Two Pasapalabra competitors, Rafa Castaño and Orestes BarberoThey came from a tie on a boat, considered by some to be “the best donut in the entire history of Pasapalabra.” Not for the less, as both have drawn after taking 24 hits and lead turns are impossible. 18 and 19 words in a row. Unbelievable.
This was the scenario where Orestes and Rafa join the show below. March 8, 2023. It looked unique. Well, as Pasapalabra has started to show lately, it wasn’t because everything could be improved a bit more such that it was the best comeback in rosco since the program aired in Spain.
An unbeatable Pasapalabra bun
The Pasapalabra bun was started by Rafa Castaño. He was the first to answer the definitions of the final test of the competition, which gave access to the Pasapalabra bonus, which accumulated 2,236 million euros.
Sevillian is always discreet and especially careful about the donut, without answering if unsure of the answers to avoid mistakes as much as possible. This time, however, he abandoned his strategy and set off at full speed to the Pasapalabra boat.
Rafa answered one word after another until he had completed a total of 23 correct answers. There are only two definitions in front of him that need to be answered: Y and Z. He answered the last one correctly and in the end he has only one word left to enjoy the final victory and win the jackpot of more than 2.2 million euros.
Orestes, for his part, put his ring against a set of conditions, hitting 11 in the first round, three in the second and 9 in the third and a final chain hit before his second round.
Questions turn to Rafa. “Contains Y – presenter reads Roberto Leal -: surname of the cardinal who was teacher and Minister of State to King Louis XV of France from 1726 to 1743”. Rafa doesn’t think about it: “luynes“. Not even a fly’s flight is heard on the set. Absolute silence. Orestes is trying to control his nerves. Roberto Leal finally said “No!” he says, and Rafa shrugs with a sigh after firing a second shot from the Pasapalabra boat in less than 24 hours.
Orestes confronts his final answers to at least try to bond with Rafa, but misses the remaining two words and only manages to hit 23 hits. Rafa Castaño was crowned the big winner of a donut that once again set the bar very high for Pasapalabra, with 24 hits, with a masterful shot of 23 replies in a row.
