                 Oprah Winfrey managed to entice many guests to frankness in her talk show with her charm and empathy. Since then, his emotions are a collective increasingly become good. The public candor often produces embarrassing scenes on.
             

    Home for pipe was certainly one of the most entertaining programs of this season. For the Dutch version of the British kijkcijferhit Gogglebox RTL had a special companion cast.

A cozy knitting, elderly female twins, a Turkish family with a dull, sleepy father and cheerful modern daughters, a few false nieces, two very distinct black girlfriends:. they were all commenting on excerpts from the recent offer on television

The reactions were often funny and villainous. They must have put. To the program makers think Because it was more often form over content, with appearances were relatively mercilessly assessed.

Eva Jinek appeared on screen, no one spoke about the intelligent questions that the presenter suggested. No, the focus was on her appearance and was obviously recalled that she had this impression on a well-known former lawyer, whose name was mangled to ‘Mosko Bicycle’.

Misunderstandings

It is unfortunate that Home stopped again, so we do not know what the vision of the Dutch modal viewer on Marc-Marie Huijbregts The comedian appeared earlier this month in The World’s VARA program Runs – for now – for the pipe . By to promote an autobiographical book, in bits .

The author led a complex life, which soon became clear. He actually felt male nor female and had his voice often causes misunderstandings about his sexual identity. Huijbregts said it is easy to do with themselves.

Presenter Matthijs van Nieuwkerkestraat watched fascinated and declared to be touching find candor five times . The panel of Home for pipe undoubtedly had used other qualifications. That had jokes about, well regarded, pretty pathetic appearance at the table who thought himself or his fellow men a disservice by expanding on its peculiarities. Made

After the broadcast will Huijbregts by the editors of The World Turns are by praised for his courage, but he is in the living room probably mainly derided as a kind of freak.

Sorrow

The occurrence of Huijbregts does not stand alone. His emotions like a collective in modern times become good. The self-control of the old citizen is considered an outdated ideal, the stiff upper lip now points to the unhealthy introversion of a dark horse.

The sharing of feelings is generally recommended as a means to work through pain and other problems. This includes the “vulnerable,” the show’s own weaknesses. The television has thereby become an important stage. Besides the confessional the priest and the divan of the psychiatrist is the table of the talk show host came as a release.

For television makers is the increased willingness to publicly deflate just a blessing. They benefit from emotion and confessing their own sins quickly strikes a chord with the viewers. Preferably if accompanied by the shedding of tears.

Confession Television is regarded as a typical commercial genre. Wrongly. The public stations for certainly it. The documentary Bram van Splunteren example highlighted in a series of programs for the VPRO his midlife crisis.

He came crying into the picture and discussed his erectile problems. Daring, some said. But in the memory of many viewers lives of Splunteren now anyway forth like the crybaby who can not get it up.



Exhibitionists

Huijbregts and Van Splunteren are familiar with the television medium. If they want to spend their weaknesses in the picture, this is a conscious choice. Pity such exhibitionists is unnecessary.

It’s different when expressing more or less ordinary Dutch for the cameras their feelings. Last month slid in Today is a survivor of a victim of the MH17-disaster. The first question they all burst into tears. This lady had better stay at home.

More or less ordinary Dutch also populate the tearful I’m sorry RTL, which attempts are made to atone for the eye of the camera.

And gay men who want their coming out publicly experience can head to Arie Boomsma for KRO’s Out of the closet . In the broadcast of October 14, Linda was central, a seventeen year old girl from Oldenzaal that would never have come earlier for her sexual preference for girls. And now she put this delicate stage on television, watched by 228,000 viewers beaten.

Participants can not count on the absolution of a priest or the professional guidance of a psychiatrist. They are also alone. Always without aftercare, but sometimes with the realization by many viewers feelings of vicarious shame to have posed
