She has been there since the start of Op1: Giovanca Ostiana. The singer forms a duo with Tijs van den Brink in the talk show, but has been criticized quite a bit from the very first broadcast. It would not have enough content to present a program on politics and other current affairs.

More than two and a half years after the start of Op1, this criticism still applies, according to Rob Goossens, the television expert of RTL Boulevard. He’s lashing out at Giovanca pretty hard this week in his column for Veronica Superguide.

According to Rob, it is an embarrassment that Giovanca de long list for the Zilveren Televizier-Ster, the television prize for best presenter or best presenter. This selection list consists of a total of fifty TV faces. A decent number, or, as Rob calls it: “The long list is bursting at the seams.”

Seat padding

Fifty candidates are far too many, says Rob. “Because I already see thirteen names among them that have nothing to do with it. Giovanca Ostiana, for example, the graceful lady who has to make sure that the Op1 viewer enjoys the Reformed head of Tijs van den Brink.”

According to him, it is really unprecedented that someone like Giovanca is on such a list. “Nothing but love for Van den Brink: substantively he deserves his place at the head of the talk show table. But that the seat filling next to him has a chance of becoming ‘best presenter’ is an insult to the presentation profession.”

Rob also hands out a sneer to Johnny de Mol, who is on the same long list. “Funny actually, because his program would of course have been discontinued for a long time if SBS6 had been owned by a different owner than his father.”

This year, the Zilveren Televizier-Ster is gender neutral for the first time. There is a serious chance that Raven van Dorst will go home with the prize.
