Vickybiich makes serious revelations
Indeed, in a video posted on TikTok, a casting director, known under the pseudonym Vickybiich on the Chinese platform, shared troubling revelations about reality TV contestants. She testified: “Reality TV contestants are dirty, like really dirty.” She then shared her experience as a casting director for reality TV shows, stating: “I am a casting director for TV shows and I have had the chance to participate in reality TV shows (…) as a technician.” These experiences have allowed her to discover the behind-the-scenes of these productions.
The example of Secret Story season 12
Continuing on her momentum, Vickybiich asserts: “I can tell you that I’ve seen things that traumatized me,” adding “we have the example right now with Secret Story where they’ve been there for about ten days. They put their disgusting shoes on the couch. They all sleep together in the beds. The state of the dressing room is a mess. The bathroom, I won’t even tell you about it. And of course, on the floor, when you see the carpets, there are things on them, it’s disgusting.” It seems that the contestants of season 12 of the TF1 show are not models of cleanliness. They were obviously not selected for their sense of tidiness. But this is nothing compared to what happened to this audiovisual professional. Because she had a slightly more traumatic experience.
The most traumatic experience
Addressing her greatest trauma in this matter, the TikToker recounts: “I’m going to tell you what I experienced about ten years ago in a ‘shack’ on a big reality TV shoot.” She prefers to announce that she will not reveal the name of the show concerned or the season in question. She prefers to let her subscribers guess. As is often the case, the participants were housed in a huge villa, “a pigsty, immaculate white,” as the young woman described it. “Everything was white in this house, but I can tell you that by the end of the shoot, everything was brown,” she assured to explain the state of the place after the contestants’ passage. And she won’t hesitate to reveal many details about this rather particular experience. “The contestants consider that jumping into the pool (…), is equivalent to taking a shower. So there are contestants who have never showered or maybe two or three times in three months,” she revealed. Vickybiich then continued with revelations even more disgusting than the others. A used tampon found in the middle of the house on the floor, “rainbow” underwear, and clogged toilets are among the most disgusting highlights of this three-minute anthology. Suffice it to say, the video caused a stir on the web. It has indeed been viewed no less than 7.6 million times on TikTok and has sparked many reactions among Internet users.
