rdf:langString Vijf tegen Vijf (or 5 tegen 5) was a Dutch game show based on the original American format of Family Feud.In the game, two teams consisting of five contestants play against each other and have to answer questions based on surveys taken by random people from the Netherlands. They have to guess which answer was given by most of the people involved in the survey. It was first aired by the VARA in 1983, and the show was hosted by Willem Ruis. However, the show was canceled in 1986 because of the death of Willem Ruis. The VARA revived the series in March 1992 with as the host, but the show went to the commercial channel RTL 4 in 1993, because host Peter-Jan Rens also went to that channel. Later, the show was sponsored by the Lotto (which also sponsored Weekend Miljonairs). RTL 4 canceled the program in 1998 because there were problems with the rights for the format. When the commercial channel Talpa (now Tien) started in 2005, they began airing new episodes of the show. At Talpa, the show was hosted by singer Gordon Heuckeroth from 2005 to 2006, and later in 2006, Winston Gerschtanowitz became the host. In 2008, RTL 5 began airing reruns of the Talpa episodes. On June 6, 2009, Talpa/Tien aired a special edition hosted by Carlo Boszhard. In this episode, celebrities tried to win as much money as possible for charity. In 2021, after being off the air for no more than six years, the show now airs on SBS6 with singer Gordon Heuckeroth returning as host.
