Premiere ‘Nightmare in Paradise’, a ‘reality’ in which the participants will live in a rural environment without electricity or hot water
In Telecinco, celebrities have done (almost) everything. Living together in houses, on paradise islands, dancing and even taking part in a jumping competition in a swimming pool. Now, in a new effort to surprise and captivate the increasingly discerning viewer, the chain is now premiering ‘Nightmare in Paradise’, a format based on the international hit ‘The Farm’ produced by Fremantle, in which the contestants run out of electricity. will have. , hot water or a bathroom and will have to face their daily lives without comfort, take care of the animals and perform the tasks of farming. For this first edition, Mediaset has chosen 16 popular characters to demonstrate their abilities for coexistence and living in the rural world for more than a century.
Telecinco’s new reality show, which premieres tomorrow at 9:55 PM, has been filming since the end of August in El Paraíso, an old restored farmhouse in Jimena de la Frontera (Cádiz). Lara Álvarez went to the city, in charge of the presentation of the gala on Thursday, where the most remarkable moments of living together will be seen and the mechanics of the competition will be developed, which will end with the final elimination of a participant. The presenter will also be responsible for the deliveries of the program in the ‘access prime time’ slot in which tests are carried out on the famous.
The Asturian makes his debut in this project as a solo presenter after being one of the most recognizable faces of ‘Survivors’ of the island of Honduras in recent years. “I’m like a girl with new shoes. I seize this opportunity with emotion, responsibility and getting involved with the format,” explains Lara Álvarez, warning that the “reality” on the farm “exceeds the intentions of celebrities”. “: “The participants are amazing. I don’t know where they get so much energy from day to night.” The winner will receive a prize of 20,000 euros.
Carlos Sobera will lead the live debate that Telecinco will broadcast on Sunday to comment on the highlights of the program. The Basque communicator focuses on “the attitude” of the participants and believes that ‘Nightmare in Paradise’ will also show “how essential work in the field is” at a time when people “want to leave and she is a city dweller”. “The owners of the farm are the animals, not the participants. They have to take care of them better than their own lives,” added Lara Álvarez.
The eclectic group of participants in the format includes sports journalist Pipi Estrada; Anabel Pantoja’s ex, Omar Sánchez; the actress and daughter of José Ortega Cano and Rocío Jurado, Gloria Camila Ortega; Peruvian model Mónica Hoyos; the bullfighter Victor Janeiro; host Alyson Eckmann; the second cousin of King Felipe VI, Juan Alfonso Milan; the Italian model Marco Ferri; the PSOE trans activist, Daniela Requena; the former participants of ‘Mujeres y Hombres y viceversa’ Patricia Steisy, Dani García and Marina Ruiz; the influencer Nadia Jémez; the ‘seer of the famous’, Israel Arroyo; the member of the Locomía group, Xavier Font; and Miguel Bosé’s businesswoman and sister, Lucía Dominguín.
Together with them will be an important figure in the development of the program: ‘El Guardés’, an expert in the tasks of the rural environment who will be responsible for entrusting them with a series of tasks, guiding them and giving them the methods and techniques to perform them and verify that they have been performed correctly. If they do, they get a reward, but if they don’t succeed in their mission, they get no benefits or can even be punished.
It is not the first time that the format ‘The Farm’, adapted in more than thirty countries, has been broadcast in Spain. Earlier, in 2004, Antena 3 already recruited a group of celebrities on a farm and seven years later Telecinco acquired the rights to the program under the name ‘Acorralados’. From Mediaset, however, they wanted to give a twist in the form of emission of this third version. The ‘reality’ is already being recorded and does not offer the main gala live, as if it were happening in other terrestrial spaces of the chain.
That is, the public will determine neither the expelled nor the winner. “It’s a very different format and adapted to the television that is currently being consumed,” explains Jaime Guerra, Mediaset’s production director. “This is a trend in the world in general, towards recorded reality shows. It is already happening with other formats, such as ‘La isla de las tentaciones’. There was no point in twisting a production line that works like that in other countries,” adds the Communications Group’s Content Director, Manuel Villanueva.
