Pasapalabra has long been tied to triumph, marking unforgettable duels between legendary rivals. The show has captivated millions who feel like part of television history. Now Oscar and Moisés step back into the spotlight, aiming to revive the saga and seize the long-awaited final pot of the program.
At the outset of this run, one contestant unveiled a fresh motto for Pasapalabra: “The message to gardeners: Enjoy it while we can.” The remark, delivered with a hint of humor from a personality usually shy, set the tone for an El Rosco round. Facing Oscar, the challenge remains formidable, and the duel stayed evenly matched, with control weaving from side to side throughout the test. A notable moment came when Óscar completed the first round with 20 correct answers, only to encounter a dreaded blunder. The question lingers: when does a misstep become decisive? Roberto Leal offered a memorable line, reframing fearlessness as a choice rather than a trait, a curious dictionary twist that the audience could enjoy learning about. [attribution: studio coverage]”
Bombshell: Óscar wins El Rosco de Pasapalabra on his third appearance
Despite the momentum, no final decision had been reached when the rosco results finally emerged. The Madrid contestant added 22 correct letters, while Moisés was one tally behind. The balance of luck and skill kept leaning back and forth, creating palpable tension. In a dramatic finish, Moisés edged ahead on the rosco, sending Óscar to the dreaded blue chair that has become a symbol of elimination in this post-Rafa era. The moment kept viewers on the edge of their seats until the last reaction could be measured. [attribution: show recap]”
A television resume
The audience’s reaction to Óscar was mixed. Known as a sharp competitor, he prepared relentlessly and found success in numerous challenges. His track record spans popular formats and teams, including his celebrated time with Los Dispersos on Boom, his stand as a centenary contender on Saber y Ganar, and his early stint on Pasapalabra at Antena 3. The program’s original host, Silvia Jato, remains a familiar touchstone for viewers. [attribution: career overview]”
Pasapalabra has changed little in its essence since those early days, with the show’s core elements still recognizable today. Óscar Diaz, one of the original contestants, anchors this era. The Madrid native’s television baptism is still visible in the confidence of his voice and distinctive style—perhaps a touch more hair, but the same goatee and clothing cues that mark him as a recognizable figure after more than two decades.

The rescue video from Pasapalabra begins with Silvia Jato welcoming the moment, even as she references the possibility of a 60,100 euro prize and, historically, the 10,000,000 pesetas jar. One team, the blue team, counts Óscar Antonio Hidalgo among its members, with Ágata Lys by his side. The presenter notes the contestant as the “ultimate champion” after accumulating 1,700,000 pesetas worth of winnings. [attribution: broadcast moment]”
