• MomenTVs Secret Story Says Enough: "Limits Have Been Overstepped"

  • Television Secret Story gives the chime: the expiation of Telecinco

Rafa

is the winner of

Secret Story

.

He was the winner of

Secret Story

almost since the doors of the

reality show

opened and last night the audience made it a reality with his votes.

There were no surprises, there was no tongo, there was no bombshell:

Rafa, winner

, period.

So far the Secret Story

edition of

anonymous has come and now it's time to take stock, it's time to do self-criticism and it's time to find out what has happened to an edition that the public had been asking

Telecinco

for a long time and that has become the great fiasco of this season .

Perhaps one of the reasons, among many others, was what was the surprise of the night, what

Rafa himself

revealed, which

Carlos Sobera

wanted to quickly cut, which ended up completely sinking

Secret Story

.

Secret Story

had everything to work.

It has had an exceptional casting, with unknown and new profiles, with real players, with anonymous people dedicated to living the experience simply for living it without any further intention.

But a casting is not enough to raise a

reality show

whose first mistake was not letting the viewer breathe.

It was finishing the celebrity edition of

Secret Story

, with a backpack more than full of controversies, and starting the

Secret Story

edition of anonymous people.

Telecinco

does not seem to understand that the viewer gets tired, that the viewer is exhausted, that no matter how much they wanted anonymous

reality

shows and no matter how good the casting was, they have to take a break.

We are going to see the confirmation of this with

Survivors

.

How much audience is

Survivors

going to mark ?

I don't know if it will be historic, but it will lift the crisis that

Telecinco

is going through , for sure.

Why?

Because

Survivors

gives a break, because

Survivors

is an edition every season, because

Survivors

does not burden the viewer with one edition after another, because Survivors creates desire, impatience, need... The mistake, not learning from past failures.

What happened to

Secret Story

and the low audience data that it has registered, in addition to other reasons, has had a very clear reason, a jaded viewer.

I am not talking about the faithful follower of

reality

shows, but about the viewer who sits in his chair at night and chooses to watch

Secret Story

rather than a soap opera or a series without then living constantly aware of what is happening in the house.

That spectator gets tired, exhausted and it is the one who does not have a hard time taking control and saying 'this again?

Do not'.

Change the channel and there is no

reality

anymore .

It happened with The Island of Temptations, it happened whenever

Telecinco

made the decision to burden the viewer with the same thing.

And that the anonymous edition of

Secret Story

started well.

Telecinco

and the producer of

Secret Story

, Zeppelin, learned from the failures of the famous edition.

They changed the voting system and left behind for the first time in the history of a

reality show

the votes by telephone and payment.

They opened voting on the web so that the results would be the real feeling of the audience and not just those who paid indecent amounts for their friend, their boyfriend, their family member to win.

Reality

fans

they were happy and content, but they were wrong again.

The 'bots' took over the votes and one by one they charged the contestants who gave the most games in the house.

The fact that you could vote as many times as you wanted with a simple "clean history" turned that popular sentiment around.

Those who filled the thing for better or for worse were falling and the so-called "furniture" was left, those that go through the

reality show

without pain or glory, those that do not give game, those that with seeing them once you have already seen them all .

The collapse of Secret Story

You just have to see the number of votes last night for a

reality show

with very low audience data.

Carlos Sobera

said

at the beginning of the

Secret Story

finale gala that history was being made by being the most voted finale in the history of a

reality show

with 7 million votes.

Let's see, for God and for the Virgin, 7 million for a

reality show

that has had an average of 12.3% audience share,

1,207,000 viewers

?

There is the proof that free voting via the web must be the real reflection of the majority, but that they are not.

Almost always, because in the case of making

Rafa

the winner of

Secret Story

there are no 'bots' that could have done it.

Rafa has been a fair and deserved winner of

Secret Story

without being the ideal profile to win.

However,

Rafa

's victory also shows that what the viewer is looking for is something different.

The audience is tired of always seeing the same faces, the same profiles, the same personalities, all cut from the same cloth.

The pattern that until recently served and generated an audience, but no longer.

Rafa

was out of the ordinary and, furthermore, he was always the most real, the most sincere, the most like you and me, the one who was least aware of whether the camera focused on him, of if he did this or that he would be seen more or less.

Rafa

went to enjoy, to live

Secret Story

really and it was that naturalness, along with an overwhelming personality, which have made him the winner of

Secret Story

by a landslide and without generating a hint of doubt.

Secret Story

needed a winner like that, the pity is that it will be a forgotten winner, a winner who will go unnoticed through the history of

reality shows

.

Of course it's not his fault.

I don't want to imagine what

Secret Story

would have been like without

Rafa

until the final.

The torpor.

Rafa

is a clear example of the turn that Zeppelin wanted to give to

Secret Story

.

New faces, starting with the presenters -

Carlos Sobera

,

Toñi Moreno

and

Sandra Barneda

- and continuing with the collaborators -

Mario Vaquerizo

or

Eduardo Navarrete

-.

Rafe

It is the example of that transparency that

Secret Story

wanted to establish in its anonymous edition, but that was only a mere intention.

The presenters have shown during the 13 installments of Anonymous

Secret Story

that they were very aware of the opinions of the viewers, of what was moving on Twitter, of what the followers were claiming.

In fact, throughout these weeks, there have been many times that

Toñi Moreno

or

Carlos Sobera

addressed the public aware of what they were asking for or of what could be involved with certain decisions.

Same last night.

Secret Story

wanted to be more transparent, wanted to show that he cared what his audience thought, but the intentions did not last long.

Last night it was the contestants themselves, including the winner himself,

Rafa

, who left

Secret Story

with their ass in the air and at the feet of the horses .

The suspicions that viewers have been denouncing throughout the

reality show

were confirmed last night by

Nissy

,

Adrián

and

Rafa

himself .

Look,

Carlos Sobera

tried to stop it and tried to cut it, but it was impossible.

First it was

Adrián

, third classified in the final of

Secret Story

, the one that confirmed the suspicions we all had about

Nissy

's expulsion .

Nissy

was voted out in a nomination unprecedented in

reality

television history .

After weeks and weeks of monumental fights between

Nissy

and a good part of the house, one Sunday,

Secret Story

decided to place her on the list of nominees.

The following Thursday she was expelled.

Suspicions that

Secret Story

had forced her nomination and then her expulsion fell on

Secret Story

heavily.

Contestants uncover Secret Story

Last night

Adrián

confirmed what the spectators already denounced at that time.

When Adrián arrived on the set after proclaiming himself third finalist, the confrontation with

Nissy

was almost immediate.

He had already said it in the video that Secret Story

showed of the

three finalists reviewing their contest.

Adrian's worst moments on

Secret Story

were with

Nissy

.

As expected, the fight between the two of them was not long in coming.

Carlos Sobera

tried to stop him, but the desire they have for each other prevented him.

In a crossroads of accusations,

Nissy

told

Adrián

that the play had gone wrong and that he had been third, "which hurts a lot."

Adrián responded and released what

Secret Story

wanted to hide at the time: "Do you know when that was? After six people and a psychologist had to come, because it was unbearable to be with you and that's why they expelled you on Sunday. kicked out the show!"

Carlos Sobera

was quick and cut quickly, stating that the program "didn't take out" anyone, but what was said was said.

Secret Story

did not want

Nissy

's relationship with her companions, and vice versa, to cause any puddle that could not be gotten out of later, as has happened in other

reality shows

.

So, according to Adrián,

Nissy

was killed before things could get any worse.

First caught and in the final.

What else could end up finishing off Secret Story?

Well, surprisingly, the winner of Secret Story himself, Rafa.

It was he who, like

Adrián

, confirmed another of the shadows that have been hovering over

Secret Story ,

Adrián

's aggressiveness

.

It was no secret that something had happened to Adrián during his contest, because in one of the galas it was

Carlos Sobera

who addressed the audience to warn that the program could censor images that did not contribute anything, according to the program, or that could do unnecessary damage.

The images were none other than Adrián mad, beating the furniture of the house with wood.

The staunch followers of the program, those of the 24 hours -although the 24 hours is also when

Secret Story

wants-, were the ones who discovered that something had happened.

Suddenly, a broken piece of furniture and injured knuckles,

Adrián

's .

Secret Story

said

nothing, nothing was seen, but if there is something that reality shows have, it is their followers.

Nothing gets away from them and they don't let anyone get away.

Until

Rafa

arrived , until he sat down on the set, until he ran into

Adrián

and discovered the cake, leaving the show that was going to be declared the winner a few minutes later with its ass in the air.

"They reached an extreme situation kicking things and becoming aggressive,"

Rafa

released without being aware that what he had just said was going to end up sinking

Secret Story

.

What was missing.

I'll play devil's advocate and try to understand why

Secret Story

hid those scenes from

Adrián

.

I want to think that it was for no other reason than to protect him and that he tried without the audience being aware of channeling that aggressiveness.

But then we're not talking about a 24-hour

reality show

, we're talking about a staged show where you only see what the show wants you to see.

If they created a nomination for

Nissy

and expelled her because of the tension she was generating in the house, why not with

Adrián

?

They were able to do the same thing without having to show those images, which, indeed, would have been a difficult blow for him to overcome.

But yes with

Nissy

The nomination and his expulsion were removed from the sleeve, why didn't they do the same with

Adrián

?

That is what bursts, what exhausts, what tires the audience, that the same mistakes continue to be made, even if it is done with more nocturnality and treachery than before.

Do we now understand the bad audience data for

Secret Story

?

Except in gala 0 and in another gala,

Secret Story

has marked data below the average of

Mediaset

itself .

For a

reality show

and on Telecinco this is terrible.

It is true that its predecessor, the

famous

Secret Story that

Luca Onestini

won , is not that it did the impressive data of other editions or other

realities

, but nothing to do with the crisis of

anonymous

Secret Story .

I insist, this edition of

Secret Story

has done many things well, from recovering the anonymous, changing the voting format, new faces, and even the interest of the presenters in what the audience says.

But mistakes have been made, not all by

Secret Story

, but by the network as well.

That

Secret Story

serves to discover what is happening, to start over or not to do it again.
