Marieke Elsinga is back with that program in which she throws candidates who give a wrong answer off a bridge, but Angela de Jong remains unenthusiastic. “It really doesn’t matter.”
It is a substantive trifle: the TV show The Jump with which Marieke Elsinga tries to make a career leap. The program, in which candidates who give an incorrect answer fall off a bridge, returned on Sunday evening for a second season on RTL 4. Is Angela de Jong more positive about it? Everything but.
No shit
Angela took a look, but still thinks it’s horrible. “I think she should make it exciting as a presenter, but everything is done in the same tone. ‘Activate the shutters’, ‘make the jump’,” says the opinion diva, who imitates the presenter with a monotone voice.
It’s incredible that there are people who like this, she continues AD Media Podcast. “There will certainly be an audience for it, but I really don’t mind it.”
Nothing
What Marieke is doing now is really neither meat nor fish, Angela thinks. “We are now really waiting for the variant with celebrities. I just think it’s a silly game, of which there are more on television. Well, 850 thousand people are watching it. Fine.”
Should something like this even stay on television? “If I have to choose between Glennis Grace or The Jump, I say The Jump.”
Nothing is possible
By the way, Angela emphasizes that she is not anti-Marieke. “I do not belong to the camp that believes that Marieke Elsinga cannot do anything. If I were RTL, I would only put her in an informative program such as Boulevard. Because I thought she did a fantastic job as a presenter. At least she can express a little more of herself there.”
“I think this is such a fill-in-the-blank exercise and you need someone who also makes it a bit exciting and she really can’t do that. “
