Watch Your Back - Season 1

Host Soy Kroon welcomes twelve familiar faces to his country house. In the real world, they've made a name for themselves. Here, they're nothing more than a number. That number is on their backs, visible to everyone except themselves. Who can you trust when everyone knows, except you?

Not one, but two guests must leave the estate. In the Truth Room, Roos is given the power to send someone away, but at what cost? And how will the candidate she chooses react? After this initial shock, new numbers appear on the backs of the participants, new alliances form, and one player is given a secret mission. Will they manage to carry it out without being exposed? Trust shifts, suspicion grows, and every choice turns out to have immediate consequences.

Soy introduces a number-drawing ceremony with asymmetric information. Half the group sees their own number, while the rest are completely in the dark. One player knows all the numbers except his own. Will this player use his knowledge to gain trust, or to deliberately mislead others? Who will keep the game under control, and who will be checkmated?

The most and least trusted guests must work together in a showdown that results in an immediate elimination. The fate of the other players lies entirely in their hands. Who will they place on the red exit tile? Who will you sacrifice when trust is scarce and suspicion lurks? And who deserves access to the mirror garden? One trade can change everything.

The contestant with the red "exit" tile gets a unique chance at a fierce rematch. This person hands out the jersey numbers to the remaining seven contestants, but Soy requires them to tell the truth four times and lie three times. Chaos is inevitable. Who can still believe what they hear? Who will end up in the danger zone, and who will manage to keep a cool head in this game where trust and deception are intertwined?

One contestant must uncover a hidden connection between all the numbers to figure out his own number. Meanwhile, Soy hands out gifts, with far-reaching consequences. Who gets which gift? And which is more important: power over others or certainty about yourself? In a game where trust is scarce, a single decision can determine everything.

Roos receives a powerful gift from Loek: the "restart." This allows her to reset the jersey number of one of the other guests. It's a decision with enormous consequences, because a single choice can turn the entire game on its head. Who will she give a second chance to, and who will she eliminate? Trust is put to the test, suspicion grows, and no one is sure if they're safe.

The red button appears in the game, and it comes with major risks. One contestant can crown themselves the first finalist, but doing so puts everyone else in the danger zone. Who dares to seize this power? And will those left behind seek revenge? With the finale in sight, every move becomes more dangerous than ever.

The finale has begun and appears to get off to a festive start with a cocktail party. But appearances can be deceiving. Soy hands out a cocktail to each guest, and one of them is poisoned. Whoever drinks it will be teetering on the brink of elimination. Who will manage to stay in the competition, and who will see their dream of reaching the finale shatter?

The grand finale is here. Only three contestants remain, but only one can be number 1. In the Truth Room, only one thing matters in the end: the highest jersey number. Who's the best at reading people? Do you play openly or from the shadows? Hubris or strategy it all comes together in the decisive final showdown.
