    It was originally a Dutch TV show by the hack who created Fear Factor and you are giving him way too much credit.

      Pleasantly surprised he is mentioned in that way.

      I stood near him on “conventions” a few times with some years in between and he is such a nasty person both while making phone calls and in the way he treats others/his staff.

      Comes over as someone who can’t find any joy in the small things in his life and p*sses on everyone else because of it.

        That doesn’t shock me, but I doubt de Mol has any sort of secret conspiracy with the world powers going on.
