#LCDLF - Here we have the 16 ( La Casa De Los Famosos ) Housemates
This is a Late Post but I'm adding it here for Reference
La Casa de Los Famosos -aka- Big Brother VIP Premiered August 24, 2021 on Telemundo Exactly 3 Weeks ago as of this Writing. 2 Housemates have already been Evicted but there is alot more Game to go since the Show will Last 3 Months.
The Showrunner for this Edition is Pablo Alonso the same Person who Produced Gran Hermano USA in 2016 - 5 Years ago - So this is his 2nd attempt at bringing a Latin Big Brother Edition to the USA Audience. The 1st Attempt Gran Hermano USA was riddled with Controversy for allegedly being Scripted and Rigged and therefore considered a Failure by the Public - Which made it Last for only 1 Edition and was Quickly Cancelled.
However, I didn't get my hopes up too High for this Edition since I knew once it was going to be on the Telemundo Network and Pablo was involved this lead me to expect that History would repeat itself. Pablo and the Rest of the Production Team don't understand what this format is about - they treat it like like the are doing a Tele-Novela instead of a Reality Show and it's Sucks.
For Example: The Nomination System
The Housemates Nominate 2pts one Housemate 1pt the Second -After all the Voting is done and Tallied the 3 Housemates with the Most Votes go on the Chopping Block go up for Eviction - Simple Right? Wrong!
The Leader of the House wins the Power to Save one of the Nominated Housemates in Danger of being Evicted - So whats the Problem? Once the 3 Housemates are Officially up for Eviction - They Open the Voting Lines for the Public to start Voting one of the 3 Housemate out of the House - However the Leader doesn't Save the Housemate he or she wants before they open the Voting Lines he or she does it the Next Day after the Public have already been Voting for a Full Day - Suspicious isn't it?
The Day after Nominations in the Next Gala Show the Host tells the leader to Save 1 of the 3 Housemates up for Eviction who were already being Voted upon by the Public - So once the leader Saves one of the 3 Housemates all the Votes against that Person are Null in Void and the Public who were Voting for that Person find out they have wasted all their Time Voting for nothing. Then it leaves 2 Housemates up for Eviction and Show Bosses have the Nerve to ask the Public to continue Voting as if the Public who already wasted their Time and effort would even care to Vote again. Stupid System.
So whats Really Wrong with this System? Simple - Not only does it Rob the Public of getting someone out of the House if they were Voting in Mass amounts for the same Person the Leader Saved but it also reveals the Biggest Manipulation Gimmick to date when it comes to Evictions - While the 3 Housemates up for Eviction are being Voted upon by the Public- The Production Team can see which Housemate is in Danger of being Evicted - This gives them the opportunity to Manipulate the Outcome by calling the Leader into the Diary Room and convincing them on who they should Save - So if the Production Team has a FAV Housemate on the chopping Block who they want to remain in the House, they now have an Extra way to remove them from Danger and can Blame the Leader for making the Choice when Secretly it was them manipulating the Game behind the scene. This only Benefits the Show not the Public. It's an Nefarious Rigging Tactic which is Very Unfair to the Public.
Then there is the Issue regarding Rule Breakers in the House - They Give the Housemates Warnings but Don't Enforce the Rules or Punish the Rule Breakers - Instead if they continue repeating the same things over and over and the Show Bosses seem to give up and let them get away with it until they get enough pressure from the Public to do something about it - As if the problem was going to correct itself on its own or they were trying to hide it. They forget about Social Media - We see everything and then some. It's also as if they are Afraid to Ruin their Show Script or too Lazy to Discipline the Housemates for Fear it will cause a Backlash - This only causes them to lose Credibility with the Public and be disrespected by the Housemates - It's a Black eye for the Show and only reveals how people running this Edition Like Pablo and Executive Producer Cisco Suarez don't have an Idea what a REALity Big Brother Show is all about. They think they do but they really don't.
Anyway with only 3 Weeks into the Show - The Bosses are already starting to Ride the Train off it's Tracks - So a Train Wreck is now Eminent - It's Still early and they have a chance to pull the Track Switching Lever but if they don't out of arrogance and don't listen to the Public then over the Cliff or Bridge they Go! Anyway I'll keep you posted on Twitter so Follow me there @NY_Watcher Cya Later ;-)
