La Granja VIP: Guide to understand the terms of the TV Azteca reality show
'La Granja VIP' started on October 12 and is positioning itself as one of the most watched shows inside and outside of Mexico
La Granja VIP is consolidating itself as one of the most popular and talked about programs on television. Unlike traditional reality shows, which used concepts like "nomination day" or "party with a theme," this format introduces new terminology focused on rural themes, which some viewers may find difficult to decipher.
For that reason, below is a guide to understanding the dynamics of the show.
What are the assemblies?
One of the most important concepts is The Assembly. This is the climax every Wednesday, where all the contestants meet to nominate each other upfront and publicly, without any secrecy.
In this case, the "farmers" explain to the cameras and their peers the reasons why they award two points and one point to their peers. The two contestants who accumulate the most points become the official nominees, in a session that is usually full of complaints and friction.
Unlike other formats such as 'La Casa de los Famosos', in 'La Granja VIP' they can learn the reasons behind their nomination.
What is the schedule for 'La Granja VIP'?
The week on La Granja VIP is meticulously structured around themed days:
The winner not only obtains the role of leader, but also immunity, which exempts them from being nominated that week. The rest of the contestants become farmers or laborers, responsible for farm tasks, such as cleaning and feeding the animals.
In the first week of the program, the foreman was Sergio Mayer Mori. This fact also positioned him among the viewers' favorites, according to comments on social media.
Last Thursday, Eleazar Gomez saved Alfredo Adame and that allowed the actor to continue in the competition.
Through unexpected strategies, new alliances can be formed, deceptions can be exposed, and the course of the game can be completely changed, keeping viewers "on the edge of their seats."
Why is 'La Granja VIP' appealing?
La Granja VIP is capturing the public's attention by eliminating classic elements of other reality shows, such as rooms separated by teams or secret nominations.
Its focus on direct confrontation, hard work and strategic betrayal, all wrapped up in a thematic glossary, results in a television formula that is far from what we've seen before.
