No ear for shades of gray

Casting Mark van Huisseling (far left) is a columnist for Weltwoche and is the only Swiss man who meets a more or less big star every week and then writes about it. Over the past few years, this has given him plenty of visual lessons in how to act like a star. He also writes for Welt am Sonntag, Financial Times Deutschland, Park Avenue and GQ. Mark van Huisseling became known to a wider audience in Switzerland as a member of the jury for the program "Superstar" on 3+. There he attracted attention with his idiosyncratic grading. On a scale of 10 possible points, he stubbornly only gave a 1, 5 or 10. The candidates found this unprofessional and threatened to go on strike for the final show on December 5 if van Huisseling was not removed. Now the Bohlen wannabe has been given early retirement. A tribute to the candidates, who are obviously taken as seriously at 3+ as the advertising for the show said. And van Huisseling has more time for Weltwoche again. Where his lack of a sense of nuance will hardly be noticed anymore.
