For this stage, they had the support of prominent Spanish artists who helped them add time in the final Rosco. Manu accumulated 59 seconds, while Rosa added 46, keeping the tension until the very last moment.

Thanks to this boost, the contestant started with a slight advantage, accumulating 2 min. 24 sec. (144 seconds) compared to Rosa's 2 min. 11 sec. (131 seconds).
