I am in the mood to write an essay.. What to do? I feel and think so much.. I will get started.. If you are not interested skip to bold below.
I have not seen all the seasons but a couple and sometimes not even all episodes. I am from NL and I know the show by the name Big Brother. So years later, I accidentally found out about Bigg Brother. Being a Salman Khan admiror / fan I thought hey let me watch it. I use the word fan a lot but.. I am nobody's die hard fan. I don't have posters stickers etc etc.
So anyway... Reality TV is something that interest me.. It is not scripted.. People respond the way they do.. Naturally.. And recognizably to us all.. It makes us feel connected to those we are watching.. Voyeurism I suppose..
BB is presented as a game, contestants can win a trophy and price money. A car even.. But it is more than a game alone.. For the viewers it is entertainment.. For the creative and somewhat evil minds behind the scenes, they don't write a word by word script but there is an expectation that within these boundaries and this setting either X, Y or Z will happen.. Or should happen..
To experts or those who are interested in the human psyche, BB and such shows are extremely interesting...! I put myself in this last category the most. After that, I am a viewer who loves to be entertained as well, who wants to feel connected and identity myself with at least one person in the house. How does one act and maintain oneself while being away from loved ones, disconnected with the outside world.. Feelings over loneliness.. How come friendships develop so fast and so tight in BB House.. Why does this house work like a pressure cooker..? What would not bother you in daily life is now troubling you.. And... This is the best one... Whatever in life one was running away from, will be there in the house and will confront that person.. And I just love how they overcome and win on those things, more so than the trophy to be honest... They overcome and win on a personal level, gain love and fame and have bright futures ahead. And... The viewers see and recognize, and can sometimes be triggered and motivated to challenge themselves and become winners in their own life too.. I find it interesting to see why people support their favorites, some start fan wars, but what about who only got to know about their favorite based on BB? I suppose we select our favorite on our own nature or the opposite nature which we might secretly admire a lot.. If I go back in time and see who all I have supported, I can say that I have a type
Watching BB is quite an investment for me in terms of time. Sometimes, I get so addicted that I will sleep less and make time to watch BB, stalk social media and spam here on forum. I like to share and read here on IF. I do not intentionally instigate, set narrative or pick fights nor engage in any.. BB and If for me are strictly fun only! Whoever comes for me, will be left in the cold because I won't entertain that..
So, this is my essay for today.. A nice read for those who are restless and sleepless..
