For the second time, a food program saves the air television rating. It’s about MasterChef Celebrity 2, issued by Telefé and produced by Boxfish. After having crowned in the first broadcast businesswoman Claudia Villafañe, the program is reinstated in the nights of Argentine TV stomping. It is broadcast from Monday to Thursday from 10:30 p.m. to midnight and on Sundays at 10 p.m.
In this new edition, presented by a gesticulator Santiago del Moro and which once again has Donato de Santis, Damián Betular and Germán Martitegui as jurors (will they each maintain the stipulated roles?), It kept a great unknown around its 16 participants, who They were announced by the drop of a hat and that after the mystery was unveiled, it showed an interesting variety.
There are all types and professions, ages and cultural backgrounds. There are from a former basketball player, footballers, through a renowned actor, actresses of tradition, media actresses, popular singers of different musical roots, comedians and even a journalist who is surprising that she shows herself in that facet. For the whole family and all tastes.
Among the participants of the famous reality show will be Andrea Rincón, Alex Caniggia, businesswoman Flavia Palmiero, Juanse, singer of Los Ratones Paranoicos, Cae, Cande Vetrano, actor Daniel Aráoz, soccer player Fernando Carlos, journalist María O’Donnell, the soccer coach Mariano Dalla Libera, the former basketball player Loco Montenegro, Dani “La Chepi”, the former “Casi Angeles” Gastón Dalmau, the host / model and star Sol Pérez, the multifaceted Claudia Fontán, the comedians Georgina Barbarossa and Carmen Barbieri , who in this broadcast could not be due to having coronavirus and was replaced by his son, Fede Bal, who at the same time is the host of the Masterchef a la carte digital program, which in the previous edition was hosted by Flor Vigna.
The truth is that it will be necessary to see if the winning formula for the success of the first edition will have the same results. Last year, due to the generalized confinement caused by the coronavirus pandemic, cooking shows were widely accepted. The international format, tested in many other countries, had a high audience in its previous edition due to the dizzying competition between participants and the culinary challenges of each shipment. There are also those who look to it to receive some gastronomic advice when it comes to putting recipes into practice or correcting steps that are repeated and are not advisable in cooking or mixing.
But not everything is rosy in the most watched program on TV. On more than one occasion, the focus was on whether the participants received help when cooking. It was even hinted that Claudia Villafañe had a little extra help to win the competition. The filmmakers had to go out and give explanations: that there were gastronomic producers, that they helped to choose the products from the market, that they cleaned the work table, etc. Then, what is not seen in the neat final edition of the program was legalized, there is technical assistance to the participants.
The new edition, after presenting its 16 participants, started with a group challenge. The red team (whose captain was Sol Perez) won by presenting a four-step menu, also made up of Gastón Dalmau, Dani La Chepi and Georgina Barbarossa. The dessert made by the star and model was praised by the pastry chef Betular and the tano De Santis licked his fingers. It was thus one of the favorites.
For his part, who gave the headline for the chimentos programs, was Alex Caniggia. When asked by Del Moro if he dedicated his training to someone, the influencer quickly replied “to an enemy, my father”, alluding to the open disputes in the Caniggia / Nannis family.
We will see how the chemistry works between the participants, if the public does not tire of this format and if, when the ASPO rises, the success of the cooking shows continues at its peak. The table is set.
