The atmosphere was truly better on that beach in Colombia where everyone could get the flu

The Dutch reality television show "Anti Survival Show" (A.S.S.) features twelve seasoned reality stars competing for a 50,000 euro prize on a Colombian beach. Participants engage in "A.S.S. games" to earn a spot on a luxury yacht, leading to conflict and animosity among them. The show's premise involves survival challenges with "creepy crawlies" and no toilets, contrasted with the allure of the nearby yacht.

I am not here to make friends.

Meanwhile, the article contrasts the reality show's atmosphere with a segment on "Ongehoord Nieuws" (ON!), a program that discussed the dangers of "omvolking" (a conspiracy theory about population replacement) and the benefits of remigration. This is juxtaposed with a quote from the new head of the NPO (Dutch Public Broadcasting) stating that ON! belongs to their club, which the author finds surprisingly one-sided camaraderie given the program's content. The author concludes that the atmosphere on the Colombian beach, despite the participants' animosity, was preferable to the content discussed on ON!.

I'd rather die.

The article also briefly mentions a scene from the reality show where participants covered themselves in mud for a game, noting that not everyone participated. The author implies that the reality show, despite its dramatic elements, offered a more palatable viewing experience than the political commentary on ON!.

As long as ON! is there, they are part of our club.
