The whistle has blown and it’s over for Survivor and MasterChef

The most popular reality show on Greek television this year has started with the best of promise survivor In Skai and chef On Star, however, things didn’t seem to go well, or at least as the producers and channel executives expected.

the Survivor All-Star formed one promising projectNot just during the start of his first season, but early on. In other words, since previous years, every time Survivor was completed, viewers asked for this, and only that, with the best of the best. Discussions were held, rumors were heard, and each time the idea was stretched until it was finally realized.

Despite the “grumpiness” that existed at the beginning, about the fact that teams were missing out on the names of important players, while other indifferent people got their “ticket” to participate, adapt the world in data and start enjoying, sharing and supporting it. Along the way, however, series of “hits”led to Alienation of the television audiencewhile turning the survival program into one that seems already finished.

It all started with her The first chapter for playerswhich was considered among the best in the game, and Katrina Dalaka And Asimina Hatzendriou. The information stated that a mobile phone was used, which is expressly prohibited and previously agreed between the production and the players, that would not be accepted under any circumstances. The crowd was already starting to freak out, while he came a little later Voluntary withdrawal to Shiza will comelast year’s winner of Survivor, which added to the tension, while we also had a voluntary departure at the start of the program, Frisidas Andrioto (In the first 10 days!).

the New additions Of the players who didn’t manage to “save” them and several except her Eureka Peledas, whose career ended so ingloriously the previous season. However, even if there was some excitement, it didn’t last long, ever since it came kick him outalong with Elias Gutsi. Two strong players, favorites of the reality show (potential 1st winner and 2018 second winner), found themselves out of the reality show, citing mobile phone use, but also illegal foraging.

This is probably the first time we’ve seen it Group separation and continuous departure (Since other times, production has been limited to penalties), and indeed in Survivor it’s considered an all-star. All this spoiled the mood of the television audience, while greatly dismantling the project itself. At the same time, there was an even bigger blow All that appeared regarding violations of the regulations which was also held in previous seasons. Behind-the-scenes videos from locals, delivery receipts, letters to relatives in Greece, footage of players eating…

These revelations, combined with persistent complaints from players (former and current) of both infractions and The climate of cannibalism, betrayals and “trampling on dead bodies” tactics On this year’s Survivor, to its final disassembly. Obviously, audiences knew there were strategies in this type of reality show, but everyone seemed to finish the season — the contestants and the production.

In general, something is wrong and it shows. But the more they underestimate it, the lower the numbers will be. No matter how much hair she pulls, the audience will continue to lose interest. Unless they actually decide (because of the “All Star” project) that this will be their last, and that they don’t care if everything goes well from now on, just to spend the season.

developed in a similar way Masterchef 7, the other big reality show on Greek TV. He also seemed to have lost the “game” a long time ago, and the public interest was very low. Last year, the popular cooking competition “slipped” somewhat, while this year, before it was first launched, decision-makers made it clear that The seventh season will also be the last.

The changes introduced this year by the production, in order to make the reality show more interesting and somehow renew the project, did not bear fruit. region To join as new players are some of the contestants from previous seasons – The so-called “Invaders” – at first excited the scientist, who had the opportunity to once again enjoy some of his loved ones, however, later it turned out that even this was not able to captivate the viewers. It’s like reheated food, with characters who really did their part.

From an interesting and stylish – compared to others – high-profile reality show that was in previous years, he became MasterChef definition of “discharge”. Foods, flavors, and cooking information are now downplayed, as players plunge into a race for the worst insults, while references to betrayal, backstabbing, and bad behavior are a give and take.

At the same time, The three chefs – the judgeswhich is one of the best trios on Greek television, seems to have lost its sparkle, freshness and rhythm, although it maintains its chemistry. Overall, this year’s MasterChef seems to be over before it even begins, while once again we see it seem like a foregone conclusion that the goal is just to get the season out.

The television audience may be tired of the same thing or tired of the same thing A lot of “reality” these reality shows have this year. It might also be the case that they just don’t “check out” as projects anymore and need a break, since the Greek novel has been gaining traction in the past three years anyway. What is certain is that something is wrong, which is also reflected in the viewership numbers of the two programmes, which are relatively low, while in the 30s. However, Sasmus overtakes them almost every night.
