Welcome to The Genius.
A game that will challenge every single brain cell.
10 players attempted the challenge that pulled them into The Creator's domain.
In the past weeks, his mind games appeared to be too difficult for Jasper, Nizar, Rick, and Roxanne.
6 players remain.
In the previous episode, the players showed their talents in a heated Main Match.
The Main Match is 'Hidden Formula'.
Thriller writer Thomas was the best at cracking the formula,
and gave Fabian the idea ahead of time that they'd share their chances equally.
However... sharing?
I have the higher cards.
We didn't even really make a deal.
And yeah, how are these three going to share their Ring of Immortality?
This small valuable object was hidden in a casket,
somewhere deep inside the domain of The Creator.
Which one of these three winners of previous episodes
will crack the code of the casket?
The Death Match was made for chess master Anna-Maja.
She kicked Roxanne out of The Genius without mercy.
What will happen today? Who will get tangled up,
and who will maintain in the strategic web of
The Genius.
So, we're past the halfway point.
Yeah, there's really only a few rounds left.
Do you notice it's being played differently?
I think everyone will play a bit more individually now.
Yeah, right.
But I think you will still need each other.
Yeah, you can't really play on your own.
No.
But I do think it's more heated now.
Yeah, I think so too.
I do feel like everyone will also play very individually; for themselves now.
Criminal defense lawyer
I don't know yet whether I'll play for the team or for myself.
It really depends on the game.
So, Roxanne went home.
- Damn. / - Yeah.
I'm really going to miss Roxanne, she really was my buddy.
- Yeah. / - A mood maker.
Players, the people around you have estimated your value.
Are you useful to them?
When will this end for you? Today?
Or will you be the one with the last laugh?
Don't be fooled, keep a cool head.
We're starting with the Main Match,
the 'Diamond Dilemma'.
In this game, you win together as a team
by using many diamonds.
But to become the individual winner,
you need to keep the most diamonds.
A dilemma.
Soon, 3 players will be selected for the blue team,
and 3 for the red team.
The game consists of 5 rounds,
and for each round a team wins, they score 1 point.
Each round, you will get 15 minutes to discuss.
Each player has a personal locker with 10 diamonds inside.
All players will enter the storage room once per round.
You will put a number of diamonds from your personal locker in the pot.
The team that put the most diamonds in the pot wins the round.
In the winning team, each player will get 2 G-Coins per diamond they have left.
The player in the winning team with the most diamonds left
is the individual winner.
He or she will receive 2 Rings of Life
and thus will avoid the Death Match.
The player in the losing team with the least diamonds left
will become the elimination candidate, and will go to the Death Match.
So, you will be faced with a huge dilemma, players.
So you really have to put in the effort for your team, or you'll be the losing team regardless.
There's a contradiction,
because you have to play as many as possible to win as a team, but if you want to win yourself, you shouldn't.
Correct.
Pay attention, I will compose the teams as follows:
The red team consists of Thomas,
Nelke,
and Feride.
The blue team is Nouchka,
Fabian,
and Anna-Maja.
Pay attention, teams. You can peek into someone else's locker,
this will cost you 3 G-Coins.
Yeah, G-Coins... How many do they actually have?
Thomas has the most.
Quite the luxury to have 6 available if you need to negotiate.
Feride will have to make it work with her charisma.
You guys have a coin advantage, because you have 11 coins combined.
But we have Fabian.
- What's that supposed to mean? / - What are you trying to say?
Explain it, explain yourself.
He doesn't easily throw his coins around, I think.
Everybody plays the whole game differently.
Olympic boxer
One prioritises staying in the game,
and another says they want to gather coins, no matter the cost.
That's not my thing.
I'm really annoyed because you're constantly making someone else look bad
2:30 hours later
while you are the rat in the game.
And now you are pretending like Thomas is playing dirty all the time,
but it's you. Just cut it out.
Players, we are starting.
- Good luck. / - Good luck. / - You too.
Pay attention, this is how you play Diamond Dilemma:
The players are divided into a red and a blue team,
and receive 10 diamonds each.
The team that uses the most diamonds wins the round.
The team that wins the most rounds, wins the game.
The player in the winning team with the most diamonds left
will be the individual winner of the game.
The player in the losing team with the least diamonds left,
will be the loser of Diamond Dilemma.
Okay, so this is kind of
- exciting and pretty cool, I think. / - Yeah.
- We have a total of 30 diamonds that we can use. / - Yeah.
So on average, across 5 rounds, it's 6 per round.
That's if you would use an average across 5 rounds.
I think you need to get a 2-0 lead as fast as possible.
- Yeah. / - If you play aggressively in the beginning...
Yeah, that's what I- I wanted to suggest that we at least try to play well
in the first 3 rounds, or actually in the first 2 rounds.
So that we are indeed ahead with 2-0.
Then they won't find out how many we used, and then we use 0.
Yes, that's something you still need to hear:
After every round, the amount of diamonds that were used by the losing team will be revealed.
The amount of diamonds used by the winning team remains a secret.
The only thing I can...
Well, I can think of multiple things,
but I think it's important to gain the lead.
Yeah, so I was thinking: "What would be a deciding factor to win now?"
How many will be enough? You don't know.
No, you don't know.
You could also say, "We're only going to gather information with the first one,
so we won't use any at all."
We could also go for a loss, we'll just take the loss.
But what kind of information will that give you then?
Only the losing team gets revealed. We won't see it.
- Oh no, shit. / - You'll hear that we used 0.
That's useless to us.
But it's kind of funny what you said...
Yeah, but then you need to use an average amount. This is kind of like counting cards.
Look, if you- so 6 is the average, per round.
If you use 4, and you... uh, uh, lose,
then you'll know they used more.
I think that's a strategy.
So you won't go all-in in 3 rounds.
No.
I think, um... they will use a lot.
And, uh, I thought: "It's a pretty good, uh, uh, tactic to not do that in the beginning."
Comedian
Use a small amount,
because I think you need to have a lot of diamonds near the end of match.
What if we use 9 in the first round...
You'll have an aggressive start, and that's good.
Or 10?
You're saying, "10 rather than 9." One could argue...
- You're using up a third of your diamonds immediately, / - Yeah.
and maybe you'll still have 4 rounds after that.
For now, my tactic is: Don't use any in the first round.
They won't expect us to go with 0.
No.
- So we'll have that advantage. - Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.
But how many are we using now?
3 each?
Mmhmm. I'm okay with that.
3.
The strategy for the first round becomes clear.
Team Red seems to play aggressively, by using a lot in the first round.
Team Blue wants to use as few as possible to gain a lead in diamonds.
However, 0 is pretty risky according to Anna-Maja.
Can't we use a little bit?
It really depends on how they'll play.
Will they use 1? Will they use 6?
Yeah.
- If they would use 2, for example... / - Yeah, exactly.
Then they will have 28 left.
- So we're using 3 in the first round? / - Yes.
One person will use 3?
- Yes. / - Okay.
I want to be the one.
We could also do 2. 2 or 3?
- 3. / - Yeah? Okay.
Then they'll think we used 1 per person.
Time is up.
Come to the Control Room and take turns using your diamonds.
Nouchka, you may enter.
The team doesn't have to worry, I kept my promise.
Feride.
What's Feride going to do?
Now that she's gone for a bit, Fabian makes a surprising remark.
He wants to conspire against Feride.
- Feride has the fewest G-Coins. / - Yes.
- So I think she's desperate to exchange diamonds. / - Yes.
And if you guys don't make any agreements about exchanging, you could naturally, kind of... screw her over.
The knives are being sharpened in The Genius.
As it turns out, Fabian's cold-hearted move is born from a fear of Feride.
I think Feride took it very personally
that in day 2 or 3...
she was in an alliance with Thomas...
and then with my alliance we simply just decided:
"We're going against Thomas' alliance."
And Thomas had the ring, so I had to pick her.
Well, Fabian didn't have to choose anything, but was happy to interfere
in the choice Rick had to make for the Death Match.
Rick, who do you challenge for the Death Match?
Uh... we would...
like to offer coins, if you pick Feride.
Oh...?
And who is "we"? Who is "we"? You want coins?
I think Fabian is very cunning.
So I think the next person I would want out of the game is Fabian.
Yeah, she took that very personally, I think.
So, Fabian wants to screw over Feride.
Thomas is not directly opposed to that.
How would we do that in a way that's possible, what you're saying?
Well, we would need to know if there's any loyalty towards her, or not.
No.
I think that's a dangerous question.
But it is an interesting question.
- Yes. / - Yes.
Oh! Uh, ice cream, pizza. Yeah, pizza.
Well, sometimes that too.
Fabian, you may enter.
Yes.
Screw over Feride? Yeah, that's what Fabian is going for.
But maybe he's the one who should be worried.
Thriller writer Thomas immediately comes up with a plot twist.
Fabian is a very tactical player.
And I think we should try to disrupt the group...
Thriller writer
by confusing Fabian.
Now that Fabian is gone, do you have any loyalty towards him?
Do you have an offer then?
Well, then I first need to know if you have any loyalty towards Fabian.
He is a very individualistic player.
Yes, but it's also about believing in your team.
Absolutely.
- If you believe in that, it wouldn't matter... / - Yeah.
what you guys would offer.
That's true. Yeah.
For now, Fabian's teammates are loyal to him.
And Fabian? How loyal is he?
My team doesn't have to worry, I've kept my promises.
Is Fabian on thin ice?
His proposal to stab Feride in the back
has got the ball rolling from Thomas towards Nouchka and Anna-Maja.
Then they would make sure they are the winning team,
and we would... screw him over so he gets last place.
- That is what they want. / - Yes.
Yeah.
But anyway, then he's last and has to play the elimination round against someone.
- One of us? / - And who does he choose then?
No, not against one of us. He's free to choose.
- But then he chooses one of us. - Because we screwed him over?
At a certain point, my dilemma during this game was mostly:
Can you trust each other? For example, you see that Fabian...
when I went inside and came back...
I saw that he had spoken with the opponents.
And then you're very curious about what's going on over there...
and whether you're not getting stabbed in the back yourself.
The first round has been played.
I will reveal the results.
The Blue Team loses the first round with 3 used diamonds.
Unfortunate.
Team Red scores 1 point.
Team Blue doesn't get disorientated from this first loss.
We're convinced that this is the best strategy.
Wait a bit, and see how it goes.
Chess master
And, assess a little what the enemy is doing.
The 15 minutes of the second round begin now.
Should I try to uncover something?
- You guys discuss tactics for a bit then? / - Yeah, we'll...
I'm really only going to fuck with them.
- Okay. / - Okay.
So it's better if I go as fast as possible.
Okay, okay. I'm going to think for a bit.
I have a feeling it will be trickier than he hopes.
Um... before we discuss the strategy we're going to use...
Um... Fabian... wants to pull us apart.
- Yes. / - He said: "You guys can throw Feride under the bus."
Yes.
By playing foul basically.
We're not going to do that. We made an agreement with each other, we're not doing it.
But is it worth something, to make them think
that we actually are going to do that?
The best way to create error with Fabian...
is to pretend like you're going to give him something...
and to just not do it.
I want to talk with Thomas and Nelke for a moment.
I'll be quick.
- Over there. / - Shall we do it?
- Okay. / - We'll be right back.
Alright.
I think it's really interesting to just listen
and see if we can do something with that information.
Because I believe there is definitely some tension in that team.
What did you want to say?
I think I already know what you want to talk about.
You want us... we do have some interest...
Yes, but?
But we're not sure yet what's in it for us.
- What do we gain? / - What do you suggest?
If we want Feride out...
then you guys would have to lose.
- We're willing to offer quite a lot. / - How will this benefit us?
If you go discuss this with your team, we're willing...
- Go discuss what you're willing to offer. / - Okay.
- But we have to do it quick then. - Then we discuss this further...
the moment that Feride is in the diamond room.
Because then there's five of us.
- Yes. / - Is that alright?
- Yes, yes. Okay. / - Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, he's not looking back anymore.
Okay, that felt very fake.
He really wants you out. He wants us to play against you.
We have to lose for that. And they would spare us for that.
Yeah, what a load of nonsense.
I think Fabian is a rat. And rats are not to be trusted.
We just have to go and win the second round.
The battle for the second round has begun.
Yeah, so we only know that they used more than 3, not how much.
- Or both used a portion. / - What if they only used 4?
- In that case, they have 26 left. - They played it very clever then.
They just have to win two more times. They'll use 13 two times.
Yes.
They played that very well then.
- But it's also possible they went all in. - So we have to look now, we have to look now.
Team Blue is planning to use 3 G-Coins this round...
in order to look inside a locker of the Red Team.
I actually wanted to propose something,
- because they have 9 left, per person. / - Yes.
They can't win in three rounds anymore.
- No. / - You know?
- So they won't use their points in one go, in the second round. / - No.
- So maybe, at most, they'll use 3-3-3 next round, in order to win. - At most, but I don't think they will.
So I was thinking 3-3-4 for the second round.
Yes.
I'm okay with 3-3-4.
Okay.
Yeah, we have to hurry, I think.
- They've used at least 3 coins so far. / - At least 4.
- 4, sorry. At least 4. / - Yeah.
So we know that.
So they still have...
- At least 26. / - At least 26.
Yeah, but t-then, then we can win those three.
Team Blue has 27 diamonds left and Team Read has 21.
Of course blue can still win.
The game is a best of 5, and we've only played one round.
And Team Blue has the advantage with their diamonds.
Anything can still happen.
It's time to bring out your diamonds again.
Dealer Farley opens his doors once again.
Nelke, you may enter.
Fabian, you may enter.
Will the Blue Team stay on the same line?
According to Feride, they better watch their backs over there.
I imagine it's difficult to be in this game with Fabian.
I wouldn't trust that guy for one second. Really.
He really is an individualistic player, I think.
- He might be inclined to... - Well, he just screws you over right under your nose.
I would never trust him.
Look, in this game it's important to...
win as a team, but also as an individual.
Yes.
And he is the kind of guy who puts himself before the team.
He's also trying to create something between us, by coming to us.
And he isn't even subtle about it.
Initially, I would never want to betray my own team.
The only thing is, that could be tough if you start to question Fabian's integrity.
So at a certain point, you might be open to cooperation.
If we got an offer, we might be able to think about it.
What kind of offer would you like?
Yeah, no, I don't know.
- There's a reason why you brought it up. - You're already behind.
So if you said you'd lose on purpose...
then we won't take you to the elimination round,
and we'll pick Fabian for the elimination round.
We want to pick him for the elimination round anyway.
Then the risk is that he will... Yeah, who is he going to choose?
Of course he'll choose me. He has it out for me.
What's in it for you? If he would choose you...
- Maybe I'll have the ring. - Then our winner should give you the ring.
- Oh, you'll have two rings? / - Yes.
Then he'll still choose us. Then he'll still choose us.
Yes, or Nelke.
Then I will be screwed. Yeah, nice! Good plan!
- Not necessarily. / - Neat plan. / - Not necessarily,
since it's also possible that we lose...
but because of the score, he'll know that we didn't keep our promise.
Then he'll start to hate us.
Team Red sows doubt about Fabian...
who is very faithfully keeping to his promise.
He uses 1 blue diamond.
Feride, you may enter.
Feride should use 3 diamonds if she keeps her promise.
Outside, Fabian activates the agreement of Team Blue.
Feride's locker has to be peeked at.
Whoever goes now, they will peek.
So imagine, if she's missing a lot of coins, we won't use any.
We'll lose immediately. We'll really have an enormous surplus.
Anna-Maja! You may enter.
I'm up.
- Yes, so you will look. / - Yes, okay.
Clear.
I would like to peek.
Who would you like to peek at?
Feride.
Feride?
Thank you.
Chess master Anna-Maja has begun to calculate.
If the Blue Team lets this round go,
they hope they can use their hoarded diamonds
to win the last three rounds.
I peeked at Feride.
Feride has 4 left.
So I assume that they used 6.
And then it's better that we use none.
- So there were 4 left? / - There were 4 left.
Then they used many. Okay.
- So this round we just use... / - Nothing.
- Use nothing. / - No, nothing at all.
Nouchka.
Players, I will now announce the results of the second round.
The Blue Team loses this round with 1 used diamond.
Yes!
The score is 2-0 for Team Red.
Yes. This is exactly what we wanted. We wanted to be ahead 2-0.
The moment you're ahead 2-0, the initiative really lies with the other team.
They do have a lot of coins left.
Use 0 twice.
- Use 0 twice. / - Use 0 twice.
- And then at the end we use all of them? - That last round, we use all of them.
No, this might get dangerous.
I think so too, because they have 26.
They have 26 left, we have 11 left.
Goddamn.
- Maybe we should just use all of them. / - Use all of them.
The only the problem is, if they use 12...
We'll have lost.
And resoundingly.
How?
Then we'll have no coins left for the last two rounds.
That's the risk we're taking.
Okay, uh...
I think they have 14 left.
So we don't need to use more than 12. I think.
Why would they need to keep some?
Because they- they can't win the other rounds otherwise.
- But they only need to win one more round. - They can go all-in now.
- And then they win. / - Yes, of course.
They can go all-in.
They can do all of them at once.
Yes. So we need to use 14 in any case.
- Hmm? / - So we need to use at least 14.
Players, unfortunately, time is up.
The battle for the third round is on.
If the Blue Team gives this one away, they have lost.
It'll be a cool win.
I hope.
And if not...
Well, we'd rather not resort to that, Feride.
Fabian makes a last attempt to turn the Red Team against her.
Feride has less than you guys now, right?
Yeah, then surely we could work together. We'll earn a lot.
Fabian, you understand you're going to lose and you try to turn people against me now.
Is that what you're doing?
Are we- are we allowed to talk to each other?
Yes, but you have been talking to them all the time already,
- and you know very well what you're doing. / - It's fine, but can we...
You know you're going to lose. You're trying to save your own ass...
by turning them against me.
That's fine, but are we allowed to talk to each other?
As long as it's not at your expense. That is in no one's interest.
Okay.
Very dirty. Fabian plays it very dirty.
His entire main game is: We will all conspire against Feride.
Yeah, of course I'm not going to trust Fabian then.
Anna-Maja.
The battle is getting tougher and the diamonds are being weighed.
What are they worth for your team, Anna-Maja,
and how far will they get you?
Her Blue Team is on the edge of the abyss.
Fabian.
And the player of the losing team
that ends up with the least diamonds
will nominate themselves as a Death Match candidate.
Nelke.
Thomas.
All-in.
I think we'll get to 3-0 with this.
Team Red has used 11 diamonds and has 0 left.
Team Blue has used 8 so far this round.
Together they have plenty diamonds to top that 11.
Nouchka.
Everything is now in Nouchka's hands.
If she uses more than 3, they win the round.
And they will be the only team left with diamonds
to use in the upcoming rounds.
They can win the Diamond Dilemma.
I will now announce the results of round 3.
Oh, this is really...
Ooh, now it's tense.
- Really a very big risk. / - It's all or nothing.
The Blue Team loses with 9 used diamonds.
With that, the Red Team wins this game.
- Yes. / - Woohoo!
- 9! We used 10. / - We used 10.
Huh? How is this possible?
The Blue Team has let it slip away.
The stake of 14 diamonds they were planning on
ended up in the trashcan.
Fabian came up with another idea at the last moment.
Shall we do 9 after all?
I don't think it matters.
- I'm okay with 8 as well. - I know they're bluffing. I feel like they're bluffing.
9.
Because the Red Team was bluffing, according to Fabian.
So that's how it happened.
And yeah, that's how you lose the game.
That was a short game.
I even said: "We should do 14." Then I was right, and then we would've won.
We changed it twice. That was very last minute.
It wasn't very smart, and because of that, things went wrong.
Players...
there are no diamonds left among the winning Red Team.
Thomas is the winner of this game
based on his amount of G-Coins.
With that, he wins...
2 Rings of Life.
Congratulations, Thomas.
Fabian,
you had the fewest diamonds left in the losing team.
And with that, you are the first player in the Death Match. Unfortunate.
Thomas, who will you give the Ring of Life to,
which means immunity for the Death Match?
Well, bring it on.
Nelke or Feride.
Who is worth the most to you, Thomas?
I don't completely trust anyone here.
Everyone will ultimately do what is best for themselves.
I give my ring away...
to you.
Will you get on your knees?
- Here you are. / - Oh, thank you, Thomas.
Thank you.
I married Thomas today.
The moment he gave me the Ring of Life, was really so romantic.
We are very much in love.
Feride gets passed over by Thomas.
Will the two arch-rivals Fabian and Feride battle each other?
If I have to go to the elimination round with Fabian...
then I'll probably win anyway, unless the coins would be decisive.
Because then I will have served myself up on a silver platter.
Players, pay attention.
The Ring of Immortality has been found...
and is now part of the game.
Yeah, how could we forget about that?
The Ring of Immortality.
Fabian, Anna-Maja, and Thomas
found it during the previous episode hidden in a casket.
For Thomas it was clear: That casket won't open by itself.
So, Thomas?
So we'll have to cooperate.
And then?
Then, Thomas won the Main Match of the previous episode, 'Hidden Formula'.
And of course he received a hint for the Ring of Immortality.
"There is a Ring of Immortality somewhere
that you can use once to avoid the Death Match
and gives you the right to send another player to the Death Match.
The code is 352."
I just have the entire code here.
So I don't need the others anymore.
Nice.
I have, uh... found a ring.
And that ring, I could give it away now, or I could keep it,
because it will give exemption to... someone.
And that's a tough choice for me...
because I think the game should be played fairly.
And we knew we would bet it all...
and end up on 0.
Right now, I choose to...
help my team of this episode with it.
But if you want to play fairly, I know what you're going to do,
but then I do want to say an agreement was made...
about the cooperation with the envelope
and about the Ring of Immortality, I believe.
I feel very betrayed, this isn't what we agreed on.
We agreed that the ring would be given to one of us three.
And he clearly violated this agreement.
- You probably don't remember that. - No, I most definitely do remember.
- That was for... / - You're basically Mark Rutte.
(The Dutch Prime Minister)
Please no.
That was before, um...
that...
Mark Rutte, yes.
You don't remember anymore?
- No active... No active memories. / - No, no.
I already suspected it, Thomas is screwing people over.
So I'm actually not that surprised.
Save yourself the effort.
- I'll just say... / - Mark Rutte.
I just want to make it clear that this puts me at a huge disadvantage.
I've already made it clear that I think that Thomas doesn't always play fair
like he says he does.
He also really likes using the word 'fair'.
Well yeah, the... yeah.
Dick move. He saved your ass so many times.
Seriously, you got the ring from him after just about every game.
And now you're saying he's not fair, because you're on the losing side.
That's just not true, he has always played fairly.
- I think that she... she might be thinking differently... - He doesn't even have to give it.
- He could've just pocketed it as well. / - Absolutely.
In my case, agreements take priority. I've always kept my word.
But I am a part of the agreement.
I'm really annoyed because you're constantly making someone else look bad while you are the rat in the game.
And now you are pretending like Thomas is playing dirty all the time,
but it's you. Just cut it out.
I don't always speak my mind, sometimes that's not the best thing to do...
but if there's something I have to say at that moment,
then I say it.
Yes, I...
I've decided to give it to Feride for now.
Thank you, Thomas. I appreciate it.
Fabian, who will be your opponent in the Death Match?
I had to choose between Anna-Maja and Nouchka.
And I thought it was pretty disgraceful
that Thomas violated another agreement, that's not how I do things.
So I thought: "I made that agreement with Anna-Maja.
So I can't just screw her over like that."
In my eyes, she was entitled to that Ring of Immortality.
I think it's very difficult, I don't know what to choose but I can't do anything other than...
choose you, I think.
Yes, a Death Match like this one will be exciting.
One on one and fully in the picture, we will see.
I hope it's a game I have affinity with.
The Death Match will decide who will be heading home.
The Death Match is 'On Track'.
In 'On Track'...
you take turns placing track tiles.
You must complete a route that departs from the train station
and also ends up back at the train station.
There will be two tiles
with incomplete tracks on both sides.
The two elimination candidates will take turns one by one
to lay down a total of 16 tiles
and complete a single route.
The 16 tiles have a straight track on the front,
while the back contains a curve.
Nouchka, as the challenged player, you may decide whether you will start,
or whether your opponent will start.
During your turn,
you may place 1 to 3 tiles,
and you have to choose one of the two sides.
One of the tiles you place
must touch a previously placed tile.
This can be on the top, bottom, left, or right
of a previously placed tile.
Tracks don't necessarily have to be connected.
Be aware of that.
If you put down more than one tile at a time,
they must be placed in a row.
It is not necessary to use all 16 tiles
to complete the route.
You will place tiles in turns,
and the player who completes the route wins.
But you can also win 'On Track' without completing the route.
If you judge that the route can no longer be completed with the remaining tiles,
you can declare that it is impossible.
If a player declares this,
the opponent must use the remaining tiles
to finish the route.
If you manage that,
you will be the winner of the game.
If not, the other player wins.
It's all hands on deck for Nouchka and Fabian.
Which one of these two will survive the Death Match?
They will receive some time and practice tiles
to come up with a plan before the game truly starts.
My tactic is...
to take initiative, that's my tactic.
I have to see how I can get a lead.
Because when I put something down, he can always check:
"Can I complete it like this?" He can just keep counting.
Fabian and Nouchka, come to the Gamezone.
The Death Match begins.
Nouchka is a strong woman.
And Fabian might not be able to use his rat skills in this game.
Until now, Fabian has kept winning by feeding off other players.
This time he has to manage alone for once.
And now that he is alone, we will see
what kind of 'Power Woman' will come out of Nouchka.
We're going to, uh... we're going to play.
Okay.
Nouchka.
- Yes? / - You may decide whether you want to start,
or whether you will let Fabian start.
I would like to start.
Yes?
Go ahead.
You're really hoping that he will lose, right?
Absolutely, I really hope Fabian loses.
I'll take a peek.
Just to be sure.
Alright.
A different one.
Fabian, your turn.
Yes.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...
13. And you need 9 for the connection.
It's an incredibly complicated game.
It looks very simple but there's a lot of layers to it.
The only thing you can do is take notes and draw everything out.
Even then, it can all fall apart if you lose focus.
I thought: "I'll just put down a track that is 16 tiles."
Oh, shit.
From the beginning, it was my idea to count cards.
I thought I could do that.
It's barely possible.
Nouchka, your turn.
Yes, one moment. This will take a while.
After Fabian's first move, there were still a lot of possibilities.
And now the counting game begins.
Then I put 3 on the outside.
The move he made afterwards was a crucial one.
Fabian, your turn.
But now it's Fabian's turn.
But what if... Okay, so- Oh, it's his turn.
- Then he can put down 3. / - Yes.
I think you can always win then,
based on what the opponent does.
If Fabian will do 3 now.
You can end this in one move.
Chess player Anna-Maja thinks ahead.
According to her, Fabian has to place 3 tiles.
What will he do?
Eventually she places 3 tiles.
Then there were only 8 left.
And then I knew I could still win.
I'll leave it at that.
Will Fabian win,
and will we have to say goodbye to Nouchka?
There are still 7 tiles left in the game.
Nouchka clutches her heart.
He puts down 1 tile,
and I can see it.
And I noticed that he realised as well.
If Nouchka plays 2, then you put 1 here...
- as Fabian. / - Yes.
- Then Nouchka places it here and he wins. / - Yes.
- Nouchka, it's your turn. / - Yes.
Nouchka places 3 tiles.
There are 4 tiles left in the game.
Fabian, it's your turn.
She sees a path to a possible victory.
After I placed 3...
we had two pairs of 2 left.
That's when I knew, if he places 1, I win.
Good move.
Impossible.
It doesn't work like that.
I'm going to think about it for a bit, but...
I think I know...
that this doesn't work.
- Yes. / - Is it impossible to finish the path now?
And has Nouchka won?
Because of Fabian's move, 5 tiles are needed to complete the rail.
And there's only 3 left.
When it was his turn,
it was possible to beat the game with the 4 remaining tiles.
The deciding moment will only happen during Nouchka's turn
because Fabian has to put down a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 tiles.
Nouchka is right.
The game has ended.
Nouchka, you have won.
Congratulations, Nouchka.
Well done.
Good job.
It really sucks that I lost.
Nouchka, I knew you could do it.
Thank you.
I think you have at least one fan.
- Yes, yes, yes. / - Congratulations.
Merci.
Oh, a fist bump after all? / - Still a fist bump.
I think that Fabian was genuinely one of the masterminds of this program...
and he was a really good player.
And on top of that, he's also really funny.
After a turbulent episode, the 6 players bid farewell to Fabian.
Look at you guys walking there.
Are you still confident?
I wonder what you'll put on the line next week to survive in...
The Genius.
Next week, we will be playing 'Take it or leave it'.
Next week
on The Genius
Next week
- Why do you think that? / - I know it.

Leave it.
It would benefit you if I win.
Then it should also benefit me if you win.
