From Selfie to Stable Upon arrival, things kick off right away. Dairy farmer Pier Jan puts the influencers straight to work shoveling manure, and if that wasn't bad enough, they'll also have to sleep in a hay barn for the next few days. In the countryside, you eat what's on the table. But while cooking with the locals, tensions within the group flare up almost immediately. And that leads to a fiery first elimination. |

Heels in the Ditch After the first influencer has been sent home, it's straight back to hard work on the dairy farm. And that hard work isn't for everyone, especially when you have to get up at six in the morning. Luckily, there's also room for some countryside fun. The influencers dive into an ancient Frisian tradition: fierljeppen, with hilarious results. |

Versace in the Fishes The group is thinning out and the tension is palpable. They can leave the smell of manure behind and go to Urk, with a layover in Harlingen. It's not just the smell of fish they find unpleasant - the atmosphere also hits an all-time low, with one even threatening to quit the game. Will Sunday bring some peace? And will Urk's deeply religious community approve of the influencers' fashion choices? |

From Socials to Ostriches Upon arrival, the influencers are immediately confronted with an unexpected challenge: they have to start working on an ostrich farm. As if that weren't enough, they have to spend the night in one large army tent, which they also have to pitch themselves—a situation that guarantees tension. The escalating argument that follows causes one of the participants to consider leaving the program early. This incident gives the first elimination a completely unexpected and remarkable twist. |

Oysters & Restlessness After the first elimination, the group faces a new ordeal: the harsh, salty existence of oyster fishermen and mussel harvesters. The penetrating smell is barely bearable, the work is heavy and unforgiving, and the night in the harbor offers little to no comfort. Only the intriguing golden mussel offers a glimmer of hope, but simultaneously arouses a considerable degree of distrust. |

Working hard at the organic farmer's Influencers trade the smell of fish for rural life at an organic farm. However, there is no peace and quiet when a scarecrow in the yard seems to unexpectedly come to life. In the early morning hours, vegetables are harvested, followed by physically demanding labor, literally alongside water buffaloes. Fortunately, an afternoon filled with line dancing offers much-needed relaxation and ensures a refreshing night's sleep for the eventual winner. |
