Olta Gixhari has shared her thoughts on Instagram regarding the "Big Brother VIP" finale, where in a showdown between her sister, Gerta Gixhari, and Rozana Radi, the latter secured a place in the final. Olta touched on a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly present on social networks: the way the public reacts to winners and losers.
"I have noticed a strange phenomenon among Albanian youth. Why do I say among Albanian youth? Because mostly this kind of phenomenon, so sudden, has started to happen on social networks. This 'outcry', this revolt of Albanian youth, happens because those who comment are very young. It happens precisely on Instagram," she said.
Further, Olta raised a question: "How is it possible that we do not agree on a winner? It surprises me a lot. In every competition, the one who wins is the 'bad guy', and the one who loses is the 'good guy'. Of course I am referring to Big Brother."
Taking the Gerta-Rozana confrontation as an example, she added: "Gerta loses, everyone is with Gerta, like never before. I am very happy about this. But, Gerta does not need noise on Instagram, she needs votes. And the votes showed something else. So, this noise on Instagram, suddenly, does not translate into votes. I am very sorry about this, and I can count you several other completely opposite cases."
Further, she mentioned the case of Egli: "Egli was at home: 'We don't want him, get him out!'" Egli came out: "The whole of Albania rose up: 'We want Egli! Bring Egli back! There's no point in playing without Egli!'" Egli was brought in: "Why did he come in? We didn't want him!"
She continued with a clear call to the public: "Please vote! Decide who you want in the final, but don't hate the one who wins. What is the fault of the poor guy who wins with our votes?"
Olta expressed concern that the same thing could happen to Gerta. "I'm afraid it will happen like with the other finalists. Gerta could win against Egli and then be hated. They will say: 'Why didn't Egli win? Why not Danja?'"
"We love each other so much when we see her lose, when we see her crushed, when we see her sad. But when she shines, we don't love her anymore. […] I want you to love my sister even when she wins, not just when she loses. I want you to love and respect her for who she is, for the way she played. The vote is very important, it's not the noise on Instagram," she concluded.
