Trijntje Oosterhuis and Filemon Wesselink ask the utmost of each other in Het Perfecte Plaatje

Warning: This article contains spoilers about The Picture Perfect.

At the beginning of the episode, the candidates are instructed to take a picture of an action of international soldiers jumping out of a plane. Tina scores poorly here and ends at the bottom with a 4.8. Linda wins the shoot with a 9. The second shoot appeals to the candidates a lot more. They have to make a modern fairytale photo.

Because the fairy tales should be given a modern twist, Trijntje thought it would be fun to hoist Philemon into a harness. “Because Pinocchio is tied to strings anyway. Well, those are shackles and harnesses these days.” Trijntje just doesn’t manage to put the harness on her competitor. “I’m not familiar with this at all.” Philemon finds it all very uncomfortable. “But I thought: if I do my best for her now, she will do it for me in a moment.”

Once on location, Trijntje cannot regain consciousness because of what she sees in front of her. “It looks really hilarious,” she says, unable to contain her laughter. “I piss my pants.” Philemon is especially cold at that moment and does not feel certain at ease. “You know it doesn’t look good. And you also know that I don’t have a very trained body. It’s a very uncomfortable position. It’s very naked, even as the only one. Everyone else is also wearing clothes.”

Then it’s Philemon’s turn, who transforms Trijntje into Snow White. “I would never put this on myself,” she says. He instructs her to lie on a sofa and more or less pretend to play with herself, staring broodingly at an apple. “Because you just tied me up in a tunnel, with a harness on!” After the shoot, Trijntje can be short and concise about it: “This was once and never again.

At the same time, Tina de Bruin makes a sexy little red riding hood of Geraldine Kemper. “She killed that wolf,” Tina explains. “That wolf represents all fears. And you have to look all those fears in the mouth in life.” Geraldine then takes another picture of Tina as Sleeping Beauty. Linda, she can complete this shoot on her own. She chooses to radiate a bored Cinderella. “It’s surprisingly easy for me.”

In the end it’s Tina who wins the second shoot, with a 9. “I could use that after that first grade,” she says with relief. Trijntje is the winner of the week and Linda is also safe. Then it’s still between Philemon and Geraldine. The former eventually gets a 5 and ends up at the bottom of the ranking.
