In the second episode of ‘The smartest person in the world’, Niels Destadsbader and Dorianne Aussems move up a seat for newcomer and influencer Wiam. They immediately know that they will be allowed to clean their toes: Wiam – pronounced “Wie-em” is a bioengineer. “That is different from a Flemish singer.”

Tonight’s winner:
Influencer Wiam scores 614 seconds and takes the third best score of all time. That’s what you get if you know the French translation of peanut butter.
The loser:
Niels Destadsbader makes a tactical mistake in the final game, forcing Dorianne Aussems to give three answers about Yves Lampaert in five seconds. That works, and the singer has to go home.
Tuesday night’s newcomer:
Basketballer Jean-Marc Mwema.
The best quotes:
Wiam graduated as a bio-engineer, and that can count on compliments.
Destadsbader: “That is different from a Flemish singer.”
Jeroom: “But you can say that about anything, Niels.
***
Wiam: “Bioengineering is the study of all living sciences. Physics, chemistry, biology and its ramifications.”
Erik Van Looy: “Do you have anything to add to that, Niels?
Destadsbader: “Oh conquer conquer conquer.”
***
Van Looy: “I almost drowned three times.”
Marc-Marie: Three times?
Jeroom: “Yes, the elevator to lift him into the bath was broken.”

Jeroom: “We play at home Temptation island often after, around the fire pit in the garden. Then Elodie plays the woman in love and I the seducer. And our lawn mowing robot plays Viktor Verhulst.”
The most beautiful moment:
You can ask for a specific haircut from the hairdresser, or you can just have a haircut including the face shaved on your head. Niels Destadsbader’s photo round offers plenty of inspiration.
