Johan Derksen thinks it is a blunder that RTL 4 has chosen to make Soundos El Ahmadi the new jury member of Holland’s Got Talent. “The worst choice.”
RTL 4 boss Peter van der Vorst wants to have the most inclusive presenters’ stable in the Netherlands and he makes a lot of work on it. It seems that he likes to listen to the inclusive podcast BIMS, because the three presenters of it – Edson da Graça, Quinty Misiedjan and Soundos El Ahmadi – now get all kinds of fun job sheafs at RTL.
Annoying ghost
Buddy Vedder is flickered from The Voice Kids to make way for Quinty, Edson is going to do the adult The Voice and Expedition Robinson, and because he therefore no longer has time to be a jury member in Holland’s Got Talent, Soundos is now pushed forward as his replacement. Oops, is that a good choice?
No, Johan Derksen says at the table Today Inside. “RTL could not have made a worse choice, because I believe she is a comedian and I have never been able to smile for one joke of her. I think it is an annoying ghost. I think RTL is making a big mistake, because she has a frightening appearance.”
Never met
Wilfred Genee jumps for Soundos in the Bres. “Of course you have never met her. I have met her a few times and she is pretty nice, I have to admit. (…) That is always what you say about people: if you get to know them once, that they are not too bad.”
Johan: “No, you shouldn’t get to know them. That is often very disappointing when you get to know them.”
Inclusionity
Wilfred thinks Soundos was selected as part of Peters Diversity Policy. “It is probably again in connection with inclusiveness?”
Johan: “That will undoubtedly have to do with it. If you deviate from being white and being a man, then you have a very big chance that you will be hired with application procedures. In any case, they no longer look at qualities.”
Never laughed
Wilfred points out that some people like Soundos. “That is subjective, although I have to admit that I cannot laugh so much so far at her contributions.”
Table guest Job Knoester finally: “No, I have never been able to laugh at her.”
Soundos announces itself as a new jury member:
