The journalist who cleans, and the heart of the octopus

It crashes too Bertin Osborne (‘My house is yours’, T-5) against the solid competition of Juanra Bonet ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ (A-3). This game of questions and answers, created in United Kingdom in 1998, after 24 years, he continues to enjoy excellent television health. Now a prepared contestant can take up to one million euros. in a clean way. And above all, the audience allows us to follow it from home, playing the sea of ​​entertainment.

But it’s not just the questions. It is also an interesting factor, which prompts reflection, the human texture of those who compete. The other day they summoned Eduardo – about 50 years old, I reckon – and Juanra asked him: “What do you do for a living?” She answered “I am a journalist». oh! Juanra, naturally, was very interested and asked her where she worked. Eduardo answered: «With the crisis of 2008 I had to recycle. I clean the stairs of the building where I live. She didn’t say it dramatically. She didn’t even accentuate it like it was a sad fate. But it made me think a lot. I have come to the conclusion that Eduardo, acting as a cleaner, perfectly complies with journalism. I don’t know how many of us working journalists could be on TV saying the same thing.

Another interesting moment that I have seen recently in this contest was a week ago, when they reissued the day that the actress contest Bibiana Fernandez. I think it was a year ago, in March 2021. She was playing for 20,000 euros and the question was ‘How many hearts does an octopus have?’ Possible answers: One, Two, Three, None. oh! What anguish entered Bibiana. How painful. What distress. She would say, “Oh! What a bummer if the correct answer was ‘Neither‘. How can an octopus not have a heart? The octopus paul, for example, that ‘man’ who was so supportive of us at that World Cup.” And he shuddered. He was right Bibiana. How are we going to deny the heart to a little animal? She called the 50% wild card. They were left as answers to choose ‘Three’ and ‘None’. She said ‘Three’. And she was completely right.

oh! This set of Bibiana was very nice. She had it very clear: there is no animal without a heart, except for some flatworms. It would have been more complicated if Bibiana had been asked about the human heart. There are some who don’t. It hinders your ends.
