In May 2014, the popular project of the TNT TV channel Dom-2 turns 10 years old. During this period, more than 1000 participants visited the project, some of them stayed there for more than one year. And some of the participants, having left Dom-2, return again after a while.
At the invitation of the TV channel
The massive return of old participants to Dom-2 was timed to coincide with the nineth anniversary of the television project. In June 2013, Stepan Menshchikov, Rustam Kalganov (Solntsev), Nikita Kuznetsov, Alexander Gobozov, Andrey Cherkasov returned to the construction site. According to the contract, they were supposed to stay on the project for a month.
Many participants returned to Dom-2 twice, and some - three times. These are, for example, Alexander Zadoinov, Nikita Kuznetsov, Evgeny Kuzin.
Stepan Menshchikov by that time had a common-law wife and child. According to him, he came to Dom-2 to teach the participants to build love and bring the spirit of creativity, tk. newcomers spent too much time on social media. Probably, the producers of the show decided that the ratings would soon fall at such a rate, and the arrival of the once popular guys would warm up the interest of viewers. According to the press service of the TNT channel, the old men were called to share their experience with the new ones and somewhat "agitated" them.
In addition, Stepan said that he loves the project and managed to miss it. Also, according to rumors, Menshchikov was promised a decent salary for instructing new participants, while in ordinary life he does not always have a stable income: he works as a host at weddings and corporate parties, but refuses to work for a low price. House-2 is similar to a real resort - next to a pine forest, a gym, swimming pools.
The rest of the attendees voiced other goals of the parish. Rustam Solntsev expressed sympathy for the participant Elina Koryakina, Alexander Gobozov - the model Aliana Ustinenko, Nikita Kuznetsov - to no one in particular. Since then, Gobozov and Aliana have already managed to get married and leave the project. Cherkasov left Dom-2 again a few months after his arrival. Soon Stepan Menshchikov left, explaining that he had completed his task, and that his family was waiting for him outside the perimeter.
Returning to TV shows sometimes gives former members hope that they will be remembered again and that they will be more fortunate this time.
Why members are drawn back to the show
Some of the viewers are happy when familiar faces of previously popular participants appear on the project, while others believe that their time on the show has long passed and they come only because they could not find their place in real life. This phenomenon really exists. After spending several years under the gun of TV cameras, experiencing fame, getting used to life in a confined space with certain rules, people then cannot get used to ordinary life again. It is especially difficult for those who dreamed of becoming famous - a presenter or a musician - but did not wait for demand.
