Wilfred Genee thinks that Britt Dekker’s career is going to collapse now that she is behaving more and more like a traditional TV star. “You’ve been developing a filter more and more lately.”
Britt Dekker’s performance at the table at De Oranjewinter did not go well, because she was talking very much with the handbrake on. For example, she initially did not dare to reveal that everyone in the corridors already knew that Mona Keijzer is in the race to become a presenter of the talk show HLF8.
Quick mistake
Britt finds herself just as spontaneous as in the beginning, she says in the online section In The Hallways by Wilfred Genee. “Of course I don’t really have a filter and nowadays in this world you easily make a mistake, so I find that exciting.”
Wilfred thinks otherwise. “That was always your strength, Britt, and you’ve developed more and more a filter. Why is that?”
Britt: “No, no, no, I didn’t develop that one.”
Wilfred concerned
Wilfred: “Yes, really. I’m worried about you. I’m really worried about Britt Dekker. Where has Britt Dekker gone? That is the big question today. I really think so, yes. That lack of filter made you so great on TV, but I feel like you’re thinking more.”
Britt: “Oh, well, I don’t have that myself. Listen more, read more, but not that I really… I’m still not afraid to say what I think.”
Wilfred: “You were immediately on your guard at the table.”
Afraid of Talpa
Britt did not want to mention Mona Keijzer’s name directly, because she is afraid what Talpa will think of it. “No one from the audience or the viewers is going to judge you on that, but you do work for a company where you suddenly start mentioning the name.”
Wilfred: “But everyone knew it here in the corridors, didn’t they?”
Britt: “Yes, but then I’m the one who says it.”
Angela Young
Wilfred: “Yes, but now you start thinking again. See! That filter is on! Get that filter off again, Britt! That’s your power! Otherwise your career will go wrong and you will get the Angela de Jongs on your roof.”
Britt: “Yes, okay, but Angela has never been positive and she can stay that way, because that is her profession.”
Wilfred: “Has she never been positive?”
Britt: “No, but that’s just fine, because celebrities also have to be kicked to the ground every now and then to stay normal. Yes, that’s good for you.”
Just report
Finally, Wilfred: “But you don’t recognize yourself at all in the picture I’m sketching now that your filter has become too large?”
Britt: “Not the filter, but I do try to think better. Nowadays, a declaration is just made, you just cross the border.”
