Gijs Rademaker, the opinion pollster who has been promoted from the touchscreen to the talk show table, gets a big cat from René van der Gijp. He does not understand RTL: ‘What a boring l * l.
He is the Never Enough Caterpillar among the opinion pollsters: Gijs Rademaker. He left EenVandaag because he wanted ‘more’. And when that section took him off the screen after the announcement of his transfer to RTL, he screamed murder and fire. He was completely offended that he was not given a royal farewell ceremony at AvroTros.
“Jesus, guys!”
Gijs has now completely landed at RTL and we see him sitting at the talk show table just about every evening. Then he can tell what he sounded out at his office that afternoon. Too much, says René van der Gijp. According to the Today Inside star, they should have just left that Gijs next to a touchscreen.
It is not an asset, says René. “Jesus, guys. No, that Gijs Rademaker is a perfect… What do you call someone like that? Opinion Poll. An opinion poll. But that was him at the NOS. The public broadcaster. He did fine. Then he came into the picture and then he indicated. Well, fine. But now they have decided at RTL to put him at the table.”
“What a boring l*l”
René does not like to see it. “It’s a boring l*l, boy! That’s not normal anymore! Then I think: just do an opinion, and go! Just point and go! But now he goes too… And he is like that… He’s a very correct boy, you know. A very sweet, correct boy, but such a boring l*l. Then I think: that is just five minutes at the table.”
Johan Derksen thinks it’s not too bad. “René, whatever you say: I don’t mind him at all. I think he is a very likeable boy.”
René: “A very correct boy, but he doesn’t say anything! Except when he does those polls.”
‘so correct’
Johan jumps into the breach for Gijs, the Benjamin Button of the Mediapark (the man is 45). “Yes, well, I think he is excellent in the polls and then he can also deliver it very nicely, but I understand that they let him down, because he is a nice boy at the table.”
Rutger Castricum does point out that Gijs reacted so correctly when Hugo de Jonge refused to apologize for his Lucille Werner joke. René: “That bothered me! Also like that: ‘Oh, oh, oh, oh!’ Come on man! It is so correct too.”
