Gretel, the 51-year-old senior dean of the candidates, is not the jubilee Mol. That is about the only certainty after the long, but occasionally sublime opening episode, with a series of spicy surprises from ‘De Mol’. The biggest plot twist was the re-entry of Jens Zutterman, the man who was out of the game last year before it actually started. That old Mol figures such as Gilles Van Bouwel and Magda Ral would reappear was less surprising, but well developed.
