Philip Imundi Big Brother VIP really heated up in the last episode aired yesterday, November 13, with a sudden and heated argument between the host, Ilary Blasi, and the commentator Selvaggia Lucarelli. After all, there has never been any love lost between the two, and some situations tend to accentuate their differences in character and vision regarding the themes of the episode.
Selvaggia Lucarelli and Ilary Blasi argue: "Side with the youth."
The episode heated up when Selvaggia Lucarelli defended Megan Rea because she had done something wrong in the kitchen—she defrosted some obviously spoiled meat—at which point Lucarelli defended Rea, explaining that "at 20, she didn't even know how to lay two eggs."
At that point Blasi blurted out , claiming that she always takes the side of young people. Lucarelli, however, didn't take it lying down and retorted, " Do you want to argue with me? " He then doubled down, also citing Cesara Buonamici, who defends the older ones.
At the end of the episode, the tension between the two hadn't eased at all. In fact, when it was time to say goodbye, Blasi also said goodbye to Lucarelli, who, seeing her tense face, asked her: "Are you angry?" to which she replied, "Yes, quite so."
Selvaggia Lucarelli has responded to what happened with Ilary Blasi, here is her version
Just a few hours after the live broadcast where the argument between Lucarelli and Blasi took place, Lucarelli herself wanted to clarify the situation by explaining her point of view on the matter, which had already been the subject of immediate discussion online.
“ Nothing special happened . When I spoke up, I was told I was too biased, and I didn't quite understand why I shouldn't take someone's side if I'm there to express my own personal opinions. My bias in this edition is, at best, simply defending those who are less popular and less popular. I don't get any benefit from it. […] The host does what she wants and takes the show wherever she wants, of course,” he concluded with an invitation to continue following the show. “We are soldiers and humble servants of this great company that is Big Brother, and Big Brother is the program of good humor .”
Selvaggia 's message aims to smooth over any tension that has arisen and to send any accusations back to the sender, explaining that these are episode dynamics and that each episode is ultimately different from the previous one, while also making it clear that Ilary, as host, pushes on topics that lead the audience to interact as is normal in a live programme.
