Programs such as El diario de Patricia still occupies a place in the collective memory of several generations. A program in which anonymous people (at least until they appeared on television) opened up on the channel to tell the most intimate things about their lives, their emotions, their feelings.

Talk shows or emotainment have always been part of the television grid because yes, emotions sell. However, for some time now they have been losing interest, which does not mean that a good part of the audience is not attracted to know the intimacies, the joys and the misfortunes of others.

At Unicorn Content they know it and at Mediaset too. For this reason, the group chaired by Borja Prado in its revolution to change the essence of Mediaset has opted for La vida sin filtros, a renewed emotaiment that has achieved the unthinkable, that Cristina Tárrega once again leads a program two years after the failed Nocturnal animals.

The presenter does not know anything about what is going to happen in the program, she does not have a script and she does not know who is going to appear

“It is, without a doubt, the format of my life,” says the presenter and businesswoman. Life without filters arrives tonight on Telecinco (10:00 p.m.) and, although Tárrega is aware that she has to fight against “some semifinals and a final” -La Voz Kids-, the presenter is so convinced that the program “is a jewel of television” who is not afraid of anything.

It cannot have it, in this Unicorn Content intention to renew the talk-shows they have played it, but well, to Tárrega. The presenter doesn’t know anything about what’s going to happen on the show, she doesn’t have a script, just a simple rundown. In fact, it is she who reveals that she has only entered the writing of the program three times and “they have thrown me out”: “‘You go away, this does not interest you’ they told me.”

The axis of each issue of La vida sin filtros is a central theme that will structure its contents, which will be documented with reports, data and reports. Topics such as family issues, neighborhood conflicts, unfaithful by nature and image slaves, among other issues, will be addressed ‘without filters’ by the presenter and debated by the large team of program collaborators.

And so, in each program of the eight that have been recorded, Cristina Tárrega will be surprised by what happens on the set, where she will be moved, impressed and moved by the stories and testimonies of the protagonists. And when she tells herself to be moved, she is not deceived: “It is a cult program. It has been magical to turn around and look at the public.”

Cristina Tárrega confesses that in more than one of the eight installments the emotion has been such that on more than one occasion her eyelashes, “which are not mine”, have fallen out.

The testimonies of the protagonists and the public attending the set and also those of the spectators from their homes make up the cornerstone of La vida sin filtros, which will have a fran face all, which will allow Cristina Tárrega with different parts of the world and diverse cultures.

On television there is room for everyone and we are nobody to censor

The presenter will not be alone. In its weekly appointment on Saturdays, La vida sin filtros will open a debate on a central topic, an issue that will be discussed with a team of collaborators, whom Cristina Tárrega does not want to call that, but rather “colleagues, who will contribute their respective experiences and They will offer their particular points of view, very diverse profiles including Alessandro Lequio, Carlos Baute, Lucía Dominguín, Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, Boris Izaguirre, Charo Reina, Eduardo Navarrete, Ares Texeidó and Iván González, among others.

And among those others, Javier Villamor, a former 7NN journalist and former spokesperson for the ultra-Catholic and ultra-right-wing entity Hazte Oír, whose presence in tonight’s first program has brought the first controversy that Cristina Tárrega quickly cuts: “On television there is room for everything the world and we are nobody to censor”.

However, without a doubt, the most innovative of this new talk-show is the 100 seconds section. A section created by Marina Abramovic, a Serbian artist considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary performance.

How could we present a speech program with a silence?

It is an exciting therapeutic exercise of reconciliation, or not, in which two people who know each other, who have not seen each other in years and with unfinished business will sit face to face and in silence for 100 seconds.

“We wanted to advance in a lack, the lack of soul beyond the stories,” explains Xelo Montesinos. “How could we present a speech program with silence? And we remember the success of Abramovic’s performance at MOMA”, he points out. Nobody knows how it will end and, according to the CEO of Unicorn Content, there are moments of great tension “because nobody knows how it will end or what will happen.”

Emotion, tension and expectation will follow one another in this visual staging that is being shown on television in Spain for the first time and in which viewers will be able to observe what they are feeling. In addition, it will be the protagonists of this face to face who decide to leave or remain in the program to address the issue that they left pending.

In this edition, viewers will experience up close the emotional declaration of gratitude from a grandson to his grandparents for having raised him; he witnesses the decision of a woman who considers disinheriting one of her daughters; and he observes the emotions that surface when they sit face to face with a 45-year-old man and his biological father, whom the former has been searching for for years.

“Life without filters is full of emotions, joys, feelings, moments where the skin crawls, where you find yourself in surprising situations for me and for everyone, where I’m not the only one who realizes that this crosses borders”, Tárrega sentence.
