And precisely the most important question Omar Jordani "forgot" to ask Diane Schwartz

The interview that was broadcast on the most prestigious slot of News 13 (why, actually?!) could only have been justified if he had dared to criticize not only Schwartz but also and especially the program in which she participated

Diane Schwartz Big Brother (News 13)

Watching the interview with the model and former resident of the "Big Brother" house Diane Schwartz, which was broadcast last night on Network 13, raised several questions.

The first of them is - "Why?"

His placement in one of the channel's leading newscasts and not, for example, in "The Tube" with Guy Lerer raised questions, does it have real news value beyond the gossip item?

The answer became clear already in the first minutes of the interview - no.

Despite the serious facial expressions of the interviewee and the interviewer Omar Yardani, the conversation between the two remained flat and failed to reach deeper levels (assuming there are any).

News considerations aside, when a channel that for years lags behind in the ratings data manages to produce a talked about reality season like the current season of "Big Brother", the temptation to leverage the success turns out to be too great and thus finds itself a yellow-tinged interview that Besket 12 would probably broadcast on "Arab Tov" With Guy Pines, closing the Shabbat news (and of course leading to another episode of "The Big Brother").

Schwartz is a classic reality "villain".

During her weeks in the "Big Brother" house, she managed to systematically quarrel with all the residents of the house - from Kazem (mocked him for being rejected by his family), through Bar (underestimating her parenting abilities), to her partner Nathaniel (she gaslighted him from the books).

I won't fall out of my chair if it turns out that there were also props and flower pots that she managed to damage, because even if you take into account the undoubted power of editing, Diane's behavior was terrible.

Already in her identity card it was clear that this was the style character Regina George (the heroine of the cult movie "Bad Girls") - a very beautiful girl who is used to turning everyone around on her little finger and sadistically enjoys the suffering of others.

Somewhere along the way things seem to have gotten out of control, the "big brother" (program editor Roy Oz) did not resist the temptation and most of the episodes consisted of scenes of Diane behaving in a bullying manner and causing the other tenants to have a nervous breakdown.

More in Walla!

Even before she was evicted from the house, friends who worked with her as a model had already disowned her and said they would consider ending their association with her (Reshet Adika, for example).

But since she was dismissed, things have really gotten worse.

It's not just the cheers of the boys and girls who mocked her while she was coming down the stairs, but mainly the threats on social media that she says have spilled over into actions in the real world.

When she was crying and upset, Schwartz told about messages that wished her to die of cancer, people who threatened her mother and there were also those who increased and broke the mirrors in her sister's car.

I want to believe that we all hate bullies, especially those of us who have suffered from them, but it was still hard not to feel a little sorry for Schwartz, who looked mostly like a fragile and very confused young woman yesterday.

Jordani came with a collection of her clips from "The Brother" and asked her to refer to specific behaviors during the season, to all of them without exception Schwartz responded with forgiveness and claimed that her choice of words was not correct but it was behavior under pressure.

For her, the experience in the "Big Brother" house

the truth?

And fans of the show will forgive me, as a young model with little life experience, Schwartz is not a particularly interesting interviewee.

This interview could only have been justified if he had dared to criticize not only Schwartz but also and especially the program in which she participated (yes, yes, even though it is the same media outlet).

For example, where was the big brother himself when he saw that Schwartz's behavior was blown out of proportion and harmed her personal life outside the house.

Jordani did not ask Schwartz if she had any complaints against the program, whether she expected someone responsible to tell her that maybe it was time to get out or even to show a bit of judgment and balance her editing in the program to lower the level of the flames.

This does not diminish the fact that Schwartz is a bully and probably someone you wouldn't want to sit with for a beer some evening (because she would say you drink ugly) but only an expression of awareness of the strange legality of the reality genre.

It is no coincidence that Diane Schwartz became the most prominent character of the current season of "Big Brother".

This should also be said in the face of success - this season sanctifies yellow more than any other season.

If in previous seasons there were still attempts to introduce ideological debates into the program, such that the house was divided into camps, this season there is a group of young tenants in the house who argue about nothing.

This is lazy and she has a joke here and this is a hypocrite and this is a liar, all the discussions are reminiscent of fights between high school students whose hormones and studying for high school have driven them crazy.

Schwartz was the queen of the cruel layer that everyone loved to hate, or rather united around the hatred for her.

Now, as often happens to queens once they graduate from high school, she discovers what we all already knew - in the real world, bad behavior has a price.
