During the new episode of Chain reactionon air Friday 14 June 2024 on Rai1 and conducted by Pino Teachthe new arrivals, Match Points (Rossella, Marie Antoinette and Monica) challenge the reigning champions, that is Polposition (Cristina, Tecla and Elisa), who retain the title but get lost a little in the Winning Agreement and at the end of the Last Chain, when they have to guess the word chosen by the authors.
Chain Reaction, episode 14 June 2024: what happened to the Polpositions
Another episode full of enthusiasm for the three Polpositions, whose smile, which never fails on their faces, is now contagious. Reactions that are often exaggerated but dictated solely by the happiness of the moment are the ones we see live in every round of the game show, and it is really nice to watch them rejoice over a guessed word or a spot-on song. However, gaffes are never lacking, as happens, for example, with the last word of the first musical chain, when Insegno asks Tecla what Crime and Punishment (these are the last two words paired in the game) and she replies: “A novel?“, as if trying to guess. And then none of the three can tell the host the name of the author of the quoted text.
But it’s not just the Polpositions at play: the ones challenging them are the Match Points, who guess the song of the second musical chain – Bye bye of The List Representative – but Marie Antoinette calls the artist “something from the List“, making Pino Insegno and the public on social media burst out laughing. We experience another decidedly comical moment in the “When, where, how and why” and in particular when the word to find is “rubber” and the first two sentences read: “When a seagull disappears between the house and the sea…“. All the women competing try, they try every path, even the most unlikely, and then Teach, ironically, says: “Here the authors use particular phrases, I too am amazed like you, and I am reading the word! What they wrote is logical, but they are not well“. Then, once the word has been found, the host adds: “This is beautiful, all very funny… then we’ll talk about it with the authors…“. However, he later complimented the imagination of the latter and the work they did to entertain the Rai1 audience.
During the Winning Agreement, the Match Points, who play with 5 seconds less because they get the Zot wrong (therefore giving 5 more seconds to their opponents), go home after having guessed only 6 words, while the Polposition – they find 9 – they start the round ofLast Chainvery easy by the way, with a prize pool of 111 thousand euros, halved only once to purchase the third element, reaching the last step with 55,500 euros. What term does “picture” and “everything” have in common? The initials of the word are “Sp”, while the “o” is the final letter. The girls focus on “space”, but the authors’ solution is “split”.
The controversies on social media
They continue controversy on social media inherent in the very easy chains of Chain reaction: “They make them so easy it could be a mirror“, “Before we talked about the food chain… or so… Here we talk about the elementary chain!!!!“, “With these simple chains girls will never lose“. It’s still: “Too easy, come on. So it’s all a bit exaggerated“, “Last year’s champions (remind me their name) will be happy because they always took impossible shots…“, “It’s like being in kindergarten“. Not only that, because criticism is also for the word chosen by the authors of the program: “But go to hell…“, “Everything broken…. what the fuck“, “If anything ‘outspoken’ to his father. He wowed.“, “But go, go“, “I did not get this“, “The authors are not well, Teach also says so“.
Then the controversy against Polposition: “He even had the doubt that the bone wasn’t right!!! But this trio doesn’t think they’re prodigious?! Come on, they would have eaten them in salad“, “I don’t think I can stand them for much longer, especially Tecla“, “‘What is the Bari region’ is a telegram, but this year the warnings have been abolished“. And finally, some criticism of Pino Insegno: “What a nervous and self-centered Pino Insegno, we are not interested in knowing what you would have said at every word“, it’s still: “I don’t like him at all as a host. A thousand thousand times better as a voice actor“.
