In the previous month, Rafael Castaño achieved a substantial profit of 2,272,000 Euros. A bold move left his rival Orestes with little room to respond, sealing the victory and closing a chapter in a long-running competition between the two rivals. The prize pool reached the largest total in the program’s history. While Rafael drew wide attention on social media, in interviews, and in news coverage after his win, Orestes faded from the spotlight.
The great heroes of the program Rafa and Orestes
Rafa and Orestes had contended for months for the top prize. Both competitors understood each other well and knew how to influence each other’s strategies. Rafa’s win sparked conversations across social networks, turning both contenders into daily talk on Twitter. The outcome stirred considerable controversy among the show’s followers, who debated who truly deserved the award.

The complaints from followers of the program
Contrary to live broadcasts, Pasapalabra did not air Rafa’s win in real time. His victory remained under wraps for a period before being made public. Once announced, a wave of viewer complaints about the program’s outcome followed.
One notable complaint drew significant attention online. A follower urged an official investigation into the events of the day Rafa won. The message asked when an investigation would be conducted and when a public explanation would be given regarding the situation on the show. The exact words from the user highlighted a growing demand for transparency.
Another major development involved the entry of a fresh competitor. After Rafa Castaño’s departure as the reigning jackpot winner, Jorge Carmena emerged as a rising figure on the show. He quickly gained widespread audience appeal in a matter of days. He noted that his first day on the program coincided with the host’s birthday week, a detail he publicly shared to connect with viewers. The host, Roberto Leal, officiated the show as this new wave of contestants entered the arena.
As time passed, Jorge demonstrated progress in the program, and some followers began to draw parallels between his approach and Orestes’ competing style. The audience grew confident that Jorge could perform well and sustain momentum throughout the series. The question remained: would he become the next jackpot winner, or would another surprise shake up the lineup? The anticipation continues, with many watching closely to see how his journey unfolds and whether he can translate early momentum into a lasting run on the show.
