180º turn with Manu and Rosa on 'Pasapalabra': What almost no one expected has happened

The unexpected has happened on 'Pasapalabra,' and the duel between Manu and Rosa has taken a 180º turn that changes everything

The tension on the set of Pasapalabra has reached one of its highest points. Against all odds, Manu pulled off a spectacular comeback in El Rosco that allowed him to tie with Rosa for the fortieth time. This unexpected twist left the show's followers breathless and saved both contestants from the dreaded Blue Chair.

The day began with Rosa taking the lead thanks to the 136 seconds (136 s) she had accumulated, which she managed with confidence. The Galician answered the first questions correctly, but chose to hold back her strategy and pass on the more complex ones. Meanwhile, Manu had four seconds less, but he also got off to a good start, answering five questions and quickly returning the turn.

During the first round of El Rosco, the balance between both contestants was clear. Rosa finished this initial round with 19 correct answers and 21 seconds (21 s) left on the clock. Manu, who reached Z first, preferred not to take a risk with the definition of "large pin" and stopped with 19 correct answers and 24 seconds (24 s).

Nobody imagined this outcome between Rosa and Manu in Pasapalabra

The tension grew when Rosa managed to reach 22 correct answers and stopped without hesitation, setting the bar high. Manu then had 20 correct answers and just 11 seconds (11 s) remaining, which seemed insufficient to achieve a tie. However, in a brilliant and precise performance, he got two more definitions right before running out of time, tying the score at 22.
