Stefano De Martino unpredictable. The Rai 1 host, during the Tuesday 19 November episode of Your businessdoes another one of his own. Known for his studio dances, De Martino has another secret to bring luck to the contestants in the game: the vest. That’s right, the competitor ran to the rescue of Maria Paola, a competitor from the Marche region. As? With the help of the public. The goal was to find a blue garment: “Is that a blue vest?” he asks a seated viewer.
The gentleman hands it to him and the host gives it to the competitor: “Wear this and let’s hope for the best. Let’s leave it there in the hope that it will have some effect” The Doctor offers 20 thousand euros and Maria Paola says: “This could be the highest offer if the 300 thousand euros come out. It’s true that there are many blue packages and me I would like to test the blue vestsee if it takes us in the right direction.” So the two women refuse.
De Martino peeks into the next package and then approaches the competitor and asks her to take off her blue vest and then throw it with momentum towards the exit door of the study. A gesture that leaves everyone speechless. On the other hand, a few moments later Maria Paola also manages to open the 300 thousand euro package, thus losing the chance of winning the amount. “I watch Affari Tuoi, but I have seen few such unfortunate matches”, is the bitter comment of the competitor.

What inspired Stefano De Martino to incorporate a blue vest into a contestant’s experience on the show?
Guest 1: Stefano De Martino
Website Editor: Hello Stefano! Thank you for joining us today. Can you tell us about the segment on Your Business where you helped a contestant, Maria Paola, find a blue vest and then encouraged her to throw it towards the exit door? What was the intention behind this unusual gesture?
Stefano De Martino: Well, first of all, I just want to say that I’m glad to be here. The idea behind the blue vest was really just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Maria Paola was having a tough time choosing between two packages, and I remembered watching an old game show where they used a blue vest as a lucky charm. So, I figured, why not try it? We found a viewer who happened to have a blue vest, and I thought that if she wore it and then threw it with some force towards the exit door, it might bring her some luck. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out the way we hoped, but it added some lightheartedness to what can be a stressful situation.
Website Editor: That’s interesting. Some people might interpret your actions as disrespectful towards the game, while others might see it as a humorous way to break the tension. How do you balance these different perspectives when hosting such a high-stakes show?
Stefano De Martino: That’s a great question. As a host, my primary job is to create an entertaining and engaging atmosphere for our viewers. Of course, we take the game very seriously, but we also want to make sure that everyone is having fun. I think it’s important to find the right balance between being respectful and adding a bit of excitement to the show. In this particular case, I think most people understood that it was all in good fun and didn’t take anything away from the competitor’s experience.
Website Editor: That’s understandable. Speaking of fun, you’re known for your enthusiastic dance routines during the commercial breaks. Where do you get your inspiration for these performances?
Stefano De Martino: Haha, my dance breaks are definitely a highlight of the show. I get inspiration from everywhere – music, movies, even just people watching on the street. The most important thing is to keep
