

Especially proud of Estelle, but proud of myself too.

We can do it, you know?

This is the final. That was my goal.

This is what we did it for.

I'm so proud. We have a place in the final.

Wait. I got it. Honestly.

-I've got one here too. -Wait.

-Go on. -Yes.

-Okay. -Sorry.

It doesn't matter.

Come on! Final. Yes!

-Yes! Come on. -That's a shame.

It's my fault.

No, it's okay.

I'm so proud.

Not only of myself, I'm also proud of Quinty.

Look how we've grown as a couple.

Yes! Come on!

The king and queen of elimination. So proud.

They did it again.

That only means one thing for us. We're going home.

-Well fought. It was really fun. -You too.

-It happens. -Nice.

Melvin is so sweet right away, like, "It's okay."

He still hasn't realized we didn't reach the final.

That means we have our three finalists for the final.

We already had Pauline and Jony.

They are joined by Estelle and Marco.

And Quinty and Leon.

Nice.

Yes!

You saw him.

Congratulations, everyone. You're the finalists.

But that means we're saying goodbye to Melvin and Garbi

and Mathijs and Nycole.

You fought all the way until the last moment.

We've enjoyed your company so much.

Until the last moment, it was a nerve-racking battle.

But it also means you can say goodbye now.

I'm going home knowing more about myself.

I've become more open-minded.

I really didn't want to miss this rollercoaster.

I'm so proud. I'm happy I was able to experience this.

It was a great and amazing adventure.

I think it's nice that we, as beauties,

have made an impact on the lives of these people.

It was a nice experience and I'm happy I was able to do this.

And I also go home as a changed person, honestly.

-Finalists, first of all, congratulations. -Thank you.

For the final you will be looking for the Heart Spark Stone.

-No. -Let's go.

-No, forget about the stone. -Okay.

No, we've got reason to celebrate.

But you will have to work hard.

But how exactly, is something for tomorrow.

So prepare well, sleep on it,

and we will see you in this amazing final.

Yes!

-Wow. -Okay.

NEXT TIME

No.

You will be doing it too.

Good luck. This is not going to work.

-Nice to see you. -Thank you.

Hello.

We've got a final dance for you.

A final speech.

All that for our final couples.

The winners…

Mothers have to keep their daughters home, because you're conquering the world.

…of Beauty and the Geek…

I'm so proud of you.

Those are the most precious things I have Pauline to thank for.

…are…
