Welcome to The Genius.
A game that will challenge every single brain cell.
We've already lost 6 players in the past weeks.
They were no match for the mind games of The Creator
and the power of their opponents.
Thomas, Nouchka, Anna-Maja, Nelke, and Feride played the following Main Match last week.
The Main Match is 'Take It Or Leave It'.
Leave it.
Thomas' strong position in The Genius became unstable.
You give me a few coins.
Yes.
Then I win, you get the Ring of Life.
Feride doubted her alliance with him.
We can make a deal to help each other
with favourable cubes.
However, that almost turned out to be fatal for her.
Feride, you will go to the Death Match.
My strategy is to make use of my knowledge of humans.
She remained ice cold and bluffed her way past Nelke.
I fold.
So, she had to leave The Genius.
What will happen today?
Who will get tangled up
and who will maintain, in the strategic web of...
The Genius.
I'm curious who will go through to the final,
we're really in the second to last episode now.
Yeah, it's coming down to the wire.
Round 7, very close to the final.
Olympic boxer
And, yeah, three great fellow players remain.
I'm going for it.
I think it'll be, more than ever before, every man for himself.
- Every man for himself. / - Yeah.
No more friends.
Chess master
Slowly it is starting to look like we're truly on our own.
I am a little bit nervous, because my position has changed completely.
Thriller writer
The positions have really changed now, right?
Yeah, you were constantly in first place and now you are fourth, all of a sudden.
In one episode, everything got flipped upside down.
Yeah, I really wasted my coins last time, actually.
Last week, Thomas was the only player who spent G-Coins
by bidding on exclusive information in the Main Match.
How many will you bid?
I want to bid 4.
The G-Coins score is as follows:
Thomas drops to last place with only 2 G-Coins.
Nouchka is in the best position with 6 G-Coins.
- Ultimately, it was useless to me. / - Yeah, crazy.
Oh my. What's going on there?
Who are these people?
What is this? I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen now.
Ooh la la.
Who are these people? What are they doing here?
Surprising.
Then you think: "Okay, what's going to happen now?"
15 minutes?
2 hours later
15 minutes is insane!
You don't ask that to a lady...
So, players, are you curious?
Yeah, why are these people here?
They're here for the Main Match,
which will be played with 10 guests in this episode.
Before the game starts,
you will have 1 hour to talk with these guests.
I will explain the rules of the game afterwards.
The more information you gather,
the easier the game will be.
You will now have 1 hour,
try your best.
Uh, they have 1 hour?
But, what kind of information?
And how will they make use of it in this Main Match?
How will you operate moving forward?
- Hi, I'll introduce myself first. / - Hi. Good day.
Good day.
Okay, uh, let's start with you. What's your name?
Tasmara.
Tasmara, okay, pretty name.
What's your favourite colour?
- Red. / - Red, okay.
Where on earth do I go? Jeez.
I truly had no idea. I thought like, "Okay, uh, typical friendship book list of questions,
(A book for children to fill with personal information from friends)
like: What is your favourite colour? Favourite hobby? Sport?"
- What do you do for a living, if I may ask? - I'm a bus driver, in public transport.
Bus driver, ah, great. Favourite board or card game?
Board game has to be Monopoly.
Mono- You too. This will turn out great if we all get similar answers here.
Okay, favourite colour?
Red.
I see a pattern.
I already see a tiny, tiny pattern.
But... Yeah, maybe it's just speculation.
Criminal law lawyer Feride feels at home.
Firos, what do you do for a living?
- I'm an electrician. / - Electrician.
- Do you also have kids, or not? / - No.
No kids. What's your favourite activity?
Cooking, travelling,
watching TV.
My strategy is to collect as much information as possible.
Yeah, I actually do the same thing in my own practice as well,
just chatting with people the entire day, to pull as much information as possible from someone.
So I was totally in my element.
And you, Anne, you have nice hair.
Thanks.
Does that represent 'Rock power' a little bit? You have nice tattoos as well.
Um... no, just outspoken.
Outspoken, that's what you love.
- Do you have children? / - Yes.
- How many children do you have? / - 4.
And what are your hobbies?
Uh, gaming. I play a lot of Call of Duty.
Call of Duty, oh, cool!
Okay. And you don't have any tattoos at all.
- No. / - Neither do you. / - No.
Think very carefully, put all the guests in order,
and then think: "Okay, what information do I have and how can I divide it between the participants?"
Criminal defense lawyer
What's your name?
- Hetty. / - Hetty.
Okay, and what's your name?
- René. / - René. What do you do for a living?
I am a representative for tattoo parlours.
Okay. A question for you, Hetty: Do you have a tattoo?
- No. / - You do not have a tattoo. Okay.
I saw quite a lot of people with tattoos, I thought,
"Maybe that's sort of a common divisor or something."
Yeah, I'm looking for some sort of links between them.
Maybe people have certain things in common, or certain things not in common.
Do you know each other?
No.
- No, I don't know Hetty. - You've never met before?
- No. / - No.
Okay. Ah, this is really a riddle for me.
But you guys do know some stuff...
The more I ask you guys, the more info I receive,
the better my odds of winning are.
Well, fine. How old are you?
- 54. / - 54.
Is Thomas starting to realise what's going on?
Do they already have an idea what they need to know about our guests?
And how that info could help you in this Main Match.
Difficult. Where should we go now, yeah, how are you feeling?
Tense.
- Tense? / - Yes.
- Okay. And you? / - I don't know what you're going to ask.
- Challenging. / - Challenging.
It's a very different game compared to the other games.
Social, interactive, and individual.
Still a lot of uncertainty about what you need to do with your information.
I'm still not quite sure where we're going so I'm just asking random stuff.
Are there any hobbies or things you love that I should know about?
Photography, posing, acting,
painting.
And you?
I'm fanatic about riding motorcycles,
I used to be a professional wrestler.
Okay.
Yeah, in that first hour you have absolutely no idea what to look for.
So eventually I made lists of stuff I want to know from everyone.
But other than that, you have no idea whether you're on the right track.
- Do you have a family, or do you live alone? / - I live with someone.
- With someone... / - Yes.
With?
- With my husband. / - With the husband.
Yes. And 2 cats.
- 2 cats? Okay. / - Yes.
Do you think you're trustworthy?
Yes.
Yep.
Do you think you're trustworthy?
Yes.
Everybody says 'Yes', that's a bit of a clunky question.
Players, the time is ticking.
You have 30 minutes left.
Then I will get to know Gerard a bit better first.
- You look nice. / - Thank you, you too.
Are you sort of like two personalities in one? Can I see it like that?
- Um, they are talents, - Or can you be a different person each day?
talents which I perform.
Feride, do you mind if I join you?
Yes.
- Yes? / - Yes.
- Okay, then I will come back later, okay. / - Yeah.
Well, I didn't want Thomas to find out what I was doing.
And he'd already receive the information I was pulling from those people, sort of for free.
So I thought he should figure that out by himself,
I'm not going to give him an advantage.
Feride doesn't share any information. But what if you did?
Wouldn't you be able to help each other with that?
But nope, it looks like they won't be cooperating today.
What kind of music do you guys like?
80s pop music.
80s pop. And you?
- 50s. / - 50s.
I'm trying to look for a common divisor between the people.
I'm trying the music angle, because there seem to be similarities sometimes.
But it could also be pure coincidence at the moment.
In the container there was Hetty, the woman with the tiger-print, she's an Elvis fan.
And in that room
there's also someone who likes 50s rock 'n' roll. And you too.
It could be a coincidence, of course. But...
Um... yeah...
Yeah... What else should we talk about?
Nouchka has run out of questions,
but every second matters. Each question can help you,
and the time keeps on ticking.
Can you tell me about your tattoos?
Do they all mean something, or...?
My left arm means a lot to me,
because it's closest to my heart.
And the rest is because I think they're pretty.
Do you guys have tattoos as well?
- No. / - No.
Maybe I have to ask the others. Hidden tattoos?
I haven't found any patterns yet.
I also haven't, um... Yeah, haven't seen any
connections between people. I'm not ready to play the game yet.
Only 5 minutes left.
Uh, let's see...
You are Hetty,
you have a 50-year-old daughter, you are 74,
widow for 20 years in December.
Let's see if there's more to ask,
or do you think I know everything?
No.
So I don't know if I'm going in the right direction with the information I'm gathering.
Or there's something making me think: "Am I missing something from a certain topic..."
Which makes me think: "I didn't ask about this."
That's what I'm afraid of.
Players, come to the Gamezone.
The 7th Main Match of The Genius is
'The Great Equalizer'.
A simple game in which you need to make sure
the answers are divided equally.
For this, you will need to use all your observation and analytical skills.
The information you've gathered from the guests
will be useful now.
You will create 3 statements,
to which the guests can respond with 'True' or 'False'.
There are no restrictions to the content of the statement,
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
True
False
as long as it consists of a maximum of 10 words.
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
The guests will honestly answer 'True' or 'False'.
True
False
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
If the result of your statement
is 'True' five times and 'False' five times,
you will score 1 point.
True
False
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
True
False
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
True
False
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
True
False
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
True
False
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
True
False
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
False
True
This is a statement with a maximum of ten words
The player who gained the most points at the end
wins the game.
The player with the least points
will become the elimination candidate,
and will automatically go to the Death Match.
The player with the highest final score will receive 5 G-Coins.
The player with the second highest score
will receive 2 G-Coins.
The game consists of 2 rounds.
Statement 1
In the first round, you will create 3 statements.
Statement 2
Statement 3
One by one, you will give 3 statements to the 10 guests,
beginning with the player with the lowest amount of G-Coins.
You will be given 15 minutes
to prepare your statements.
Good luck, players.
Okay, good luck.
- Good luck, everyone. / - Good luck.
I managed to gather a lot of information from everyone.
Now I have to bring it all together and divide it 50-50.
That's quite a challenge.
It's a challenge for everyone.
And Thomas needs to try even harder.
He's the one with the least G-Coins in his possession.
And as the starting player, he has less time
to formulate his statements.
The other players may continue until it's their turn.
Let's take a quick peek at the collection of information that's available to us.
Where will they look for statements which are 'True' five times
and 'False' five times?
Remember, all four only have a fraction of this information.
They're racking their brains.
Our players are trying to find statements like they're possessed.
And it's not easy.
4. 1, 2, 3...
4.
I find it difficult to come up with 3 statements,
because I gathered a lot of information,
but perhaps it's not the same information about everyone.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
If only you knew all of that in advance, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Fuck.
Now I'm doing age.
But there's one person who didn't want to tell me her age.
What's your age?
You don't ask that to a lady...
You don't want to share that?
- No. / - Okay.
I thought I could easily split it up, like: I am 50 years old.
Then I can draw the line exactly with who's older or who's younger.
However, if one of them didn't want to tell me, then suddenly it becomes difficult.
We're starting the game.
Thomas, come to the Gamezone.
You may present your statements first.
Thomas starts. The others are waiting
and won't hear anything from the others' rounds.
Thomas, you may write down your first statement.
Okay.
"I have tattoos."
A question for you, Hetty: Do you have a tattoo?
- No. / - You do not have a tattoo.
Gerard, do you have tattoos?
No, no.
- You also have tattoos, indeed. / - Yes.
- And you too, or not? / - I don't have tattoos.
You don't have tattoos.
5 red, 5 green. 1 point for you.
The first point has been scored.
With a statement that you, at home, could've come up with as well.
But Thomas thought of a strategy for more success.
With the information you have about these people, you often won't end up with 5-5.
But if you start to link different subjects together,
your statements do get complicated,
but you do end up on 5-5.
But you have to formulate them very well.
My statement is:
"I am female and / or clothed in drag today."
Wait, let me think for a moment.
So you say 'Yes' if you're female.
But you also say 'Yes' if you're clothed in drag.
Whether you identify as female or not.
Tasmara, Anne, Hetty, and Malika say 'Yes'.
And Gerard the drag queen joins them as the fifth.
5 red, 5 green.
1 point for you.
You may write down your last statement.
"I live or work mainly in the province North Brabant."
'Mainly' concerns where you work,
because usually you live in only one place.
Yeah, I get it.
Living or working in Brabant. That 'mainly' is
a built-in assurance for René, the representative who drives around?
René, what do you do for a living?
I'm a representative for tattoo parlours.
Okay.
Aha, look, Firos the electrician lives in Waardenburg in Gelderland.
But apparently he works in Brabant.
Those combination statements get Thomas quite far.
5 red, 5 green.
With this, you earn 1 point.
Thomas, your question round is over.
Now it is Anna-Maja's turn. Good luck.
It is nerve-racking.
I am not confident about my statement.
It's very possible that I phrased it incorrectly.
Or that they interpret it differently.
So I was very nervous.
Has Anna-Maja devised something clever?
She starts with a simple statement, just like Thomas did.
Favourite month of the year?
June for me.
The summer.
Summer.
- And for you? / - Summer.
Summer.
All summer lovers. Summer.
"I have always loved the summer."
That should be 'Yes' ten times, one would think.
Nope, but it is five times.
Smart!
5 red, 5 green.
1 point for you.
The point is safe.
For the next statement, they have to show their true colours.
Yes, I thought: "Favourite colour..."
Red didn't work out at all.
So I thought: "Pink and blue, combining the two in one statement.
That works out with the 10 word maximum."
"My favourite colour is pink or a kind of blue."
Anna-Maja has devised the same strategy as Thomas.
Will she get her second point with this?
5 red, 5 green.
Another point for you.
Thank you.
Two bullseyes already.
Will Anna-Maja cash in on her third statement as well?
"I have tattoos or wear a watch."
There are 5 people with tattoos.
Thomas' statement already proved that.
And someone without a tattoo, with a watch, would've spoiled it here for Anna-Maja.
5 red, 5 green.
Another point for you.
Thank you.
Anna-Maja, your question round is over as well.
Now it is Feride's turn.
I have to say it was one big mess for me.
I had such a gigantic amount of information.
Lots of irrelevant information.
Then I thought: "Okay. At least I know this for sure."
"I have visible tattoos today."
Not blind, after all.
A sigh of relief.
5 red, 5 green. 1 point for you.
So there were no watches needed for that at all.
"I have a steady relationship."
Feride sticks with straight-to-the-point statements
without complicated combinations.
Will she stay on course like that?
5 red, 5 green.
Another point for you.
I love you.
"I have at least 1 child of my own."
Again a question that we all understand immediately.
And look...
How nice.
5 red, 5 green.
1 point for you.
Feride, your question round is over.
Now it's Nouchka's turn to present her statements.
Hi.
"I live part time or full time with my partner."
A nice nuance that Nouchka has included here.
She wants to see a green sign from the LAT-ers as well.
(LAT: Couples who are "living apart together")
- Do you live together or alone? / - No, single.
Yes, a family.
- I live with someone. / - With someone.
- I live with my two daughters. / - Two daughters.
I see a slight doubt there on the right.
It becomes a 'No'.
And unfortunately, because of that...
6 red, 4 green.
No point.
Not a good start for Nouchka.
"I am older than 51 years."
What's your age?
You don't ask that to a lady...
You don't want to share that?
- No. / - Okay.
Well, Gerard didn't want to say anything about it.
Nouchka had to guess as a result.
And that guess turns out poorly.
6 red, 4 green.
No point.
Nouchka is seriously lagging behind and is getting in trouble.
This is a complete guess.
"I'm wearing a watch."
6 red, 4 green.
No point.
This round goes disastrously for Nouchka.
I never said this would be easy.
Players, I will announce the results of round 1.
Thomas, Anna-Maja, and Feride each have 3 points.
Nouchka, unfortunately, has 0 points.
A bit unfortunate. I think I had a lot of information,
but often not quite precise enough.
We will now start round 2.
In this round, you will present 3 statements to the guests.
For every valid statement, you will earn 2 points.
You will get 15 minutes to gain more information.
Good luck.
Jeez.
Oh, so 15 minutes?
15 minutes?
Hello, welcome.
15 minutes is insane!
And I'm behind already.
When I heard that we had 15 minutes to gather information
from ten guests, I thought: "I'll never manage."
- Do you have pets? / - No.
- Are you employed? / - Yes.
Have you been in love?
Yes.
- Have you been in love? / - Yes.
Do you have a dog? Do you have this? Are you in love? Been in love?
For real, why do I ask that? Everyone has been in love.
Had more than one relationship in your life?
Yes.
- Had more than one relationship in your life? / - Yes.
Great.
- I'm going to the next one, guys. / - Thank you.
Hello. Piercings? Yes?
- What is your name again? / - René.
- René. And not Hetty? Or do you? Piercings? / - No.
Okay.
Hetty, do you sport?
Huh?
- Do you sport? / - No.
Can I ask one thing? Do you have piercings?
Yes.
No.
Shit.
"Shit."
It's not going well, no.
I keep gathering information and then I end up at 6 or 4 every time.
Then it's all been for nothing and I can start over.
You don't have children, I believe, right?
No.
- No children? / - None of my own.
A question in-between: Do you have children?
- Yes. / - Okay.
Nice, nice, Leo.
Thank you.
Thank god.
I will do it unlike before.
Since I have much more information.
I'll quickly do one more explicit round...
- You had a foster child, you said? / - Yes.
Yes. You have children?
Yes.
- And you, do you have children? No, right? / - No.
That's right.
And... that's right.
A few more quick questions.
- Um... what about children, do you have children? / - No.
Do you have children? See, I didn't have that one yet.
It is so much easier now to get information,
because now you know what you're looking for. Now you can start matching.
That's very nice.
Do you sing?
- No. / - No.
Yeah, I heard from a lot of people that they sing.
So I thought: "That's a nice one."
But I don't have that information from everyone.
- Hi. / - Hey.
I'm back again.
I have a few more questions on my mind.
And I also have specific questions from the previous round
that I wasn't sure about, so I'm checking those now.
- Do you sing? / - Yes.
Yes! See...
You don't sing, you do sing, you sing as well.
- Okay, I know enough. Thank you! / - Okay.
You only have 5 more minutes.
Have you been in love?
Yes.
Have you been in love?
Have you been in love? That won't work.
Um... do you love cooking?
Yes.
Do you love cooking?
- Do you love cooking? / - Yes.
That won't work either.
Okay, I will need more...
At some point I saw in my table: "Ten, ten, ten, ten."
And suddenly I saw: "Nine, nine, nine."
I thought: "Where is the rest of my information?"
It went completely wrong, and then I really got an error in front of the container.
I really got an error, I thought: "Something is going wrong. Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!"
It was really one big dilemma.
Is it okay for you to talk about your gender?
Thank you.
- Yes, sure. / - Okay. Would you identify as male or female?
Male.
- Okay. / - Yes.
Pity.
I'm just very short on time.
And I just have to find answers.
But you do wear a skirt sometimes.
- Do you wear a skirt sometimes? / - Yes.
- "I do wear a skirt sometimes." / - Yes.
A dress as well?
- No. I only have this and a kind of skirt. / - A skirt, a skirt.
- But I actually... / - No, but the answer is yes?
- "I wear a skirt sometimes." / - Yes.
Time is up.
Did the players manage to gather enough information
to successfully present 3 new statements to the guests?
And earn 6 valuable points that way?
Players, you now have 10 more minutes to prepare your statements.
Do your best.
If I can piece it together well, I can get to 3.
Then I really have to do my best.
I am very curious. I was shocked that Nouchka had 0.
The rest have 3. So it can still go any way.
It can go any way.
But which of the players will distinguish themselves
from their competition in the second round?
I keep having these kind of questions that don't end up on 5-5.
So it's either 6, 4, 3, cross or good, or True or False.
Really, with every question. I only have it right with one.
Or I should go back-
I need to get a statement from my previous information.
Because this literally gets me nowhere.
Nouchka is under pressure.
She has managed to stay in The Genius for seven episodes already.
But if she wants to avoid the dangerous Death Match today,
she'll have to score, score, and score again soon.
The ones I have, I'm quite sure about.
But that is not enough of course.
Anna-Maja would gladly explain whether she's confident,
but sadly, not today.
I don't have time now!
Thomas, come to the Gamezone.
You may start presenting your 3 statements.
Pay attention, every statement can get you 2 points now.
Because of that, Nouchka could catch up very quickly.
This is so nice. This one is so simple.
I'm willing to bet that no one thought of this.
"My name is: Leo, Ed, Walter, Tasmara or Lika."
Yeah, it's good, Thomas, your strategy.
And so is the result, I believe.
5 red, 5 green. 2 points for you.
Thank you.
Will this strategy get a follow-up in Thomas' next statements?
"I have no children or I'm called Hetty."
4 red, 6 green.
No point.
Thank you, Thomas.
A miscalculation by Thomas?
- You had a foster child, you said? / - Yes.
And Thomas counted that one.
You may write down your last statement.
"I currently don't have a pet anymore...
and do not wear overalls."
Ah, see, the combination questions are brought into play again.
Pay attention, even if you don't have pets as a guest...
you don't count as a 'Yes' if you're wearing overalls.
Let's watch back, did Thomas calculate well? Count along.
- Do you have pets? / - No.
1.
- Not now. / - 2.
- I had them. / - 3.
- No, not anymore. / - 4.
You didn't have pets either?
- No. / - 5.
- No pets. / - 6.
Ouch...
That makes 6, Thomas.
And they don't wear overalls, so it's green six times.
4 red, 6 green. No point.
Okay.
Only one good statement.
Is Thomas still in contention for victory?
It's still possible, but with his score of 5 points,
he could also still lose the Main Match
if it ends like this after the current round.
It is Anna-Maja's turn to present her statements.
I felt very unsure.
In your mind, you know it's correct, but still...
there's always the fear that someone goes against your expectations.
"I do not sing or I am a streamer."
- Do you sing? / - No.
- Do you sing? / - Yes.
You don't sing, you do sing, you sing as well.
5 red, 5 green.
2 points.
"I am wearing white clothing or I have blue hair."
I see a white pair of pants and a white shirt on the right.
Then someone with white underwear foils Anna-Maja's plans.
4 red, 6 green.
No point.
Unfortunate.
That's bad, but I had to make something up on the spot
and it just didn't work out, which is a shame.
Truly a shame. Anna-Maja is now tied with Thomas.
She can take the lead with her last statement,
or scoot over next to Thomas in the danger zone.
"I do not do sports."
Look.
5 red, 5 green.
2 points.
That'll be a relief for Anna-Maja.
She leaves Thomas behind, and takes the lead with 7 points.
Is Feride ready to go?
She needs two good statements to tie with Anna-Maja
and stay out of the danger zone.
I was going to ask 50 plus.
But then I spotted Firos and thought, "He's older than 60 for sure."
Then it barely wouldn't have worked. It would've been 6-4 in my head.
Then I thought I'd just do 60.
"I am 60 years or older."
Shit.
Almost everyone turned out to be under 60.
So don't ask me about your age,
because you probably won't get a compliment.
8 red, 2 green. No point.
"I have an addiction."
No coffee, chocolate, or cigarettes?
Oh, shoot.
What a shame... in this case.
8 red, 2 green. No point.
"I currently do a sport."
5 green, 5 red.
2 points.
Not my lucky day, but it's okay.
Thank you.
With the last statement, Feride managed to tie with Thomas.
But both of them can be overtaken by Nouchka
if she manages to score 6 points with 3 statements.
"I have children."
5 red, 5 green.
2 points.
About time.
Nouchka is back in the game.
"I have a tattoo."
And we already know...
5 red, 5 green.
That's correct.
2 points for Nouchka.
Nouchka has 4 points.
If her last statement is correct as well,
she will pass Thomas and Feride.
Go ahead.
"I wear a skirt sometimes."
From the 4 women, plus Gerard the drag queen,
Nouchka unravelled the following information.
Do you wear a skirt sometimes?
Yes.
- "I do wear a skirt sometimes." / - Yes.
This is looking good.
All 4 of the women are holding up the green sign.
But...
what's happening on the right with the young lady?
She put green and turned it around!
I asked the drag queen about the skirt on purpose,
because I knew there were 5 men and 5 women.
I didn't expect any of the men to occasionally wear a skirt.
But apparently one of the women never wears a skirt either.
Well then. You really couldn't have seen that one coming.
She almost managed.
6 red, 4 green. No point.
And thus, The Great Equalizer comes to an end.
Players, the winner of The Great Equalizer is
Anna-Maja with 7 points.
Oh my god.
She gets a Ring of Life and 5 G-Coins.
Oh my god.
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
I was extremely happy. I did not see it coming.
I really thought that Thomas got 3 right in the second round, so...
So nice. I'm heading straight to the finals!
Thomas and Feride are both second place and receive 2 G-Coins.
Oh, wow.
Nouchka, you lost, and will be heading to the Death Match.
Yeah, it didn't come as a surprise to me anymore.
- No. / - I understand.
Nouchka, who do you challenge to the Death Match?
Well?
Yeah...
Both of you are going up by 2 coins.
Yes.
I'm going for Thomas.
- Okay. Fair. Fine. / - Right? It's time for us to... yeah.
Okay, fine.
Oh, no...
Yes.
I think it was bound to happen.
I started the game today with the least amount of G-Coins.
So I'm the logical opponent today.
I am bummed though.
- In any case, we're heading to the finals. / - Yes.
The first two finalists are known.
We can congratulate Feride and Anna-Maja.
But who will be the third player heading to the finals?
Nouchka is a good and strong player.
I'm not looking forward to battling her.
It all depends on the game we'll have to play today.
Indeed.
There it is again.
I've gotten this far, so now I want to make it to the finals.
Today's Death Match is... 'Black & White'.
Both players receive nine tiles numbered from 0 to 8.
The nine tiles are divided into the colours black and white.
0 and the even numbers 2, 4, 6, and 8 are written on the black tiles.
The odd numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 are written on the white tiles.
For nine rounds, the players will place one of their numbers per round.
The player with the highest number wins the round.
In the case of a tie, the score does not change.
The player who starts chooses a tile...
and places it facedown in front of the Dealer.
Afterwards, the opponent does the same.
Only the Dealer knows what the numbers are.
Winning a round grants 1 point.
Throughout the entire match, you will never see the tiles, and thus the numbers
that the opponent has placed.
By paying close attention to the colours of the placed tiles
and remembering which numbers you played yourself,
you can infer which numbers your opponent has left.
The player with the most points after nine rounds...
wins the game and heads to the finals.
The loser gets eliminated today.
Alright.
- Exciting. / - Yes.
This is such a strategic game where you have to remember a tonne,
while luck also plays a role.
I am not looking forward to this.
Thomas, you may start shuffling.
If you could turn around, please.
Thomas and Nouchka may move their tiles
so they are no longer predictably ordered from 0 to 8.
Nouchka, you may begin.
She can make the first move. Because she has more G-Coins.
Wow.
So, Nouchka's choice to challenge Thomas
has the advantage that she can make the crucial opening move.
My tactic was to start low.
Uh... so I can end strong.
Point for Thomas. 1-0 for Thomas.
This is perfect.
Apparently, she also has the strategy of getting rid of the lower ones first.
He knows that the 1 has been played.
Oh, wow.
Point for Nouchka.
It's 1-1.
Before the game, I closed my eyes for a moment
to visualise what's going to happen.
She's doing the exact same thing.
I can see that Thomas is counting along.
That he knows what I'm doing.
Yes.
Yes, wow. He totally has her number.
Yes.
Strategy pays off.
Point for Thomas.
2-1 for Thomas.
I think I have a lot of knowledge now.
I'm going to remember what she plays. I keep counting.
And take the initiative.
No problem, Nouchka.
You have three tiles that surpass this, the 6, 7, and 8.
The 6 would be quite nice right now.
Point for Nouchka. The score is 2-2.
Nouchka evens it out.
And so, the tension persists.
What the fuck?
Of course he doesn't know it's the 2. Maybe it's the 8,
so now he might play a high one, because he hasn't played the 7 yet.
You see.
Yes.
Point for Thomas.
The score is 3-2 for Thomas.
Now I need to stay focused, I shouldn't screw it up now.
Now you have to play the 3.
Ah, such a waste of the 6.
Point for Thomas.
The score is 4-2 for Thomas.
Okay, I've played my 0, 1, and 2. I'm in the lead.
I have to maintain my poker face. Otherwise she'll see something.
She can still score a point with the 8, it'll be 4-3 then.
- With a draw it's still possible. 3-3. / - Yes.
It's 4-2 now. I have to play that 8.
To recover a bit at least.
Oh, Nouchka. Your 4 would've been enough here.
Point for Nouchka.
4-3 for Thomas.
Coming to an end.
Nouchka's 8 would've been golden here.
But she sadly wasted it.
Oh my god. It's over now.
He played it very well.
It is 5-3.
You have won this Death Match.
I saw it coming.
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
I'm in the finals! How cool is that?
- Well played. / - What's this one here?
- You may turn the tiles around. / - The 7.
Yeah, a 4.
And this was the...
I played it wrong. My moves were too sporadic,
so I had no information on you.
- Yes. Come here. / - Good job.
Congratulations, Thomas.
- Thank you. / - Very well played.
- You as well. / - Well played.
What a shame, you could've evened it up.
I participated for seven episodes.
A wide variety of games went past
where you have to use your skills in new ways each time.
And, uh, I'm happy that I made it this far,
and I'm looking forward to the finals.
The three remaining players are amazing.
We say goodbye to Nouchka.
Thomas managed to save himself today
and along with Feride and Anna-Maja,
will be heading to the finals of The Genius.
I've seen a lot from you guys.
But in whom does the absolute winner reside?
Who will have the winning strategy ready next week,
to crown themselves the absolute Genius after a gruelling ride?
Next week the Main Match, 'Final Destination',
Next week
on The Genius
will decide which two players will head to the decisive Final Match.
Players, you may now enter your choice.
Thomas...
are you giving him signals about our moves?

White may advance two steps.
Oh my god.
- I'm going crazy. / - Why?
