Actor Rik Verheye made his debut as a contestant in the second episode, sitting alongside Stephanie Planckaert and Mungu Cornelis, according to Nieuwsblad. During the 3-6-9 round, Verheye mentioned that he did not want a stripper for his upcoming 40th birthday because it gives him vicarious embarrassment. Newsmonkey noted that Verheye turns 40 in three months and also co-owns the football club Sporting Hasselt alongside Sam Kerkhofs. Verheye shifted uncomfortably with the performer’s body close to his face, later asking how anyone could possibly concentrate on the game.
