Merel Ek just stays in her diaper chair in her diaper seat in today, despite a serious warning from Tina Nijkamp. She spits on the criticism of the TV authority of our country. “Low blood pressure.”
Hopefully Merel Ek will not show Marieke Elsinga-like traits now that she has a baby in her belly or if she has squeezed it later. Just like Merel now, Marieke also applied as a big TV promise for a long time, but when she got pregnant it went completely wrong: complaining, nagging, doesn’t want to work anymore, want to reduce for a day, everything difficult, everything hard.
Extremely passive
The 38-year-old Marieke has really changed forever because of motherhood and it is now also starting to have an effect on her radio work, because her buddy Mattie Valk is completely sick of all her talked about poop diapers and broken nights.
Whether we should expect the same thing at the 30-year-old Merel? It is not to be hoped, although according to TV authority Tina Nijkamp-herself also mother-it is really exaggerated that the woman now has to sit in a relaxation chair with today inside. According to the former channel boss of SBS 6, that is extremely passive, which is not good for the show.
What does Merel do?
If someone like Tina says this, you would expect that they at least take it seriously at VI, but Wilfred Genee does it there in the broadcast Laughing about last night. “Do you say so: do you find it dynamic or not at all the way she sits there?”
René van der Gijp then: “Of course it is about what she thinks about it. If she likes it, she must stay comfortable.”
Wilfred: “It’s at the expense of her appearance, says Tina Nijkamp.”
“I’m getting lazy”
Merel, who nowadays is there as if she can open a bag of paprika chips at any time, does not take it all that seriously. “I’m getting lazy, isn’t it?”
Johan: “The TV is about what you say and not in which chair you sit.”
Wilfred: “Not that you radiate something?”
Johan: “Yes, that can give something extra, but …”
René: “But you like it?”
Merel: “It’s really tasty.”
Prefer on stool?
René wonders why Merel is no longer on that bar stool. “You prefer not to sit on such a thing (stool, ed.)?”
Merel: “Normally it is, but I have a – that is normal during pregnancy – low blood pressure. So I occasionally have that I am dizzy.”
René: “Then you better sit in that chair.”
Merel: “Yes, on such a stool … In the beginning, when nobody knew at all that I was pregnant and I was sitting here too, I really pushed my back in that bar, from: stay on that stool! Of course this is a joke, but it’s delicious.”
Very lazy
Raymond Mens is on a stool. He says, from that stool, to Merel: “Isn’t it nice, can you care?”
Merel from her seat: “Yes, but you said that I look very lazy indeed.”
Raymond: “It looks less active, that’s right.”
Wilfred: “Your authority is a bit affected, but it is minimal, really.”
Does Merel attract that someone like TV-tsarina Tina says this? “Oh no, dude, not at all. More people will think: what does that brill do in that chair? Can they think that?”
