We could talk about the fanaticism of frontrunner Rob Goossens. Or about writer Michèlle Schimscheimer who, in the last round, struggled with a question about a saw (jigsaw, circular saw, hacksaw, it wasn’t that difficult) and then got a total blackout. Or about singer Milo Driessen who recorded the number of the animal ambulance for charity got his leg tattooed. But our attention was mainly focused on the man behind Philip Freriks. He was there again! Smiling broadly as always. Quiz fanatic Ramon Wiendels has been among the audience of De smartest mens almost three hundred times. The resident of Doetinchem even has a special weekend subscription for the train to attend as many entertainment programs as possible. Three years ago threw Wiendels in this newspaper already had a ball: if the creators of his favorite quiz ever asked him, he wouldn’t hesitate for a second. Dear Philip and Maarten, what are you watching? Make this wish come true! Or better yet: let him compete against Goossens. Fireworks guaranteed!
