Dutch Mole 4
Episode 5

Aafke knew least about who The Mole was and got eliminated. She was the first
woman to be sent home. Seven contestants remained.
Quebec - Canada
A black gloved hand plays the instructions tape again:"Hi
Mole. You now know who suspects you. Don't panick, because it would be very
weird if no one would suspect you." flashback
Interview Chandrika - Patricia:
Chandrika:"Are you The Mole?" Patricia:"No... euhm.. I'm not The Mole."
Also a flashback of Rene finding the money. "The past
few days they won a lot of money for the group pot. That doesn't matter, because
they will probably lose that again the next days. At the end of the first every
will get together again and you know where. The next days you might have to make
a personal sacrifice, because some people can phone home. If you don't do that,
it's easier to sabotage. However, a Mole is only human. Decide for yourself what
you do with it. Keep up with the good work! You're halfway!"
Day 10 - Duchesnay
They all wake up in their tents in the snowy forest. They wash
themselves in a nearby creek.
CC
Ferdi:"I miss my girlfriend and my dog a lot. The days go so
fast, you're always moving and in full action. But when you're lying in your bed
and all is quiet, you start thinking about those things."
Ron:"You're together with people who are all nice, but you
can only trust them to a certain degree."
Chandrika:"If it's a bit tough, or these a difficult
challenge or you're not feeling ok, those are the moments you think of
home."
Elise:"It's weird. Knowing that life at home is continuing
and we're all in a game, outside life. Very strange feeling."
Quebec
They are having breakfast in some kind of pub or restaurant as
the host arrives. She tells them they have to divide into a male and female
group. Then she points at Astrid and says:"And I'm taking you
with me!" Astrid stands up and they go away immediately. The
other contestants are slightly upset. Ferdi tells the others:"It's
so weird how it feels when someone is taken away all of a sudden." Patricia:"Yeah
and it all happens so fast."
CC
Astrid:"I didn't like being separated from the group. One
of the disadvantages is that I can't keep an eye on my Mole anymore. I can't do
my job anymore. I can't search my Mole. That's really annoying."
The male group is taken to Jean-Larose Falls. It's a very cold
stream in the forest with a lot of waterfalls. The men have to find 5 cylinders
somewhere in the waterfalls. Each cylinder contains a question. Two of the men
have to try and find the cylinders. The other guy has to call the women to tell
the question. The women have to go find the answer to those questions and in the
end they will all have to get together at a secret location. They get 3 hours to
do so.


Rene and Ron decided to go in the waterfalls to find the
cylinders.
CC
Ron:"Rene immediately raised his hand to go into the water.
Ferdi and I were doubting about what we wanted to do, so we decided to toss for
it to see who would go along with Rene."
Rene:"When we arrived at the location for the challenge it
seemed like you were at a movie set of 'The Fellowship of the Ring'. There was
mist over the water, the forest aroudn it, you saw icicles everywhere. You could
expect to see an Orc any time."
Ferdi will call the women to tell them the questions.
The women are still in the pub, waiting for Ferdi to call them with
questions. Every question leads them to a new location. The challlenge is
successful if all of them arrive at the final location.
Rene finds the first cylinder.
CC
Ferdi:"Rene and Ron were searching the cylinders and I had to
take those from them and call the women with the question. They were in town
with a car. With the clues I called they could find a location to a place we
were nearby at."
Mont-Saint-Anne
Astrid walks up a hill to an old wooden shed.
CC
Astrid:"I got taken away from the group and was invited to go to
a certain place. I walked up that hill and I really felt... I was wondering what
would happen to me. I found it very exciting. I arrived in a shed where a
proposition was made to me of which I was very impressed."
She finds a portable player and presses play to watch the tape. The host appears:"Dear Astrid. In this box I will put the money your team mates can win in the challenge: 7,000 €. But you can also win this money if you decide to leave the game tomorrow. If you do, you get the box and the money in it. The others won't win anything with their challenge today. They don't know that, because they're still trying to let the challenge succeed. But even if they don't win, you can still get the money. That is, if you leave the game tomorrow before the elimination takes place. Until then you get the time to think it over. Good luck!"
...
Ferdi calls the first question to Patricia: Who
founded the city of Quebec? Elise asks the owner of the pub, who tells
her it's Champlain.
The final location the contestants have to go to is near the place Astrid
was taken to. The host is already there and the women call her saying the answer
is Champlain. The host tells them to go to 'Rue du Petit Champlain'. Patricia:"And
what do we have to do there?" Host:"You'll see." Patricia:"OK
thank you."
The girls go to the first address, where they can find the answer to the
next question. The correct answer leads them to another address to find the
answer to another question until they reach the final destination. They have 2
hours and 27 minutes left.
Patricia is driving. Elise tells her where to go:"Drive
along this road and at the end we arrive at a hotel where we have to go" Chandrika:"Right!"
Elise:"Left, we have to go left."
Patricia:"We have to look at the map. I can't drive and look
at the map at the same time!"
Ron and Rene are rapelling down a waterfall. In
the waterfall is one of the cylinders. Rene pushes it out and it falls in
the water, Ron (who's already down the waterfall) quickly jumps in the
water and grabs it.
CC
Ferdi:"We were supposed to find those cylinders in the correct
order. At least, I had to phone the questions in the correct order, which was
very important."
Rene and Ron come to the conclusion that they
missed on cylinder.
CC
Ferdi:"They found the first one and next they got the third
cylinder. So we had to go back to look for the second one."
Rene:"You really had to watch in every tiny hole and under
every rock. You walk past it very quickly, because you have so many things on
your mind."
Ron:"So we had to go back to find the second cylinder and we
wanted to start searching from the point where we foudn the first one, but we
didn't know where that was anymore. So we walked back a bit too much."
The girls are still driving. Elise:"OK so we
can't go straight ahead here, so we have to go left." Patricia:"No
I can still go straight ahead!" Elise:"Oh then we have
to go straight ahead until we can't anymore and we have to go left there."
CC
Patricia:"Well, there were some things that went wrong, but I
wanted to keep an eye on Chandrika, which I did. I took care of the phone and we
made sure that either Elise wrote instructions down or Chandrika, but if she
wrote anything down, I checked it."
Chandrika:"I really felt it was a pity that I was goofing
aroudn with two women in a car."
They arrive at the location and walk down an alley with
restaurants. Rene has foudn the 2nd cylinder at the waterfalls and Ferdi
calls the question in it to the girls: Which nationality did the dock workers
have who came to this neighbourhood in the 19th century?
Elise and Chandrika ask a man, who tells them most of
the dock workers were from Ireland. They thank him and then the man starts
talking in Dutch:"You're from Holland! I have friends there who live in
Den Haag and I know Holland very well." The girls are anxious to
continue though, because the chit-chat is costing time. Elise:"Well
you speak Dutch very well, but we're in a hurry, so... thank you! Bye!"
Patricia calls the host and tells her the nationality is Irish, which
is correct and they get a new address: Chez Marie, 8706, Avenue Royale.
...
CC
Astrid:"I have no idea what the others are doing at the moment.
I think they are doing a challenge with which they can win a lot of money and I
can go away with that money. I think they won't like it if I do that."
"I'm almost sure that I escaped the red screen by jumping off the
bridge." flashback of
episode 3: Astrid jumps from the bridge. No one gets eliminated. "So
I have a weak spot in the game, but on the other side I have the chance to step
out the game and take home some money, so in a way I feel I don't have much
choice. I could really use the money. It's really tough."
...
Ferdi calls the girls for third question: Which season
is Maple Syrup time?
The girls drive to the third address while the guys try to find the fourth
cylinder.
Elise and Chandrika go ask a woman about the question. She tells
them it's in spring time. And so they get their next address: Basilica de St.
Anne. They try to find the address on the map. Patricia also tells the
girls that she wants to answer the phone and no one else.
They have an hour and 19 minutes left and Ferdi calls for the 4th
question: In this basilica you can find a copy of a statue made by
Michelangelo. What's the statue's name?
So the girls drive to the basilica...
CC
Elise:"I was explaining Patricia she had to go left, but she
drove straight ahead. So she said 'Oh hang on, I'll turn the car.' and then she
drove on a terrain which was very muddy to turn the car. And we got stuck in the
mud. I thought it was a really strange action."
Patricia drives on the terrain, but instead of reversing
back on the other lan, she makes a big turn on the terrain and gets stuck in the
mud.
Elise:"I don't know if this was a smart thing to do."
Patricia:"I don't think so either."
They laugh. Elise:"Are you serious?" Patricia:"Yes,
I'm stuck. Really."
They have an hour and 9 minutes left. Ron and Rene
are still rapelling down some waterfalls. They find the last cylinder, which
they have to open when they are reunited with the girls.
The girls have arived at the basilica and Elise and Chandrika run
inside the basilica, but Patricia is still outside.
CC
Elise:"Patricia immediately ran to the information desk, but
Chandrika and me wanted to spread our chances, so we already went into the
basilica."
Patricia:"I had quickly found the name, but then I had to go
find Elise and Chandrika to get back quickly, because we had a time limit."
Patricia enters the basilica and meets Elise. Patricia:"I've
already got it!! Why did you two run away?! I don't understand this! Come on,
let's go!"
But where's Chandrika?
CC
Elise:"And then Chandrika turned out to be somewhere downstairs
in the basement somewhere, so we had to go find her first."
Patricia calls the host and tells her the answer is
'Pieta'. The have to go to the final location: the skilifts at Mont Ste. Anne,
where they will meet the guys.
CC
Elise:"We met the guys at the final address and there we opened
the final cylinder which contained the question 'What is a Sugar...' something
in French."
Question 5: What's the French name for Sugar Shack?
They think it's a kind of snack or a drink. Patricia suddenly runs
back to the car.
The others go ask someone, who tells them it's a place where they make sugar
from Maple Syrup. Ferdi:"OK, then we know it. Patricia has to
call Angela (=the host)!"
Patricia calls and says it's 'Cabin à Sucre'. The host
tells her to go to a pick-up truck on the parking lot, which has its headlights
turned on. They run to it and get in. They have 17 minutes left. The pick-up
truck brings them somewhere.
CC
Ferdi:"We were taken up the ski run and halfway we arrived at
the Sugar Shack."
Chandrika:"We saw a small shed. At first we were afraid we
had to spend the night there, but that wasn't the case, luckily. In the shed was
a small tv and we saw Astrid on it."
Astrid appears on the screen:"Dear fellow-contestants, I'll call you by name, Ron, Rene, Ferdi, Chandrika, Elise and Patricia. You are now doing a challenge with which you can win 7,000 €. I have the money at the moment. I'm curious to find out whether you have succeeded in the challenge. I'll assure that the money is safe in my hands. I'll see you tomorrow!"
The contestants don't know what is going on. Chandrika:"Tomorrow?
Huh?"
CC
Ron:"Something's going on, but we don't know what. That's not
really great."
Elise:"I'm very curious as to what she is doing... She's got
7,000 € for us... very strange..."
Quebec
They have dinner at a restaurant and make a toast to Astrid.
CC
Patricia:"It seems as though the six of us are left, which is
weird, because we didn't have that fourth elimination round yet."
Ron:"I think she might have been offered an exemption. Or
maybe something's wrong and she wants to go home, but if that's the case, I
think we would have noticed something was wrong earlier on."
Rene:"It's frustrating that my Mole isn't with us during
these challenges because I can't keep an eye on her and it will be difficult for
me to answer some questions in the questionnaire."
Astrid has dinner at her hotel:"At this moment,
five more contestants have to be eliminated until the final round. I might as
well be one of those contestants, which means I'd be sent home without any
money. So that's why I'm seriuously considering to take the money and
leave."
"I'm really curious to know what they are doing and what they think I'm
doing and what's happening to me."
The host arrives at the restaurant and asks two people: a man
and a woman.


Rene and Elise volunteer. They go outside and the host tells them
they have to arrange sleeping arrangements for six people. They get one hour to
do so. If they fail, they get the address of an inn which they will have to pay
for themselves.
The others are taken to 'Chez Dagobert'. When they go inside they see a lot of
people (mostly older people) line dancing. Patricia starts laughing and
can't stop laughing.
CC
Ferdi:"We went inside and I saw all those cowboy hats and I
thought 'Oh no, this is going to happen.' and it did happen."
Ron:"And yes, we had to go linedancing and that's something I
would normally never ever do!"
The host tells them the other two are trying to arrange a place
to sleep. During that one hour, they have to try and study a linedancing act. If
they do it well, they win 2,500 €. While the host is explaining it to them, Patricia
is already encouraging Ferdi and Ron to participate.
CC
Patricia:"See, I find linedancing very dull and Ron and Ferdi
didn't want to do it and didn't want the money."
They decide to do it anyway.
Rene and Elise enter a hotel and explain the receptionist that
they need a place to sleep and that they are willing to clean and do the dishes
for it. Rene is not talking. The only thing he was told to do was just
smile. The receptionist doesn't want to help them though. So they go to another
hotel and explain the lady at the front desk about their assignment. Lady:"I
feel like I'm being fooled here. I don't believe you haven't got any money with
you." Elise empties all her pockets to show her she really
doesn't have any money.
Lady:"OK, so you're participating in a tv show..." Elise:"Yes,
and we have an assignment." Lady:"What is 'an assignment'
again?"
They explain again. Lady:"I can't allow six people to sleep here
without paying. I have a supervisor who's at Château Loriet. I can't decide on
it. You have to go there and ask for Richard Chenier."
The others have started their linedancing lessons.
CC
Ron:"I found myself very silly on the dancefloor there and the
only thing I could think of was 'Get me out of here as fast as possible!' "
Ron has paired up with Patricia and Ferdi is dancing
with Chandrika.
CC
Ferdi:"The group has become smaller and Chandrika is my Mole. It
was quite funny I was dancing with her. It felt like I was in league with the
enemy! It remains a game."
Rene and Elise have reached Château Loriet
meanwhile and meet Richard Chenier. They give him a hand and say hello, but then
the man says he doesn't want to be filmed. He's not authorising it and so they
leave.
They ask around in the street and find a guy who has a big van with 7 seats.
CC
Elise:"I was getting desperate and I talked to someone in the
street who wanted to lend us his car with 7 seats we could sleep in, so I wrote
down his phone number and I said I hoped we wouldn't need his assistance. And
then afterwards we went into a hotel, which looked very rich, so I thought it
wouldn't work."
The two go into the rich and expensive hotel and tell the
receptionist about their assignment and the fact that they don't have any money,
but would like to clean. The woman tells them to wait a while "Just a
second, I will verify what I can do for you. I'll call my supervisor and will
see what I can do."
She gets back after a few minutes and says:"Done deal! I only need a
print of a credit card. No charge will be done on it."
Elise:"OK, we'll be back in half an hour! Bye!"
Elise and Rene hug each other and run out of the hotel
cheering. Then they go to the pub where the others are doing the line dance.
The others have been practicing for an hour and Linda (the instructor) will now
judge whether they know how to dance well. So now they dance for real. For the
money.
CC
Ron:"We had to do a line dance and that's something I'd normally
never ever do. No matter which dance I have to do actually, because I don't like
standing on the dancefloor and have people look and stare at me. So this was the
biggest challenge for me in 'De Mol' up to now. But it's over and I survived. I
can handle everything now!"
They win and now have 28,400 € in the group pot.
The host asks Rene and Elise what their result is for the sleeping
arrangements. Elise:"Well, I can tell you I've got the phone
number of a man who can lend us his car which has 7 seats. So we could sleep
there."
The others are a bit disappointed.
Elise:"However... [cheers] We got a hotel room for the six
of us!!"
They're all dancing in the disco and having fun.
CC
Rene:"It's a pity Astrid isn't with us, because she's very
enjoyable."
Elise:"In the disco [where they did the line dance] I
felt she had to be there, because she would have liked it a lot. It was a
pity."
Chandrika:"I think Astrid now has a luxurious hotel. I think
she needed it. I think it's something like that. She probably has some kind of
challenge too. Could be she already did something today or maybe she has to do
something tomorrow. We'll see."
...
Astrid is sitting near an open fire and is drinking some
wine. Alone...
CC
Astrid:"What I will miss most when I leave? As funny as it may
sound, I'd miss the game, the group all the weird twists. I'm very curious to
know how this game ends. I will miss the feeling that I have a chance to win a
big amount of money. And I will also miss Canada. It's a beautiful
country."
Day 11 - Quebec
The contestants awake in their luxurious hotel room.
Astrid is already up and jogging around in the big city. She has
breakfast in a fast-food restaurant. Alone again.
CC
Astrid:"I have to make the decision tonight whether I leave with
7,000 € or continue playing the game where I might win the entire group pot. I
have to start all over, find a new Mole and concentrate very well. Of course I
do have a shot at it, but I think I'm very behind compared to the others. I find
it very difficult. The game gets cut off for me quite abruptly."
...
The host meets the contestants (apart from Astrid). She
asks if they slept well and whether Ron had any nightmares about the line
dance. He says he didn't, but that it was the biggest challenge of his life.
Host:"I was wondering whether you guys were homesick?" Some say
they are a bit homesick from time to time.
Host:"I've got a challenge with which you can win minutes to phone home.
But that's only for four of you! Two people have to sacrifice themselves. Who
will it be?"


Ron and Chandrika sacrifice themselves, they have to go somewhere
else, where they will get their instructions. They go to Château Frontenac into
a room next to a big other room. Moments later, the other four contestants
arrive and enter the room next to Ron and Chandrika without
knowing the other two are there.
The four play the game 'Ik ga op reis en ik neem mee' (I'm going
on a trip and I'm bringing along a --- ). Each contestant has to say something
he/she takes along on a trip. The next one has to repeat the previous items that
were summed up and add a new one to the list. But the new word they add has to
start with the last letter of the previous word. The person that loses first,
can phone home for 2 minutes, the next one gets 4 minutes, the third one gets 6
minutes and the winner gets 8 minutes to phone home.
Ron and Chandrika are in the other room and can watch the four. If
they can collect all items that are mentioned, they can win 2,000 €.
I will write the words in Dutch here, because the next word has to begin with
the last letter of the previous word. The translation is between brackets.
Elise begins:"I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing
along a... yoga matje (yoga mat)"
Rene laughs and is next:"I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing
along a yoga matje and erwtensoep (pea soup)."
Patricia:"I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing along a yoga
matje, erwtensoep (pea soup) and pyama (pyamas)."
Ferdi adds 'aardappel' (potato)
Ron and Chandrika are writing all the words down carefully,
because they have to go find the items the four others take along on their trip.
CC
Chandrika:"It immediately started with a yoga mat from Elise.
Ron and I, we looked at each other and thought 'Hmm this is going to be
difficult!' "
Elise has added lepelaar (a kind of
water bird. Watch a picture of it by clicking
here).
Rene then adds a rammelaar (rattle for a baby), Patricia adds
'ring', Ferdi adds 'glass', Elise then adds 'slabak' (a dish to
put lettuce in). Rene adds 'kaars' (candle). Patricia goes for
'slang' (snake) and Ferdi adds a 'grijper' (gripper). Elise then
names 'roodborstje' (a bird: robin, redbreast).
From then on we hear a mix of all four naming all items through each other and
it ends with Elise:"... and euhmm... doornroosje (the
fairy tale figure 'Sleeping Beauty')"
CC
Elise:"I was naming very explicit things such as a lepelaar, a tovenaar
(wizard) so that it rhymed and I got remember it better."
Another round has passed we hear Rene saying "Een
laars (a boot)" and we hear Elise adding another word:"Euhmm...
a pike?"
CC
Rene:"I found it quite a tough game because we kept on getting
further in the game and after a while you just can't remember the words
anymore."
Rene is stuck and can't come up with any word anymore.
He's the first one out and gets 2 minutes to phone home. The others continue. Ron
and Chandrika still observing them.
CC
Ron:"They started naming such weird things. I didn't understand
it at all! I thought they would say things like shampoo and a toothbrush and
that kind of stuff and that I could just get it out of my own backpack. The Mole
couldn't do much. The only thing she could have done to make it as difficult as
possible to us, was to name something which is impossible to find."
Patricia adds 'eikel' (acorn or also Dutch abusive slang
for dickhead). They all laugh. Chandrika too:"This is bad!"
Ferdi makes a mistake. He says 'glass' instead of 'gripper' and is
the second one out and gets 4 minutes. Only Elise and Patricia are
left. Elise succeeds and it's Patricia's turn. She adds a nerts
(mink) to the items.
Chadrika and Ron laugh.
We hear another item named: a dinner table. Then Patricia makes a
mistake. She gets 6 minutes and Elise 8.
Ron and Chandrika get 60 minutes to go find the mink, the lepelaar
and 35 other items. They go to some restaurants and hotels. They get some things
for free, other stuff they have to bring back.
They find a wizard (a puppet on strings) but aren't allowed to take it with
them.
Meanwhile, the four call home. Rene is first:"Hi,
it's me! I've got 2 minutes to call you."
CC
Rene:"I liked having the opportunity to talk to my wife. It was
emotional. She started crying because I missed her and I miss her too. Very
emotionally charged minutes. I couldn't talk that much with her, but it affects
you in a way. It was difficult."
Ferdi:"I could phone home 4 minutes, which affected me a lot.
She was quite upset only because of the fact that I was on the phone, I guess
she didn't expect that."
Ferdi on the phone:"I think we both underestimated it. I find it very difficult too. *sighs* ... I know who it is already, from day one! I'm just waiting... I think if more people are on to the same Mole it'll come down to knowledge about the Mole and I think my knowledge is quite well, so I expect to be in the final round."
The host comes to the four and tells them Ron and Chandrika
have to collect the items they named. They all start laughing. Host:"And
that's quite difficult for them, expecially because of Elise's and Patricia's
lists. However, you can help them. They don't have to go collect the items you
named, but in order to do so, you can't phone home."
CC
Elise:"I doubted about whether I would do it. But Ferdi and
PAtricia immediately said not to do it."
Ferdi:"I wouldn't do that. Just enjoy your
minutes to phone home." Rene:"Then we just don't get any
money."
CC
Patricia:"You already had the promise that you could
phone home and it's difficult to step away from it then. The other two guys had
already phoned home and they told us not to let it slip. I was glad to hear
that."
Patricia has 6 minutes to phone home. No one answers
though...
Elise talks to her boyfriend. She has a nice chat about the game and
stuff.
Ron and Chandrika arrive. The host asks them some items. They have
a potato, a very big yoga mat, pea soup (fresh from a restaurant in a cup!) a
picture of a wizard in a fairy tale book, two very small candles, a big tv set
and a lots of more stuff. The host asks if they have an 'eikel' (acorn or slang
for dickhead) and Chandrika points at Ron! Everyone laughs. The
host lets it count. She then asks for a dinner table and Chandrika points
at the table the others are sitting around. But they don't have a mink and
several other things and failed to win 2,000 €. The pot sticks at 28,400 €.
Suspicions
Rene:"We're missing Astrid for two days now already. Yesterday
morning during breakfast she was taken away. It could be some kind of Mole act,
I don't know. But she still remains my number one suspect."
Elise:"Chandrika has her suspicious moments when she does
something weird or does nothing it all. She sometimes gives inconsistent answers
to some questions. I think I'm going for Chandrika as The Mole."
Ron:"From the first 30 seconds I saw Patricia I suspected her
and saw her as The Mole." flashback
Patricia suddenly runs
back to the car. "Patricia... she ran back to the car yesterday
because she 'had to do something there'..."
Patricia:"Yesterday in the basilica Chandrika tried to stall
time. But I guess it was difficult for her because I was so nearby." flashback
Chandrika has run into tha basements of the basilica and Patricia
tells Elise to go find her. "Chandrika. Absolutely, yep.
All the time up to know so I'm sticking to that."
Chandrika:"At this moment I haven't really seen anything. I'm
voting on a Mole who's doing great work, so that doesn't make sense!
*laughs*" flashback
to episode 4. Patricia chops the log in 4 parts successfully. "But
I do think it's her."
Ferdi:"The group has become smaller and Chandrika is
my Mole. That rises some tensions, because you think through every word you say
to each other."
In her hotel room, separated from the group, Astrid makes
her questionnaire.
Astrid:"If I stay, I'm going to focus on Elise, because I think
she's playing a very weird game, also concerning friendships in the group. And
Patricia, because I find her a bit too playful in the group. So if I stay I'm
going to keep an eye on those two." flashback
Astrid watches a tape in the Sugar Shack and sees the host:"But you can also win this money
if you decide to leave the game tomorrow." "The
elimination takes place in about an hour. I have thought and doubted a lot. But
I have to make a decision and I think I know my decision by know."
Suspicious in this episode
Why did the host explicitly choose Astrid
for the money offer whereas at other times, the contestants themselves can
appoint someone?
The guys missed the second cylinder and had to go back, wasting time.
Patricia wanted to turn the car on a muddy terrain and got stuck.
Chandrika and Elise ran into the basilic, while the answer was
easily found by Patricia at the information desk. Then they wasted time
having to search Chandrika in the basilic's basements.
Both Patricia and Elise named very strange items to 'take along on
a trip'. They didn't hand back their phone minutes, causing Ron and Chandrika
to fail the challenge.
Elimination
The 6 contestants arrive and sit down. One chair remains empty... Astrid's
chair.
Host:"Dear contestants, it's time again for another elimination. But as
you can see, we're missing someone. Here she is."
They all look at the door and Astrid walks in and sits down on the
empty chair. Some contestants say things like "Hi!" "It's such
a long time ago." "Where have you been all that time?" Astrid
just smiles.
Host:"Everyone has done the questionnaire and in a while, one of you has
to go home. But first I have to tell you something. Yesterday I made a proposal
to Astrid. If Astrid decides to leave the game tonight at free will, she could
take the money of yesterday's challenge along with her. 7,000 €. That money
won't go into the group pot. Should Astrid decide to stay in the game, then we
