What we told you a day ago became official, and this Thursday, Karina Banda said goodbye to go host ‘The Island of Falling in Love’.
Almost half an hour before it ended the program, with coconuts in hand, Rafael Araneda announced that ‘Enamorrnos’ will premiere its own reality show, ‘La Isla de Enamoranos’, but not on UniMás, nor on Univision, but on TelevisaUnivision’s biggest bet, ViX.
And although we had already told you exclusively, the mystery continued for a few more minutes to later announce that the presenter of said reality would be his partner Karina Banda, who will settle on an island in Turkey, let’s remember that the production company that produces both formats, Soho, is originally from that country.
With congratulatory signs, confetti, and a great hubbub, Karina thanked her, assured that she was excited for the opportunity, but she could not hide her sad face, which she maintained throughout the show. She had to leave this new adventure that began 9 months ago, when she was given the opportunity to lead her own show, because Ana Patricia Gámez resigned with the intention of dedicating herself to being a mother 24/7.
Why the sadness? Because as we could know, it was not in his plans that his time in ‘Falling in love’ would last so little, nor that of Ana Patricia to return, possibly if he knew he would not have given up ‘El Gordo y la Flaca’, a position he cannot to return because Roberto Hernández is already occupying it.
However, he would have decided to accept this other offer that the producer would have given him not only to have an elegant exit, but also to have a new job opportunity.
What is ‘The Island of Falling in Love’ about? a similar format to the one her husband, Carlos Ponce, hosted for Telemundo ‘For Love or for Money?’, with the difference being that here they will also seek to form couples but in the middle of an island.
How is ‘Falling in Love’? As we told you, today was Karina’s farewell and tomorrow Ana Patricia will return ‘as a surprise’ to take her place as host, to help Banda have the opportunity to do the reality show? No, because the producer approached her a few months ago to ask her to come back.
Why do they want Ana Patricia back? It is not by rating, since, although we do not have numbers to share with you, the show is doing very well and never fell. But, as we learned, Soho would very much like the chemistry between Rafael Araneda and Gámez, and especially the latter’s self-assurance.
Let’s remember that 9 months ago, Ana Patricia Gámez decided to give up ‘Falling in Love’, stating that she wanted to take a break from television because she felt that her children were growing up so fast and she was missing out on a lot of her childhood. That he wanted to dedicate himself fully to Giulietta, Gael, his family and his companies.
However, Anita would have received an important and tempting offer to return and after consulting and deciding as a family, she said “that yes, yes”.
