Rafa Castaño was the great protagonist of the Pasapalabra rosco on Wednesday, March 8. The contestant was again on the verge of winning the pot after the draw at 24 with Orestes Barbero the day before. Both competed for a prize of 2,236,000 euros. “If what we experienced yesterday seems insurmountable to you, be very attentive to what is going to happen in a few seconds,” warned the Twitter account of the Antena 3 space.
The Sevillian started with 156 seconds and a record lap. He got 23 consecutive hits, thus equaling the mark set by José Manuel Lucía in 2009. He decided to skip the definition that contained the Greek i, where he was asked for the “surname of the cardinal who was tutor to King Louis XV of France and Minister of State between 1726 and 1743”.
The Andalusian confessed that he was nervous about what his rival could do, since he pointed out: “In these situations you grow.” It should be remembered that the day before Castaño had started with 18 hits in a row, but Barbero surpassed him by chaining 19.
The man from Burgos stated that he was “happy as well as scared”. He started with 152 seconds on his marker and a first turn in which he put 11 letters in green. Rafa finished his return to his rosco adding a hit in the z and reached 24, so only one word separated him from winning the millionaire prize of the format.
The participant ended up answering Luynes in the Greek i, but Roberto Leal informed him that the cardinal whose last name he was looking for was André Hercule de Fleury. “It is the second day in a row that you stay one of the jackpot,” said the presenter.
When Rafa finished the test, Orestes had 14 hits on his scoreboard and 78 seconds ahead. The contestant finished his first round of the rosco with 23 hits, so he needed to add one more to reach a tie.
The young man failed in the pe with the definition of “papelonado” and also stumbled in the e, where he was asked for “the name of the prince of Wallachia who ruled between 1386 and 1418”, who was Mircea. Therefore, he must face the blue chair on Thursday, March 9.
