Tuesday evening’s winner
It happened. Now, Daphne Agten advances to her eighteenth episode and is on par with Ella Leyers. She also scored another 500 seconds, against two candidates who also know how to quiz quite well.
The loser
An exciting final between sports journalist Aster Nzeyimana and Open VLD chairman Eva De Bleeker ended in panic. Nzeyimana had to give two correct answers to the question: ‘Which chemical elements occur most often in nature?’. After oxygen his head blocked.
He shouted “Stop!”, but then quickly said “Nitrogen”. Too late, unfortunately, for him. After which the turn went to De Bleeker. She had enough “hydrogen” to send him home. Extra painful: nitrogen turned out to be a correct answer.
The newcomer on Monday
Scientist Hetty Helsmoortel.

You are a big gentleman, a very big gentleman with a very small whistle.” He barks for a moment and then takes out a small yellow whistle.
