A new draw took place this Tuesday, bringing Raphael and Orestes into a shared moment on Pasapalabra. The date carried extra weight: although the Burgos contestant had already failed to claim the millionaire prize the day before, he marked a personal milestone by reaching the 300th program on the show.
When the program resumed on Wednesday, Orestes reached his 301st episode, and host Roberto Leal seized the moment to acknowledge the anniversary. “Another milestone we’ve passed,” Orestes joked with a smile. “What could be a finer celebration than a draw at 23, especially after those wins at 24 trivia at 23?” He praised Rafa warmly, adding that the night belonged as much to his challenger as to himself. “Rafa is outstanding, thinking ahead,” he commented, sending positive words toward his rival.
Orestes made clear that he hadn’t felt compelled to chase a win at all costs. He admitted he could have taken a risk with number 24, but in the final moment he had no clear plan for a German target. That led him to choose a calm, respectful draw with Rafa to mark the anniversary, rather than forcing a move that might have sent him back to the blue chair. It’s a moment that underscores the game’s spirit for the Burgos contestant, who remains a fan favorite for his steady command of the board.
Boat with a very special history
During this relaxed stretch, Orestes highlighted the image of a boat that seemed to float over the Pasapalabra backdrop. “It’s a sign of a year that, in its own way, honored a major turning point in world history,” he noted. The episode carried a noteworthy prize pot of 1,918,000 euros during the program, a sum reminiscent of pivotal historical events, with the armistice of 1918 marking a turning point in shared human stories. The host and the audience followed along as the moment gave a broader sense of the show’s place in popular culture.
Orestes pointed out that many years have elapsed since the dramatic moments of the past. The analogy drew a light laugh from Leal as he added, “We’re moving forward through time, and who knows what the next chapter will bring?” The reference served to humanize the contestants, turning a game into a small, relatable narrative about growth and persistence.

Rafa corresponds to Orestes
Rafa seized the moment to extend his congratulations. “Orestes is formidable … everything is clicking, and I’m honored to share much with him and to chase the numbers he’s hitting.” He described his own journey with a touch of humor, noting that he had reached a notable tally and that his family has always supported him. The Sevillian contestant has built a strong record on Antena 3’s most successful format, currently trending with dozens of appearances and a string of memorable moments.
As the episode unfolds, fans wonder whether the Pasapalabra jackpot will land on this day or whether the suspense will continue for a little longer. The show’s rhythm keeps viewers hooked, pivoting between sharp competition and genuine camaraderie between two skilled players.
