In the new episode of Your businessconducted by Stefano De Martino on Rai 1 Monday 28 October 2024to challenge the Doctor is Stefanoknown as Diego de la Vega (due to his resemblance to Zorro), a competitor from the Tuscany region, who works by day as a commercial vehicle salesman and plays with pack number 15 alongside his mother Lucia. The contestant is married to Caterina and the couple has a daughter named Sofia who is 2 years old. Let’s see together what happened in the October 28th episode of Your business.
Affari Tuoi, episode 28 October 2024: what happened
At the start of the game Stefano’s mother immediately wants to dispel the myth of the new entry and this evening too, like yesterday, he is fine with it: there is only 20 euros inside. When the competitor says that he has 10 as his favorite number because as a child he wanted a horse and his father promised him that he would buy it for him on the day he turned 10, De Martino makes a first joke: “A horse? You were already Zorro, you were born Zorro!“. The first six throws are quite lucky: the reds are still on the board, except for the 300 thousand euros. “Sooner or later it had to happen“, says Lucia, and De Martino comments: “We have removed our doubts“. The Doctor tries a new strategy – “‘Or let’s get weird“, declares the contestant when Pasquale Romano admits that he wants to try something different – and proposes the change: the mother would wait and the son decides to follow her advice and refuses the offer.

Once the 75 euros have been eliminated, “Zorro” decides to trust Lucia but loses the 50 thousand euros. On the other hand, with only 4 blue parcels it is difficult not to get some important sum, but immediately afterwards they recover by finding the 5 euros, with Stefano following De Martino in the race to bring the Italian lottery ticket, also giving an air kiss to the parcel lady . The Doctor’s first offer is 35 thousand euros: “I believed more. Mom, working in the bank, always wrote checks, I would believe him to chop this desire. My wife signed me up for the game, I would give the money to my father Andrea because he has had some difficult times. My parents have always helped me, it would be a way to make him smile again“, reveals Stefano. With the next package they eliminate the 200 thousand euros and the competitor quips: “I was joking, I came here for the 100 thousand!“
The 10 thousand euros also disappear from the board, but mother and son also dispel the myth of the number 9, finding 1 euro inside. The Doctor offers the exchange: “I don’t have numbers, I don’t remember dreams, but my wife dreamed of one, so in that case I would choose that one… I have always trusted my wife, even if dreams are not reality, so I accept the Doctor’s change“. Stefano leaves number 15 to take package 8 of Liguriabut still doesn’t want to open his previous issue: “It could backfire on me. If there is a large amount then the game changes“, explains the competitor. Afterwards, the couple loses the 30 thousand euros and, before opening the next package, the one the competitor was afraid of, De Martino asks him why he didn’t take this number instead of his wife’s. response is prompt: “But because you are a normal person, unlike me“. The host’s reaction was also prompt: “In short…“.
Now on the board there are 10 euros, 5 thousand, 20 thousand and 75 thousand euros and the Doctor offers only 13 thousand euros. “There are quite a few, also because I didn’t expect such a higher offer. The probability of opening two red packages is higher than opening 1 red and 1 blue“, says Stefano, undecided about what to do, but the mother insists on going ahead and so they chop up the new check. With the new call they find the 5 thousand euros but then comes the final blow: even the 75 thousand, the highest remaining amount, flies away . The Doctor offers the exchangeafter remembering that in yesterday’s match, by exchanging his number at the last minute, Concettino returned home without money. Stefano wants to keep his package because it is the number his wife dreams of, and De Martino hypothesizes: “He thinks: ‘If I go home without money, Zorra can’t do anything to me‘”. The man confirms and rejects the change: in number 8 there are 20 thousand euros. “Zorro gets back on his horse!“, shouts De Martino
The Social Controversy
Meanwhile on social media there is no shortage of controversy: “What an asshole the doctor was who wanted to steal the 20,000 from him… and there are still those who believe he wants to help them…“, “It’s not worth rejoicing over 20,000 won at the drop of a hat…“, “But stupid, if he had called his package, maybe between 20k and 75k he would have made him an offer and it would have been higher than his 20 thousand“, “Even today the doctor wanted the contestant to throw away his money“, “The way he played, too much“, “He did very well not to listen to his mother (who was a stressor for the whole match)“, “But Stefano’s final “summary” for who, for what… what a thing“.
Then also De Martino ends up in the crosshairs of social media for the gaffe (“zorra”): “Stefano’s wife (the competitor) who was called the word p in Spanish at least a dozen times this evening“,”What did he call his wife?“, “Stefano obviously doesn’t know what it means“, “She at home: ‘Zorra called me and you didn’t say anything‘”, “But can no one tell Stefano that zorra is not a nice word???“, “Stefano keeps calling his wife Zorra (lucky she’s not Spanish)“.
