Big Brother’s Bad Move!
[ad#Google Adsense End of Post]
I’ll be off my topic this time, this is not my delight, I am angry about this and it really pissed me off!
Bad move! Bad move! That’s what I said when I saw a TV Commercial about this Philippine reality show. I don’t watch it every evening, but when I saw the preview during the commercial break, I can’t help myself not to react. There’s this new couple assigned to a weekly task, the task is about pretending not to be a couple inside the house. The twist is the wife will have a new husband, this new husband will pretend that he is the one married to her. They have agreed on the task, but Big Brother want them to be more convincing. They should be sweet to each other, cuddling each other and all of these are seen by the REAL husband.
Flashback: The real husband used to have another girl when his wife is still in Spain. That made their relationship weak, and the wife lost all of his trust. I guess with this kind of task, the real husband will know the feelings of his wife during the days he still with someone else.
But wait, that is a reality show and I get the point of the task, but I think they are so insensitive about it. YOUR PROGRAM WAS TELEVISED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! Children saw it, too! Where are your values?? You allow them to see that kind of your “TRUST -TESTING TASK” while you see someone really hurt and cannot stand it anymore. MTRCB wake up! Show Organizers wake up! Have you reviewed all of your plans for the show?
That’s torture! What would you feel if you see your wife with someone, doing stuffs only couples will do, only a real husband can do? And all of it was also seen by your viewers nationwide! Be sensitive, you want ratings that’s why you added twist to it? Where are your Christian virtues? Big Brother seemed like a god inside the house that once you can’t pass his task or test, you’ll be evicted, is that your kind of game?
I just felt happy when the real husband can’t take it anymore, he confessed to all of his housemates. Even I will do the same thing, it might be a test but it’s very insensitive, to the housemates involved and to the viewers especially to the YOUNG VIEWERS that watched you show. Don’t tell me that because you indicate “PARENTAL GUIDANCE” during the show will be enough, think!

You are over thinking it mate…
Hate has blocked plugged your mind…
By doing the task it does test their trust and also show not just the three people involve but also the people watching, that cheating on your partner will eventually hurt not just your partner but also yourself…
The fake husband… also cheated on her wife… his task was to learn to avoid temptation… he promised to her wife that he would be a good boy… and he really did well control his mind and feeling… The real couple also tighten their marriage because of this task… The wife saw the regret her husband is feeling about what he did to her… He can really feel that he love her… and therefore forgiveness…

Yes I know your point, my comment will be the same as what I said to Kevin Paquet. Thanks for commenting.Peace po, wag tau away, hehe

I agree with you! I have been talking about that task with my friend and I get toooooo affected by it (not with the situation) but the fact that they are showing this on NATIONAL TV. I’ve been looking for MTRCB’s reaction too.
Media has gone all the way sending message to viewers, specifically young viewers very careless.
If i’d be a parent, i wouldn’t allow my children watch that show.
Thank you for this blog. I finally found someone who shares the same thinking.
Nanged you and clicked your ads btw.

You can’t say shit about it, because the couple along with Patrick agreed to do the task. If you didn’t notice, you could actually take some valuable lessons from what happened in the PBB House related to the tasks, some which we don’t want to realize at some point.
You can say what you want, but it all boils down that THEY AGREED DO TO THE TASK, and no one can say shit ’bout why things turned that way.

Thanks for commenting, I expected these different reactions will appear on this post. Yes I get your point that THEY ALL AGREED ON THE TASK, I know you read the whole post, and if you will notice that I reacted not only to the task but also to the sensitive issue that children also watch it too. Virtue, values that’s what is important. Peace po!

If you think that I am angry, I’m surely not, just got a bit carried away by another problem that I have (here).
Don’t forget that the show is rated PG, and its up to the parents if they let the kids watch or watch not. Values start at home, and parents should act if they see something invaluable or insensitive that their kids shouldn’t see on television.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:28 am
Not that I’m defending the show, but hey, the show has been placed at a late time. (it may have other commercial/rating wise reasons), but that’s one clue that (most) children should be in bed already. And also an alert that shows around that time are really in need of Parental Guidance. I salute you for noticing the insensitivity of the show, but there’s really nothing that you can throw against them. Nothing.
PG – says it all. Parents are responsible too.

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy yesterday, I’m out of town. Yes I get your point that parents should be responsible, but let’s face it, nowadays you can see parents watching the same shows their children watch. Also there is an early time of the show at studio 23, I think it’s 6 pm. Putting all the blame to the parents is not a good justification, in reality parents really can’t keep an eye to their children. I know you get my point and I also get yours. Hirap mag English haha! peace ulit

I think kevin is right… the parents should be responsible ’bout this..

It’s a supreme test of their trust to each other to test their relationship which underwent some trouble before.
It’s definitely hard but if they can surpass it, that’s how they strong they knew each other as a couple.

Yup I do agree, but there are other things that can prove someone else’s trust. The insensitivity just took place when this nasty kind of their so called KUYA can’t think of a better gimmick.
October 18th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Pag sinabi kase nating kids, di na kase totally na bata. Kasama na rin yung mga teenager dun, and masamang example yung ginawa sa PBB. Dapat pinag aaralan muna ng MTRCB yan bago e televised….

October 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Siyang tunay tama k jan bro, isipin mu n lang, pati ung mga biyenan nila napapanuod sila those times. The worse is ung lahat ng kamag anak nakita p yung gnun, parang insulto di ba.

Finally, someone with an opinion. I was just talking about this with another friend of mine two days ago. My word was “insensitive” yes I think I said that of the producers and writers of that reality TV show. I can’t begin to expound on it. It’s just so insensitive of them. Makes you rethink of joining it in the first place. The worst part is that insensitivity is brushing off on the viewers, especially the patrons. Soon, the show will be producing insensitive members of society. And, they are shocked by the turnout of dead people in their noontime TV show? I can’t reconcile the insensitive writing with the relief goods being given away by the same people behind the show. Ratings is still a business thing lest they’ve misled people into thinking that they are a charity organization.

@Semidoppel,
Amen lang talaga. haha I have nothing more to add eh. Sinabi niya na lahat eh. haha!
@SPP,
I don’t think you get the whole point of running a reality show. You’re taking it literally.
I don’t totally agree with “scripted” as a word to describe the show.
The idea is to allow the performers/contestants to act and react as normally as possible to any given scenario or in this case, the tasks given by “Big Brother”.

Ang ayoko lang kasi hindi na ang housemates ang lumilikha ng sarili nilang istorya o kapalaran sa loob. Si Kuya na.

All I can say is that the guys behind this TV show should really snap back to reality. And speaking of reality, you know what? Snapping back to reality is that time of our life when we’re facing such a huge burden and the right way to settle it is by being mature.
Grabe naman. Wala naman silang alam sa nanyari sa magasawa. Siyempre kung ako yun, madi-disappoint ako sa asawa kong na kakabit sa ibang lalaki, na alam niya naman kung gaano kasakit yung naramdaman niya nung nagawa ko yun sakanya. And do mind that at this point, we’ve already settled things, so she doesn’t really have to do that anymore. Maging fake pa man yun, she should have still considered my feelings..
^^ By the way, example lang yan. Walang nanyaring ganyan sa buhay ko. Hehehe!
I just hope – really hope – na may maging kasing influencial na program laban dito sa “PBB” na to para malinawagan ulit ang mga audience kung ano nga ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ng maging isang Pinoy.
