Susanna Riva During the episode of Big Brother VIP broadcast on Friday, November 6th, Parma-born actor Alex Belli was unexpectedly eliminated. The result overturned predictions that had him among the safest contestants, immediately generating a wave of shock across social media. After the results were announced, Belli didn't just say goodbye to the house; he also decided to leave the studio live, creating one of the most talked-about moments of the entire season.
The televoting that overturned the predictions
The vote count was decisive: Andreas Müller survived with 36,74% of the vote, followed by Giulia Provvedi (23,45%) and Valeria Marini (19,99%). Alex Belli, on the other hand, recorded a 19,82% approval rating, enough to knock him out of the running.
These data showed a clear split between the public, who favored the more traditional contestants, and a segment of fans who saw Belli as a more dynamic candidate.
The reactions on social networks
Immediately after the announcement, several well-known faces from the entertainment world expressed their disbelief. Tina Cipollari commented on X: “I can't believe it, Alex is out.
No Big Brother, I'm leaving." Stefania Orlando wrote: "I can't believe they saved Giulia and the Man left. I'm shocked." Francesco Oppini added: "Alex Belli's elimination from Big Brother VIP is equivalent to sinking an already very controversial edition." The statements underlined the perception of an "unfair" vote by many viewers.
The escape from the studio and the live reactions
The climax was Belli's abrupt exit from the studio. After greeting host Ilary Blasi and commentators Cesara Buonamici and Selvaggia Lucarelli , the actor stood up, kissed the host's hand, and declared that he didn't want to stay to comment on "these predictable dynamics." Then, without waiting for further prompting, he turned and walked offstage. Blasi, visibly stunned, commented live: "He lost his temper and ran away, saying we're all boring." Her attempt to stop him was in vain.
The opinions of the commentators
Cesara Buonamici expressed surprise, calling it "an unusual gesture." Selvaggia Lucarelli, on the other hand, showed a certain complicity, stating: "This was his last theatrical coup. He had to go out this way." Jonathan Kashanian, present in the studio, reported that shortly before, Belli had confided in him his intention to leave the stage, explaining that he didn't want to participate in a discussion he perceived as "obvious."
An episode already experienced and future prospects
This isn't the first time Alex Belli has questioned the format. A few weeks earlier, during the nominations, he threatened to leave, angered by the way the house was handled. At the time, he temporarily fled the house, only to return shortly thereafter. This latest departure, however, comes in full view of television, marking a more marked turning point. Some commentators are wondering whether his absence is permanent or whether he'll return to the studio in future episodes, but for now, viewers are left with bated breath and waiting for further developments.
