“I went back to that doctor and I said: ‘Look who’s walking now’,” said Hammoo. Karam dared the judges to say “no” to Hammoo, who never stopped grinning on stage. His doctors told him he would never walk again, but Hammoo moved to Germany to turn his life around and took up bubble-blowing. Hammoo also shared his heart-wrenching story: he previously worked as an accountant in Algeria and had to undergo spinal surgery because of long hours seated at his job. He then invited judge Najwa Karam to join him on stage and encased her in a bubble. He blew bubbles on stage, manipulating the bubbles and filling them with smoke. Both men failed to overpower her and she was sent to the next level.Īmong other contestants to receive the go-ahead from the judges to continue in the programme was the Algerian dwarf Hammoo, who calls himself the Bubble Man and came onstage dressed like Sindbad. “I am the world champion in arm-wrestling for the past 12 years,” said the hijab-clad Kamal, who then devoured a few boiled eggs on stage before daring the judges to arm-wrestle. The highlight was their decision to arm-wrestle with the Egyptian contestant Jihan Mustafa Kamal, known as “The World’s Bulldozer” in past arm-wrestling competitions in Egypt.
