Now that their boys are getting older and increasingly independent, they can't escape the fact that this busy life will be very different in a few years. Empty nest syndrome is looming. Besides, Frans saw Abraham last year and finds balance in his busy career increasingly important. But how do you achieve that? In "F'rans & Mariska, Couples on the Test," they prepare for this new phase in their lives. They put it to the test and ask themselves: is overwintering in Spain something for us?

In the new Discovery series, Jeroen van Koningsbrugge visits the most spectacular, deserted and remote places and buildings. Together with Bob Thissen, an expert in finding and exploring abandoned structures, he discovers places where no one has set foot for years.

For Road Trippers VIPS, three teams of Dutch celebrities are dropped off in a remote Thai village. They receive a small allowance, just €50, and must travel as far as possible from the starting point within fourteen days. Along the way, they must be resourceful enough to earn money, for example, by washing dishes or working the land. They also have to arrange their own transportation, for example, by scooter, tuk-tuk, or hitchhiking. Luxury hotels are also out of the question, so this journey requires a lot of perseverance. After two weeks, we'll see which team has traveled the furthest from the starting point. That team wins.

Under the leadership of Beau van Erven Dorens, the participants are taken to special locations, where they have to rely on their instincts again and again.

Ten candidates have to complete assignments to earn money. However, one of the group members is the Mole. The Mole's goal is to make the assignments fail and keep the amount of money earned as low as possible. The other candidates do not know who the Mole is and need to unmask them. At the end of every episode, the candidates take a multiple-choice test about the mole's identity. The person who gives the least amount of correct answers is "executed" and must leave. This process continues until only two contestants and the Mole remain. The winner is the person with the most correct answers in the final test and they get all of the money earned in previous stages of the game.
