Amazing!!! She got hurt, and she didn't care at all, she really controls pain very well.

QUOTE (DG2001 @ Mar 27 2009, 11:04 PM) KeepVid doesn't work to save these videos, does anybody else know another way to do it? Thanks. Just install Opera web browser and watch the clips. Then go to this browser's cache folder, arrange files by size (the biggest ones are videos), copy this files somewhere you like and rename to .flv. Watch with FLV player. Older versions of Opera keep file extensions in cache, so they are more convinient to use.

Can anyone translate? I would love to know what she is saying, especially when she shows the judges her injured soles

The translation: Gerad Joling: Gonda how did it go? (4.15) Gonda: I thought it went oke, exepct for the problem with the fire. Gerad Joling: I saw the oil on the floor, that was a bit slippery wasn’t it. Gonda: That’s right, we couldn’t rehearse it like that Gerad Joling: I don’t know what to say.. I was so scared when you jumped in the glass. I see just a little blood, do you mind if I ask to take a look at your soles. Gonda: No I don’t, but first I want to say something , this is the first time in my life I did this, I never rehearsed it. <applause> I never rehearsed it, because of the little time and I was scared it went wrong , and that I got hurt and couldn’t appear on the show. Gerad Joling: Let’s ask the judges Henk Jan: After the first time I saw you I thought can it be better the next time, and this time with the snake and all. I just had to keep looking. It’s a real act and that’s what we are looking for! So I think it’s great. Patricia: I have the feeling, because of how much Gonda talks and she always saying I can’t do this and I can’t do that, but she can. It’s very exciting what she does, I can’t do it. Can I see your feet? The bottom? She keeps the smile on her face, I think she is a masochist. She want’s to do scary stuff. But I have to keep looking. I thinks it’s great. Robert: I’t about the entertainment. And that’s what your good at!

QUOTE (footcrzy @ Mar 27 2009, 03:30 PM) Check out this video of Gonda on youtube, I would love to have someone to translate what she is saying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiL3zfvyxug&NR=1 WONDERFUL video, very evocative, and wonderful girl. About barefooting, my modest opionion is a little bit different (from yours, folks). To me, Gonda has unintentionally built a little ... "illusion", for us-barefootin'-lovers. In fact, she SURELY is a brave girl, absolutely not scared by pain, and she could barefootin' around also, as she doesn't seem a girl like "oh-my-god there's dust on the ground I'm horrified" ) But ... she couldn't be an hardcore barefooter, as she has not strong soles, TO ME. The blood at the end of the clip is somehow deceptive... the blood often is: she probably has very little and superficial abrasions caused by glass ... she PROBABILY (I'm not sure, obviously) feels them like a very little burnig, if she feels at all (the most probably is she doesn't). While, in the whole clip, there is only one moment that's -let's say - quite, AVERAGELY challenging: it's at 3:50, when she jumps on broken glass. Under that point of view, splinters are not soooooo hard: whe you jump, landing on sharp gravel for example is less impressive but much much hard. However, let's say that is the only "barefootin' challenge". And Gonda almost looses it: she doesn't bear the impact and she goes down, then immediately after the impact she can't stand on her bare feet too, and she must help herself with a hand, not to fall. Most ... "touchingly", if you notice, the very first try to get up fails: she tries IMMEDIATELY, as I guess the show doesn't provide for the fakir to be hurt and she surely is brave, but to no avail ... her feet are trembling and she can't complete the movement. Just after regrouping for a short while, she can put weight on bare soles again. So ... great video of a wonderful barefoot and brave girl, but not very "into barefooting", to my opinion.
