Last but not least: The show with the rejected asylum seekers
In a Dutch TV show, rejected asylum seekers have the chance to win 4,000 euros - for a new start in their old home country.
The quiz show requires knowledge about the country that will not become home after all - so you should have an idea of what is going on in the royal family, know the Dutch language, be familiar with the country's history and so on.
What at first glance sounds like tastelessness par excellence is actually intended as a criticism of the way the Dutch authorities deal with asylum seekers. However, a spokeswoman for the channel assured Sueddeutsche.de that the candidates are genuine - all of the participating asylum seekers, aged between 18 and 25, have lived in the country since childhood. They are Dutch, the spokesperson said, "and promising ones at that". One candidate has studied medicine, another aeronautical engineering, a third has just finished school - "with very good grades" - and they all have to leave the country again. If they are lucky, at least with 4,000 euros in their pockets.
