Marieke Elsinga’s first major studio show is also criticized by her own former colleagues from RTL Boulevard. “It takes quite a long time and it’s all noise,” Luuk Ikink snarls.
Marieke Elsinga would like to become a big television star and to develop herself she has quit her job at RTL Boulevard. However, her first major studio show, Alles is Muziek, is an embarrassment. The viewer saw last weekend how the fallen TV star Irene Moors was drumming on a shuffleboard: intensely sad.
‘wasn’t good’
The television viewer zapped away from Marieke en masse and according to the men of Today Inside, her TV career is now over. To make matters worse, the presenter is now also getting her former colleagues from RTL Boulevard over her. They discuss her program Alles is Muziek in de BLVD Podcast.
Luuk Ikink: “It wasn’t too good. I am sorry that it does not succeed, because I would really like it for Marieke if it is a program that goes really well. Maybe it will pick up a bit, that’s possible, but it was really intense. At one point I thought: it takes quite a long time and it is all noise.”
Red Bull
Podcast guest Daphne Bunskoek: “Yes, it is as if they have understood: what works in certain programs such as Ik Hou Van Holland or something like that, and that that must be times ten in the multiplier.”
Rob Goossens: “And then twenty cans of Red Bull to follow.”
Daphne: “Exactly! That you think: just take a breath somewhere.”
Luke: “Yes. That pause button would have been nice.”
‘That’s nonsense’
Luuk does not agree with Johan Derksen that Marieke’s TV career is now over. “I heard Johan Derksen say at VI: ‘Yes, you can write him off’, but that is really nonsense.”
He continues: “I can remember that nine years ago I was in the office of Erland Galjaard, the then Peter van der Vorst of RTL, and he also said: ‘The chance that you have a flop is just almost a hundred per cent.’ If you want to make a lot of TV programs, and Marieke wants to do that, there is a chance that a program will flop.”
“Look at Beau!”
Marieke can still be okay, Luuk thinks. “Look how many programs Beau has had that didn’t work out and suddenly he had it and he’s got all kinds of hits. That happens, I would think?”
Rob: “Certainly with Marieke, I would find it a shame if she only makes things that are guaranteed to be a success, so to speak. I like that she tries things that can also fail.”
