What went unseen at first was that the program’s website team had a surprising gift ready for him to mark the moment. This Monday, Orestes took the stage and, above all, expressed gratitude for the friendship shown by the last guests of the show: Nerea Rodríguez, Luis Larrodera, Cristina Rodríguez, and Fernando Ramos. He also thanked the digital team behind Pasapalabra for a thoughtful present they brought with him: the shirt he was wearing.
Shirt that can be a talisman
But what does the shirt signify? The suit is gray and bears a design on the front. It was inspired by the video game Majora’s Mask from Zelda, created by Vincent Trinidad. The model is named The Legendary Ukiyo-e. At first glance it looks like a simple T shirt, but if we reveal the connection to the garment that Pablo Díaz wore when he claimed the Pasapalabra jackpot, the meaning shifts considerably.
Indeed, the contestant managed to win the 1,828,000 euro jackpot on the day he wore this shirt after 260 appearances, giving the garment a heightened significance. Orestes has not yet reached the same jackpot, having exceeded 1.7 million euros, and it is uncertain whether the shirt will accompany him daily from now on. Still, it seems to have become a good luck charm and a symbol of a favorable streak, offering a sense of assurance and perhaps even a bit of whimsy.
another record
Pasapalabra continues to set new benchmarks, and a fresh milestone has emerged that involves Orestes in a way that feels almost surreal. The spotlight shifts to Burgos and Rafa Castaño as contenders who have engaged in the most duels, tallying 103 challenges to date.
Orestes and Rafa share a moment of celebration after a tense finish, underscoring the close bond formed between competitors during the Rosco rounds. The scene captures a candid hug as the game moves toward its final moments, underscoring the human drama that fuels the show.
The pair thus surpasses Orestes’ historic duel with the legendary Jaime Conde, which concluded with Burgos’ victory after 102 programs. The narrative of the competition grows richer with each new duel, adding to the tension and excitement that keeps viewers watching.
The program presses on with its relentless pace, and viewers are left wondering whether it can secure a place among the four largest jackpots in the history of the show. The journey continues as fans wait to see what unfolds next, with each episode building on the last and inviting audiences to stay tuned for what comes next.
