The Smartest Mens: Ranking the Candidates, Gallery Moments, and Maarten’s Bizarre Experience

The smartest lookWhich candidate stood out? What was Maarten’s moment and which gallery offered the most conversation material? A look back at the past week of De slimste mens.

Candidate

The smartest person has been the springboard for the not-so-well-known Dutchman for many years. Every season there is at least one candidate that is discovered by the general public. Think of biologist Mátyás Bittenbinder (winter 2022/23) who is not inferior to Freek Vonk, comedians Lisa Loeb (2021) and Stefano Keizers (winter 2016/17, currently called Donny Ronny), opera singer Francis van Broekhuizen (2020), Snollebollekes singer Rob Kemps (winter 2020/2021) and our own columnist Angela de Jong (2017).
This year I predict that we will hear from at least two participants. First of all Henk Schiffmacher. Perhaps not an undiscovered gem, but far too little on TV. This tattoo king is never short of a spicy anecdote (the best one: due to a venereal disease, he missed a film role in Apocalypse now). Eva Jinek, please make this man your regular table guest!
Then comedian Merel Pauw, aka rapper Elmer. As far as I’m concerned, she doesn’t need a mustache for a glorious breakthrough. But if she does stick it on, make sure it’s tight.

Gallery

After this week’s last broadcast, one thing is certain: I will never get in the car with comedian Iris Rulkens, influencer Soraya Riem or singer Meindert Talma. None of them recognized the hazard lights during the gallery where eight signals were searched on the dashboard. Now I can still forgive Talma (with his dry humor and deep frown, Maarten van Rossem’s perfect stand-in!). What an exciting participation that man has behind him. Just before his debut, his parents fell off the stands and his mother was injured and taken to hospital. Fortunately, his mother is now home after a long rehabilitation. As befits a true artist, Talma is already brooding on a Slimste Mens song. Maybe a duet with rapper Elmer?

Martin moment

The ‘field marshal of facts’ revealed this week that his house was broken into twice. While his wife’s bag was being looted, Maarten van Rossem continued to snore happily. I immediately thought of the latest burglary trick that the police warned about this summer. After the tape and the toothpick, burglars now sprinkle garden soil in front of your door. If this is not cleaned up, it is a signal that the residents are on vacation. Was the jury president a victim of this? No, he had left the string (!) hanging out of his door twice. You can still be ‘the philosopher from Wageningen’, but Maarten van Rossem is not infallible either.
