- The 50-year-old reality TV commentator addresses the thorny issue of the program’s unexciting share
- TO Casa Chi she also talks about Angelo Madonia, with whom she was caught in Palma de Mallorca and then in Rome
Sonia Bruganelli is never afraid to give her opinion. Guest at Casa Chi the 50 year old has his say on the low ratings recorded byIsland of the Famous by Vladimir Luxuria. The reality TV commentator tackles the thorny topic of the programme’s unexciting share. “Reality TV fans want to see blood”, points out. The public would have felt, therefore, ‘betrayed’.
“Reality TV can’t be elegant. The methods, the intentions, the way of making a reality show can be more or less engaging, more or less attentive to the tone, but reality is not. Things have certainly happened that were probably done in a way that was more careful not to offend the presumed sensitivities of those at home… But we are realizing that reality TV fans have a particular characteristic: they want to see blood. But they want to see it when it’s there and it’s real. Because viewers understand when the dynamics are fake. However, when situations are real, you have to focus on them”explains Paolo Bonolis’ ex-wife.
The producer adds: “The Island is a complicated reality showthere is also difficulty in measuring oneself in ways, because there is no mirror. Big Brother is different, the boys spent 23 hours looking at themselves in the mirror and in the meantime they moved and lived. There is nothing here, so sometimes when one is ugly in the way of even attacking the other, at the GF you look at yourself and stop, at L’Isola this possibility doesn’t exist. In my opinion this is strength and in my opinion this must be ridden. We shouldn’t be afraid of people who become less beautiful. Because we are making them brutalized and the brutalization is a brutalization across the board”.
For Sonia, the choice not to immediately show the images of the clash between Francesco Benigno and Artur Dainese was probably not correct. “We were not ready for a reaction, which was certainly not a nice reaction, that of Francesco. However the public may have felt a little betrayed from that point of view. From the series ‘why do you decide when and whether to show us those things?!’“he specifies.
“In my way of seeing reality TV there was an excessive fear of being annoying with images. So from an editorial point of view they made the decision… – Bruganelli clarifies again – Perhaps the public didn’t like it from the start and now they have to trust it. Now the line is more engaging again, but viewers must realize that the desire to tell the story has changed a little. Then Francesco’s scene came after not only physical things, but verbal and behavioral ones. Not nice things.”
Sonia also talks about the paparazzi in which she is with Angelo Madonia, a 39-year-old dancer from Dancing with the Stars: “What was I doing in Palma de Mallorca with a dancer? Only one? In reality there were two, not only was Angelo there, there was also Alessandro Boero (his assistant, ed.). What do you want to know, why was I there with him? If the heart is a dancer? I, like Joe Bastianich, am also going to be an entrepreneur abroad. As an entrepreneur I moved around the Spanish world. No, I’m not opening a dance school. If you have followed the Island, I have given some opinions on the dance, so obviously there will be something, I’m talking about future projects”. She ends it here, effectively denying a possible liaison.
