S4 · E1: Episode 1

Next up is the knowledge challenge. Who knows the most? Joshlyn proved to be the sharpest, followed by Sigourney. Sem is quite pleased that he didn’t earn any points, but also didn’t lose any. Not everyone in his alliance, however, shares that sentiment. Lisanne receives a visit from her mother, sister, two friends, and her loyal four legged companion. The conversation keeps circling back to one person: Sem what exactly is going on with him? The question of who has a crush on whom remains a hot topic. Is it Sem, Dylan, and Marjolein or perhaps Lisanne? This becomes the subject of discussion in the sauna, where the atmosphere at least for this cycle is reminiscent of the romantic intrigues found on "The Love Boat".

The messages received by the 'Snakes' compared to those of the other alliance are exceptionally abundant and truly top tier. The question "Who is the ultimate ally?" appears on the big screen. Each alliance is asked to nominate one of its own members for this title. Without knowing the exact implications, a choice must be made from four candidates. Subsequently, an exchange of allies takes place: Patrick swaps with Younes, Joshlyn swaps with Demi, and Sigourney swaps with Dylan. Sem seems to share a special connection with every woman. Duel challenge: Vultures (Anna Mae) versus Sharks (Sayf) in the music category, worth 100 points. We won't see the outcome until tomorrow.

And now, on to the challenging duel between the Vultures and the Sharks a duel in which the clueless party loses once again. Sem is apparently sending the wrong signals to some of the girls, though Sem claims that’s not the case. The Vultures have once again received inside information. In the upcoming challenge, you must "portray characters" a term that allows for a broad interpretation. Sem is walking around dressed as a sexy girl, wearing one of the girls' tops pulled down low. This acting out and guessing game serves as a challenge to earn points. The Vultures are fully aware of their objective; the person who excels at this will earn 250 points. Meanwhile, the Foxes will, for the first time, sabotage one of the alliances an action that immediately costs them 50 points.

Moving on to the earning challenge but who is being excluded? That would be the Vultures; they have to sit and watch, and they also receive a penalty of -50 points. And who came out on top? The Sharks and, lo and behold, the Sharks are now out of the negative in the rankings. Sem clearly struggles with handling criticism, choosing to withdraw instead. His allies find this behavior childish, and it leaves them quite surprised. Sem receives advice from his friends regarding relationships and flirting, specifically concerning his interactions with Lisanne. The Vultures are once again granted inside information, and the earning challenge centers on balance. Since the course doesn't fit inside the Media Room, the other alliances are required to stay in their own rooms for half an hour so the Vultures can practice. The earning challenge demands both cooperation and balance.

As for the balancing challenge: who will perform best? There are also an additional 100 points to be earned for correctly predicting the final ranking. The Sharks receive -50 points, while the Snakes, Foxes, and Vultures get 250 points plus those 100 points for a correct prediction. This represents a significant comeback in the standings, moving them from third to second place. Sem needs to be careful not to share all the information he gained from his prior knowledge neither before nor after the game has been played. In the evening, the dating show takes place, featuring none other than Sem and Marjolein. The question remains: who will they end up going on a date with?
