- Director Lauren Dyogi explained that Pinoy Big Brother is not an ‘artista’ search.
- He said that the only reason why housemates have showbiz careers is that of the fans’ demand.
- Lauren also said that to be a “Big Winner” does not require good looks and talents.
Many believed that to be invited to the Pinoy Big Brother house is a one-way ticket to having a showbiz career; it ultimately defeats the concept and fact that it is a “reality show” not an “artista search”. This is what director Lauren Dyogi is here to put a stress and remind everyone.
The director explained that PBB is not there to look for the next celebrity. Those who had showbiz careers after leaving the house were only given the opportunity due to the fans’ clamor. But, not all of them ended up with the same fate.
“It’s a reality show that has a capacity to make stars out of its housemates. Depende sa suporta ng ating manonood.
“Dahil din sa ating mga manonood. Sila po ang tumatangkilik, ‘yon pong tinatangkilik ng karamihan, ‘yon po ang naiiwan sa show business. Sila ang nabibigyan ng pagkakataon,” Lauren explained.
According to the director, “Being a ‘Big Winner’ doesn’t require good looks and talents. The housemates are being judged by ‘Magandang pagkatao na puwedeng hangaan ng mga manonood’.
“Naglalagay ho kami ng mga ordinaryong mga tao vis-a-vis, katabi ng mga mukhang artistahin.
“Kaso po ang naalala po ng karamihan ay iyong mga artistahin. Siyempre po sila ‘yong naiiwan sa show business, sila ‘yong visible so sila ‘yong naaalala.”
There were previous PBB housemates who were successfully blessed up with showbiz careers while others returned to their old lives.
