Nielson responds to his bizarre ‘joker’ trick in Who is the Mole?

This is for all the fanatic WIDM viewers, you understand that. Otherwise, this is all algebra that is written here. But pay attention, molloten. Nielson – Niels – after all. What a rotten trick. Poor Evelien had to go home while she had used a ‘joker’ in Who is the Mole?. Because you – Niels, that is – stole it.

Niels had also managed to obtain a joker, but he had broken it open. There could have been an exemption in it, but it wasn't there for him. And then he thought: HA-HA. Now I'm going to screw someone else over. He put his own invalidated joker back together. This morning he reacted to all the commotion with Mattie & Marieke on Qmusic: ‘You really couldn't tell that joker had been broken open. Especially if you don't know. So I put it back in my pocket. And then something started to gnaw slowly, maybe I should do something with it. What if I secretly swap my broken joker with Evelien's? Then I have a valid joker again.‘.

And that also happened. Something we have never seen before in WIDM. A sincere rotten trick. ‘Sneaky,’ Niels calls it himself. ‘If I could do it over, I would still do it. The only thing that was really shitty was that exactly that episode Evelien also went out. As if my stolen joker caused that. But yeah, it’s just about one question that gets approved. But well, then she had to cry, and the whole group, and then... Pfff. I did think for a moment: damn what have I done?’

And how he did it, that whole stealing? ‘We regularly sat together on the bus. I suspected that she kept those jokers in her bag. And that bag was next to me on the bus... So I thought: yeah, this is my chance.’ By the way, Niels cannot count on many positive reactions after his action. Many viewers now find him a lot less sympathetic and even say: ‘We don't need to hear your music anymore.’ And also: ‘Swap Niels for Evelien.’ Ouch. That would have been a painful trick if this cost him his career? Well, a game remains a game, but it is clearly not taken kindly. ‘I thought it was focking cool to do this action. But I also definitely walked around with a guilty conscience for two days,‘ says Niels. He has not spoken to Evelien since the incident has been shown on television...
