She already warned it in the presentation of the test: despite being from Tenerife, she had a real fear of water. so stop Ana Guerra, having to debut in ‘El Desafío’ with the apnea testIt was a personal challenge. Having to overcome that fear to try to go as far as possible and manage to raise money for that card that, at the end of the program, goes to a good cause. The singer managed to be underwater, and with the encouragement of her instructor, Juandi, no less than two minutes and twenty-seven seconds. Yes, very far from Jorge Sanz’s more than four and a half, but a real feat for her who, as he had explained, had a traumatic experience as a child, when she almost drowned.
Well tied on points with Mariló Montero, who won in the tiebreaker of the jury. But the presenter decided that, those 8,500 euros for the night, divided between the NGO chosen by her and the one her partner wanted. A gesture of generosity that the Canarian thanked her not only on the set, but later on her social networks. “The curtain has already opened on a new show in our lives full of sacrifice, joy, camaraderie and challenges of all kinds. Thanks to ‘El Desafío’ for getting me going and showing me that I am more capable than I thought“, began next to an album with some moments from that night that he will no longer be able to forget.
“Last night 2,357,000 people saw our most vulnerable and human side, thank you for joining us in this strange experience and we hope you want to continue giving us your hand in this adventure,” he continued before thanking his partner for sharing the prize money for the first program of the third season: “Thank you Mariló Montero for your generosity and for helping all those people who suffer from ALS”. And she finished: “See you next Friday in a very affectionate duel with my Rosa López. I love you”.
The complicity with Roberto Leal
Perhaps that temperance stops, despite 70 contractions in those two and a half minutes, to be able to beat herself, also has something to do with the good friendship that unites her with Roberto Leal, presenter of the space. This was the host of ‘Operación Triunfo’ in that edition in which Ana participated. A ‘talent’ in which that friendship was forged that led her to be in the occasional ‘Pasapalabra’ and who, now, is reunited in this entertainment space.
Ana, of course, had words of affection for Roberto on her social networks once the broadcast of this debut finished. She did it by contrasting a current image of ‘El Desafío’ with another of that ‘Operación Triunfo’ that helped her to start putting her head into music. “This is what we mean when we say that, no matter how many years pass, the looks of the people we love and who love us do not change. Our love and admiration is an exponential growth to which we see no end. Hopefully life and TV will always bring us together”was the final wish of someone who was only letting his feelings become words.
