Ana Mena and the “Wheel of Luck” syndrome

Ana Mena and the Wheel of Luck syndrome

There is no question that Ana Mena's self-confidence was one of the surprises on New Year's Eve. Santiago Segura's marketing talent is also shaking. Not only did he smuggle in the titles of his songs, but he also earned huge applause by replacing the glass of cava with a margarita, because traditions are meant to be torn down – and because almost no one actually likes cava – although the gesture is more than… is spontaneous and suggests calculated sponsorship of a tequila brand.

The Mexican drink would have made sense in the hands of Tigres de Nuevo León signing Jenni Hermoso, but the striker was there as a symbol of higher values. He also had the task of handing the cloak to Ramón, a gesture as common as it was unusual. If an alien civilization had been watching the scene – why not, the Omicronians were watching – they would have bet that the garment would land on the unprotected Mena. We Earthlings realize that even if thousands of capes had arrived on set, none of them would have covered Mena, Pedroche, Fitch or Pardo.

Women are never cold on TV, it's Wheel of Fortune Syndrome. While Jorge Fernández's wardrobe adapts to the seasons and ranges from chinos and polos to corduroy and wool, stewardess Laura Moure always wears a summer look. This has been happening since the roulette wheel has been spinning, although it is becoming more and more outdated by the day. The problem is not in Moure's skin, there would be more missing, but that the opposite never happens. I imagine it's the fault of naughty executives (and executives), although I'm sure there's a lot of public who would love that for Fernández It would brighten up your after-dinner meal by showing shapely biceps and thighs to advantage. Networks should do away with some traditions, with a margarita of course.
