The Evolution of Televoting and Fan Influence in Reality TV
In recent years, reality TV shows like Big Brother have revolutionized viewer engagement through televoting. This interactive element allows fans to directly impact the outcomes, but it also brings challenges and controversies. The episode from Monday’s Big Brother aired on February 24th is a case in point. In this episode, Jessica Morlacchi unexpectedly secured her spot in the final, surpassing Helena Prestes, a beloved contestant.
The Controversy Behind Jessica Morlacchi’s Victory
The unexpected victory of Jessica Morlacchi over Helena Prestes sparked numerous discussions and doubts. Although Morlacchi had a loyal fan base, many viewers speculated that there were irregularities, particularly with votes coming from abroad. By regulation, votes from outside the viewing country should not have been counted.
Big Brother host and former Editor Alfonso discovered shock and confusion about this outcome. Viewers speculated that Morlacchi’s fans, alongside powerful fandoms like Shailenzo and Zelenawho had the sole objective to hinder the path of Helena. Some conspiracy theories suggest that Brazilian fan groups used VPNs and bots to manipulate the voting process.
Helena Prestes, the contestant in question, expressed her frustration over the televote outcome. "I was told that they did not count the votes from abroad, then instead they told me: ‘I can’t tell you’. It matters, it doesn’t matter, then you don’t know. I can’t say other. What did I do wrong not to be a finalist? I don’t know, I’ll have done something maybe. I know it shouldn’t import me, but it’s a question.”
