“This was a titanic battle and it couldn’t have gone better.” Erik Van Looy beamed after the thrilling finale of ‘The smartest person in the world’. Felix Heremans (18), Gover Meit (38) and Roel Steeno (51) fully lived up to the high expectations and provided memorable television. Completely unexpectedly, jury member Soundos El Ahmadi also grabbed her moment. Even before the winner was known, she gave an emotional eulogy, during which she had to shed a tear herself and with which she even thawed the normally cool frog Gover Meit.
