We live in a “magnificent age”, everyone can become a celebrity, regardless of knowledge and skills. Yu-tub, social networks such as VKontakte, Facebook and Instagram, reality shows - all these loopholes are used by young people to get on the screens and get a bit of fame. One of such projects is the show “House 2”, known in all Russian-speaking countries of the former USSR. Despite its popularity, most viewers living where the project is being broadcast are wondering if the broadcast will come to a logical end and when House 2 will be closed.
"Home" - the beginning
To understand the secret to the popularity of this show, let's look at its origins and history. Indeed, in order to find out whether “House 2” will be closed, you need to find out when and why the project was opened.
It started back in 2003 under the name "House", the leader was Nikolai Baskov, then Svetlana Khorkina who replaced him , and Dmitry Nagiev brought the final line. The essence of the show was as follows: hosted couples built a house during the project, which then, by voting of the audience, was to get one of the couples (the winning couple, by the way, refused the house and asked for money instead to open a business).
That project was neither as scandalous nor as famous as the "fellow" who continued it, but the first part gathered enough audience to continue the show. At that time, the producers hadn’t even imagined what momentum the second part of the project would gain and that millions of viewers would be interested when they closed House 2.
To be continued. "House 2"
“House 2” was conceived as a continuation of the first part of the project, but the plot has changed somewhat. 8 girls and 7 guys (single and not in any relationship) also had to build a house, but, besides this, they had the opportunity to build their relationship. The presenters were appointed Dmitry Nagiyev (who later left the show), Ksenia Sobchak and Ksenia Borodina (in 2008 Olga Buzova joined them).
In the first season of the show “House 2”, which started in May 2004, the audience remembered Alena Vodonaeva, Stepan Menshikov, Olga Buzova, Roman Tretyakov, the Sun (Olga Nikolaeva), May Abrikosov, Elena Berkova. And even then questions arose about when they would close House 2. The reason was some scandalous details of the personal lives of the guys, as well as the story of Elena Berkova, who, after the show, starred in erotic films and pornographic films.
New TV Show Format
In the project "House 2" the concept of the show itself was changed. The existing couples from the first “House” were not so interesting to the viewer as the loners who were no longer engaged in building a house, but in building their own relationships. The guys quarreled, reconciled, fell in love with each other and started dating. It was the first series that raised questions about when the House 2 will be closed. The audience was not pleased with many scenes, however, completely ordinary in the life of youth.
By the autumn, the house was built, the guys moved into it from the construction trailers, continued to build relationships, and the presenters each month awarded someone valuable prizes (a trip abroad, a car, an apartment). Old participants left, new ones came - and by 2014, more than 750 people had passed through “House 2”.
Who benefits from the project "House 2"?
People who have become free or involuntary spectators of the “House 2” project are wondering: why should young people participate in such a project and show off their lives? After all, what we see on the screens is called nothing more than “to take dirty trash out of the hut.” When will "House 2" be closed so that this spectacular show will no longer hurt the tender psyche of youth?
In fact, the project is beneficial to everyone. Viewers receive free entertainment, which is much more interesting than television series and soap operas. The creators of the TV show and the owners of the rights to “House 2” earn millions on a highly profitable project, because all they have to do is serve the territories where the children live and pay them a small salary, and the participants themselves arrange a spectacular show for free.
Young people who take part in the project also receive their “piece of cake”. This is money from producers, advertising funds (paid by an army of cosmetologists, pharmacists, store owners to make their products appear on the screen in front of a million people) and the amount that they earn from corporate events and celebrations hosted by fans of the show “ House 2". When they close the project, all these people will be left without work, and therefore they are more interested than others in its infinite duration.
"House 2" as an object of criticism
It is believed that this project does not leave anyone indifferent. He is either watched with pleasure or openly despised and asked the question: “When will they close House 2?” Meanwhile, 2014 was the tenth year of the project on the air, and presenter Ksenia Borodina noted that she hoped that the project would exist until the second zero in the figure 10.
This program has for many years been the object of parodies, jokes, which further adds to its popularity. Most often, the moral decline shown in the TV show is condemned. Indeed, in each issue you can not only see tenderness and kisses, but also become an involuntary witness to a fight, abuse using foul language, scenes of an erotic and sexual nature. In addition, the sheer camera game of the majority of those living in “House 2” is criticized, as for the sake of earning young people are ready to build fictitious relationships and arrange performances to attract viewers. Fans of the show notice that this is enough in ordinary films and television series, so "House 2" is no different from other broadcasts of modern television.
Litigation
In 2005, the first challenge to the project was thrown. The deputy Lyudmila Stebenkova with the commission on youth affairs appealed to the prosecutor's office with a request to close the project with the prosecution of the leading Ksenia Sobchak. The reason for this appeal was the participation in the show of minors (Olga Buzova, who at that time was 16 years old, and seventeen-year-old Rita Agibalova), as well as "exploitation of interest in sex."
After that, the broadcasting time was changed: the morning “House-2 Lite” began to appear at 9.00 instead of 15:30, the usual daytime “House 2. City of Love” - at 23:00, and the evening half-hour “House-2. After sunset ”began broadcasting at midnight.
Long summers of “House 2”
Despite all the vicissitudes, the project continues to exist successfully for 10 years.
All new guys come to try their luck on the show and bask in the rays of glory. All new viewers fall into the network of "House 2" and become regular participants in a multi-million audience. It is difficult to answer the question of when the House 2 will be closed. The exact date is not known to anyone. Why close this Pandora's box, which, many years after the opening, remains popular and discussed?
