Paul de Leeuw is back with the dead Ranking the Stars. It was once high-profile television with a cast full of A-stars, but what the heck is in it now? Sjorleone. “What poverty!”

It is bizarre that the guardian of good taste Peter van der Vorst uses it as primetime entertainment on Saturday evenings: Paul de Leeuw with his completely squeezed-out celebrity show Ranking the Stars. The presenter himself must not want this anymore, because it is just embarrassing how obvious it is that no A-stars are showing up for Paul anymore.

B cast

Who did we see in the season premiere of Ranking the Stars yesterday? On the top row are Koen Kardashian (a kind of Ferry ‘snuff’ Doedens), Melisa Schaufeli (‘the wife of’), Hassan Slaby (still look it up on Wikipedia), Rian Gerritsen (an actress who has lost 25 kilos) and the eternal Bevers. They really say yes to everything.

Reality star Marjan Strijbosch opens the bottom row and next to her are Hendrik Jan Bökkers (Angela de Jong’s crush), furniture piece Patty Brard, Sjorleone (a Temptation Island-like figure) and a certain Pepijn Schoneveld (?).

Banana peel

RTL 4 viewers react in bewilderment. “Who are those people?” is the general tone of X. And also: “The drain of commercial TV!”

Sonja thinks this is of the level The All-Kunner VIPS. “Are there people who can keep up Ranking the Stars for more than five minutes? Desperate ‘celebrities’ who want to be on TV with their chance.”

Antonius: “Sjorleone! What an idiot with the IQ of a banana peel. As long as you are stupid you will be on TV.”

Hilarious

Gurb thinks that Paul has sunk very low. “Ranking the Stars used to be hilarious, but I just missed it… 😱 What kind of people are there now? I’ll drop out immediately.”

Kos: “That you broadcast such a pauper program like Ranking the Stars on primetime on Saturdays. My goodness, what poverty.”

Another: “All unknown stars to me!”

X

Furthermore, many people are surprised that Ranking the Stars’ make-up artist now works with needles instead of a powder brush:
