The show, which ran from August-October 2006 was hosted by Nance Coolen and Gerard Joling (nl). The winner was Hein Vergeer (nl), a former World Champion of speedskating. Singer Jody Bernal (nl) came second and former Dutch Idol runner-up Maud Mulders took the bronze. The SBS-show featured only Dutch stars and drew a bigger audience than its Dutch-Belgian counterpart.
