Just about that pillow of Jan

So you are participating in a TV show in the hope of finding love. Of course, you are not sure if you will find the person you want to fall asleep with in the coming years. What you can reasonably assume is that millions of people will be peeking into your life. So what do most people do? They clean the windows, straighten the sheets, and try to view their belongings with a critical eye. What is there and why? Does this give a good impression of who I am and does it show my best self? Those are questions you might ask yourself at such an important moment in your life.

I wonder if Jan did that. When he gives a new resident a tour, 'clean' is not the first word that comes to mind. After some homoerotic art and other dog-eared booklets, the camera moves from the window to the right (a pan in technical terms) towards the bed, and oh, what a cameraman must have done a sneaky happy jump when he saw a brown, elongated object next to the bed. Because that was, yes: a rectangular pillow in the shape of a penis with two sturdy balls at the bottom. And I believe there was also a smiling face on the tip, but I want to set that aside for now.

I have stopped wondering how this object ended up in Jan's bedroom (was it a serious purchase? A funny gift during a humorous Sinterklaas celebration?). But one thing must be said: for a clean appearance, you should not go to Jan. And that is exactly why he is such a brilliant candidate for Winter Full of Love.
