The doors to the set open and he comes out. With that formal hairstyle, his hair and face neat, the white Prada shoes that he likes so much. And he smiles. Jorge Javier Vázquez has not returned to television. It’s the TV. He knows it, he is like a fish in water because as soon as the lights turn on he raises his neck, looks from one side to the other, sighs lightly and you know that from that very moment he has forgotten almost everything bad.
You can tell because his eyes water slightly when he sees that almost everything is the same as before. That everything works, the spotlights shine on her, the audience applauds her and shouts her name. And he knows what he has to do and say during the almost four hours that will follow. How he knows that there is a script that he will follow whenever he wants. He has come to have fun Survivors. “If you keep going any longer, I’ll cry,” he tells the audience as he continues chanting “Jorge” in unison.
Blessed are the prodigal sons who make us laugh and not sleep until ten to two in the morning. Jorge went out last night wanting to party. He knows better than anyone that many were paying attention to him. The skeptics wondering if he would continue with the well-oiled machinery, the usual speed. The enemies wishing that everything was flat, monolithic, the new family TV that doesn’t hurt anyone, and he did nothing but squeak. They punctured bone.
Because it took him very little time to call Carmen Borrego “Potota”. And at that moment the orphans of Save me we had pineapple and communion. “Would you rather jump out of the helicopter or the first chair?” Friday?”, he asked María Teresa Campos’ little daughter, dressed in a life jacket and huge helmets to avoid the noise, in the grip of a panic attack due to heights.
Detail for the uninitiated. To explain Potota, you have to go to that Spain where Telecinco broadcast on Saturday nights. Deluxe Saturday. Borrego had decided to have surgery on the double chin that caused him so much complex and show his new face in an interview on that program. The producer of the format, La Fábrica de la Tele, decided to welcome him with an image of Mr Potato full of bandages, since he is a doll that can change different parts of his body. And Kiko Hernández, a very effective maker of nicknames, baptized her Potota and that is how she will continue to be as long as some of us breathe.
Another detail for the uninitiated. Friday It is the program that Telecinco broadcasts to replace Deluxe. Hence the sarcasm of Badalona with the question.
stellar moments
Let’s continue with the program, which was very long and yet it went by like a breeze. Here is a summary with stellar moments. Jorge asking some contestants who had tricked them into going on the show. Jorge asking the same thing to some family and friends, present on the set. Jorge quoting Hilario López Millán. Jorge looking at the camera and saying: “I am fond of Arancha del Sol because I, like her, was also on TV.” Jorge fooling around with a contestant who has taken a cushion with the presenter’s face to Honduras. Jorge telling Zayra Gutiérrez, daughter of Guti and Arantxa de Benito, that he has seen people leaving a after with a better face than her. Jorge asking her if her father would be watching the program, she saying sure, he answering that he had a poster of Real Madrid’s number 14 in her room and then looking at the camera and saying: “Oh, if I know, I’ll have more surgery.” ”.
Jorge having a great time, exuding sarcasm in abundance: “Let’s fuck with Carmen a little, I see her very calm.” Jorge telling Ángel Cristo junior to calm Borrego in the heights, before jumping into the water: “Hold her with love, as if she were your mother.” Loud laughter on the set after this climactic moment of the Eucharist. Jorge being all of us when he tells Lorena Morlote, who has just told us women that if our ass falls off immediately afterward goes the crown: “The gluteus is very important for many people.” Jorge introducing Morlote as “hairdresser to the stars, she has styled Victoria Beckham, Ana Obregón and even Makoke.” Spain making croquette in front of the TV like Mila Ximénez de Cisneros in Save me after listening to him.
The program receiving Javier Hungary, Elena Tablada’s ex-husband, with I will cry the sorrows by David Bisbal, who was also Tablada’s partner. Jorge receiving Sandra Barneda (who will present the Sunday debates) without resentment – he presents the program This is life at the same time as Save me lemon— but grabbing his arm: “Look, we look like titas.” She responded from those heights that God has given her: “Don’t tell me anything, we’re doing great.” He with that naughty little boy laugh that he knows everything is going well. Him saying, before beginning the first of the tests, the baptism in the mud: “Return to the mud in Mediaset, finally the mud returns.” He was about to end the gala saying, unleashed alive: “What a shitty step I’ve taken, I’m going to repeat it.”
Jorge having a scary time and being Jorge Javier Vázquez. That guy who always plays and, when he looks out of the corner of his eye and sees that he’s hitting well, he smiles sideways and tells us how much he likes himself. “I look at myself and think: how could you have been without me for so long,” he said. Amen.
