Erik Van Looy is extra polite when Minister Petra De Sutter takes his quiz. Although that politeness is short-lived: the quizmaster tries a belly dance, and he is not the only one. There will also be a lot of quizzing, resulting in a surprising final game.

The winner Monday evening
“I didn’t expect it,” she says, but as a newcomer, Minister Petra De Sutter is immediately the smartest of the evening.
The loser
Comedian Jeroen Leenders is eliminated after seven participations. It was exciting for a moment: Charlotte Adigéry was well ahead, but lost many points because she did not know that people go to the dentist not only for toothache but also for a regular check-up. The two will meet each other in the final weeks anyway.
The newcomer on Tuesday
The West Flemish king of imitation Guga Baúl passes by.
Best quotes
Erik Van Looy: “Do you have many supporters with you?” Petra De Sutter: “I think so.” At which cheers go up from the audience. Jury member Philippe Geubels: “Those are just all Groen voters.”
***
Van Looy asks De Sutter whether BVs fit into politics. To which the minister: “Everyone is welcome, so anyone who wants to talk later …” Jury member Bockie De Repper: “I think I fit in there. Drinking during office hours, urinating in public and then accusing the police. Sounds like Aalst Carnival.”

The most beautiful moment
During the puzzle round, Minister De Sutter tries a form of belly dance. “Not good for my reputation,” she concludes. Philippe Geubels does the dance again, this time with a bare belly. To the disbelief of the audience, this turns out to be a great success: the comedian looks like a professional belly dancer. Erik Van Looy also eventually turned to exotic dance, including accessories.
