Philippe Minguet stands in the collective memory of Flanders as in 2022 he was the very first saboteur or "Mole" who gave up during the acclaimed, internationally sold game show
De Mol (1998), leaving the creators of the program no choice but to choose another "Mole". Succumbing to the mental pressure in the fourth episode, homosexual physiotherapist Minguet had to pass the baton to teacher
Uma Vandemaele. She was initially a candidate. Minguet and host
Gilles De Coster received an award for the situation, on behalf of the program, at the inaugural Flemish television and radio awards Kastaars.
