For the television program Wie van de Drie on SBS 6 we entered into a battle with all our knowledge to mislead the jury members. By asking questions they had to discover which of the three of us is the real goldsmith!
The three candidates ready to convince the jury
The jury members were: Raven van Dorst, Najib Amhali, Britt Dekker and Martien Meiland, everything was presented by Wendy van Dijk.
Together we, Anita, Tess and Manon, exchanged as much information as possible to not draw attention to Manon. Because we all wanted to look exactly the same to make it even more difficult for the jury, we made exactly the same aprons.
Backstage preparing for the show
For the recordings we drove to the studio in Almere, where we were received very friendly. After the make-up, hair and clothing we could enter the studio to get an explanation about the production.
... aaaaand action!
Where to stand, how to walk up and down, the order of the shots, etc. When it was our turn, the tension rose, because let's be honest, television recordings are not something we do every day! There were also quite difficult questions, such as questions about the melting point of gold, what a tanzanite is and what a giggle barrel is used for... they knew a lot, and Anita knew exactly what a giggle barrel is! Anita and Tess did a fantastic job and were so strong and fast; I'm really proud of those girls.
All in all it was a day with a golden edge, we laughed a lot and we are certainly richer in experience.
