Tiago Abravanel says he is not offended by a joke on SBT: ‘Marketing family’

The grandson of Silvio Santos and heir to the SBT, Tiago Abravanel, 34, was the subject of jokes when he was announced as one of the competitors of Big Brother Brasil 22 (Globo). But more impressive than starring in the competitor’s flagship show was his revealing that he doesn’t have a close relationship with his grandfather and aunts.

“I can’t beg to be loved. I can’t change a relationship if it doesn’t exist, there’s no way to change it”, he said in a conversation with the brothers on the reality show. “I even take a lot of courage to say this here on national television, but the truth is this. I don’t have a relationship with my grandfather and my aunts”.

The family outside did not comment, but took advantage of the outburst to make jokes. In the segment Jogo dos Pontinhos (SBT), comedian Alexandre Porpetone won the role of parodying the actor, wearing pajamas and sucking his thumb, as he did during his time at BBB 22.

But anyone who thinks that James was upset is completely wrong. “I thought it was fun and saw everything very lightly. I was sure that a family of marketers would not pass up the opportunity to use the things that happened at the BBB, and I think this is very valid. F5.

And there were many jokes. SBT’s social networks reflected the actor’s leadership at BBB 22, as well as the broadcaster simulated a birthday party for him with a cardboard Silvio Santos, in reference to Tiago’s outburst that his grandfather had only gone to his party in the first year of life.

It wasn’t just the SBT pranks that Tiago took as a sport. Jokes from CAT BBB, by Dani Calabresa, also did not make him faint, even with the insinuations that he would not be missed in reality. “I didn’t see anything that could make me upset. The games are part of the program”, said Tiago.

But there’s one thing that left the actor crestfallen: no longer being in the opening vignette of BBB 22 — by contract, those who give up the game disappears from the brothers’ presentation. “Of course it’s not a good feeling, but that was the deal. It was my choice to leave the show and I don’t regret it.”

“It’s an experience I’ll take for the rest of my life and it won’t be the fact that it doesn’t appear in the vignette anymore that erases the history I lived inside”, completes the artist, who admits not having been able to play the BBB the way he believed what I would do when I was still watching as a spectator and fan of the reality show.

“I’ve always been a big fan of the program, I watched the previous editions and I was crazy about the dynamics. That’s what motivated me to participate. But I understood that I don’t know how to play, I imagined that I could play it with what I thought was possible”, he says. he, who was slowly losing relationships in the house, something he always valued.

“But my departure was a process that I was deciding little by little. I was confused by my feelings and I had been like that for a while. It was a process really to understand how much good being inside was doing me”, he evaluates.

“But my decision to press the button was made the day before, very consciously. I packed my bags during the party without anyone seeing it and took the opportunity to say goodbye little by little. Everything I experienced was very good, but I knew that if I stayed inside it wouldn’t do any good.”

The weeks away from the house have already helped Tiago to take stock of his participation in the attraction. He says that, if it were today, maybe he would try to enter in a different way, privileging the game and not just good relations and peace in the house. At times, the public asked him to go to Paredão as a way of punishing the “spiritual retreat” that many said he promoted.

“I don’t regret anything I did in there. Maybe I had to go in less with the heart and more with strategy. But I don’t regret how I got in, because I’m that person. I told my story in there the way I did. I know how to count, with my heart open.”

When he gave up on Sunday, the day he was scheduled to go to Paredão, Tiago did not give the public the chance to judge him. But, according to him, even if he had been nominated by the majority and left by popular vote, it would not have affected his self-esteem. “What was shaking me was exactly not being able to play. Going out or not for the public I don’t think would change at that moment”, he concludes.
