Monica Geuze has been completely criticized by Angela de Jong as the new panel member of The Masked Singer, but Jordi Versteegden is also critical. “So she really was put in the wrong place!”
Jordi Versteegden, entertainment expert from De Telegraaf, thinks it is quite smart that RTL 4 has chosen to put Monica Geuze on the panel of The Masked Singer. According to him, it is simply a measure to rejuvenate a bit. However, one big mistake has been made, he says.
‘This is what it feels like’
The decision to place Monica on the side of the panel table – she sits in front of the viewer on the far left – is a blunder, according to Jordi. “It’s a bit now… You now have those five panel members in a row and then she sits all the way to the side,” he begins in a video section of The Telegraph.
He continues: “It’s a bit like joining a family because you’re in a relationship with someone and then you’re put on the side of the photo so you can be cut off. That’s how it feels a bit. I would have put her in the middle, so that she also becomes a little involved through those panel members.”
Member-in-law
Co-host Wilson Boldewijn understands what Jordi means. “It’s a bit like the in-laws that can still be cut off.”
According to Jordi, it is also a loss that you no longer have two celebrity teams, but five individual panel members. “I personally don’t think that’s very strong. I think it’s more fun if you can bond with a certain team. You had two teams and it just worked very well.”
Strong criticism
What does Jordi think of the criticism that Carlo Boszhard is like this? fake would be hysterical? “He denies that it is fake, but at the same time we also know that Carlo is a television producer before and behind the scenes, so he really knows how to spice up that program. He can really stir up that panel.”
Finally, Gerard Joling about the criticism of Monica: “Criticism is so easy. She is really very sharp, but also incredibly sweet, fun, but also sociable.”
