Some angry viewers even flooded Gin Tuan Kiet's personal page to attack because this actor had not been eliminated.
This may be part of the script that the producers of shows like Brother Says Hi or Brother Overcame Thousands of Thorns anticipated.
When the Labor reporter asked MC Thanh Trung about what he would think if he was eliminated early in "My Brother Overcame Thousands of Thorns", Thanh Trung said: "I'm an MC, compared to my vocal ability, my ability to listen, I'm good. Musical thinking, I certainly can't compare to professional singers. It's understandable that I was eliminated early."
Thanh Trung also admitted that because he works in the MC field (hosting television shows), Thanh Trung does not have a "fan club" (fan audience group), nor does he have much time to meet fans and communicate. Saved with fans... So his popularity and personal name recognition are also lower than many other artists.
Therefore, Thanh Trung said: "I participate in the game, I accept the rules of the game. If I'm eliminated, I'm completely happy with that."
The question is, why is a factor who knows he will be eliminated early like MC Thanh Trung present in The Brother Who Overcame Thousands of Thorns? Because, each character coming to reality TV has their own "role", they have their own mission and tasks, and will be eliminated in the exact episode where they need to be eliminated.
Like the 6 singers and actors who were just eliminated in "My Brother Says Hi", despite causing fierce controversy, that is the necessary scenario of a reality show.
The audience expressed outrage when Cong Duong and Nicky - who performed very well in the million-view performance "Catch me if you can" - had to leave while lackluster players like Gin Tuan Kiet remained.
Because, Gin Tuan Kiet has his own "role" and acting space in My Brother Says Hi. Gin Tuan Kiet brings special charm to the show from his bright appearance to his marriage story with comedian Puka. From his advantages, Gin Tuan Kiet will have a certain "rating" value to not be eliminated.
Even with 6 names eliminated, Cong Duong and Nicky are still showing off their "acting ground", causing controversy.
When surrounded by controversy but still gaining traction, reality TV shows like My Brother Says Hi must face the question, do they need to create controversy to attract audiences and create discussion? discuss and debate on social networking forums, which will add more ratings (viewer index) for the next episodes?
VICE media channel talked to a producer (requested to remain anonymous) who has 10 years of experience in the Australian reality television industry, and received confirmation that reality shows always create create a script that can lead and manipulate the audience's psychology.
This producer said that, when coming to reality TV, each contestant has a certain number of loving audiences, but whether they stay or leave depends entirely on the producer's intentions.
The audience at the studio is introduced as people who have "the right to live and kill" in their hands, the right to choose, the right to eliminate contestants... However, who created this group of audiences? Who chooses them so they can enter the studio and become a powerful "force" on the show? It's the manufacturer.
In 2023, the show "Beautiful Girl" (purchased production rights from China) when it aired, caused a storm in public opinion because of the revelations of the results and endless arguments surrounding "who goes, who stays". .
In fact, it is these controversies that have created great attraction for the show "Beautiful Sister riding the wind and waves", from the time it aired until it ended. The attraction was so great that, soon after, a series of shows "Brother" was produced.
