If there's one name that has created more buzz than anyone else on "VIP Farm 2," it's Alba Pollozhani. Coming from "Për'Puthen" – which in itself is a kind of sin that is unforgivable by our snobby farmers – Alba hastily embarked on an experience that many of the participants remember starting with the intention of coming out of it with a Nobel Peace Prize.
From the moment she entered, Alba stood out for her extravagance – but not the kind that inspires fear or admiration. She was more of a girl who goes to the farm in heels and a super open leopard-print dress. Classless, according to many, but with a self-confidence that often irritates people and makes them prejudge her before they have a chance to get to know her.
"I want a Muslim, businessman husband" – was the first statement we remember from her in Fermë. Alba is the type of girl that society "dies" for: a little provocative, a little naive, a little unfiltered – a combination that everyone sees as a threat to public "morality", but ideal private entertainment.
She's just the perfect target. She's not "weak" enough to make you feel sorry for her, but not smart enough to subvert your expectations. She's harmless. And that's what drives people crazy: they attack her, because they've seen her now, so she doesn't go back to the same cruel ways.
When Alba is declared head farmer, Erand Sojli, who has shown his disgust for her from the beginning, tells her to "get out of his sight." Because he can't stand taking instructions from such an "uneducated" girl, a label he doesn't dare to say to her face to face, like while gossiping with Frederik.
Frederik Ndoci, who is an artist by profession, often speaks as a commentator with three fake profiles on TikTok. He sides with Erand - showing this great strength of character that we often see in life - and hatches a brilliant plan: let's completely ignore this immoral fool and start making fun of everything she says.
Alba, on the other hand, tries to speak to them with humility, kindness, a little out of her desire to be liked by everyone, like a child who doesn't understand why she's been entangled in an adult drama - and this feeling, unwittingly, is the most human that has happened on this show.
On the other hand, the girls – Kejsi, Nur, and Big Mama – have not built a critical front, but a kind of "morality club" with the goal: isolating Alba.
Kejsi sees Alba as a threat to her chosen brother, Lim, Alba's romantic interest. Nur has a kind of silent jealousy of the fact that Lim chose Alba over her, because of course, where do the two of them compare? Big Mama makes the law of the "Albanian mother" and has the important mission of putting in place the morality of honest girls, who according to her, "should never encourage men."
All together they weave a scene that wouldn't even pass the auditions for a Spanish soap opera: they send Gani to Alba's bed while she was asleep. Alba wakes up shocked. They laugh. And no one takes responsibility. Because why does Alba feel sexually harassed, when according to these farmers she seems to be completely tolerant of such situations?
The only place of comfort for Alba in this circus is Limi. There is flirtation between them. There is tension. There is a lot of sexual attraction. And no, it is not at all vulgar as they have called it in the comments. It is sincere. There is something between them that, although it is not the amber love that we dream of seeing on screen, never gives you negative energy.
So, Alba is a girl who doesn't amaze you with her wisdom, but she never gives you a feeling of evil either. She's not the sharpest, but she has the most sincere moments inside. Is she irritating? Yes. Even Jacques and Castro, who function as a more critical voice and have often come to her defense, are irritated by her. But Alba laughs even at Castro's mockery of her voice, without holding back any anger.
At the end of the day, the problem isn't Alba. The problem is how the entire group, which appears there with the label "VIP," has found so much comfort in siding with and hurling vile attacks at a single person. And if that's the standard of greatness in that house, then let's be clear — Alba is not the black sheep.
