Wilfred Genee made a big fool of his colleague Linda de Mol last night. During the opening of Today Inside, he inserted a moment of rest to wait for viewers chased away by Linda.
Linda de Mol is undeniably in the lowest point of her career at the moment. She is currently on the channel with repeats of her four-part drama series Deep Grounds, which have historically low ratings. Never in 27 years has SBS 6 scored so badly as with these Linda reruns.
Driven away viewers
After 87 thousand and 32 thousand viewers, the third episode of Diepe Gronden attracted only 40 thousand viewers last night. Of all the people who watched television at half past eight, Linda only managed to charm 0.9 percent. A real shame. Because of this unnecessary torture, there are even hints at a quarrel between John and Linda de Mol.
Due to Linda’s bizarrely low viewing figures, the subsequently broadcast Today Inside yesterday also had to give in considerably. With 572 thousand viewers (13 percent), the talk show scored far below average. And that while presenter Wilfred Genee had waited extra long for the viewers chased away by Linda.
Wilfred insults Linda
Just after Linda disappeared from view and Wilfred welcomed the Today Inside broadcast, he took a break. “Wait a minute, huh? On? Well, until those people come back, of course. We are coming out of the viewing figure zero, so we have to wait a while until some people come again, of course.
Johan Derksen: “Yes, we have a very strong support act, don’t we? That is the basis of our success.”
René van der Gijp: “What do we have in front of us?”
Dinner guest Angela de Jong: “Deep Grounds.”
Deep Abyss
Wilfred: “We have Deep Abyss in front of us.”
Johan: “Well, it is indeed a deep abyss.”
Wilfred: “So we’re just waiting for the viewers.”
Angela: “The question is really whether they will hit zero today. I’m really curious about that. Last week it was 32,000 viewers or something in that vein.’
Johan: “What is it about then?”
Angela: “It is a drama series by Linda de Mol.”
René: “Nobody knows what it’s about!”
Angela: “No one is looking. That’s the problem. That you just stick with it and make the same mistake over and over again. I find it amazing.”
