Watch out, okay.
My name is Jan
and this is the story of a special journey.
Five contestants,
one mole and the little adventures they experience along the way.
When you have to shoot diary entries with the biggest of the group.
You shouldn't believe those guys.
While Yannis, Maxim, and Isabel are on a speed city trip today...
Wow, my bones.
If we need to help carry, you have to say so.
That's much easier.
...Julie and Wout are doing their absolute best to bake one pastel de nata.
That's good.
And it can finally come out of the oven now.
Cute. - That's not bad.
That still looks good. - It is a bit wobbly, though.
Now it needs to set a bit. Don't drop it.
It does look good.
Yeah, that is pretty cute.
Wow.
I like that we made that. - Super nice.
Isabela.
What do you think of it? - Yeah.
Is it good? - It is good.
Well done. - Yeah, very well done.
How much is it worth, the pastel?
Zero euros. - Oh, oh. Too bad.
I'd rather have a free pastel than have to pay 3000 euros for it.
What are we going to call it?
Patsy. Patsy Pastel.
You do have to eat it later.
We're going to let the others taste it.
I'm not going to eat my own child, which is very logical, I think.
I have a real one here. Shall we compare them?
Patsy Pastel is much prettier, I think.
What kind of failed thing is this, actually? It doesn't even have a face.
Ours at least has a face. - Indeed.
The loss of the 3000 euros is fortunately quickly forgotten
when they see their fellow contestants.
They are quite warm, apparently. - Indeed, fairly warm, apparently.
I'm bathed in sweat.
After their failed dessert, it's time for the real dinner.
Maxim, 26 years old, the baker's son,
who is now going to choose a wine for us.
Para os...
de Marquês de Borba.
How was his Portuguese? Was it good? - Yeah.
Good job.
I'm going to pretend that I can really do this very professionally.
Do you dare to send it back? Do you dare to say: Hmm, I taste cork.
What is cork in English? - What is cork in Portuguese?
Cork. - Cortiça.
Then Maxim gets ready for his big moment.
I am the wine connoisseur. - You are the wine connoisseur.
You may taste the wine.
Maxim, get your nose in there. Yeah.
Cortiça. - Okay.
It's fine.
He thinks to himself: yeah, yeah.
Is it tasty or not? - It is very tasty.
Cortiça.
Nice try, Maxim. Nice try.
After dinner, the contestants go out for a bit
and have to brave the hills of Lisbon for it.
That's how it goes well, that's how it gets better.
But it's worth it, because they find a typically authentic
karaoke bar,
where luckily there's a screen hanging for the very difficult song lyrics.
You got to pump it up. Don't you know pump it up.
Even after the karaoke machine gives out,
the contestants just amuse themselves with the microphone.
We start with 2000 euros. 2000 euros left, 2000 euros left.
Who's going over that? 3000 euros?
Over there, 4000 euros, sir. Who is bidding more than 4000 euros?
Well done.
Okay, let's go.
We're sp-sp-sp-spinning once mo-o-o-ore.
T-t-turbo on the turbo. Gas on that lollipop. Okay.
Tokens at the register.
This is b-b-breakdance. Come on.
After a short night, the contestants play a challenge in the bullring.
While Wout is busy with the challenge,
I'll go see what the rest are doing to kill some time.
Hello. - Yannis.
It was a heavy, heavy...
Are you sleeping? - Yeah.
What are you doing, Isabel? - Filling in a crossword puzzle.
Can we help?
Yeah... Actually, it's going quite well.
No, not really. No.
A military vehicle, four letters, and the second and the third are an e.
Something that ends in a p or an m. - Jeep.
Jeep. - Jeep, totally correct.
Good, Julie.
A beachcomber, three letters.
-ut are the last two.
So but, kut, rut, zut.
Jut. - A jut.
A jut? Is that a beachcomber, a jut?
Wow, man, you are smart.
A Japanese belt.
Unfortunately for Julie, her deception doesn't last,
because in the first round of the challenge she is voted off.
I think it's Julie.
Julie, for you it's over.
Eventually, only Wout and Maxim remain...
Come on, Maxim, come on. - No, I really don't trust you.
...for a discussion that ends with an explosion...
Come on, mate.
...and then immediately an elimination too.
Love you all, okay.
It'll be okay.
Yannis.
Everything okay?
Yeah, a very strange feeling, especially because...
I don't know, I was super calm.
I really had absolutely no nerves.
I also really thought I was onto it.
I really... It's impossible for me to be wrong.
You started outside the group. Do you remember that?
That's the feeling I have to remember, that I already thought back then:
at this rate, tomorrow I'll be back on the plane home.
That I overcame that and then
elimination after elimination was able to fight my way through.
Yeah, come on, that feels good.
But I'm telling you, at the same time...
I really would have loved to play the finale.
I didn't remember that it was that big.
Hello, this is the voicemail of... - She's sleeping.
She's far away, so I'll have to call her when she's awake.
What I was able to do yesterday, walking through Lisbon
with seven cameras around me, so to speak,
through all that crowd, as if you were filming a James Bond movie,
I really thought... That's something I'll never forget.
Perhaps the most memorable one.
Thanks, Yannis. It was mega great having you with us.
You're welcome.
