Orestes and Rafael are hovering near the jackpot, with the password sequence hitting 24 successful guesses. The game’s famous test of skill, known as the El Rosco, is becoming a more frequent challenge for both players. Yet the boat of fortune continues to resist, keeping the total prize around 1,870,000 euros for the two competitors. That astronomical sum evokes a familiar memory for fans, reminding them of ex-contestant David Leova, who claimed a 1,866,000 euro reward back in October 2016.
Go to Pasapalabra and accidentally reveal a secret of the program
At the last episode, Rafa, a guest who has visited Pasapalabra 130 times, offered a heartfelt “huge hug” and delivered a sly line: “We can get more from you now.” Sevillian participant then shared a candid memory, noting that David Leova was a close friend, yet only invited him for coffee after the big win, a gesture that followed the moment he pocketed the substantial prize money.
Pasapalabra’s breakdown is clear: when, where and how to test
Orestes, who has logged 293 programs, recalled his first appearance on Pasapalabra. The Burgos native was only 19 years old at that time and had the chance to meet David Leova. “He was on a full level and I felt like a kid,” he explained on the show. “There was no straightforward way to beat him. There were two rounds that I found especially challenging, but that initial experience left me buzzing with excitement.”
Historic moment in Pasapalabra
Pasapalabra continues to captivate audiences, drawing in viewers and delivering strong numbers that have helped it become one of the most watched programs on television. For 28 consecutive months, the show has set the pace, with Orestes consistently edging ahead of the main rival by a comfortable margin. In his own time slot, he has earned the reputation as the king of the “golden minute,” a nickname that reflects the pressure and precision required to win.
