With ‘The island of temptations’ about to end and nothing else on the horizon, Telecinco has to cling to the burning nail of the only thing that has worked for it (really) in recent years: ‘Survivors’. Maybe that’s why we even have finery in the soup. At least we can’t complain that nothing is happening this year and, to show, a unification that begins the final phase of the reality show. A phase that they are going to extend as long as they can, like that gum that has no flavor but you keep chewing to do something.
all together
‘Survivors’ looks like a zoo: if until recently the contestants were divided between Cabeza de León and Playa Paloma, now they will be together and scrambled in Playa Pelicano, a place where they can fish and they will have both wood and almonds. Of course, the program could not allow the unification to be done calmly and without giving a little show, so He has left only thirty seconds for each contestant to take what they want (or can) from his private beach and put him in the boat.
Both teams they took everything important (well, except for Ginés, who tried to cheat at the last minute by putting on an extra shirt) and they marched towards the unknown. Being “the unknown” a reward test where, once again, six people have put on the boots. That moment when ‘Survivors’ and ‘Masterchef’ make a spiritual crossover.
This unification has not made a clean slate, far from it: the conflicts of the previous programs have continued standing. For example, in Cabeza de León, someone has stolen honey and all fingers (except one) point to Asraf, much to his despair. Let there be no doubt that the drama will continue for the next few days as the contestants play at being Sherlock Holmes.
See you later
At least there is someone who is not going to have to live through all this drama. And it is that Arelys, who was nominated along with Asraf, Adara, Manuel, Raquel and Yaiza, has gone to Playa de los Olvidados after Jorge Javier Vázquez saved the least voted contestants one by one to leave the island. if you are wondering who is Arelys, is she Yulen’s mother. If you are wondering who Yulen is, he is Isa Pantoja’s ex. In Telecinco she takes advantage to the liver.
The surprise is that everyone expected Yaiza to leave, who has arrived later and also doing bad things, but the public has preferred Arelys to leave. Before leaving, the contestant has decided to speak to her classmates and ask them to take care of Asraf, because “they have been a bit unfair to him.” Finally, the eliminated has had to assign a ballast and a reward (to Adara and Raquel respectively), of which only the ballast will be carried out. Go for God.
The tearful farewell It has not prevented him from getting involved in the nomination ceremony very soon after, where the usual ones have been nominated: Yaiza, Adara, Asraf and Ginés. Molinero has not been well (with a certain reason, everything is said): “Some have not yet been nominated,” he commented after seeing that Bosco and Raquel have come out leaders and that she has had to smear again. What the contestants don’t know, once again, is that this is how you create a winner. And we already have a lot of editions to not know it.
He passed through here
But if this edition of ‘Survivors’ is serving for something, it is for Mediaset to decide whether to continue betting on the old model or take a double leap mortal forward and takes a risk with something other than celebrities and pink scene. For this reason, the island looks like a sampler from the spring-summer collection of ‘Sálvame’: there is no one left to go around and open plots.
Encounters there have been a couple this week: on set, Katerina and Raquel Bollo (girlfriend and mother-in-law). On the island, Arelys and Yulen (mother and son) and, still kicking, that of Isa Pantoja, who destabilized his cousin Manuel. Come on, everything indicates that this week exactly the same thing will happen again: more influx on the island than in a subway car at nine in the morning.
And here is the summary of this week’s gala! The one that comes will bring us, predictably, the same nominations as always, a new expulsion, fights, dimes, bickering and solidifying Adara as the first major contender to win this. We will have to see it.
