I really want to ignore the human experiment we watched on Thursday as part of an entire production putting in tremendous effort to work on a tenant who would react the same way even if they were told not to say the word “puppy” within the walls of the house anymore, but I feel the subject is grounded from all directions I will conclude with one word: disgrace. Well, here’s a few more words: This was the most tedious and unnecessary task in the history of “The Brother,” which did nothing but increase the frequency of Josie’s potential anxiety attacks. Could it all have been a secret psychologist’s conspiracy in the fireplace house? We’ll wait and see.

These moments are relevant and important, especially these days, but (!) The way the production deals with them is far from ideal.
The focus should be on the moment of the explosion itself, on the tenants’ coping with the situation and especially on the message and response to these behaviors. The big brother must, whenever such an event happens, concentrate the tenants and convey a sharp and smooth message that such statements and actions will no longer be accepted in the home. There is no added value in presenting more and more shocking reactions (justified as they may be) on the part of the tenants, if this is repeated again in the next episode, and wins the same stage that once entertained and made us laugh, and today mainly causes us to cringe uncomfortably on the couch. This is exactly the place that can inspire change, and you do not need any fortune cookie or gold card for it.
Yehuda Yitzhakov, The Big Brother (Photo: Screenshot)To sum up last night’s episode, from here to there, the only tenants left in the house are Almog, Karin and Zehava – a real “trio of what’s related”. Yes, it turns out that an epidemic has attacked the house, and its symptoms are the eviction of significant and intriguing tenants one after another. It started of course in a wave, last week, continued with Noa Yonni’s surprise dismissal (not surprisingly because she was fired – but because again, Ophir manages to survive the eviction and stay home. And yes, I checked and there is a tenant by that name) About me, and from the units ever that really made me take out my cell phone and vote for it, as if it was a Star Born 2 final and it was a battle of Harel against Harel.
Linor Sabinik, Big Brother (Photo: Network 13)This may sound surprising, but Linor’s dismissal, given the recent events at home, can only do Remy good. For those who missed it: Remy has lost it in the last two weeks – from his obsession with Linor’s sympathetic attitude towards Judah to his unfortunate attack on Daniel, when he dared to talk to Linor while the former wanted to continue cuddling with her in bed. Remy builds for himself with his own hands the image of an aggressive and domineering tenant, and it will take a lot of effort on his part (and on the part of the production, of course) to shed a different light on him. Meanwhile, Linor’s dismissal, despite and perhaps because of being his only support in the home, will force him to behave differently and this may be his turning point in the home.
Rami Vered Big Brother (Photo: Screenshot)If I try to distill everything I think about this season so far, the main problem with it is that it just stopped entertaining us. Watching it is not fun: it is annoying, exhausting, tiring and annoying – and in the reality in which we live, we are already seventy of these feelings. Enough, already tired of getting upset. After all, “Big Brother” used to be a funny show, and not just laughing at the nominees, an invested show (remember Jackie Ashkara flew on a mission in Spain in season 3?) It is inevitable to admit that the reasons to watch simply diminish from moment to moment.
