The presenter said in an interview with NU.nl he realized that the time was ripe to address serious issues. He already did with Tourette on Tour where he walked with people with Tourette’s, and that he now does again with Blind To The Top.
“I want to grow. I wanted to get rid of that flat and allow for more content. Human Interest Create programs. That chance I get now,” said Weening, who in the past beside Wipeout also include So You Think You Can Dance presented.
Blindfolded
Blind to the top go Weening and co-host Lieke van Lexmond with six blind and visually impaired young people to the summit of Kilimanjaro, under the guidance of a professional mountaineer. The two presenters allow themselves to blindfold itself going so well “blind to the top”.
“I doubted at first, it felt strange, it is still a bit ‘pretend you’re blind.” But it made for a sense of community, that I noticed the participants, “said Weening.
Guilty
The leader of the expedition wanted the presenters their blindfolds took off when she stopped, but over Weening Van Lexmond time and did not want to that. “You feel just a bit guilty: you’re in a beautiful place and the rest can not see it that does not feel right, but the participants were quite clear on that:.. ‘Off the blindfold!” She said they were the same. if they were us. “
After his experiences on Kilimanjaro Weening hopes to continue the trend and make more programs about serious topics. In addition, he would like to make a music program. “That is not yet on RTL 5 and I think there is definitely public Now I give it to.”.
