Santo Domingo.-The businessman and communicator Santiago Matías publicly acknowledged flaws in the development of the reality show Planeta Alofoke, during a live broadcast of Alofoke Radio Show.

Matías stated that, contrary to the expectations created, the project has not reached the level of impact achieved in previous editions such as "La Casa de Alofoke 1 y 2".

“The Alofoke planet is inferior to houses 1 and 2 so far. It takes courage to admit when things aren't going well,” he expressed.

Recome

The content creator made it clear that the situation is not due to economic issues, but rather a failure to meet audience expectations. In that sense, he directly assumed all responsibility for the current results of the reality show.

Recognize errors in casting and production

During the broadcast, Matías pointed out that one of the main problems has been an inadequate casting, as well as deficiencies in the technical and production team. He explained that he delegated key decisions to trusted people, which led to operational failures, including errors in the handling of cameras and a lack of follow-up on important moments within the reality show. Likewise, he criticized the lack of initiative from both the participants and the production, indicating that an attractive narrative has not been built nor has constant content been generated.

Announces drastic changes in the reality show

Faced with the situation, Matías announced that he will make important adjustments to the format, including the departure of several participants and a restructuring of the team. He also warned that he will toughen the conditions within the reality show to raise the level of competition:

"I'm going to make the best reality show in history, but with changes. What's coming will be more demanding," he stated.

Furthermore, he asked his audience not to send recommendations for new participants, assuring that he himself will take care of the selection process.

Call for Authenticity and Real Content

The communicator criticized that many participants are using the reality show as a personal platform instead of competing, which, according to him, has weakened the essence of the program.

"There are people doing public relations, not competing. Here you come to win, to create content," he pointed out.

Finally, Matías insisted that his main motivation is to offer quality entertainment and connect emotionally with the audience, ensuring that he will work to correct the course of the project in the coming days.
