“Big Brother” It was always a bubble. Due to the isolation that the participants must endure, locked up and without having contact with “the outside,” the most famous house in the country used to be exempt from what is happening in the country. However, something changed in this 2024 season and the reality show, for the first time, looks ccontaminated by what happens in the outside world. Now, politics and economics managed to penetrate inside the house.
From the surprise at the prices every time the participants make the weekly purchase to the comments about Javier Milei and his recent inauguration as President of the Nation, the current edition of the reality show is crossed by the vicissitudes that the country suffers and, on the other hand, the public bases its support and preferences on the comments and political positions of each contestant.
Militant
While the participants were playing “tutti frutti”, they had to say a country with the letter “P”. Juliana “Rage” Scaglione, one of the favorites and most supported by the public since the reality show began, launched: “Thank God it’s over: Peronia.” “Come on, wig!”, the player immediately shouted, making clear her support for the President. “Peronia existed, it was their country…”, “Furia” continued, referring to the viral neologism that describes the country governed by Peronism.
Another episode in which “Rage“had brought politics into the most famous house in the country occurred in January, when, during a dinner, she asked all her classmates who they had voted for in the runoff. She claimed to have voted for Milei and encouraged the rest of the contestants to They asked them to raise their hands if they had done the same. Some raised their hands, while others preferred to ignore it.
“Furia” had already shown its libertarian alignment when, shortly into the program and after winning one of the weekly leader tests, he thanked the President. “Thank you, Milei,” she shouted. And she continued: “Thank you, President.” Instantly, the production of “Big Brother” decided to quickly cut off the broadcast of the program.
However, after his new comments about “Peronia”, the followers of “Furia” were divided between those who subscribe to his libertarian position against those who now want him to leave the house for his support of Milei. Thus, while some celebrated his sayings, others They organized campaigns on networks to remove support. “Just as we bench you, we can get you out,” was one of the most replicated comments on networks against “Furia” for her role as a leading libertarian in the “Big Brother” house.
Uncertainty
But it’s not just politics that permeates the house. The delicate economic situation too. “What is happening?” “Furia” herself asked herself when she observed that her colleagues had done the weekly shopping and prices had skyrocketed compared to the previous week’s purchase. “One thousand five hundred pesos two morrones. “I am having an attack,” she added.
The Uruguayan Rosina Beltran was another of the members of “Big Brother” who showed her astonishment at seeing an increase of 3,000 pesos in meat in just one week: “The other day it came out seven thousand. What will be happening in the country? ”She asked herself while the rest of the “little brothers” speculated about what the economic scenario would be outside of the bubble in which they are living.
The re-entry of participants who had already been eliminated through A playoff led to the arrival of more accurate information about what is happening outside the house. Thus, now the new policy of the little brothers is to take maximum care of each cigarette, given the rise in their price and what each puff “costs” in isolation.
Between explicit support for Milei, but suffering firsthand from the current economic situation, the little brothers are more politicized than on other occasions. Although the policy of “Big Brother” and Telefe was to avoid current comments, reality hits hard and even penetrates inside the house.
