Surprising confession in ‘The smartest person in the world’. There, newcomer Manu Van Acker (24) explains that he suffers from a mild form of kleptomania. “A ballpoint pen: I like to take that with me,” he explains. Jade Mintjens and Robin Pront provided a great final.
The ‘3-6-9’ round also proved to be a source of information about the candidates on Thursday. For example, newcomer Manu Van Acker not only revealed that he hates ‘dirty feet’ and pushy children, but also that he has been friends with Jade for years and that mild kleptomania is no stranger to him. “I think I have that in an acceptable form,” said the presenter. “Here (in the studio of ‘De Slimste Mens’, ed.) I have also seen: ‘Ah, a ballpoint pen from Play4’, I would like to take that with me.” That confession immediately causes jury member Tine Embrechts to want to check whether her box is locked.
Sponsor’s joke
After Manu Van Acker also said that he likes to wear a ‘handy salopette’ with a zipper, Erik Van Looy – again – provided a striking vestmentary moment. While he was still presenting on Tuesday in a bodice, this time it was the lining of his costume that caused hilarity. It turned out to consist of two images of the quizmaster. “A joke from Café Costume, the sponsor,” says Van Looy.

That provoked Tine Embrechts – literally and figuratively – into an outpouring. For example, she said that she loves leopard print, but that she tries to keep it subtle and classy. She first shows her shoes, and then flashes her bra – with the same print. Hilarity and surprise go hand in hand among those present.

Not embarrassing
Despite his strong start, Robin Pront finished third in the rankings on Thursday – thanks to ‘The Little Mermaid’. Manu Van Acker won, Jade Mintjens came second. The fact that she had to compete against Robin Pront in the final did not give her much confidence. “Losing to him: that’s not embarrassing,” she already hedged.
However, the final was evenly matched for a long time, and the games were played well – and quickly. Only when the question was asked about the five most popular Belgian telecom providers did Mintjens lose out. “It’s a shame, but Robin was awarded it,” she said afterwards. With his fourth victory, the director leapfrogs Soundos El Ahmadi (3 participations, 1 victory) and Elisabeth Lucie Baeten (3 participations, 2 victories) in the rankings, and he is now really certain of the final weeks.
