Media journalist Mark Koster wonders aloud in his podcast ‘what makes Marieke Elsinga so unsympathic’. And with that the Drek that the presenter gets over him but continues …
It is unprecedented and also a bit pathetic how many people are negative about Marieke Elsinga. It is a combination of all that complaining about her work, that shoulder pick up about the criticism and that terribly poor TV programs that she presents on RTL 4. The Media Week.
Very criticized
Co-host Tina Nijkamp can only confirm that. “Yes, she is very criticized.”
Mark: “What makes her unsympathic?”
Tina: “Yes, I think she is missing to be vulnerable. I think it would do her well if she said: “I really worry about the criticism,” but what she does very much – and she did that with everything is music – is saying: “Yes, I don’t sleep any night less whether the viewing figures are bad or not, because I had a good time. “”
Turn around
Marieke has to respond differently, says Tina. “I think if you just say from:” Well, how incredibly annoying that criticism, “it would make her sympathetic. She is not very accessible because of that. I think it will come because of that. ”
Mark: “You could also turn it around that it is a healthy attitude.”
Tina: “Well, that is not apparent, because she will continue to be criticized. I think it helps if you act vulnerably and what would help is that they have to do other formats. ”
The Jump
What kind of formats then? Tina: “The Jump scores well, but of course she can’t say anything about herself, while I think – and I said that before everything is music – is that they should do a program on location. A prove Format from abroad in which she can show more of herself. “
“The adventurous side she has and the spontaneous side, then just:” Open the shutters, make the jump. ” What else do you do with that? She made it difficult for herself. “
Less but
Mark notes that Marieke does listen to the criticism. “She said she says it a little less bone, right?”
Tina: “Yes, but of course that is true minor. I think it is very important for the role of presenter that you can really add something. And for a woman that is perhaps even more important than for a man. I think so. “
“If I had been her manager, I would have really advised: go out the studio or take four episodes from The Jump, but just go for another new program from abroad that is a big hit there. I would recommend that. “
