BBB 24: Reality confuses agility with haste and makes clear fear of the ‘Amanda factor’

In its last two editions, there were many complaints from the public who closely follows the BBB that the edition “died quickly” and was filled with so-called plants, those participants who do nothing and just sleep, but for some reason win fans on the Internet.

The biggest representative of these complaints, without a doubt, was last year, in the edition won by Amanda Meirelles with relative ease.

With a dedicated fan club, even though she spent most of her time lying in the corners and without being a persona that caused in the game, the BBB 23 champion became an important figure for this year’s edition, which started this Monday (8), even without wanting to.

During the leader dispute this Tuesday (9), it was clear that all 26 participants in the program were afraid of being branded as plants. “Villain, it’s okay, we can change the image outside. But never plant it”, said Fernanda Bande, from Rio.

The problem is that this fear is also noticeable on Globo itself, with the first acts of BBB 24. The pull, which was nothing more than a Casa de Vidro with half popular participation, and the sum of 26 participants inside the house, left this Of course.

The gibberish and lack of information presentation within Fantástico, the speed of the premiere program that did not delve into any of the participants are examples of this.

Another important issue: so capricious in production, and especially in other details, Globo forgot a key factor: accessibility.

Vinícius Rodrigues, Paralympic athlete, was visibly uncomfortable with the leader’s first race, when he had to take off his prosthesis to try to complete it. And the other participants loved him even more, so much so that they no longer chose him to complete the challenge.

But the point that alarmed me most was the program’s decision to have elimination on Thursday (11), just 72 hours after the first 18 chosen ones entered the program.

Of course, with so many people inside this big house in Curicica, it was to be expected that we would have more eliminations. But so close to the premiere, it’s almost cruel to those who enter and even more so to those who watch, as there was barely time to memorize ten names of people inside, with the exception of some famous people, such as Wanessa Camargo and Yasmin Brunet.

In soap operas, it is said that the author often confuses agility with haste. Everything is so cluttered that there is no time to get information.

Globo, in its desire to have a lively edition, interpreted quickly and dynamically. It’s okay not to want to miss a topic. But in 72 hours you can’t really know anything. Not even those who are plants.

Within Globo, this interpretation is a fact. BBB is a program that earns a lot and helps the broadcaster at the beginning of the year to make an impressive start to its accounts. But there was also a disappointment. Internally, it was commented, for example, that Fantástico did not pay due attention to the revelations that BBB had to offer the electronic magazine.

If there is good news, it is that Globo is trying. At least, BBB 24 starts off lively. And we need it.
