Paul de Leeuw can only hope that boss Peter van der Vorst will put him out of his misery. Will Ranking the Stars be taken off the air prematurely or will this ordeal continue? “194 thousand!”
Paul de Leeuw hopes that his next step on television will be a success, because his TV career seems to be hanging by a thread. The viewer completely vomits the mess he makes on RTL 4. Together with the dusty piece of furniture Patty Brard, he pulls the dead Ranking the Stars horse. The number of spectators? Nil.
Paul collapses
The current series of Ranking the Stars is by far the worst series ever made. The cast is horribly bad and is full of third-rate reality types like Sjorleone. A huge disappointment for Paul, and of course also for his sidekick Patty. She was completely offended by the fierce criticism. She advised the ‘haters’ to zap away.
Well, that has been complied with. And not just a little bit either. After 510 thousand viewers for the first and 269 thousand viewers for the second episode, only 194 thousand people watched episode three last night, figures show from TV authority Tina Nijkamp.
Poison cup
What a hopeless exercise, Tina thinks. “The poison cup is not yet empty for Ranking the Stars. Now only 194 thousand viewers. That is very low.”
One more call from Patty and there really won’t be a dog in front of the TV anymore. “4.9 percent market share in the commercial target group 25 to 54 years old. A record low for this 20-year-old show. No, I think we can now say that there is minimal chance that this will have another season.”
Next step
Paul must not want this program anymore either. In fact, he must pray that his boss Peter van der Vorst takes this off the air immediately to prevent further damage to his image.
Only one person can save him: Jan Slagter. Paul grants the new program ‘An unforgettable beautiful journey’, in which he travels to Benidorm with elderly people suffering from dementia. The broadcasting location? Tuesday evening prime time, at 8:30 PM on the country’s most watched TV channel NPO 1. The premiere? On March 24. It’s make or break.
