TV review Dutch celebrities are in danger of losing a boundary between fact and fiction, but it is not easy for TV viewers

« The one you trust, you have to give coins … »

« Yes… »

« And the one you don’t trust, you don’t have to give any money. »

« Okay. »

It took a while for this concensus to be reached on Saturday The traitors (RTL). The confusion had already begun with the UNBERT, when game leader Tijl Beckand had thrown the participants bags with silverlings. They had to divide their silver coins over ten piggy banks, the name of a participant was on each piggy bank. They were allowed to do that « at their own discretion, » Beckand reported. « The motto is: who … do you trust … for … none … cént? »

Ten mouths opened for some appreciative AHs and OHs, but by the time they were closed again, not everyone had understood what the word joke meant in concrete terms. No definitive answer could be requested from Beckand; It had already finished the breakfast room in a straight line to reflect on his life choices. His departure left room for two theories. «  » I don’t trust you for a cent « : then you throw money into the piggy bank’s piggy bank that you don’t trust for a cent, » said influencer Julia Heestman. Frans Bauer’s eldest son was there too and thought it was the other way around. All this to great consternation of model Kim Feenstra, who continued to doubt how to distribute her silverlings until the decisive moment. She finally took over the advice from Christiaan Bauer: but coins for those you trust, no money for the person you don’t trust.

Trust is very important in The traitors. Understand trust and cryptic instructions. The players must complete missions to earn ‘silver bars’, but among them are three traitors who do not want to share the loot. That secret company comes together at night to put one of the other Dutch celebrities – it is a fairly lurid affair.

On Saturday Intrige was stacked on intrigue, because traitor Veenstra felt betrayed by co -fadder Joost Dowib. He had not given her coins at all and later, when Feenstra lost her patience, dared to claim that she was very ‘in her emotion’. By that time, the minds had already risen high enough at HOTMAN to call: « Just kill me, I don’t feel like it anymore. » « I think I take it all a bit too personal, » she sighed afterwards. « And that it is a game. »

Sometimes I fear that Dutch celebrities lose sight of the border between fact and fiction. Not surprising, considering how careless we deal with them. Just look at the programs of last weekend: we light them against each other The traitors, they make a musical star one evening Stars on Stage (RTL), they try to bring them closer to God Bangs with the stars (EO) – On Sunday evening, Renze Klamer had in the front piece of Renze on Sunday (RTL) Even the bright orange package that BN people have to wear when they participate in Hunted VIPS (AVROTROS), A game in which they are hunted by an investigation team. In the advertising block, Klamer changed a quick costume. In this way he was able to discuss in something more serious -looking clothes how a group of citizens himself had decided to keep ‘border controls’ in Ter Apel (which is a euphemistic way to say that they were hunting for asylum seekers).
