Tonight’s winner:
Jacotte Brokken played strongly and filled gaps where the rest left them, good for a victory by 469 seconds. This means she is assured of the semi-finals, a place in the last four.
The loser:
Robin Pront will not be in the last four. He lost to Charlotte Adigéry in a long and nerve-wracking final. “I can live with it,” says the director. “I thought: Maybe I’m the smartest person in town now, but Alex Agnew is also in there of course. It was a great experience.”
Wednesday’s newcomer:
In the penultimate episode, Alex Agnew returns, leader of the rankings.
From best quotes:
Erik Van Looy to the jury: “Is there someone here that you did not expect in this phase?” Jan Jaap van der Wal: “Yes, but you have been there for twenty years.”

About the outfits of the day. Jan Jaap van der Wal: “I think we look very nice. Until you realize you’re in the episode with Charlotte Adigéry. Then you will be outshined.” Erik Van Looy: “I also think Amélie’s dress is very beautiful.” Amélie Albrecht: “It’s pants, Erik.”

Erik Van Looy: “They have to spell your name correctly, right, Robin? You are sensitive to that.” Pront: “Oh, sensitive. I suspect people are spelling it wrong on purpose. The library once said ‘Robin Print’. And Gazet van Antwerpen has already called me ‘Robin Prot’ twice.” Jan Jaap van der Wal: “Yes, you have clearly already given it a place.”

Has Charlotte Adigéry ever been asked for a TV or film role? “Yes, as a child I had to play the adopted daughter in Wittekerke.” That’s it. “I’m not very good at acting.” To which Van Looy: “I think so.” Adigéry: “Maybe with the right director.” Van Looy: “You mean Robin Pront, perhaps?”
Robin Prompt
The most beautiful moment:
An outpouring from Robin Pront: he allowed Charlotte Adigéry to become the ‘smartest person in the world‘. “Honestly, I hope she wins. I mean that.” Van Looy: “Really?” Pront: “Yes, really.” Amélie Albrecht: “Alright, then we’re done.” Pront: “I will try to win myself, of course.” Those words ultimately turned out not to be prophetic.
