Eva Jinek has been delivering very strange and mainly non-urgent interviews lately. What were those silly conversations with Malou Petter and Noa Vahle? “She looks more and more like Ivo Niehe.”
According to TV authority Tina Nijkamp, it is undeniable that Eva Jinek’s viewing figures are doing incredibly well, but lately she has been making a lot of strange substantive choices. She suddenly conducts all kinds of non-urgent interviews with non-urgent types such as Malou Petter and Noa Vahle, which are greeted with superlatives by Eva.
Eva Niehe
Eva has come under a lot of criticism for these strange interviews. What exactly is going on here? “So I have the idea – I have analyzed this a bit for myself – that she is increasingly moving in the direction of Ivo Niehe,” says Tina in the section In The Walkways.
According to Tina, the similarities are striking. “She is going to interview more and more people who are not in the news at all and have nothing newsworthy to say, because René’s podcast – which was great fun – did not really have a current reason. Not Malou either, not Ilse DeLange and not Noa Vahle either.”
Admiring
It’s all about nothing, Tina thinks. “So she does a lot of things ‘just like that’, and I find that very Ivo Niehe-esque. Very admiring, an overview of life.”
Isn’t it a bit like Matthijs van Nieuwkerk who put everyone on a pedestal in DWDD? “Yes, but those were often people that you or I didn’t know very well, and you think: gosh, how nice, he can do something! While, yes, Malou Petter… Yes, I already read that whole story in the Libelle.”
Other questions
If you choose such a non-urgent topic, make sure you are critical, says Tina. There has been a lot of criticism of the completely uncritical interview with Noa Vahle. “I didn’t find that very exciting in terms of an interview. I might have asked some other questions.”
Eva should have asked more questions about the Voice scandal, Tina thinks. “Yes, I think so. That is of course something that everyone when you saw Noa, also here or at De Oranjezomer, while playing with that mother who was also having a very difficult time… You still wondered.”
It all needs to be a little sharper and a little less feel goodthinks Tina. “Yes, and a little more current.”
