VTM started a trend in Flemish TV, casting beauty queens in various programs, although most proved too dumb, only a few became genuine presenters, like Lyn Wesenbeek and sexologist Goedele Liekens who even hosts talk-shows, like aristocratic non-miss with the look Marlène de Wauters. Others are recruited from showbiz, like singer-sex symbol Wendy van Wanten.—KGF Vissers
