It seems that René van der Gijp is right about the Hélène Hendriks-free Oranjezomer. Replacement Johnny de Mol scores no less than 41 percent worse than today inside. “Substitute.”
Hélène Hendriks was operated on a hernia and she still has an incredible amount of pain. The presenter is out of circulation longer than expected and that may just be that Johnny de Mol really takes over her program De Oranjezomer throughout the summer. He started last night: how did that score? Is it promising?
Considerably lower
Well, no. In the commercial target group in particular, SBS 6 collapses completely, because the Oranjezomer with Johnny scores no less than 40 percent worse. Whereas VI last week 23.8 percent market share achieved 25 to 54 years in the commercial target group, Johnny now comes to only 14.1 percent. A dramatic fall.
The number of views stays fairly up with 808 thousand (VI had 1,055 million), but those are mainly older viewers. “Especially in 25 to 54 years considerably lower than VI,” said the Tina Nijkamp viewing grade authority on her analysis canal. “The big question is: can Johnny hold these viewers? It was still a somewhat stiff broadcast.”
Gun factor
René van der Gijp recently called on television to fear for Johnny. And in his podcast he said last week: “Our audience, he thinks Hélène Top, and that is why I think that little Johnny de Mol can sometimes get a reasonable problem on SBS 6. It is not there, in the factor that we have and that Hélène has and everyone. That is the gun factor.”
Do the VI viewers find that too? It seems there. “No dude, won’t work! Son of the boss. Live in external bubble. Guests want to get white foot,” says Lara under one X-post of VI.
Spot on
It is indeed a bit too much the big Johnny de Mol show, says Tina Nijkamp. She says: “Yes, spot on. It was too much about his own world. At sometime!”
VI-Kijker Pedro: “There is” spoiled son of “weather, I can’t get that out of it.”
And one Anthomar: “What a weak extract. It is always artificial, but now so rough. Table guests including the host: just put it when garbage. So bad and I don’t really see that. And Johnny de Mol quickly has to leave what he connects and has bad humor.”
Saltless
VI-connoisseur Victor Vlam finds it seriously disappointing. “What the Oranjezomer is missing is only a little bit of the DNA of VI. It is clear that Johnny has chosen a setup with more Dutch celebrities and more fun. But also less sharpness, less news and a less right profile. Episode one was saltless,” he says on X.
Sjuul Paradijs, former Telegraaf boss, finally calls the program ‘no journalism’. “Johnny de Mol deserves a better table and perhaps also a better editor. Specific weight after VI in dive. Immediately intervene.”
