Gordon turns out to be the Ranking the Stars candidate who fat-shamed another panel member during the recordings. Tina Nijkamp thinks it’s bizarre. “Level. Would Peter van der Vorst really be proud of this?”
Just before the weekend, Paul de Leeuw revealed that a candidate from Ranking the Stars had messed up by fat-shaming a fellow panel member. “A comment was made about weight and it was immediately dismissed. You don’t do that anymore. I don’t know if it will last, but of course I’m also fat, so then you also have a fellow sufferer.”
Plane not up
RTL appears not to have cut this fragment out, because it was there last night in the show. It turns out to be Gordon, who takes fellow candidate Sarah Janneh for her weight.
When it comes to which panel member gets on the plane least often, Gordon says: “I actually had Lilian (Marijnissen, ed.), but I ended up with Sarah. I think she wants to fly, but the plane doesn’t come up.”
‘Teeeeezus!’
Sarah thinks that is very much below the belt. “Geeeeezus!”, she shouts.
Paul, who is friends with this actress, said: “Well, that’s too easy!”
Sarah: “Wow!”
Paul: “That’s too easy!”
Sarah: “Jeeeezus!”
Paul: “That’s too easy!”
Diabetes
Sarah handles the joke sportingly. “Yes, we’ll do it again.”
Meanwhile, we see fellow candidate Patty Brard making a ‘how scandalous’ face. Paul then told Goor: “Yes, you have lost a lot of weight, but we don’t have diabetes.”
Applause follows in the studio. Patty: “Hahahaha. Nice, Paul!”
‘Remains sad’
What does TV authority Tina Nijkamp think of this? Ridiculous. “It was — surprise — Gordon who made the comment to actress Sarah Janneh,” she wrote analysis channel. “She would fly the least ‘because the plane wouldn’t get her up’. Level. Would Peter van der Vorst really be proud of Ranking the Stars?”
The RTL boss propagates that people should be ‘sweet’, but then you cannot be proud of such a program, according to Tina. “On the outside, of course, and it will certainly continue to score well, but it remains sad for the celebrities who participate and who have yet to break through. It’s going to be difficult.”
