Monday evening’s winner
Newcomer Victor Schelstraete immediately knocked out the other candidates. Because of the flashy cars that have no secret for him, there will be a party in Uzbekistan tonight. He won his first episode by 432 seconds.
Of loser
After six episodes and six finals, the song has finally been sung for Timon Verbeeck. He already suffered from stress regularly, but questions about Italian cities and water sports killed him. However, he is neatly at the top of the rankings.
The newcomer on Tuesday
Actress Daphne Agten, known van Holy rositamakes her appearance in The Smartest Person in the World.

In a hands-on assignment, candidates have to drink a glass of pickle juice and pretend it is delicious. Cannaert pours out the glasses and smells the jug of pickle juice.
El Ahmadi: “I can already smell it here, friend. How long has it been there? I thought Bart smelled like that. I think: that poor woman of yours.”
The most beautiful moments
After Van Looy asked a question in the first round about the Nakizumo Festival, where sumo wrestlers make babies cry as quickly as possible, he holds a baby, Louise, in the announcement of the second round. “Louise stays quiet, so Erik has no chance at that festival,” he says.

The funniest anecdotes
After talking about how Victor met King Philip twice, Erik asks Soundos if she has met King Willem-Alexander.
El Ahmadi: “No, he met me, you have to say it right. He had very dry skin. I met him in the Palace on Dam Square. Trevor Noah, a South African comedian, was honored. And king, queen of laughter (points to self) of course I was invited. And I was really looking forward to it and it wasn’t that fun with him. Besides his dry, flaky skin, he was quite arrogant. Yes. Because he is the king.”
Van Looy: “But what did he do?”
El Ahmadi: “From on high, with security around him and you weren’t allowed to talk for too long and there would be a security guy who would push you. I was so shocked by that that I thought: ‘I actually don’t want this’. I’m quite a sensitive woman with a big mouth. But as soon as there is negativity, I do this (extends claws)and I did that on his neck. No.” (laughs)
Cannaerts: “But how do you know about dry skin? Because you gave him a kiss?”
The Ahmadi: “Because I saw flakes peeling off his head. Brother. As if someone had gone about their business with a cheese slicer. Dudeyou get a few million a year for free. Throw Nivea in your face, old man.”

Bart Cannaerts against Van Looy: “Have you met Joaquin Phoenix yet?”
Van Looy: “No, but I once waited two weeks for it. When I was almost starting a career in America, we made him an offer for a leading role in a film that I was going to direct. We then offered him five million dollars. And they said: ‘Yes, you have to wait here now, because he is going to contact you right away, just wait by the pool at the hotel.’”
Cannaerts: “You literally stood next to a swimming pool for two weeks?”
Van Looy: “Well yes, I had nothing else to do. Only five months later did he answer that he didn’t do it.”

During the 3-6-9 round we see a photo where Schelstraete is hit full on the nose. The man turns out to be an Uzbek, whom he still knocked out. Something that, apart from the man, also did not go down well with his fellow countrymen.
Schelstraete: “That was an emerging talent and when the draw came in; everyone thought: ‘Ouch’. And I knocked him out and knocked him out hard. Nothing more came of it. He is no longer the promise he was back then. I broke his career a bit, but otherwise he would have done it to me. I have received a lot of hate messages from Uzbekistan, at least 200 to 300. But a lot ‘lovemessages’ from Kazakhstan. I even ended up on the news because I knocked out that Uzbek. Uzbeks and Kazakhs don’t like each other. I was a hero in Kazakhstan.”
The most remarkable answer
In the 3-6-9 round, the candidates are asked a question about a miracle cure that has completely captivated the sports world. During the last European Football Championship, but also in tennis and cycling, athletes swear by a drink that would help against muscle cramps. What green vegetable would help so wonderfully against this? “Celery,” Schelstraete responds resolutely. “Oh no, celery is for something else,” Van Looy chuckles. “Spinach,” Pertz guesses. That is also wrong. Verbeeck falls out of the blue and answers pickle. “Gherkin, indeed. Did you know the answer or was it a guess?” asks Erik Van Looy. “No, I hadn’t even heard the question,” Verbeeck answers. “Based on their answers, I thought, ‘It must be pickle.’”

A little later, in the puzzle round, Verbeeck is instructed to gargle his favorite song. He gargles, the song is unrecognizable – it had to be Come on of K3 – and for the rest of his puzzle the poor man had to recover from choking on his water.

The person who managed to amaze with his knowledge about futuristic cars – or what AI makes of them – was Victor Schelstraete. He easily scored 10 out of 10 in the photo round. “What do you drive yourself?” asked Van Looy. “Volkswagen,” replied Schelstraete. “Am I satisfied with it? Yes, of course. It’s free.”
