Sports presenter Hélène Hendriks started her new program last weekend The Orange Sunday, in which she works with Rutger Castricum as a sidekick. In the past, Jack van Gelder also appeared as a sidekick next to Hendriks in the presenter’s programs, but for The Orange Sunday this role is only reserved for Castricum. A striking choice, says media expert Victor Vlam.
Hendriks and Castricum worked for the program in the past The Orange Summer/The Orange Winter successful together, but the same applied to Hendriks and Van Gelder. If the latter had become Hendriks’ permanent sidekick, SBS would have made a more logical choice in Vlam’s eyes. According to the media expert, Van Gelder, former sports journalist and football commentator, would fit in well at the end of the week: “Sunday is a day on which there is a lot of football news, which is also discussed extensively in that talk show. Jack van Gelder has worked for Studio Voetbal for many years. presented and has been a commentator on all kinds of football matches,” Vlam indicates in the podcast From Communicado’s.

According to the journalist, it would have been logical if Van Gelder, with his knowledge of football, had been placed next to Hendriks in favor of Castricum: “I find it remarkable that they did not go for Jack, because it was very logical to have him to ask for that. And at the same time I think there is a reason for it,” Vlam indicates. He thinks that Van Gelder’s age (73) plays a role in Talpa’s considerations.
Vlam continues: “John de Mol sees this program as the future. Van Gelder is someone with one major disadvantage, namely that he is almost the same age as Johan Derksen. If you see this program as the future, you do not want to be stuck with a another sidekick who is in his mid-seventies. Then you would prefer someone younger,” says Vlam, who thinks this was an important reason for ignoring the former sports journalist as a permanent sidekick in the program The Orange Sunday.
