Gaat Wilfred Genee’s Liefdesshow Floppen?
Wilfred Genee is expanding his television portfolio beyond Vandaag Inside with a new SBS 6 prime-time series titled “Mi Dushi: Wat is dan liefde?” The program features interviews with five celebrity couples, though the guest list has already drawn criticism from Privé boss Evert Santegoeds, who questioned if the lineup is surprising enough to attract viewers.
For years, Genee has expressed a desire to lead a project other than Vandaag Inside. SBS 6 has now granted that wish, placing him in a prime-time slot for a series where each episode centers on a single couple in love.
Why is the “Mi Dushi” guest list facing criticism?
Evert Santegoeds, the head of Privé, expressed disappointment with the selection of guests during the Strikt Privé podcast. He described the guest list as mediocre, suggesting that the chosen couples might not be compelling enough to keep the Dutch public tuned in.
Santegoeds specifically questioned the appeal of some pairings, asking if audiences truly want to know everything about Tanja Jess and Charly Luske. He noted a lack of “surprising people” among the participants.
Who are the celebrity couples appearing on the show?
The series features five prominent couples. According to the production details, the lineup includes:
- Patty Brard and Antoine van de Vijver
- Tanja Jess and Charly Luske
- Natasja and René Froger
- Carry and Geert-Jan Knoops
- Remy and Renate Bonjasky
Santegoeds did find some potential in the list, noting that Geert-Jan Knoops is “funny” because of the curiosity surrounding his marriage. He also mentioned that while Patty Brard is well-known, her husband Antoine is less so, though he expressed doubt about how much Antoine might actually reveal.
What could happen if the show succeeds?
The future of the series likely depends on the viewership numbers of the first season. If the program becomes a hit, a second season could be a possible next step for SBS 6.
Should a second season move forward, Evert Santegoeds has already offered his assistance. He stated that Genee could call him for “surprising names” to improve the guest list for future iterations.
