• Television Sergio Garrido, new expelled from Survivors 2023
  • TV The martyrdom and shit of Survivors 2023 that caused vomiting

The door of the set of Survivors 2023 opened and a Jorge Javier Vázquez transformed into the twin brother of Risto Mejide appeared. Surely the comparison does not make him a hint of thanks and it is not that the spirit of the presenter of Everything is a lie has taken over the presenter of Save me. The reality is that Jorge Javier Vázquez appeared dressed in sunglasses that completely covered his eyes. The reason is nothing to write home about or anything serious, simply that he has removed some of the skin that was left over from his eyelids. A touch-up.

It was the first surprise of a night in which the presenter made the decision not to shut up anymore. From what he said, these days that he has been convalescing, although it may sound like pitorreo, he has opened his eyes. I doubt you had them closed before, but you did have them contained. A containment that last night in Survivors crumbled letting out what Jorge Javier Vázquez had been wanting to say and do for some time.

And it wasn't just what he had been wanting to say for some time. In a gala in which the quarrels, the "" and the pilladas were the order of the day, the presenter wanted to start by pulling out his claws by Mediaset. Yes, for Mediaset, for its channel, for its chain, for its group. I could have done it in Sálvame, yes, but Supervivientes has more audience and Jorge Javier Vázquez of fool does not have a hair.

The host didn't wait for the show to start. He gave the appropriate explanations about the reason why he appeared with the glasses and taking advantage of the fact that the Pisuerga passes through Valladolid launched a clear message in defense of Mediaset that, a priori, may seem unimportant, but that it has, and a lot.

"I have been watching Mediaset these days and I want to thank all the people who make this television that entertains me and who has accompanied me these days. I hope, like all of you," he blurted out proudly. "I want to thank all the people behind the scenes and all the people who make Mediaset television. The television I watch and the television I believe in," he concluded bluntly.

It was brief, but nothing more needed to be said. That Jorge Javier Vázquez, one of the key faces of the chain, one of its strongholds and one of the presenters who has been most pointed out after starting what they call the Mediaset revolution, makes such a forceful allegation about the group and in the program that is giving more audience to Telecinco is not a trifle nor does it come out just because.

For just over a month in Mediaset is sweeping a tsunami. The group chaired by Borja Prado and with Alessandro Salem as the new CEO after the departure of Paolo Vasile wants to change and wants the changes to be noticed and applied now. A new Code of Ethics that mainly affects the program that Jorge Javier Vázquez presents, Sálvame; the ban on 13 of the faces that had fed the chain daily for years; the cancellation of programs that belonged to this time that wants to erase and a new communication policy are the strategy with which Mediaset has begun its fight to recover audiences and get out of a crisis that has already lasted too long.

The important thing is not only that Jorge Javier Vázquez took his face for Mediaset, the important thing is that he did it. First, because since all the changes in the group began if there has been a presenter indicated, that has been him. When the new Code of Ethics was imposed in which it is established that in entertainment programs you can not talk about politics, the target on Jorge Javier. When it was imposed that no program of the chain could attack another program or another presenter, the target on Jorge Javier. When the majority thought that Mediaset's intention was to end Sálvame -later it has been proven that it was not-, the target on Jorge Javier.

In fact, he himself surprised a few days ago, following the disappearance of Belén Rodríguez de Sálvame, a consequence of one of the hardest confrontations that have been experienced in the program, declaring that he wanted to "start a new personal life" that did not have so much to do with work: "This job has given me a lot and I am very happy, But I need another space where there's none of this."

It is true that he referred to "personal life", but Jorge Javier Vázquez never gives stitch without thread and many understood that it sounded like a possible farewell, even more so when the presenter has started new projects away from the chain as his podcast. Well, no, for those who doubted, for those who sentenced him and for those who also condemned the chain, went last night's message from Jorge Javier Vázquez. The changes in Mediaset are clear, they are being seen, but that there is no longer room for faces like Jorge Javier Vázquez or by any means.

But it was not only the words of Jorge Javier Vázquez as soon as Survivors started that surprised, it was also the attitude in the program. Accustomed to the character of the presenter that when heated, heats up more than an oven, last night, in one of the most angry galas of Survivors 2023, Jorge Javier Vázquez showed off that new direction that Telecinco wants to navigate.

The Survivor Pillage

Recall that one of the 13 faces vetoed a few weeks ago by Mediaset was Kiko Rivera, the son of Isabel Pantoja. Well, since last Tuesday in Survivors: In no man's landKiko Rivera has become the entity that flies over Honduras. Asraf, partner of Isa Pantoja, sister of Kiko Rivera, and Manuel Cortés, cousin of both, are who can not stand. On Tuesday they starred in one of the strongest fights of this edition of Survivors, and yesterday, hours before the gala began, another one, even worse.

The spark was ignited by the work of each one in Survivors, but what began as a fight over something on the island, ended up lighting the shit sprinkler. Manuel Cortés has a relationship with his cousin, Isa Pantoja has no relationship with his brother, his brother cannot stand or swallow Asraf. We just need to connect the dots.

If Manuel Cortés is attacking Asraf and Asraf is taking out even more shit, it is because the first is influenced from outside by Kiko Rivera and, the second, knows that this is already going to be the case until Survivors for one of the two ends. If this happens in past editions of Survivors, we would already have Kiko Rivera sitting in front of his sister on set. But no, in the new Mediaset he is not going to sit down, but he is not going to be named either. It must be very difficult to make a live program in which the protagonist of everything cannot be mentioned.

And so it looked last night. Kiko Rivera cannot be named and since he cannot be named both the presenter, the sister, and the aunt Raquel Bollo -mother of Manuel Cortés- have to refer to him almost by signs. In reality, in order not to have to name him Jorge Javier Vázquez, he refers to him as "Isa Pi's brother", while Isa Pi, although his name escaped him on Tuesday, last night only used a "he". Raquel Bollo doesn't even refer to him. That is, yes, the changes are applied.

And they are not the only ones. In the new Mediaset of Alessandro Salem the quarrels, the confrontations, the wars have to be just and necessary. And if there are because they cannot be controlled, they are stopped. And no one can take their feet out of the pot, not the contestants, much less the presenter. So the new job of Jorge Javier Vázquez is to continue being Jorge Javier Vázquez, but without going overboard.

What would have happened a year ago with the fight in the palapla that Gema Aldón and Raquel Mosquera had last night? The big shoe would have been messed up. Well, no. Jorge Javier Vázquez calmed the spirits, imposed the speaking turns and did not let anyone even half a hair.

And the same with the great catch he made to Gabriela, the daughter of Edmundo Arrocet, in the nominations. It turns out that Gabriela and Alma Bollo set out to give their nominations and Jorge Javier Vázquez discovered that seconds before they connected to be told, Gabriela had changed the role of her original nomination to Bosco for another with the name of Raquel Mosquera. If this happens in the old Mediaset, Gabriela leaves with a more than red face and Jorge Javier Vázquez would have taken the most lethal Jorge Javier. But now everything is solved with irony and sarcasm, and Jorge Javier also knows a lot about that.

I do not know how many times the presenter could ask Gabriela why she had changed the nomination, nor how many times he could point out that she had been caught, but all with a calm, a tranquility, a sarcasm to which we are not accustomed. They wanted changes, so take two cups. Let's see how long it lasts.
