The reality show in Brazil has become a means of social advancement. Whatever “experiment” the format of the particular program proposes, the bottom line is that the participants are inevitably interested in gaining followers, becoming an Instagram gossip and with it, possibly the joy of giving away a few iPhones under the fans.
This impression becomes clearer when you watch the first four episodes of the third season of Blind Wedding. And the actors’ thirst for fame has a positive effect. So far, at least, it’s the best installment of the national version of the Netflix reality show.
If they were on the BBB they would all be classified as terrible Vtzeiros. They create impactful phrases and try to guarantee screen time in an almost ridiculously forced way.
In the phase of the booths, which justify the name of the show, when the prospective couples converse separated by a wall, it is customary to cling to the screen to “feel” the presence of the interlocutor. This routine is repeated so many times this season that it seems like a parody.
The intensity of positive and negative feelings also seems to be the result of a desire not for another, but for the opportunity to shine in streaming. Only those who form a couple get a spot on the final installment of the reality show. Therefore, one of the greatest perks is falling head over heels in love for no apparent reason.
And there’s nothing wrong with that. The provision of participants guarantees great entertainment, as if it were improv theater with budding influencers performing as amateur actors. Netflix appears to have discovered a blind spot that SATEDRJ can’t fix.
But at the end of the day, participants’ hearts are like Blaze — it’s hard to know who the real owner is. I look forward to the next episodes.
