The drastic changes that the next edition of Big Brother will have to save costs

For the first time in history, the Argentine version landed in Chile, precisely because of the sister signal of Telefe what is Chilevision. It was quite a novelty in the trans-Andean country, since The first live reality show began to be broadcast 24 hours a day, given that all other formats of this style were always previously recorded and widely consumed by the Chilean viewer.

In principle, Big Brother Chile version paramount, He was received lukewarmly until people got to know him and he began to lead the audience. The company’s greed to stand out even more from the competition caused the format to be completely destroyed, just as is happening now in Argentina.

If we compare that version with the one currently being developed in the country, all the same tools were used to stretch it and That was when the ratings began to drop, causing the competition to once again broadcast a classic Chilean reality show that is recorded. This competition meant that this GH Chile did not reach double digits either, with debates that averaged 6 points.

This year, more precisely in July, the Chilean version will be made again, perhaps with the lesson of not breaking the format so much or maybe not. The truth is that this season would bring drastic novelties for an audience that is extremely different in consuming this type of reality show, but also due to the fear that the numbers will be the same as the last edition or much worse.

One of the changes it would bring is that The construction of their own house is void and the facilities in Argentina will continue to be usedwhich will only have minor cosmetic changes.

Another modification is that it would not be broadcast 24 hours a day. and they will apply the methodology of the other reality shows in the country, which are recorded: a canning already edited in Argentina and sent to be broadcast. This will also lower the cost of each broadcast because it would not have the specialized panelists that it did have last season.

Another novelty are the drivers: Diana Bolocco, Cecilia Bolocco’s sister will be left out of driving. The nomination galas will be recorded and the elimination galas will be recorded in the same way, being broadcast on the corresponding days. This will give dynamism to the program because what was criticized on the other side of the mountain range was that the format was slow.

The license owners were also asked to authorize it to be a mixed house of participants, that is, between unknown people and celebrities or former participants of other reality shows.which is the great hook that programs of this style in Chile always have and that was implemented at the time to try to raise the numbers.

Last year, 80% of the posts on social networks were from Argentines who followed the program. Although this is not the priority, Television is business and, like any business, it will be done according to the convenience of the companyin this case paramount.

All these modifications have already been presented to the owners of the format almost a month ago and they will be the ones who give the green light or not, but as we already know, giving the green light or not, the television channels always have their “little tricks” to make or break. the formats as you think of. There are plenty of examples.
