Isola dei Famosi 2023: Marco Mazzoli wins (but his homophobic joke is unforgivable)

Vladimir Luxuria had said that the final of theIsland of the Famous 2023 it would have been unpredictable and, once again, she was right. With Cristina Scuccia, the first to be eliminated despite many giving her as a favourite, and to Luca Veltrone, who incredibly reached the end despite having landed in Honduras later than the others, to take home the trophy was Marco Mazzoli, the speaker of the 105 Zoo who has made ready jokes and provocation his trademark. atIsland of the Famous we saw him consolidate his friendship with the colleague Paul Noise, but also to bring out a not bad temper that has brought him to the center of the scene several times but, at the same time, in the hearts of the spectators who in reality shows have always been enraptured by a little lightness in the face of dozens of discussions on strategies and betrayals.

“I want to thank everyone because I was really terrible. Thanks also to Celeste, the head of the authors who believed in me and wanted me here from the first moment. I dedicate the victory first of all a Paul Noise because I promised him, to 105 Zoo listeners which is the thing I love most in the world after my wife and a person named Chico Forti who was inside me when I couldn’t take it anymore. Chico has been in prison wrongfully for 24 years with no release date. Thanks Chico, I can’t wait to come back and see you,” said Mazzoli at the time of the announcement. They close the ranking Andrew Lo Cicero in third place and Pamela Camassa to the fourth, protagonist without his knowledge on Instagram of a controversy triggered by his partner Philip Bisciglia who, in a video that was later removed, said “The whole Zoo is deciding”, suggesting a sort of underlying strategy for the speaker to win. Returning to Mazzoli, it is a real pity that at the final of theIsland of the Famous has uttered a absolutely avoidable joke to the detriment of Gian Maria Sainato, the castaway with whom he always had little in common until the semifinal, when the public decided he would leave Honduras.

When, in fact, the presenter Ilary Blasi asked the finalists to guess the identity of the shipwrecked resident on the last resort, Mazzoli replied «Gian Maria», openly homosexual competitor – even if at theIsland of the Famous at one point he showed interest in Cristina Scuccia – which shows how far there is still to go to eradicate prejudice. In the changing rooms of the gyms, at school and on TV, the nonsense that leads to identify a homosexual man automatically as a woman. Leaving aside the fact that undermining his manhood continues to be the worst offense for a man vying to become the alpha male of a group – not taking it might, in fact, be interpreted as an admission -, it is the public ridicule which arouses hilarity is the thing that most worries, seen in 2023 evidently there are still those who think that calling a gay or bisexual man a woman is something to burst out laughing about. Mazzoli’s joke live on Canale 5 he did, alas. laugh at the studio audience. reinforcing our belief that the tolerance that the civilized world hopes to achieve is still (too) far away.
