What’s going on with Sophie Hilbrand? Why did she fall still twice a long time at the table at Bar Laat twice last week? “I think it can have to do with tension behind the scenes.”
Sophie Hilbrand was bumbling in such a way last Tuesday at the Bar Talk Show Table Let the men of today Inside thought it was silly to broadcast. During the broadcast, she really fell silent and decided eight (!) For seconds to browse the table through her papers. There is no one who said anything: deputy shame.
Sophie’s silence
Moments later, Sophie threatened to stop for seconds for seconds, but then the table guest Sylvana Simons intervened. As a former presenter, she saw very well that Sophie was in the Penarie and decided to hang up some story to fill the silence. What’s going on with the 49-year-old presenter? Is everything going well?
Mediacriticus Victor Vlam has also seen it and became uncomfortable. “Sophie Hilbrand fell silent twice. Of course that is also very uncomfortable, isn’t it? You really rarely see that. She just didn’t know what to say for a few seconds,” he says in the podcast The Communicado’s.
“It’s crazy”
Sylvana has prevented worse, says Victor. “The second time she was saved a bit by Sylvana Simons, who helped her and put it a bit again, but yes, it is crazy. She was quiet, she clearly did not know what to do. I was watching that broadcast and I actually thought from the start: there is something strange.”
He continues: “It’s hard to put your finger on it, but it was a bit of a strange broadcast. As if she’s not sitting in it from the start. She seems to have less her day.”

Victor thinks there is tension at Bar. “I think it could possibly have to do with tension behind the scenes. I don’t know, that is speculation on my side, but what I know is that low viewing figures almost always cause tensions behind the scenes, because low viewing figures cause arguments between people.”
Co-host Lars Duursma: “Yes, of course you see that a lot in the sports world, isn’t it? At a certain point you will get fewer points as a team, then the players are less confidence, players are blaming each other more about what goes wrong, the media attention is more negative.”
More negligent
According to communication expert Lars, such a situation is inevitable. “Everything around it becomes more negative and then you end up in a kind of downward spiral, where you don’t get out easily.”
Victor: “You see. You see that people on such an editors also blame the problems of the low viewing figures. That can mean that a simple difference of opinion about something small, such as how algae can take a conversation, can end up on a big struggle that his switch pulls on a whole team.”
“That is very difficult and that is what you have to manage if the viewing figures are under heavy pressure …”
