Beijing Express 2024: Megan’s collapse and the dark side of Maddalena Corvaglia

If there is a character who a Beijing Express is coming out slowly to the delight of the audience that is without a doubt Maddalena Corvaglia, competing together with Barbara Petrillo. Despite feigning nonchalance, it is clear that Maddalena cannot hide the fact that she wants to win, and this is why right from the first episode she chose to resort to all possible tricks to gain an advantage in the game: from the canoe to which she had attached herself to overcome the Romagnoli at alliances with the other couples competing to obtain favors at the right time. As the episodes and stages went by it became increasingly clear that she had a predilection for Italy-Argentinathat is for Antonella Fiordelisi and Estefania Bernal, and this is why, when she and Barbara won the seventh stage of Beijing Expressthe first in Sri Lanka, it seemed certain to everyone who it would have saved if not for one small detail: Fratm Artem and Antonio Orefice were also on the ballot for which her traveling companion has always had a weakness.

After a brief discussion not audible to the public, the Friends chose to keep Fratm and send Italy-Argentina homesaved at the last minute by the black envelope of Beijing Express which established that the stage was not preliminary. Jubilation, euphoria, but also a little bitterness from Maddalena who, in a low voice, perhaps thinking that she would not be filmed, decided to approach Italy-Argentina to apologise, showing a certain intolerance towards Barbara’s predilection for Antonio. The detail, naturally, did not go unnoticed even if, warrior as she is, we would have liked Corvaglia to have brought that hesitation out in front of everyone, even at the cost of making Fratm feel bad: there is nothing wrong with not agreeing with your partner about an elimination, but why whisper it instead of taking responsibility for those words that would have been edited and inserted into the table anyway? inside the episode? Maddalena is a fighter and an athlete, and that’s why we would have liked to see her stick out her claws even at the cost of hurting Petrillo.

For the rest, Beijing Express, with the arrival in Sri Lanka, he sanctioned the almost definitive collapse of poor Megan Riawho after having suffered quite a bit from the couple exchange with Artem the week before, found herself managing one Maddalena Svevi who loosened the reins, certain, perhaps, that her friend would have a finger on the pulse of the situation. Except Megan was actually exhausted, not to mention that disastrous fall from the bicycle to try to deliver the black flag of Beijing Express to Fratm in front of which no one stopped to help her. We really hope that the girl doesn’t give up, also because we haven’t seen such a determined competitor for a long time. Another, however, who has no intention of eating the dust appears to be Damiano Carrarawho after sending Fabio Caressa home without too many compliments scolded his brother several times Maximilian because he feared that by speaking too loudly to solve a puzzle he would inadvertently help couples nearby who were quick to take the hint. We understand that the program Sky Original produced by Banijay Italia revives a competition that can easily get out of hand, however the impression we had is that Massimiliano was subjected to the warrior spirit a little too much and Damiano’s strong personality, without being able to impose itself much. Perhaps, when Italy-Argentina said that Carrara decides everything in the Pastry Chefs – including the elimination of Caressa -, there is a kernel of truth: all that remains is to wait for the rest of the match to understand whether this is the case or not.
