Peter van der Vorst, isn’t that the counterpart of John de Mol who does have a healthy portion of norms and values? At Today Inside they doubt it: “He takes the cake!”
Secretly booze in the orange juice, a bus full of candidates with mental problems and two suicide attempts: the intense revelations about the suffering caused by RTL with the entertainment program Temptation Island are shocking. Angela de Jong does not understand at all that TV boss Peter van der Vorst continues to broadcast this.
Albert is angry
Albert Verlinde, Peter’s former best friend, is surprised, just like Angela, at the lack of national commotion. “I’m genuinely angry about that. When the media talks about itself, it really is: ‘Oh, De Wereld Draait Door has to be turned into work now. Oh, work now needs to be done on Pierre van Hooijdonk.’”
He continues Inside today: “And then we have participants in Temptation Island who are all in trouble, and two even attempt suicide, and then no one says anything about it. Then it remains silent, then the press keeps its mouth shut because it concerns ordinary Dutch people who experience this and have been used by the medium. Then you don’t hear anything!”
Principle
The Voice of Holland was immediately taken off the air by Peter, but that is not yet happening with Temptation. Albert: “Then I think: yes, if you are so principled about how people are abused in a television work environment, you should open your mouth, but no one does that.”
Wilfred Genee thinks that Peter is in a split. He also has to keep the financial side of the company happy. “Money will also play a role in this situation, right?”
‘So bad’
Johan Derksen believes that Peter should act more energetically. “I find it so resentful and so vulgar to put people in a TV program and actually incite them to fuck your partner, then put them in a bed with a strange partner and then just hope that the covers move around a bit. go again.”
He continues: “It’s sick that you think that, because the people who participate are a bit crazy who have no experience with the effect of TV. Those are the tough guys, who become very small when they see it. They come home and have a problem to solve. I think it’s a really disgusting program. This really goes too far.”
‘Peter takes the cake’
Then Johan turns to Peter. “That Peter should never talk again about the fact that there are programs that are not neat or vulgar, because he takes the cake with that program.”
Wilfred: “Just so he knows.”
Johan: “That he just puts that in his pocket.”
