Mart Hoogkamer and Chahid Charrak’s Bumbling Adventure in Hunted VIPS 2025 Leaves Viewers Stunned
The new season of Hunted VIPS has kicked off with a bang, but not the kind fans were expecting. Mart Hoogkamer,the singer known for his hit “Ik ga zwemmen,” and Chahid Charrak,the dynamic influencer,have become the talk of the show—but not for their cunning escape tactics. Rather, their series of blunders has left viewers scratching their heads and questioning their strategy.
From the very first episode, Mart and Chahid seemed steadfast to make every possible mistake. Mart called his entire circle of acquaintances,even dropping Chahid’s name,and the duo threw away their much-needed map. Social media erupted with reactions, with one viewer quipping, “The teeth, Mart and Chahid!” Another added, “Why on earth do you participate if you’re going to fail Hunted so spectacularly?”
The criticism didn’t stop there. Mart, in particular, bore the brunt of the jokes. Comments ranged from “Mart forgot to take his mind” to “That guy swam too much in Bacardi Lemon. IQ of an unwashed cauliflower.” Fans even joked about awarding them the “Famke Louise Trophy,” a nod to the infamous duo Famke Louise and Denzel Slager, who were eliminated early in a previous season.Viewers are already predicting a short run for Mart and Chahid. One fan boldly declared, “If Mart and Chahid are not caught in the next episode, I will buy Bacardi Lemon for anyone who believes they’ll make it to episode three.” Another agreed, saying, “I think this will be a very short season.”
Despite their missteps, Mart and Chahid have managed to make history—albeit for all the wrong reasons. As one viewer put it, “The actions that Mart and Chahid make are to cry and are really allowed in the book of the stupidest mistakes of Hunted!”
The new season of Hunted VIPS also features other notable duos, including actresses Renée Fokker and Ortál, actors Willem Voogd and Britte Lagcher, tiktok stars Roxanne Kwant and Duncan Tromp, and actor Geza Weisz with rapper Dio. The show airs every Monday at 8:35 PM on NPO 1 and is available for streaming on NPO Start.

the new season of Hunted VIPS has kicked off with a bang, but not the kind fans were expecting. Mart Hoogkamer, the singer known for his hit “Ik ga zwemmen,” and Chahid Charrak, the dynamic influencer, have become the talk of the show—but not for their cunning escape tactics. Rather, their series of blunders has left viewers scratching their heads and questioning their strategy. World-Today-News Senior Editor, Sarah Thompson, sits down with reality TV expert Dr. Erik Van der meer to break down Mart and Chahid’s performance and what it means for the rest of the season.
Opening Blunders: What Whent Wrong?
Sarah Thompson: Dr. Van der Meer, let’s dive right in. Mart Hoogkamer and Chahid Charrak made some staggering mistakes in the first episode, from calling their contacts to discarding their map. What’s your take on their strategy—or lack thereof?
Dr. Erik Van der Meer: Sarah, it’s hard to even call it a strategy. Hunted is all about staying under the radar, and Mart and Chahid did the exact opposite. By calling their contacts,they left digital footprints that the hunters could easily trace. Throwing away their map was equally baffling—navigation is key in this game. These moves suggest they underestimated the complexity of the show or overestimated their ability to improvise.
Fan Reactions: From Hilarious to Harsh
Sarah Thompson: Social media erupted with reactions, with fans comparing Mart’s IQ to “an unwashed cauliflower” and joking about awarding them the “Famke Louise Trophy.” Why do you think viewers have been so harsh?
Dr. Erik Van der Meer: Reality TV thrives on drama, and Mart and Chahid delivered it—just not in the way they intended. Fans expect a level of competence, especially from celebrities who’ve signed up for a high-stakes show like this. Their mistakes were so glaring that they became unintentional comedy gold. The comparisons to Famke Louise and Denzel Slager, who were also eliminated early, highlight how viewers see them as a repeat of past failures.
Playing to the Crowd: A strategy or Genuine Missteps?
sarah Thompson: Some fans speculate that Mart and Chahid might be playing up their incompetence for entertainment value. do you think there’s any truth to that?
dr. Erik Van der Meer: It’s possible, but it’s a risky move. Hunted isn’t a comedy show—it’s a survival game. While their antics might make for good TV, they’re also shortening their own run on the program. if they’re intentionally playing the fool, they’re sacrificing their chance to win for a few moments of fame. I’m inclined to believe these were genuine missteps rather than a calculated strategy.
Predictions: how Long Will They Last?
Sarah Thompson: Fans are already predicting an early elimination. One even offered to buy Bacardi Lemon for anyone who thinks Mart and Chahid will make it to episode three. What’s your prediction?
Dr. Erik Van der Meer: Based on their current trajectory, it’s hard to see them lasting much longer. The hunters on Hunted are incredibly skilled, and Mart and Chahid have given them plenty of leads to work with. Unless they drastically change their approach, I’d be surprised if they make it past the next episode. Early elimination seems almost inevitable at this point.
the Bigger Picture: What Does This Mean for the Season?
Sarah Thompson: Despite their struggles,Mart and Chahid have become a focal point of the season. How do you think their performance will impact the overall viewing experience?
Dr. Erik Van der Meer: Their missteps have certainly generated buzz, but it’s a double-edged sword. While it’s entertaining to watch, it also detracts from the intensity and strategy that makes Hunted so compelling. Viewers might start to question the credibility of the show if participants aren’t taking it seriously. On the flip side, it’s created a sense of anticipation—everyone wants to see if they can turn things around or if they’ll go down in history as the most hapless duo yet.
Conclusion
Mart Hoogkamer and Chahid Charrak’s rocky start on Hunted VIPS 2025 has made them the talk of the season—but not for the reasons they might have hoped. Their series of blunders has left fans both amused and critical, with many predicting an early exit. Whether they can turn things around or cement their place in Hunted history remains to be seen. For now, viewers will be tuning in to see if they’ve learned from their mistakes or if their adventure will end as quickly as it began.
