Caroline Tensen and Linda de Mol have been on the tube with their lottery quizzes for decades, but that is just one of their few similarities. “I have met her in real life.”
They are the TV classics of the Postcode Loterij: the RTL 4 show One against 100 by Caroline Tensen and the SBS 6 show Miljoenenjacht from Linda de Mol. Both ladies differ enormously from each other, because Linda is very much made. In real life, she is totally different from television, but with Caroline it is different, according to Mediacolumnist Mark Koster.
Catholic
Mark finds Caroline really much more sympathetic than Linda. “I think Caroline is actually the anti-linda. Linda is a Catholic, splendor. Caroline is Reformed and Calvinistic. Linda comes down the stairs, everyone has to applaud, and Caroline is always behind her deskje,” outlines the Telegraaf columnist in the podcast The Media Week.
“Linda is stimulating and enthusiastic, and Caroline can sometimes do a bit sarcastic and be supercooled that people are so stupid. I really like her. Both have done the same for 25 years.”

Co-host Tina Nijkamp endorses that the Reformed Deskdiva Caroline is a very nice Dutch celebrity. “I really like her. I have met her in real life. Not very often, but she is one of the few Dutch celebrities who is really very nice in real life. That is really true.”

Tina: “I only find her in terms of television compared to Linda.”

Linda is really a harder worker who performs more, says Tina. “One against 100 is recorded in three days, isn’t it? A whole season. That is eight or nine. The first day there will be two, then three and then again three. Linda records millions of hunt every week.”
Moreover, according to her, Caroline has really had a weak period. “Caroline also presented it for a while with a lot of boredom.”
Appearance
According to Tina it was really not to see. “Not anymore, but then it was kind of: well, there we are again with one against 100, may I please present something else, channel boss? She had that look.”
Well, let’s not talk about Linda’s appearance when she wrote all kinds of hate columns about media professionals such as Angela de Jong and Beau van Erven Dorens with steam from her ears. Never Forget …
