This Sunday, Big Brother sanctioned Juliana Scaglione, better known as “Furia”, for the violent argument she had with Mauro Dalessio. The stuntwoman will remain struck down until the end of her stay, although she will gain the benefits of weekly leadership should she win it.
After the announcement, the player acknowledged that the production takes care of her on the one hand (especially after her diagnosis of leukemia), but harms her on the other, since, if the fight was two by two, the young man from Villa Urquiza should also receive a similar punishment.
On social networks, they call her “sick, psychiatric and deranged”, and even ask for her expulsion, but everything remains there, in the meme, the publication, the hatred and the insult. For her part, the channel intends to continue as if nothing had happened, and Juliana is left alone in the eye of the storm.
“This solves it.” Big Brother and psychologists. We have to continue with the gala. This is resolved because it continues (…) The two of them are going to leave if they don’t resolve it like the adults they are. I don’t want to waste any more time with this,” said Santiago del Moro during the program.
In more than 120 programs, “Furia” was on everyone’s lips. Whether because of her successes or her mistakes, her ideas or actions, her way of relating to others, her constant priority of winning the game, her insults or whatever, the young woman is on the rise and there is nothing and no one to stop her. . Why is “Fury” functional to the entire universe of reality?
Big Brother is Nerve, but in real life
In 2016, he released the film Nerve: a game without rules. Actress Emma Roberts plays a young woman who, pressured by her friends, signs up for a virtual reality game to complete challenges for fame and money.
At the beginning, her intentions are to show everyone that she can take risks and experience a moment of adrenaline, but as the challenges become more and more daring, the situation becomes sinister and puts her life in danger.
(spoiler alert) Towards the end, the young woman appears in an arena where she comes face to face with the boy who accompanied her in all the challenges (starring Dave Franco) and they have to kill each other. When she refuses, another player comes in and asks people to vote to take her place.
With the yes of everyone present, the young man shoots the girl and immediately everyone sees a sign with his real name and the phrase: “You were an accomplice to a homicide.”
The arena soon becomes empty and the application is uninstalled en masse. In the end, the teenager wakes up alive and proves that it was all part of a plan to end the game.
Big Brother is Nerve, But in real life. “Puma” Goity himself already put it into words on another occasion: “The poor and innocent people who are there. They don’t make characters, they are real people (…) They leave everything… They destroy them in pursuit of ‘so much shampoo’. The other day I saw a scene where they are arguing ‘for real’, because they are not acting, and they focused on the shampoo I don’t know how much, which is the sponsor. It’s awful!”.
Just as in the game, each and every one of the viewers is complicit in what happens on the Telefe screen, but since “Furia” is the goose that lays the golden eggs, of the production and of the people, no one dares to stop it.
Morbidity is the main driver of all this and generates an almost addictive adrenaline.
The reaction to the confinement, that mystery
They are people who entered a house with more than 60 cameras recording daily. They are people who, like many others around the world (we must not forget that the contest is international), knew at least partially the consequences of their entry into the competition. reality.
But what no one knows is how far their minds can go with the confinement. The infinite possibilities and a claim to absolute freedom seduce players and spectators alike, and they themselves get on the wheel and spin it non-stop. Violence escalates to unthinkable limits, videos are played non-stop, memes explode… in effect: “cinema”, as they say now on the networks.
He rating It is above the numbers of the other channels; The word “Furia” is a daily trend on social networks and search engines; he streaming it gets millions of views; Satellite programs are filled with panelists giving their opinion about Fury, criticizing it or showing compassion, as appropriate; the little brothers and ex-brothers, the more they name her, the more they focus on her; the fandoms They attack each other, emanating the same violence that they receive; brands continue to set standards; The virtual wallet continues to grow. If something happens to the player, the cell phones turn off and nothing happened here, just as it happened in the film cited above.
Fury, the cause or the consequence?
At what point did we get to this? I believe that the context of generalized violence that has existed in Argentina for a long time, and that was exacerbated during the presidential election process, produced the breeding ground where characters like “Furia” are born every day. Therefore, she is not to blame for all evils.
Nobody can deny that Juliana is the most daring and intelligent player of the last two editions. She is agile and competitive, reality raw, and generates profit for everyone, but at the cost of herself and the mental health of all those who see her through the screen.
The production asked him if he wanted to continue. She said yes, it is her dream, her body and her decision at the end of the day. But how far is she willing to go? Or rather, how far are we willing to let it go?
“Never forget that this is a television program,” said Santiago del Moro yesterday when the people in the studio started shouting all kinds of atrocities. But does everyone really understand what that means?
The contest is based on the feelings of real people. How fine is the line between fiction and reality?
