Well that’s it. ‘Nightmare in Paradise’ is over and all contestants have won something. Some, the contest itself, which they have celebrated as if it were a World Cup. Others, a plot in ‘Save me’, which in the end gives them several weeks of shouting, bickering and bickering. Some, the possibility of entering ‘Survivors’ or another reality show in the house. The only ones who have lost here are Telecinco and its relationship with the public, which has not prevented that, despite an underground audience, they have been renewed for a second season. Whoever wants to understand them, understand them.
And it’s called a party
In Spain, celebrities do not change or evolve: they simply vary their faces, but they are still exactly the same families. Bullfighters, tonadilleras, children of the same and former of those. Little proves it more than ‘Nightmare in paradise’, whose winner has been, in the middle of 2022, a bullfighter. Olé my Españita.
The first hearing decision was to separate from the possible victory Iwan Molina, the least voted by the public, which has been affirming that “whatever happens, we are four winners”. Yeah, Iwan, but some more than others. For example, Neither is Daniela: she was the next to leave through the door after hugging Víctor and Bea Retamal, the two finalists.
Justice was done… the best one won and not the one who has the most followers on the networks… it is a contest, there is a job and some merits and Victor Janeiro has been the most complete… Congratulations #NightmareInParadise

It has been a high duel, I suppose: with 51% of the votes, Víctor Janeiro has won the contestan award that, in truth, should be sending a message to Telecinco: less shouting, less greengrocers and more knowing how to be and thinking about the game. The winner has kissed Beatriz Trapote, his wife and has celebrated with all his companions. At home, a little more than a million viewers celebrated (or had in the background) the boy’s victory.
Nightmare in Paradise: The Next Generation
In what seemed like a farewell to Telecinco rather than the format, last week Lara Álvarez seemed so relieved not to have to deal with celebrities, cows and farms again.. Instead, the next season of ‘Nightmare in Paradise’ will take her Carlos Sobera, Sandra Barneda and Nagore Robles.
Thanks to all the team at @nightmareparais @FremantleESP for having counted on me in this first edition. I have enjoyed a lot on set and I have met wonderful people. Especially my Trapote. #VictorWinner #NightmareInParadise pic.twitter.com/HyyQYMTmUV

Yes, you read correctly: next season. In a risky exercise to find out how far audiences can fall, the reality show has announced some of its new contestants, who will be, surprisingly, celebrities from the ‘Save Me’ universe. for now, have confirmed Kiko Hernández and Maite Galdeano, son-in-law and mother-in-law respectivelywho know perfectly how to behave in front of a Mediaset camera to give videos.
Come on, we can expect more of the same: screams, disagreements and various anger with celebrities of the second division. At least these two do have some relevance in the Telecinco world, so it is possible that at least the first programs gain a little repercussion. Frankly, until I see it, I won’t believe it.
What we have learned from the farm
In addition to the victory of Víctor Janeiro, the last program left us the conclusion (for now) of the relationship between Bea Retamal and Dani García. She has decided to break up with him after writing him five pages of letters, Rachel Green style, because his is not healthy. The plot has been left open, with Dani opening the doors for her and apparently respecting her decision. Also apparently being unfaithful, everything is said.
And this is how far ‘Nightmare in Paradise’ has come, a program that It started on a delayed basis and with editing, it immediately became a hybrid and finally he became another ‘Big brother’ on a farm, without any of this serving to improve his audiences, probably coming from a horrible casting and from an audience that is simply no longer there for Telecinco.
What should the Fuencarral chain have learned by now? Well, for example, what it has to give its ecosystem a break and think seriously about the next steps to take, which do not go through following Antena 3 with the contests. What have you learned? What we have to give even more reality shows for the few captive audiences that remain. Anyway, next season we will see each other around here inevitably. Someone has to bring the necessary bitterness to the farm.
