RTL Boulevard star Lex Uiting thinks that the AD is very negative about the viewing figures of Wie is de Mol. Angela de Jong’s newspaper finds them somewhat disappointing. “Very sour.”
The new season of Wie is de Mol started last weekend with more than 2.6 million viewers, an incredibly high score. Yet it is AD not really impressed. “That is a lot less than was usual in recent years,” said the newspaper. “The past three regular series immediately attracted at least 3 million viewers at the start.”
‘Pickles!’
RTL Boulevard star Lex Uiting finds it very bland that Angela de Jong’s newspaper reports in this way about the scores of Wie is de Mol. “I actually read a rather sour review of the viewing figures in the AD. That they were a bit disappointing, especially compared to the other years, when it was above 3 million in the first episode and now ‘only’ 2.6 million.”
Colleague Eddy Zoëy: “Yes, Jesus…”
Lex: “I didn’t say it, did I, Eddy. That’s AD.”
‘A little less’
What does TV connoisseur Rob Goossens think of it? “You know, it is indeed a bit less than the previous editions, but that is a bit of: well, Messi has ‘only’ scored three goals this match and normally he scores eight, so it is a bit disappointing. No, these are numbers that every other program dreams of.”
He continues: “Ultimately at the end of the season you can really say something about it. Maybe people happened to be doing something else last night, maybe they should get to know the candidates even better, maybe they’re tired of Rik van de Westelaken. You do not know. These are just nice numbers, but indeed a little less.”
Blunder
Viewing figure authority Tina Nijkamp also notes that the viewing figures of the NPO 1 hit Wie is de Mol are now slightly lower, but mainly points to the ‘blunder’ of the NPO. At the end of the broadcast, it referred to MolTalk on NPO 3, but zapping viewers then ended up in a commercial break.
In the end, MolTalk managed to captivate 1 million viewers. Tina: “However, this could have been much more viewers, about 1.2 to 1.5 million, if the viewer had NOT ended up in the commercial break when zapping, but in the leader. Hopefully this will be resolved next week. It is also very easy to arrange.”
