Dennis van der Geest sees his senior dating show De Prins met het Witte Haar definitively flop. His show was also teased yesterday by the film rerun of Titanic. “Blunder!”
He may be disappointed that some media still describe him as a former judoka, but of course you have to excel in your new craft to earn another title. The first association with Dennis van der Geest is and will remain the judo mat for the time being, because his foray into the television world has so far been a failure.
Definitively mega flop
After the huge debacle of Million Dollar Island, Dennis can now try again with the senior dating show De Prins met het Witte Haar. But that is not a success either; 265 thousand people (6 percent market share) watched it last night. A minimal 32 thousand viewers more than last week’s premiere, but the market share remains more or less the same.
Well, the market share in the general target group. The score in the commercial target group, which SBS 6 focuses on, is taking a nosedive. The market share in this falls from 5.7 to 4.1 percent, reports Look at ratings. “And so Dennis van der Geest’s program is definitely a megaflop,” said the analysis channel.
Titanic blunder
Tina Nijkamp, chief of the ratings experts, notices that Dennis was only the number four at half past nine in the evening. “And he scored worse than six (!) reruns that aired on Sunday. The 1% quiz on RTL 4 even scored double: 554 thousand viewers.”
She continues: “However, it should be mentioned here that Talpa also made a major programming error. Because programming one of the greatest love films of all time on sister Net5, Titanic, opposite the love evening of SBS 6 is NOT HANDY to put it mildly. In 25 to 54 years that difference becomes very clear: 3.6 vs 14.1 percent for Titanic. AU.”
Bit sad
However, what surprises Tina the most? That RTL 4 started repeating One against 50 episodes from corona time last night, when Caroline Tensen made television with a forced adjusted format. “Well, I think this is a bit sad.”
The viewer does not punish it. Where the last season of One against 100 recently attracted an average of about 800 thousand viewers, the repeat of One against 50 also took gold yesterday with 740 thousand viewers (17 percent).
