The TV contest presented by Roberto Leal has been one of the most watched and appreciated on television for years. Its first program was broadcast on July 24, 2000. In its beginnings, it could be watched on Antena 3, where it remained until 2006. A year later it moved to Telecinco, until 2019. Since 2020, this program can be watched every afternoon from Monday to Fridays from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Antena 3. Telecinco tried to prolong the gossip news to become a leader. However, Antena 3 was the channel that managed (every day more) to add viewers.
Without a doubt, it is one of the Spanish programs that has distributed the most money (Eduardo Benito was the contestant who won the largest jackpot in the history of the program, 2,190,000 euros). At the same time, in 2010, this contest won the Special Jury Prize at the 2010 Ondas Awards for 10 Years of Success on Television. To this day, it is one of the most watched programs in all of Spain, which places it as the undisputed leader in its timeslot. And the success of the show depends, in large part, on having loyal viewers for some of the contestants who manage to become a family member of those on the other side of the screen.
