Yvon Jaspers has escaped a tragedy. If Tina Nijkamp had been hired as NPO boss – she had applied for that position – she would have called the TV star to task.
Tina Nijkamp revealed in October that she applied for the position of television boss at the NPO, but she was not accepted. And with that, Yvon Jaspers in particular has escaped disaster, because ratings authority Tina thinks she is really terrible. She thinks that the declining viewing figures of Boerzoekt Vrouw are due to her.
‘Depends on Yvon!’
According to Tina, the farmer’s dating show has been ‘completely ruined’. “One million viewers less. That is the program that has fallen the most last year,” she says in the latest episode of Van Roosmalen & Groenteman. “I think it is mainly due to Yvon Jaspers who treats the candidates as if they were children.”
Host Gijs Groenteman finds it interesting material. He asks: “But more than before? She’s getting more and more childish? She is getting older and more and more infantile?”
On the mat
Tina says so. “Yes, a bit like (puts on infantile voice, ed.): ‘Oh, really?!’”
Gijs: “I know that you have also applied to be NPO 1 channel manager. Would you also call Yvon into your office and say things like that to her?”
Yes, Tina would do that in a heartbeat. And with that, Yvon has escaped disaster. “Well, I wouldn’t be afraid of that. I would say: ‘Maybe you can be a little less childish.’”
Childish
Gijs thinks that’s pretty brave. “Did you also do that during your time as channel director of SBS 6? Then they would just be called to your room and say: ‘Stop with that childish stuff’?”
Tina: “Well, I never called people into my room, because I find that very rude, but when I did talk to people, I would say: ‘Maybe you can pay more attention to that and that.’”
