from La 1, with humor

Given the latest events, it is not entirely unlikely that the guest who dares to attend The Anthill be a victim of Broncano and his gamberrillos. The tone they impose on The Revolt admits this type of jokes, jokes, attacks, humorous comments or simply allusions to the character who at that time sits on the rival’s set on Antena 3. The case of the singer Ana Mena This Tuesday was not only widely commented on online: we know that it did not please those around the interpreter of One step away from the Moon, who was once a ‘client’ of The Resistance.

The eleven scriptwriters (three are women) who write thanks to both the presenter and Sergio Bezos, Jorge Ponce o Ricardo Castilla They do it with that hilarious Vaseline, that in-law comedy that works so well for them and is patent of marquee to not leave a puppet with a head in the name of freedom of expression and the unlimited frontiers of humor. The result is a cotton candy escrache against the artist, politician or celebrity on duty who approaches Pablo Motos and thus convert it, without the aforementioned being able to eat or drink it, into the indirect protagonist of the most watched program on television, at least on public television.

From Ana Mena, the last prey of these rebels spanners, to that Victoria Federica Marichalar that opened the season in The Anthill, passing through the poor Javier Cámara, whose series partner ended up apologizing for calling the Valencian presenter a fascist: many have heard whistles in their ears while responding to Trancas and Barrancas. As we say, the best-paid rioters in Spain have the right to laugh at everyone and give their opinion on everything, even if they do it from everyone’s television and with everyone’s money: the same as us, and even more so if we do it with our dibs. Another thing is that a run-run begins between artists and their environment due to the signs in The Revolt.

Tattooing Pablo Motos’s face on his chest, putting an ant mask on some dogs, or that continuous sprinkling of taunts and jokes respond to a reason that we guess: Broncano and company’s strategy consists of telling him out loud and in front of him every day. his spectators to Pablo Motos who If you have flats, go out and hit them. “I’m cool and to hit my father or that’s what you tell me in the street” are the phrases that underlie, the subtext of that joke escrachero. But it is also a trap that an intelligent person should never fall into if it means playing into the opponent’s hands. It is evident that La 1 has made it a routine to provoke artists and mock them. The Anthill as a method to gain notoriety in the midst of audience decline.

This Monday, Ana Mena was not the guest on Broncano’s program, but she was right at that same time on The Anthill. But in The Revolt They had to talk about her, The Anthill and to make jokes about it. But if on this occasion it was the Andalusian artist, we can look back and see that there is not a day that in La Revuelta a dart is not thrown at El hormiguero, at Pablo Motos or at any of his guests, with the hope (perhaps) that in the Antena 3 program they will take the bait and end up responding, in order to fan the flames of a duel that in its first month, September, left The Anthill victorious as the most watched program of the month. At the moment, whether due to experience, intelligence or both, in The Anthill They have focused on carrying out their program without engaging in provocations from the opposite.

This public announcement does not amuse everyone. Sources close to different artists agree that there is already a certain fatigue due to the attitude both in the program and in networks that La Revuelta is carrying out, putting the focus between the guest who decides to go to their program and the one who decides to go to El hormiguero . “These things are not normal. When an artist goes to a program, he is part of many variables such as his agenda, his promotional strategy and even his particular preference. It is something that television and radio programs have always understood without the need to make statements. public,” say sector experts.

Damaged image of artists

Another point that is beginning to emerge among the rumors in the sector is the negative consequences that in many cases the most famous guests are suffering after attending The Revoltas has been the case of Damn Paola. Atlético de Madrid canceled its performance in the derby after a few words from the Mexican artist on Broncano’s program expressing her Madridism that did not sit well with the red-and-white club; perhaps more for the tone than for the content. The actress Irene Escolar was also the subject of criticism after passing through La Revuelta, due to a comment about her inability to access housing. The opinion of several artists is that Broncano exposes his guests too much, forcing them to take sides in a very simplistic way on delicate and controversial issues. A fact that benefits the program, as it generates headlines and notoriety, but that puts the guest between a rock and a hard place.

Morbidity, controversy or provocation are Broncano’s best weapons to try to maintain the success and notoriety of his program and thus avoid the progressive flight of viewers: this Monday The Revolt It fell below two million viewers for the first time and has scored a historic low with 14.5%; far from the almost 20 points he averaged in his first week. Whether or not the wear and tear of their audiences continues, what worries many of those who manage the careers of the stars is that they will be used by Broncano and his entourage with public accusations if he has the “audacity” to go to the competition. They make it clear that they have another offer (impossible to refuse?).
