Mozos de Arousa has established itself as a memorable chapter in Chain Reaction history. The trio of Raúl, Borjamina, and Bruno left an enduring mark by breaking the retention record on a Telecinco episode hosted by Ion Aramendi. Across the show’s run, they appeared in more than 120 broadcasts and accumulated well over 842,000 euros, building a reputation for consistency and teamwork that resonated with viewers across Canada and the United States as well as Spain. Their success on Chain Reaction followed an earlier appearance on La 1 of TVE, demonstrating their ability to compete at high levels across different formats and networks. [Source: Telecinco]
Almost three years before their Chain Reaction triumph, Mozos de Arousa had already tested their mettle on television as the Mushrooms in a program called Blocked by the Wall, hosted by Àngel Llàcer on La 1 de TVE in the summer of 2020. In that period, the teammates Raúl, Borjamina, and Bruno joined forces with Pablo to form a formidable squad. The team set a new benchmark for persistence on the program, staying in the game for 19 episodes and amassing 38,000 euros in winnings. This early run established a foundation of chemistry that would later fuel their Chain Reaction success. [Source: La 1 de TVE]
Ion Aramendi’s productions served as a recurring stage for Borjamina and Raúl as well. The siblings returned to challenge themselves in the show Hunter during 2021, participating in the competitive ecosystem that blends wit, strategy, and rapid-fire problem solving. Their adventures in Hunter complemented their ongoing pursuit of new opportunities within the network’s lineup. Ultimately, only the elder brother managed to survive the high-stakes chase in The Last Hunt, where he cleared 22 frames and walked away with a prize of 17,000 euros. This achievement highlighted not only individual speed and clarity under pressure but also the value of teamwork cultivated across multiple appearances.
