De Slimste Mens ter Wereld

Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

Eight participants undertake this physical and mental ordeal towards the top of the highest mountain in Africa and one of the seven summits. But they are not alone: ​​they are guided by Sofie Lenaerts - herself an experienced mountain climber and the first woman from the Benelux to climb the seven summits - and wildlife cameraman Pim Niesten. Sofie, as an expert by experience, prepares the eight as best as possible for everything involved in mountain climbing, while Pim, as a nature photographer and expert, prepares the participants for the special arena of the mountains and any risks this entails.
