Confirmed: Lorena Castell is the new presenter of Vamos a llevarnos bien, the RTVE program that was canceled after its first program due to its low audience ratings -it scored only a 4.6% share-. In this way, Lorena Castell, who just yesterday announced her departure from Zapeando, replaces Ana Morgade.

Let’s Get Along was never quite cancelled. RTVE promised after paying more than 3 million for the program to return it to the grid when it was given a turn and a new approach was sought. Well, the focus is the incorporation of Lorena Castell, after Ana Morgade refused to return to lead the program after marking, as she herself said, less audience than “Teletext”.

RTVE’s new idea for Let’s get along is to turn it into a summer program, a show full of music, entertainment and, above all, a lot of humor, in which two famous couples will face different tests to decide which is the funnier and more knows about summer.

The program, produced by RTVE in collaboration with The Pool, will have Ares Teixidó, Aníbal Gómez and Marina Rivers as collaborators. Alex O’Dogherty will add the musical touch with La Bizarrería.

In each installment, two celebrity couples will get into a ring to face each other in a competition divided into fun assaults of all kinds: musical tests, skill games, anecdotes, viral challenges, nostalgia, sex, etc.

At the end of the fight, once all the rounds have been overcome and after the four guests have answered a “very personal” questionnaire, the public attending the program will decide which couple should be the winner.

Among the guests, Yolanda Ramos, Palomo Spain, Carolina Iglesias, Manuel Díaz (El Cordobés), Laura Sánchez, Edu Soto, Leo Harlem, Carlos Baute, Manu Baqueiro and Norma Duval, among many others.

On January 31, a few days before the Ana Morgade program, Let’s Get Along, was released on La 1, the interim president of RTVE responded to a parliamentary question from the PP about the contracts of the public entity with the production company The Pool in the last 8 years. At that time, few gave importance to the costs of the numerous productions, but now, when one of the programs was released and canceled practically at the same time, that response has generated interest due to the cost of the program, the agreed episodes and because obviously what RTVE paid has fallen on deaf ears.

The amount of the contract for Let’s get along with The Pool was 3,529,011.06 euros for 10 episodes lasting approximately 100 minutes each. Of those 10 episodes, only aired. RTVE decided, as announced by Ana Morgade herself, to cancel the program hours after it was broadcast.

The audience data was much lower than expected: it stayed at 4.6% of the share; around 486,000 spectators. It was scheduled to be broadcast at 10:00 p.m., but after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, RTVE delayed it until 10:50 p.m. to broadcast an informative special beforehand, which obtained slightly higher numbers (5.1% share; 749,000 spectators). The first program was broadcast, therefore, almost an hour later than initially planned and with less audience in front of the screen.

Even so, that 4.6% share is half the average for the channel on that day and in a time slot as important as prime time: TVE 1 scored 9.3% on Monday compared to 12.2% of Telecinco and 15.9% of Antena 3.

RTVE had presented this bet as “a current affairs program with humour, interviews and reports in which the one who makes you laugh the most wins”. The project had not started well. Another professional in the media, Marisol Galdón, publicly commented on her strangeness due to the fact that it was called Let’s Get Along, a name identical to that of a project that she herself had presented to the network. In a message on social networks, she also showed the registration in the Intellectual Property Registry.
