The program’s script chief has granted an interview to clarify all the controversy
Many users accused ‘Pasapalabra’ of tongo for the ease in the questions
Thursday, March 16, was a historic day on ‘Pasapalabra’. The program gave Rafa Castaño the highest jackpot in its history: 2,272,000 euros. The Sevillian not only managed to get the prize, but he managed to hit the 25 words in one go, leaving no option to play ‘El rosco’ to Orestes.
The fact that Rafa completed the test without passing a word, and without the player from Burgos playing, turned on social media. A large number of users they accused of tongo for the ease in the questions.
Borja Pérez, the program’s script chief, has given an interview to clarify everything: “The donut that won was one more for us. You search for more difficult words than others. When it is made, You always try to make it the same difficulty. All tests are created from the same parameters.”
He has also added that at the time they make it, They don’t know which contestant will get it, and that they are always waiting for the moment that someone hits the mark and wins the jackpot, since on many occasions they were only one word away. “We are happy when they hit difficult words. You know perfectly well how difficult it is. It has a lot of merit and you are very happy.”
After 12 years as a scriptwriter on ‘Pasapalabra’, Borja Pérez has commented that all the programs in which the contestants have won the jackpot are lived with great emotion, but that ‘El Rosco’ by Rafa was “different because it was the biggest boat in history and because of the confrontation between him and Orestes.”
