They sometimes call this the Dragon Tower.
Great. - Peter Van de Veire is a pig:
My mom is also a tiger and she's from '62.
For the rest, it's guesswork.
What do you think that red button is, by the way?
Fuck.
Come on, come on.
Today we're taking the train to the River Kwai.
Lapland. - Lapland. No, Lapland is not a country.
My head is going to fall off. - It's okay, no problem.
There's someone else on their way here.
Damn it.
I'm going to see what's in my suitcase.
There's a mole suitcase in play. - Mole suitcase, damn it.
Good morning, Thailand. Welcome to Radio Mole.
Radio M-O-L.
We're starting the show today with a caller. Who am I speaking to?
That's a bad connection. I only hear static.
Hello, are you still there?
You are speaking with the mole
I want to reveal something on national radio.
I still don't understand anything you're saying.
Try turning down your radio a bit or open a window.
I have put something amazing in the mole suitcase for today.
You'll never guess.
I really can't understand you.
Sorry, everyone. We're disconnecting.
Radio M-O-L.
Enjoy your meal, guys. - Enjoy your meal.
The journey continues in Kanchanaburi, in the west of Thailand,
a province known for its spectacular landscapes
and lush jungle.
The eight of them sit down for a delicious, healthy breakfast.
That's really the best mango I've ever eaten in my life. Want to taste?
No, thank you, that's okay.
Why not? - I don't really like eating mango.
Don't you like any fruit? - Yes, but for me it's like...
Fruit should actually still be in its original form.
I like melon cut up, but if it's all mixed together, I think it's disgusting.
Or if you were to cut a grape, I wouldn't eat that anymore either...
I want to eat an apple like this.
It can't be mixed? - No.
Wow, Sarah, that's expensive.
Applesauce?
Not that either? - No, that's mashed.
I have that too. I don't eat anything like puree or porridge, anything that's so...
Actually, if you can throw it at the ceiling and it sticks,
then you shouldn't eat it. That's the reason.
Cinnamon.
There are people who bake apple pie and then you think: Great,
Then there's tons of cinnamon on top and then I think: No, no.
I totally don't like eating ice cream. - No ice cream?
Thirty degrees in the summer and I would take a warm waffle instead of an ice cream.
I thought I was crazy with my fruit in its original form. But it's okay.
There are really all kinds of weird people at the table here.
Are there people who still want watermelon? - I would like a piece,
What's that? Look here.
You're kidding me. - Damn it.
Choose six candidates who like working at heights.
I like doing that. I want to do that.
I would also like to... - That's good, because I'm not so keen on it.
Heights and stuff, I'm not a fan of that.
Who's all going to be at heights today?
Sarah, Michèle, Nimrod, Alexy,
Hilde and me.
And Pedro and I, we don't know what. - No idea.
Not at heights. - We'll see.
Certainly not at heights.

Would he answer if we tried to find out where we're going?
Do you know where we're going?
I don't know. - You don't know... You're not allowed to say.
*jungle life I'm far away from nowhere
Their destination is still a mystery,
but the answer won't be long in coming.
I saw an elephant. - Oh no, you're kidding me. Is it real?
An elephant. - It's elephants.
Today they are visiting Elephants World,
a domain of more than ten hectares where elephants are free to roam
and can enjoy a peaceful old age.
Dear friends, welcome to Elephants World,
a place where they take in and care for mistreated elephants.
That is a very noble task that we are happy to cooperate with.
And when I say we, I mean you, of course.
You are going to feed the elephants. And what's on the menu?
Peanuts? - Leaves?
Leaves, foliage?
Watermelons. - The watermelon from this morning.
There are thirty of them and they are ready by Jan and Pedro.
The more watermelons you get to the elephants,
the more money you earn.
That can be up to 4,500 euros.
There is only one condition.
The watermelons must still be whole, otherwise they won't yield anything.
I would strongly recommend that you get that message
to Jan and Pedro as quickly as possible.
Wait. - What's all this stuff here for?
Tools. - Here, wait, a chain.
Such a broken frame, so weird.
Watermelons.
Watermelons, what are we supposed to do with them?
Jan and Pedro were just dropped off here without instructions.
That's right, the intention is that they do absolutely nothing here.
But the gentlemen don't know that.
Next to a pile of materials, they also find the elephants' dinner:
thirty watermelons,
for safety stored in a wooden crate.
Each melon is worth 150 euros, provided they remain intact.
But nobody told Jan and Pedro that.
Are we going to break it open right away?
We're just going to demolish.
Come on.
Okay.
We have watermelons.
That's something already.
In exactly one hour, the elephants must be fed.
To know where Jan and Pedro are,
you just have to rank the elephants from smallest to largest. Good luck.
At the back there.
We're going to have to look for them.
That one has purple on its head. That's Buetont.
Sai Yok is the only one with a tusk.
To get the location of Jan and Pedro,
the candidates must arrange eight elephants on this board
from smallest to largest.
Anyone have a preference for who they want to sit with?
Alexy, shall we go together? - That's fine with me.
Are we going, Els? - Yes.
We? - Yes.
Then decide who goes into the field and who stays here.
I would like to go into the field with those elephants.
Shouldn't we bring the fast runners who can measure high over there?
I can run. - I understand that.
But measuring might be a bit more difficult for you.
We'll stay here then? Okay, that's good.
Okay, good luck, guys. - Good luck.
The duos choose their place.
Els and Nimrod start on the board.
The other duos go in search of the elephants.
They must describe and measure them as accurately as possible.
Here. - Don't scare him, Hilde.
Hey boy, calm down. - I'm going to call already.
Hello. - Hey. We're at the first elephant.
The ear has a very noticeable white stripe on the entire outside.
Which ear, right or left? - His right ear, so right for him.
Yes, that will be Bunmee. Okay, alright. Are you measuring?
This is indeed Bunmee.
Now they just have to measure their new friend.
For this, each duo has been given a tool.
For Hilde and Michèle, that is a stick of exactly 30 centimeters.
Two, three.
Guys, this is difficult.
Six.
Seven times three. Have they found him?
1.90 meters. 1.95 meters.
1.95 meters. - I estimate.
Okay, great. Yo.
Bunmee has been measured.
But their technique apparently isn't quite perfect yet.
There.
How do we start this?
Sarah and Alexy have a different tool.
Fifty centimeters was that? - Yes.
A piece of rope of exactly fifty centimeters.
Three.
Five. 2.5 meters I would pass on then.
Sarah and Alexy are calling. - Yes, go ahead, answer it.
Yes? - We're standing here at an elephant,
very dark with a light patch on the ears and at the front of the trunk.
That's Bo Yo. Have you measured already? - Yes, we think 2.5.
2.5. Okay, see you soon.
Wait. 2.5 or 2.05? - 2.5.
2.50.
Also with Bo Yo, the measurement is not entirely accurate.
Measuring elephants is clearly a profession in itself.
But fortunately, there is another way to find out their exact length.
Time for a first question about our friends, the elephants.
Every ten minutes, the candidates at the board get
a quiz question.
For each correct answer, they get the exact length of an elephant.
The question is: What does not belong to the standard diet of elephants?
A: peanuts.
B: bananas.
Or C: carrots.
Bananas for sure, right? - Peanuts for sure yes.
Bananas seems weird to me too. - Shouldn't they be allowed to eat that?
I haven't heard or seen much of bananas now either.
Bananas, that seems like something from here. Shouldn't they be allowed to eat that?
Then not carrots?
What do you guess? - Carrots?
Carrots is good. Carrots.
That is not correct. - Bananas then.
Peanuts are not part of the standard diet. - I didn't know that.
A first chance at an exact length has been missed.
Fortunately, nothing has happened in the shed yet.
All the melons are still whole.
Although Jan and Pedro have no assignment here at all,
they are just convinced that they have to do something with the melons.
I feel so stupid.
What are we doing here? - This is all nothing?
No clue?
Here.
Here, here.
A basketball hoop.
We have to - throw a watermelon through there or something.
Yes? - Yes, I would do that.
Then they're going to break. - But wait, then I'll catch them.
That's life-threatening.
They have to stay whole.
That's not going to work, man. - Come on, man.
Wait, pins. Bowling. Bowling with watermelons.
Maybe you should try to throw a strike.
Yes, just... Indeed.
Okay. - And now?
Nothing happened.
But something is indeed happening.
Near them hangs a frame and every time they break a melon,
a word appears there.
And those words together form a fairly clear message.
But the gentlemen haven't seen that.
We're going to have to play basketball and bowl.
But why all those tools?
Meanwhile, the other candidates are picking up the pace.
Wow, that one is super big.
There's a sharp notch in the left ear.
Yes, yes. Okay.
You are 1.86 meters? - Yes.
I think 2.36 meters. - Yes okay, alright.
We are now standing at the only elephant with a tusk.
Ah yes, Sai Yok. - 2.15 meters.
It's going to be close.
He's not staying still. Oh man.
Time for a new question. What is a female elephant called?
A: a mare.
B: a sow.
Or C: a cow.
I think a cow.
Cow is the correct answer. - Voilà.
So you get from me a first exact length.
Sai Yok is 2.11 meters.
Disgusting. - We still have Tang Mo.
A fairly large one, in my opinion. - That could be this one. I think so.
That's definitely more than 3 meters. - Sarah says 3 meters plus.
Three meters, okay.
We have an elephant with white stripes in an eye shape on its butt.
I think about 2.10 meters, but Hilde is measuring.
Leaves. Just eat the leaves, then you'll stay still.
All elephants are measured and placed on the board.
The question is, of course, how accurate their measurements are.
Are there any we need to have measured again? What do you think?
The problem is just: then we lose so much time.
Are we just going to print? - Someone has to take the risk.
Then someone has to leave.
They can check their ranking by pressing this red button.
If everything is correct, they get the location of Pedro and Jan.
But if a mistake was made,
the candidate who pressed the button is out of the game.
I really wouldn't want to do it, but fine. If fij doesn't like doing it either. Logical.
Okay, I'm going to press the button. Here, good luck, do well.
Only two of the eight are hanging correctly.
Nimrod is therefore out of the game.
They are still left with five in the field,
five chances to get their ranking correct.
There must be something to see somewhere.
It's decent stuff.
Could it be with this? - This is such a knife to...
To chop. We're just going to have to demolish them.
No, no. Demolish, each with a different thing.
First demolish with this, then with this.
Then this, then this, then this.
Okay, okay.
I'm a fan, let's do it.
That's a fun game.
Yes.
Here.
It's okay, boy?
Calm down.
The money is melting like snow in the sun.
At the board, Els is now on her own.
Els, listen carefully. What can't an elephant do?
A: jump.
B: swim.
Or C: recognize itself in a mirror.
It can swim, I believe, yes.
They do come into the water, I believe.
I'm going for A, jump.
Els, that's absolutely correct.
I'll give you the exact length of our friend Bo Yo.
It's not 2.50 meters.
But 2.32 meters.
Hello. - Els, what else do you need?
We can keep going. I'm just going to switch a bit, because it's really....
For Els, it can all go a bit faster.
She swaps some random elephants around.
I'll just finish it and if necessary you guys come here to replace us.
Els' gamble yields one extra correct elephant.
But she is now out of the game.
Hilde and Michèle must hurry to the board.
Hilde, your shoe.
Your shoe.
In just over twenty minutes, the elephants must be fed.
If there's anything left, at least.
Because Jan and Pedro's demolition work is still in full swing.
Here, here.
Does.
Something came up. Not anymore.
It's done.
Wait, if you break a melon, something might come up.
Look.
Can.
Maybe again.
Nothing.
Then we have already missed a lot of words.
Because it will go every time we break a melon...
Shit. Could that be it?
Wait, wait. - Does can nothing...
Okay, you throw one to break it and I'll see what it is.
Does can do nothing wrong....
Maybe again.
Do. - Can do nothing wrong.
Who... - Who does nothing, can do nothing wrong.
Who does nothing, can do nothing wrong. Maybe one more time.
Nothing. - It's just always the same.
Who does nothing, can do nothing wrong.
Wait, let's think. - Who does nothing, can do nothing wrong.
Maybe we shouldn't do anything. We shouldn't do anything.
Fuck, maybe we shouldn't have demolished any watermelons.
Fourteen watermelons have survived the slaughter.
2,100 euros, that money they can still get
by feeding the elephants on time.
Well done.
Damn it.
Where's my other shoe?
I still have it on.
Okay, only three green ones left.
With some delay and one wet shoe
Hilde and Michèle arrive at the board.
And the stress kicks in.
We're going to switch anyway, because that one looks much bigger, right?
But Hilde, now you're being too random. That's just...
7C/
That way we're mixing it all up.
Should we change this too? - I wouldn't change anything that's on it.
An elephant can hear with its ears, but with what else?
A: with its trunk.
B: with its feet.
Or C: with its tusks.
I say tusks, because you can do hearing tests with the ossicle here.
That's right. - That's on your bone, on your skull.
The tusk is attached to it. Or the vibrations of the feet.
The vibrations of the feet also seems like something.
I would say tusk.
Okay, we're going for tusk.
With its feet. - Come on.
Through the vibrations? - Yes. I'm sorry.
Okay, I'm just going to follow my gut feeling. I would hang that one here.
I think that's the smallest one. I would do it like this.
BUNMES D I think that's the smallest one. I would do it like this.
Hilde, do you feel like pressing the button?
I'll press it.
Yes, yes.
Hey Michele. - Very good news.
There are still three variables. I would move that Cat...
Michèle is on a roll and rearranges the remaining incorrect boards.
Maybe it's best if you tell us which elephant you would like to see again
and then we'll walk over there.
No, I'm just going to press it, guys. I'm sacrificing myself.
Are you serious?
Michèle's gut feeling lets her down.
Her intervention has yielded absolutely nothing.
Who does nothing, can do nothing wrong.
Again pretend that nothing happened here. - As if nothing happened.
That's not going to work with those watermelons.
Yes it is, with that shovel we can... - Put them all back in again.
Can we sweep that up?
So we pretend nothing happened.
They think they have finally understood the message
and try to restore everything as they found it.
I think we are- the smartest candidates actually.
Did that say that here?
Now do nothing.
We are ready.
You don't feel good about it, do you? - I can't handle this.
It can't just be standing still.
Ten more minutes and then the candidates must
feed their watermelons to the elephants.
Can Alexy figure out where Jan and Pedro are?
Alexy, welcome. I hope you know a lot about elephants.
How old does an elephant get on average in the wild?
A: 40 years old.
B: 70 years old.
Or C: 110 years old.
I think B, 70 years old. - 70 years old.
That's absolutely correct.
Cat, Alexy, is 2.36 meters.
Alexy? - I'm going to switch a bit first,
because I just answered a question correctly.
With this last length, Alexy has all the info in hand.
He hangs all the elephants correctly,
but doesn't seem to realize it himself.
Is there one you still have doubts about? - Wait.
There is one, which is quite dark and has a light patch on the nose
and also some light discoloration on the ears.
Okay, yes...
I think we should just press it. What do you think?
Wait. - Just press it and otherwise I'll press it.
Yes okay, I'm going to try it.
It's correct.
The elephants are all hanging correctly.
They finally get to see the location of Jan and Pedro.
Now they have to get there as quickly as possible,
because in just over six minutes
the elephants must be fed.
There, there.
Grab as many watermelons as possible.
Damn it. - Fuck.
Come on, no.
Do they have to be whole or doesn't it matter? - Whole.
Are there any whole ones left?
This morning there was also something in a watermelon.
That note was in the melon. - Yes.
Something is going to be in there, here too.
Yes, that's going to be it. - Shouldn't we also smash
those last melons?
That's broken, broken, broken.
No note to be seen. Nothing.
Nothing.
Two more melons.
Voilà.
No, nothing either.
We've demolished everything.
What? - You can still...
We've demolished everything. - But anyway.
Come on, that can't be right. - We've done all sorts of things with those melons.
When a melon was broken, we suddenly saw who.
Then we broke another one, nothing.
All those watermelons. Who does nothing, can do nothing wrong.
After that you kept breaking things? - Because we thought...
Who does nothing, can do nothing wrong. - That was the thing, yes....
As a child: we are allowed to smash things here.
It was 150 euros per melon.
Wow.
Not a single melon is still whole.
In the crate lies 4,500 euros worth of chopped fruit.
Hello there. - All sweaty.
We are dealing with two destroyers here. - We toiled.
You had to be within the hour.
That is the case, but the watermelons had to be whole.
And that is most certainly not the case.
Only undamaged watermelons yielded money.
And that means you earn absolutely nothing.
Come on.
The first zero of this trip is a fact.
It had to happen sometime.
But I suggest that we still feed your tasty buffet to the elephants.
Take it along. - Awesome.
Wow. - It's quite heavy though.
You did your best.
There's still all sorts of stuff under that thing too. - Real mousse.
We hid everything back
so that you couldn't see it. - It's become watermelon puree.
Look, guys. - They're coming.
Are they allowed to come this close? - Yes, yes.
Come on.
Wait, wait. - It's okay.
Look. - Enjoy your meal.
Awesome, look. Broken or not, it tastes good.
We've already cut it up.
That little one. Hello, friend.
We're really in Jungle Book. - That's unprecedented.
This one too, hoppa.
MUSIC: EVERGREEN - RICHY MITCH & THE COAL MINERS
Today was really the Thailand feeling,
because seeing elephants from so close in the nature we were in,
that was just really fantastic.
Hilde Kempeneers is very happy.
For me it's Saint Nicholas, Christmas, New Year, Easter, all at the same time.
Come on, Jan.
This day was one of the top days for me that I have experienced so far.
I also had a very nice fellow player, so we really laughed our heads off.
We just completely went crazy with all that material.
We really...
I was shocked by myself.
We really...
Oh man.
Grab as many watermelons as possible.
Are there any whole ones left?
We really did our best with the team that had to measure the elephants.
But unfortunately there were two toddlers with tools.
That's a fun game.
Cones That's a fun game.
It would be a perfect mole action.
Very brutal, smash everything, pot to zero. Ideally played.
The communication with the people who were at the board was not so smooth.
Hey, Michèle. - I would move that Cat.
Michèle eventually also didn't really listen to instructions anymore.
She just switched a bit on gut feeling.
That was also a bit weird.
No, I'm just going to press it, guys.
I found it very suspicious that Pedro didn't go for heights this morning
because he is the tallest man or person in the group.
He seemed to wait until all the people had raised their hands,
as if he deliberately wanted to get to the watermelons.
We are really swimming in shit. I'm not kidding.
Here.
We are not going to go with...
Sarah. - Sorry, Els. It was aimed at Nimrod.
That makes it better. Yes, hello.
Watch out.
There's someone jumping with a sign. - What?
Jan, is everything okay with you? - Yes, everything is fine.
Get ready in five minutes, it's elimination.
It is the seventh day and that can only mean one thing:
everyone is fast asleep.
Except these two.
No one is going to be awake yet. - I don't think so either.
What do we do? - We shout like:
Get ready in five minutes, it's elimination.
hahn That's what we do.
Get ready in five minutes, it's elimination.
It's elimination.
No, that's not true. - That's really not funny.
Your look. - I think we deserve something now.
A breakfast in bed.
What do you have on your head actually?
Exactly Gnome Plop.
That's called a bonnet. That's to protect my hair at night.
You can get up and go straight to the kitchen.
For me an omelet, please.
Get up.
It's elimination.
Oh my God.
Wake up.
Sorry, guys. - Oh my God, this was really not chill.
Are you in your birthday suit in bed?
Usually yes, yes.
Do you have something on now? - You'll never know.
After the gentle morning cuddles, they venture out into the wide world again.

If you are only listening now, you are just in time.
We are going to play a game with which you can win 3,000 euros.
We are a brand new radio station, so we don't have many listeners yet.
Our reception is currently limited to two cars.
It would be nice if they would play along!
Call 555-322.
Call quickly. - That's 555-322.
Radio M-0-L.
Hello, who am I speaking to? - You are speaking to Jan, Jan's car.
Is this your first time on the radio, Jan? - It's not the first time.
A few years ago I was already on the radio.
That was on Studio Brussel and then I won four combi tickets for Rock Werchter.
But today you can win an even bigger prize.
The other car may also make itself heard.
What are you doing in beautiful Thailand?
We are visiting some sights.
That sounds quite boring.

The competition can therefore yield 3,000 euros.
But that's not all.
There is a lot of money at stake, friends.
But that's not all, we are playing for a bigger prize today.
The car that earns the most money, will hear a special recording
about the sabotage yesterday during the game with the elephants.
Hey man. Okay guys, focus. - That's a super good prize.
It's a crazy personal advantage if we know what the mole's briefing was.
How exactly did the mole sabotage yesterday's assignment?
That information is the grand prize of this competition.
The car that brings in the most money,
will hear that in detail later.
I'm playing the Thai version of a well-known Belgian radio commercial.
You earn money for every commercial you can guess.
300 euros in the first round,

Hello mole.
The elephants.
You still know what you can do to mess things up there?
You asked us for a drill.
That would make a bit too much noise, so this is what it has become:
a manual drill.
Does exactly the same, just a little quieter.
That note was in the melon.
Something is going to be in there, here too. - That's going to be it.

I pass. - Really?
I find this very spicy.
Wow, I'm getting tears in my eyes.
Hola.
Those are fortune cookies or something. - Yes, awesome.
I hope I can make a wish. - That it just brings luck.
Are we breaking it open? One, two, three.
Come to the back room to try your luck.
I have the same. - I also have the same.
You too, Nimi? - Everyone has the same.
Go. - Okay, let's go.
Is it going to be here? - Downstairs?
Gilles. - Hi Gilles.
Welcome.
Sit down.
Friends, in Thailand gambling is officially forbidden.
But so much is not allowed.
You will all receive a random number in a moment
from the Thai bookie.
Then we will hold a draw.
If your number is drawn,
then you have a chance to win a nice prize.
Two pass questions.
In this cellar, the candidates are participating in a Thai lottery.
Three balls are drawn.
The winners here can therefore leave with pass questions.
There are eight balls in the drum.
That means everyone has an equal chance.
That's fantastic, right.
Only the bookie also sells extra balls with your number.
At 200 euros each.
I'm just letting you know.
Okay.
There is one ball in the drum for each candidate.
With some luck, that ball will be drawn soon
and they will have pass questions.
But they can also buy some luck,
a maximum of four extra balls at 200 euros each.
Or they agree now that no one buys anything.
I am one hundred percent convinced to take zero.
Do you promise that? - All of us?
Do you think everyone will do that? - No.
It also seems best to me to keep it completely at zero.
I can live with that, for sure. - Me too.
I can live with that too. - Anyone have a different opinion?
Something he wants to throw on the table? - Yes.
I want to get as much out of this as possible.
That doesn't mean they are going to be drawn.
That is true.
I would say: Faites vos jeux.
The first one who may go to the bookie is Els.
Do you want more balls?
One by one, the candidates are assigned their personal ball.
The ball that can get them pass questions.
Does everyone stick to the agreement not to buy anything extra?
Do you want more?
So, everyone knows their number.
I assume that not too much more has happened.
So if the bookie comes to the drum for the vote right away,
then he doesn't have any extra balls with him?
Top.
Fuck.
Say.
That were ten or so. - Twelve.
Twelve. - Ridiculous.
Twelve extra balls have been purchased.
Twelve.
You guys walked in here with 8,850 euros in the group pot.
That drops to 6,450.
So naive all over again.
Time for the draw.
Three balls are drawn,
three winners who can earn pass questions today.
Provided that if they win, they certainly don't show anything.
Our first winner is the candidate with number 2.
The second winner is the candidate with number 6.
The third and last winner: 3.
So friends, here are now three candidates around this table who can win prizes.
Three candidates who have a chance at two pass questions.
It is up to you to unmask those three, friends.
You get three chances
to take away the pass questions and you do that
by voting those candidates away from this table.
And in one go also earn some money back
for your massacred group pot.
For each candidate with pass questions that you can vote away,
you get 1,000 euros.
Are there any insights yet?
The only one I have seen a bit with is Nimi.
Your disappointment didn't seem super sincere to me.
Okay.
Your ball is certainly not there? - No, one hundred percent not.
I have made eye contact with everyone of you four
and Hilde, you were very nervous when the first ball came,
but I saw relief, your attitude changed with the second ball.
I think you saw that wrong.
The group pot just took a serious hit,
but they can still undo that by voting out the winners.
But where should they base their vote on?
For one candidate, these are the last moments at this table.
I notice that your poker faces are on point.
There is very little to read from it.
But, dear friends, that might well change now.
Under the table are now three sympathetic Thai
foot masseuses.
The three ladies are now going to massage the feet
of the three candidates with pass questions.
And only of those three candidates.
I have no idea if they are the best, but I do know
that they are the strongest in the whole region.
Yes, voilà.
I am very curious whether we will be able to read that on the faces.
Jan, is everything okay with you? - Yes, everything is fine.
You look a bit red. - I'm always red.
And you, Michèle, how is it for you? You are sitting there with a forced smile.
No, I...
I'm upset. - A little.
I'm a bit upset, but I'm not being massaged.
I also think Hilde is a bit sweating.
No, you guys are imagining that. - But, but...
A bit of a stress face® Not the reactions like usual.
Come on, I'll laugh once.
Jan, I really think you're laughing very hard.
But Jan, come on. You can't hold it back.
What a poker face. - No, that's not true.
Come on, Jan.
No, that's not true. Guys, believe me, really.
Yes, yes.
I'm laughing, but I laugh a lot. You have to forget that for a moment, really.
Okay, they are ready.
It has happened. - The damage has been done.
Thank you, ladies. - Thank you.
Merci.
Friends, was it enlightening?
Because we are going to vote for the first time in a moment.
I think it was very enlightening. - For one person yes.
I would still wait to vote Jan away first.
Indeed. Good idea, Alexy. - Why would you leave Jan?
As a certainty. - But is that a certainty?
Can we talk about the money?
The people who have deceived us,
can they consider making this up to the group?
Who would want to consider that? Are there any good souls here?
Or am I the only Mother Teresa of Flanders?
An attack is being launched here, but you seem to have forgotten that we are on the train...
How much was possibly in the suitcases? - I am terribly sorry, Hilde,
but you really shouldn't use the name Mother Teresa anymore.
You've lost it. - Good, friends.
I think it's time to vote.
For one candidate, these are the last moments at this table.
They cast their vote by writing one name on a poker chip.
The candidate with the largest number of votes must leave the table.
If that turns out to be one of the winners,
then they earn 1,000 euros back
and that candidate loses his pass questions.
There is a very clear majority.
Is voted away with an overwhelming majority of six votes...
Dear friends, gambling is risky.
We'll see each other tonight at the elimination.
In the basement the candidates are trying to vote out the winners.
There is a very clear majority.
Every time they succeed, they win back 1000 euros.
and loses the voted out winner their pass questions.
Is voted away with an overwhelming majority of six votes...
Hilde.
Was that a wise choice?
Hilde,
what is your number?
Fuck.
Sorry, Hilde.
So Hilde did not have any pass questions.
Anyway, she was mega suspicious though.
We should maybe have played it safe upon closer inspection.
She was very defensive, I just thought, in the answers she gave.
Chance missed, dear friends.
That means that you are leaving 1,000 euros behind.
That also means that at least one candidate
with pass questions will walk out here.
You have a problem.
There are still three winners at the table.
Now there are only two chances left to vote them out.
Everyone put on the headphones right away.
The three with pass questions
will hear something that is not immediately conducive to a poker face.
A message from the home front.
Again, the poker faces of the winners are put to the test.
Each winner gets in the headphones
a very personal message from the home front.
The other candidates hear absolutely nothing here.
SILENCE
Hello, we are not going to the Efteling after all,
because I had a bit too much pain in my feet.
I hope you are having the time of your life over there.
We talk about you a few times every day.
Do you want to help me get dressed?
Do you want to watch my trick?
It's going well here. It's a bit weird, sometimes a bit difficult.
We hope to hear from you sometime, a little later or something.
There is someone else who also wants to say something.
BARKING
Love you. - Love you.
Love you, love you. - I love you.
Who saw something?
I saw things. - I also saw something.
I also think I saw something. - Jan does look a bit sad.
No. - Come on yes, it is a bit readable.
If I were to hear something from the home front now, there would be tears.
Alexy, what did you see? - I saw with Michèle...
I found the same. - I also share that, yes.
You were moved.
You know me already, my emotions are really times a hundred.
That was holding it in. - I'm not going to defend myself.
That's the worst thing I can do. Think what you want, really.
Again, choose wisely.
A lot closer than last time.
Is voted away with a majority of four votes...
Michèle.
Michèle, what was your number?
My number was
So Michèle did not have any pass questions.
Again 1,000 euros that you do not earn.
Opnieuw 1.000 euro die jullie niet verdienen.
That is again an extra candidate who with pass questions
will walk out of here.
One more round to go.
And I can make that very easy for you.
Our bookie
doesn't care about professional secrecy.
The bookie can tell you who has purchased extra balls and how many.
If you accept the proposal,
you can no longer earn money with this round.
Your choice.
I would like to see it, if only to show to the group
that I have purchased zero balls and kept my word.
Of course you do lose 1,000 euros.
Who bought extra balls and how many?
That can be valuable information.
Because the more balls someone has bought,
the greater the chance that he or she is a winner.
If they accept this proposal,
then this last round is no longer worth any money.
Going to an elimination where three people have pass questions, I think
is scarier than losing 1,000 euros now. - Me too.
Okay, but seeing this, you still won't know who is lying there.
That's possible. In my opinion that is still won information
to know how many balls have been purchased extra and by whom.
I sincerely want that 1,000 euros and if I'm honest,
you have slipped through the net twice.
It's 1,000 euros that we just throw away. - That is true.
Hand on heart, it's not me.
But...
I did buy extra ones.
Ah, okay. - Look, yes.
But forget that for a moment. I just went for my own success for a moment.
But it's really not me.
How many did you have then? - Four.
They are trying to find out for themselves who bought what extra.
I bought zero balls.
One. - What the fuck.
But the question is, of course, whether everyone is honest about it.
I bought four balls. - I thought so.
I bought zero balls.
I one.
How many are left for Michèle and Hilde then?
How many did they buy extra?
Then there are two left, so then...
Does that change our vote? That's the question.
I would now really, that's my opinion... I would really play for the money now.
I agree with that. - Okay.
So we are voting then? - Yes.
They are not accepting the proposal.
The candidates absolutely want to earn some money back.
This is their last chance.
You are voting away, with a majority of three votes...
Jan.
Jan, what was your number?
My number was
number 1.
Oh no, Jan, you don't mean it. But Jan, really.
I said it. - Yes, that's true.
Three of you
have survived all voting rounds.
Three of you are going to the elimination with two pass questions.
Who was the candidate with the number...
2?
That was me.
Sorry, guys.
I heard my kids.
Mom, do you want to help me get dressed?
Mom, do you want to watch my trick?
I love you. - I love you.
Sorry. - It's okay.
Who was the candidate with number 6?
Me. - Nimrod.
Please. - Thank you.
One more.
Who was the candidate with number 3?
Pedro.
I don't feel guilty about it because I, really,
bought zero extra, so from me there was one ball in that drum.
Everyone has been lying here. I didn't buy anything extra,
so I thought: If you are all lying, I'm going to defend my ball.
Vor
How many did you have... - Actually I had three.
But look, man, you... - Sorry for that, but yes, well.
You don't have to say sorry anymore, it happened.
Dear friends, gambling is risky.
We'll see each other tonight at the elimination.
The Thai lottery has cost the group a lot of money.
2,400 euros has gone up in smoke.
Instead, three candidates have pass questions
for tonight's elimination.
It could be that I will really need those pass questions later,
because I am on two tracks and that is dangerous anyway.
I won't get much more than ten out of twenty, I think.
Twelve extra balls have been purchased. - Twelve.
Losing money in a challenge, that's really...
That's very well played by the mole. Screwed us over while we were standing next to it.
So I think the mole is very happy today.
Sorry, guys.
I think today I was most shocked by Sarah.
That she can lie so hard when she hears her own children and partner.
I would start crying really hard, but she didn't flinch at all.
The mole knows anyway who has pass questions,
who should not be voted out.
And the mole leads to the wrong people to play 1,000 euros out of the pot that way.
I actually with Michèle...
I follow it though. - Me too, I also share that.
So what someone like Alexy does is ideal,
pushing the conversation in the direction of the people you know
that they will not get pass questions.
But Jan, come on.
When I started laughing, my eyes were closed.
I looked and I accidentally looked at Sarah
and she sat there with a look of: this can't be.
Then she jumped on me: we're taking Jan.
I found that quite suspicious.
I have to laugh, but I laugh a lot. You have to forget that for a moment, really.
It could certainly be that Jan played it that way consciously,
because he knew that his ball was not among them.
He had every interest in being voted out.
Yes, voilà.
I think everyone at the table had the feeling that Hilde was acting quite suspiciously.
But I think Michèle in particular steered it in that direction.
Hilde couldn't look me in the eye the whole time. You couldn't do it anymore.
When Michèle brings something forward, there are always many who follow.
I think that's how it happened too.
Hilde.
Nimrod has seriously lied.
He made sure that he stayed at the table, that he had his pass questions.
He bought balls. There has been mole behaviour.
Actually I had three.
Pass questions are so coveted. It's the first time they come into play.
So as a mole you can also choose to say this afternoon:
They are going to sabotage themselves a little anyway.
Holding yourself back a bit is perfect.
Ready.
I have spread it out a bit more.
Good evening, friends.
The episode in which the group pot suddenly took a sharp dive downwards.
The elephants did not bring you luck and the lottery certainly not.
Unless for Sarah, Pedro and Nimrod.
You are all three here with two pass questions.
So you have a lead on the rest.
The question is whether that is sufficient, of course.
Pedro.
Sarah.
Nimrod.
Jan.
Yes, that's someone we're going to miss.
That's not normal.
Damn it. - Yes.
That's the least you can say.
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
It's just as hard and I wasn't done here yet.
Come here.
Jan was absolutely the mood setter.
From morning till evening we were giggling with laughter.
He also had a card with him that was made by the Bambi, his wife.
That was a photo of him and it said:
if you drink enough special beer, you will become special yourself.
And I think: That says it all.
I have things...
The birth of my children, super good.
Finding my great love, the Bambi.
Antwerp who played champion.
And now this, what I have experienced.
I will never forget this.
Jan and I walked fifteen floors upstairs.
It was really... He walked upstairs as if a ghost was chasing him or something.
So much noise came out, it was unbelievable.
SIGH
It's not here. - What?
I misjudged myself a little bit in the beginning.
I could only...
PANTING
Jan is someone, his English is not great,
but despite that he is talking to the locals all the time.
I laughed my head off.
Take four glasses. Four... Take four glasses...
Do four glasses, please.
What did you think was the highlight yourself?
I will never forget the melons with our friend Pedro.
I really laughed my head off. That was great.
Yes.
Here.
It was one of the nicest hours I have experienced in recent years.
It was certainly already the highlight for me on this trip.
Okay, Jan. - Good.
This is it. I want to thank you incredibly much for your participation.
It was super nice to have you here. You threw yourself into it.
I've done everything I could. - It was a pleasure to watch
and to have you here with us, but it's over.
Nothing to be done about it. - We'll see each other when it's all over.
Good, perfect.
Thank you for everything.
Cheers.
Damn it anyway.
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
You are going to race today against eight professional rowers in their dragon boat.
Well done.
MUSIC: BROKEN - PYTHIUS
I don't believe it, guys. I really don't believe it.
Come on, come on.
let the sun into your heart
