Another defeat for The Island of the Famous. The 18th edition of the Canale 5 program is achieving increasingly good results disappointingforcing the Mediaset to run for cover. In fact, the reality show will officially be moved to Sunday from May 19th. A rather unusual placement for a television product like the Island, which will therefore no longer be broadcast on Mondays as usual. This Sunday, May 12, in prime time Channel 5 there will be the semi-final of Friendspostponed by one day due to Eurovision. After a week, however, it will be the turn of the Island of the Famous, whose change day seems to have now been made official, as reported by Davide Maggio.
In short, this latest edition of the Island of the Famous it was a real disaster. It must be said, however, that the last television season was particularly difficult for reality. The public seems to be less and less interested in this type of broadcasts, especially over the new lines adopted by Pier Silvio Berlusconi. Following the controversies that arose during the seventh edition of Big Brother VIPthe CEO Mediaset has decided to revolutionize this world by eliminating the quotatrashy‘. However, these changes do not appear to have benefited the program, whose you listen they even decreased compared to the previous year.
Also for the Island of the Famousit was decided to do a complete ‘restoration’, replacing Ilary Blasi with Vladimir Luxuriaveteran of the Island. As commentators, it was decided to use a more classic figure such as the Tg5 journalist Dario Malteseflanked by a ‘peperino’ character such as that of Sonia Bruganlli. But, the experiment didn’t work at all. The ratings of the Island they go down from week to week, bringing home discouraging results.
In reality, the management of the Luxuria doesn’t seem to be the main problem flop of this edition. In reality, the presence of Vladimir It seems to be one of the few working things in the program. For the rest, however, it is better to draw a veil of compassion. Between continuous withdrawals, the Benigno case and the monotony of the live broadcasts, the show just can’t capture the public’s attention. Indeed, according to some rumours, the reality show could move to Channel Nine next year, with Ilary Blasi’s return to hosting. In the meantime, the latest episodes of the Island of the Famous 18 will be broadcast Sunday starting next May 19th.
