After Deolane Bezerra’s family raided the area around A Fazenda in the last edition of the reality show, Record invested in more protection for the program. The head of the channel’s reality center, Rodrigo Carelli, admitted that he had changed security measures to avoid confusion such as that created by the exconvicts’ sisters in order to free them from custody.
“All safety protocols have been enhanced. Every season we have to improve, we discover new things and this time the security system is significantly improved,” explained the director, emphasizing the word “very”. “But I can’t say what the protocols are, otherwise people will find out,” he explained at a press event hosted by A Fazenda TV news took part.
In the last edition, Carelli also had to deal with participants who triggered threats, fights that almost escalated into actions, and even expulsions in the case of Tiago Ramos and Shayan Haghbin. He explained that it was impossible to predict participants’ behavior, but that the surprises of each edition brought new learning.
“I always say that whoever does it only knows what is happening. So we always have something that has never happened before that is going to happen now that we have to adapt to and learn for next time,” the director added.
He even dismissed allegations that management lacked a firm grip on curbing psychological manipulation and more serious altercations in the show’s last edition. “I think there is disappointment, reaction, it’s valid. But it is clear that there is no such rule, this contract.” [que determina que]if you go above and beyond in your speeches, you will [ser expulso]. There is no way for us to determine this for the person,” he defended.
“When it comes to prejudice, racism or ageism and you bring it up, that’s important because a lot of people don’t know what that is and how to communicate. Fazenda has the rules, it has the public, it has the brand.” “There is the moderator, there is the management and there is them. What they are doing here is a reflection of what we live, it is a mirror, it is a real soap opera,” added presenter Adriane Galisteu.
Fazenda 15 begins this Monday (18) with the announcement of the Paiol participants and the opening of voting on which four farmers will definitely be included in the program.
