Johan Derksen believes that Dyantha Brooks is far too docile at SBS 6. According to him, she lets herself be committed to fluts programs such as the followers. “K*Tformat,” he brands.
It was a rare TV drug: Dyantha Brooks show, which was achieved after one episode of the tube, the followers. In the show, influencers competed in meaningless challenges such as: Who has the longest follower, the shortest follower or the follower with the most pets. A kind of talent show for algorithms. Everyone really thought it was an embarrassing affair.
Not her fault
What does Johan Derksen think of it? “I didn’t even see it, it was gone that fast, but I have to say: that is deadly if you get something like that from the tube. But that girl from Shownieuws has solved that very tough. He just sat down on TV again and has let it slide off with the necessary self -mockery.”
He continues in the podcast Greetings from Grolloo: “I still think it is not her fault. It is the fault of those programs of Talpa, who come up with some cunt format and put that lady for it and do not realize that they seriously damage that career of the same lady. That is not the fault of her.”
Not critical enough
Dyantha could have refused that program too? Yes, Johan also thinks. “He presents it because everyone in that TV world wants their own program and they are not very critical of the content.”
Then he draws a parallel with Leonie ter Braak. “You also have that girl at RTL. He first worked with us and he went to RTL because she wanted programs. Nice woman, has real qualities, and he was saddled with a program in which participants had to blow up balloons and make a dog out of it.”
Addicted to TV
Leonie’s downfall was a bit worse than that of Dyantha, says Johan. “Then I think: how do I get it in your head to think of it? And I blame her: how do you get it in your head to do that? All those TV stars are so addicted to TV that if they get off the TV, then they are actually hopelessly lost, hey.”
Incidentally, he finds Leonie ‘very sympathetic’. “But you have to be critical and you also have to dare to refuse things. Then she is just at RTL, for a good salary of course, and then she thinks: I can’t make it. But look, if John de Mol comes tomorrow with a program idea where I have the idea that I am like a dick clown, then I don’t do it?”
