In Buenos Aires there was Nicolás Gavilán last night, when Chilevisión aired the chapter of “Pasapalabra” that was leaked on social media and in which the 22-year-old from Hualpén finally completed the rosco, taking the $396 million that were at stake.
From the channel itself they proposed to Gavilán to travel to the Argentine capital, after last Monday the video of his triumph was leaked.
This is told by Carlos Valencia, executive producer of the contest space conducted by Julián Elfenbein. “We offered to go to Buenos Aires to get away a little bit from all this that was going to be the harassment of the press, because they were all going to be behind him after the leak and he accepted happy,” he said and detailed that he was sent without cameras but accompanied by “a producer , because someone has to be in caring for him.”
On the leak, Valencia comments that “first we live it with regret, then with resignation and now we turn the page”.
Chilevisión opened an investigation to find those responsible for the video, but the show’s producer says it is unaware of the results of the inquest. However, he says the fact didn’t ruin the party: “We’re super proud of the show we’ve done, it started out as a 13-chapter summer bet and it’s already 320.”
The one who definitely didn’t have a chance of the party was Nicholas, who won about $420 million, if the $396 million he took last night is in addition to the $5 million he took in the last few weeks and the $17 million he amassed in previous appearances.
“We are making history by delivering the biggest prize in the history of Chilean television,” Valencia celebrates. “It’s about $420 million that’s taken from someone who also deserves it, who’s loved by the audience, talented, who froze their studies to join this program, so the issue of filtering turned the page and we’re super proud,” he says Producer.
Words of the winnerEscueto, as he was seen in the 53 chapters of “Pasapalabra” in which he participated, Nicolás Gavilán tells from the Trasan indemna capital that when he received the invitation of the channel to travel “I did not think about it, because bacan come to Buenos Aires”.
Did you feel overwhelmed after the leak?
I don’t know if so much, but when it was leaked, they told me they were going to bring me here because of the newsline harassment, and I said yes.
But you didn’t feel harassed?
No, not really.
Are you happy with your triumph?
Yes, I’m happy. I don’t know if I’ve managed to fully process it, but yes, I’m happy.
Maybe you have to wait and see your checking account…
hahaha yes and see also how much the money will be left for the tax issue.
What are your plans?
Buy an apartment, make some travel and stuff.
How did your life change the program?
It’s been entertaining to receive people’s affection, to ask me for pictures. Suddenly I get stressed, for example, when I go to a mall or something like I feel like they’re crowded with people watching me. Sometimes it stresses me a little bit.
