Jeroen van Inkel joins critics such as Johan Derksen who find Carlo Boszhard’s program in which complete strangers marry each other objectionable. “They are all patients.”
According to many critics, it is transgressive television: Married At First Sight, Carlo Boszhard’s program in which complete strangers marry each other because the TV makers think they are a good match. However, for those TV makers it is of course the most fun if there is a lot of crackling between the candidates, and that makes the formula so questionable.
All patients
As NPO Radio 2 DJ Jeroen van Inkel Veronica Super guide When asked what he absolutely never wants to see again, he answers resolutely: “Married At First Sight.” My wife thinks that’s great, but I see all kinds of patients. You don’t have to be an expert to know: this is going wrong.”
Furthermore, he does not like watching programs such as The Voice of Holland. “Talent shows don’t interest me at all. People win and then you never hear from them again.”
Today Inside
What Jeroen is a fan of? “The only thing I watch live on TV. Wonderful, the politically incorrect behavior they exhibit. A bit rebellious, a bit unruly. It’s really a different sound, so to speak.”
What does he snack during VI? “I usually eat cucumber slices, but my wife sometimes makes me a yoghurt mix with banana, apple and cinnamon. Every now and then I treat myself to Japanese snacks. I used to be able to eat everything, but that somehow becomes much more difficult as you get older. Before you know it, I’ll have gained another kilo.”
Australian version
By the way, Carlo’s show has been criticized for weeks in the same guide, namely by celebrities who indicate that they like the Australian version much better. For example, Tanja Jess says: “That one is much more fun and better than all the others. Many more couples participate and they also meet each other, which means all kinds of craziness happens.”
And Edsilia Rombley: “I have never seen the Dutch Married at First Sight, but I think the Australian one is great. There is so much drama in it! While the Dutch are quite down-to-earth, the Australian version gets intense. My eldest daughter and I sit and chat to the TV during every broadcast: how terrible that she does that to that man!”
