Jelka van Houten really has to watch her step now. After Jan Uriot, she also has Angela de Jong on her roof. “She’s not that nice or funny,” says the implacable opinion dragon of the AD.
She is suddenly everywhere: Jelka van Houten. While her sister Carice spent the entire summer on the A27, Jelka managed to force a breakthrough in Hilversum. She is suddenly used everywhere. “Make Up Your Mind, I Can See Your Voice, Jelka Op Eigen Houtje, All Against 1,” Privé star journalist Jan Uriot summarized last week.
‘Act normal!’
A overkill is lurking, Jan thinks. He even compares her to Samantha Steenwijk, who was on TV for a while and is now nowhere to be seen: people are tired of her. “It is very tempting to go into everything, but I think every now and then you should also think: take it easy.”
Oh dear. And now Jelka is also being attacked by Angela de Jong, the opinion dragon of the AD. She watched All Against 1 last weekend and was completely annoyed. “Dear Martijn Krabbé, accept your loss and please act normal,” is the headline of her latest column.
‘Not fun’
Martijn is going into the overdrive Now that the viewing figures of that RTL 4 program are disappointing, Angela notices. “With the courage of desperation he tries to bring tension into the game that is unfortunately not there and to ram down the audience’s throats how special what is happening is. And how great Jelka is.”
Terrible, Angela thinks. “The drooling ‘darling, we enjoyed you again’ was a real low point on Saturday. She’s not that nice or funny. Only Hilversum program makers think that. Moreover, it should be about the assignments, not about her.”
Does it?
Relentless. And we haven’t had everything with Jelka yet. In a month and a half she will also get a prominent role in the TV comeback of Does he do it or doesn’t he do it. In other words: it just doesn’t end.
So we get a whole lot of Jelka, but the TV critics aren’t exactly crazy about her. And that is a very toxic cocktail…
