And now a disco

Channel "Russia" opened the new season of the entertainment show "Dancing with the Stars"

On Sunday, April 5, on the air of the Russia 1 channel, after a four-year break, the 11th season of the show “Dancing with the Stars” was started. When, shortly before the premiere, the channel’s press service sent out the announcement of the upcoming event, she thought: the creators were not lucky. The project is large -scale, complex, crowded, expensive, and therefore completely impossible in the conditions of the epidemic, quarantine and the transition of entire channels to the “remote”.

We will have to cancel or transfer the premiere - just as on Channel One, they were forced to interrupt the show “Dance Revolution” and postpone shooting until better times. In addition, a jury member-a choreographer and director Alla Sigalova-was on a home quarantine after a foreign trip, and Canadian specialists participating in the installation of complex equipment cannot yet fly to Moscow due to a difficult epidemiological situation.

But "Dancing with the Stars" no pandemic is not a hindrance.

Well, yes, I had to abandon the audience in the studio. But everything else is in place: ten dance couples, four jury members, a direct broadcast. A chic studio sparkles with lights, shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow, all participants in the show radiate the desire for victory. Just like in peacetime. Almost nothing hints at the special circumstances in which the program comes out. Unless the videos placed in advertising pauses under the dick “Russia dances at home” remind that now everything should be done without leaving home, even dancing. And ordinary Russians, following the call, really dance, but alone or in compliance with the social distance

Unlike law -abiding citizens, the participants in the show, which made up pairs, not only do not keep the necessary distance, but also cannot keep it. Try to avoid the closest tactile contacts during passionate tango, for example. The proximity is almost intimate.

In the new season, a new presenter appeared in the project.

Instead of Daria Zlatopol, who moved to the jury, the multi -station Andrei Malakhov became the host.

From now on, he immediately has three television shows on the channel “Russia”: “Live” (daily, on weekdays), “Hello, Andrey” (on Saturdays) and “Dances with Stars” (on Sundays). They do not regret their best personnel on the Russia channel.

During the first issue of the show, Malakhov only once put on a mask: when he interviewed an American dancer, who was a couple of TV presenter Elena Letucca. It is clear that the American flew to Russia for a long time-when the air traffic between the countries has not yet been interrupted, and therefore, if it poses some threat to the health of Malakhov, then it would not be about the luster than all the other participants.

The mask, which unexpectedly appeared on Malakhov, amicably ignored by both the jury members and the dancers themselves. Only Nikolai Tsiskaridze joked that he liked such Andrei, and asked Elena Flying: “So you allowed yourself to cling to the American, and you checked him?”

Malakhov nervously retorted: they checked everyone. Most likely, the topics of the epidemic and the risks associated with it were ordered not to touch him at all and to stiffen to strict any of her references in the framework of this entertaining format. Today is a holiday for girls (and guys). There will be dances today.

And we will talk about the damned coronavirus in other programs and formats.

However, maybe putting on a mask, Andrei Malakhov wanted not to defend himself, but to protect all the other participants in the project from himself? But no. In all other episodes, he was present with an open face.

At the same time, everyone already knows that shortly before hospitalization at Kommunarka in the studio of the Malakhov show, “Hello, Andrey” Lev Leshchenko visited. And, having discharged this week, he went out on the air of the “60 minutes” program and complained to Olga Skabeeva that it was Malakhov that forced him to violate the self -isolation regime for the sake of filming on his Saturday show. Leshchenko allegedly warned that after returning from abroad he was observing the self-isolation mode, "to which Andryusha simply told me: okay, Lev Valeryanovich, well, what are you, well, we will be sick together."

Both an adult and as if a reasonable uncle allowed himself to persuade. True, before that he had already violated the self -isolation, visiting the party with Igor Krutoy. Now the shots from the party are shown day after day in different programs, wondering which of the guests will fall as follows. The same of the stars who have passed this bowl so far, they will “quarantine” the house, urging the unreasonable Russians to follow their example. One Malakhov plows day and night, as if really believes that no infection will stick to him (and God forbid, so as not to stick).

Elena Malysheva, who almost daily appears in the evening program “Dok.Tok” as an expert, did not avoid contact with the sick Kommunarka, who became ill, Denis Protsenko.

She interviewed him, sat at the same table without any means of protection. However, she was not self -isolated, but continued and continues to participate in the filming, appealing to the consciousness and sanity of panicing spectators: most of you have the disease with minimal symptoms or completely asymptomatic. If you appear, call an ambulance when you appear a runny nose or a low temperature: remember that doctors already have an inhuman load today. And, having arrived on your challenge, they may not have time for those who really need urgent assistance.

And then the presenter Alexander Gordon reminded Malysheva of her recent contact with a sick doctor and asked about the measures that she undertook to disperse her own fears and doubts. Elena Malysheva reported: before going to Gordon to the program, she called an ambulance and made an express test to Koronavirus. And then a second test. The result is negative, therefore, with an expensive soul, she appeared in the studio and is ready to continue to instruct the audience and give her useful tips. Gordon did not ask

Why was it necessary to come to the studio, if you can instruct and advise on Skype,

Without the risk of himself and other experts?

Meanwhile, Gordon’s partner under the program “Dok.Tok”, also contacting Denis Protsenko, was self -isolated at home.

You can’t envy television men. Of course, they are at risk, contacting many people daily and not having the opportunity to use protective equipment during the broadcast. But you can give examples of rational behavior, do not climb into the wolver, do not risk your own and other people's health and not violate the elementary rules that have not immediately, but have learned and accepted millions of ordinary people. Otherwise, the words of these television heroes are a muffled price. And “Dancing with the Stars” could well wait until better times. Not to dancing.
