Dancing with the Stars, the testimonials: The greed for profit on Banfi (rating 0), Mammucari finally free (rating 8)

Lorenzo Tano, Siffredi’s son, is not looking for a wife (but “he has to”): Rating 5

You would like to hug him. 27 years old, graduate, clean face. China blue has as much to do with dancing as Estoril blue, but Lorenzo Tano is clearly on Dancing with the Stars because of his father Rocco Siffredi. The famous relationship is certainly the reason why we see him in the competition, but there is more: for months, if not years, an image restyling has been carried out for the king of porn, that is, his father. Already in 2017 he was a regular participant on the Island of the Famous, today he preaches on Instagram about the importance of sex education for young people, supports the rights of the rainbow community by participating in drag shows in “Non Sono una Signora” and so on further. While he is conducting his controversial “Rocco Siffredi Academy” with girls who are barely of age, he suggests to Arisa – who doesn’t even think about it – that they make “the hardcore film of the century” together. Short circuits need to be smoothed out, perhaps through the participation of his flawless Lorenzo on Dancing with the Stars: the studio and the jury welcome him like a little Buddha. At 15 he got engaged to a girl with whom he wanted to start a family when he was 21. The story ended recently because she didn’t feel ready for such big responsibilities. As a dancing couple with the 25-year-old dancer Lucrezia Lando, Rossella Erra already sees them as “Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday”. And the jury also predicts a beautiful love story between the two. A script is already written. Even if the boy, the dance and the love are, at least for now, three desperately parallel lines. It doesn’t matter: there’s just a lot of chatter on the racetrack, people wonder whether he’s better looking or more polite. What a bore, what a beard.

Mammucari, be free again (“Let’s have fun, we’re not in prison!”): Voice 8

More recently, Rai has demonstrated a bizarre superpower: restoring TV life to Mediaset personalities who had died out over time under Biscione’s yoke. It happened to the reborn Alessia Marcuzzi between Boomerissima and guests full of vigor that Pinella, locked up in the management of L’Isola dei Famosi, had forgotten. “Dancing with the Stars 2023” promises to pull off the miracle again with Teo Mammucari, who is already a loose cannon of the edition. He leaves shortly before midnight and complains: “If you made me wait any longer, I would start making out with Lambertucci.” For days he has been awaiting the final ranking on social media and claiming that the game is rigged. Because of course he will win. For Carolyn Smith he is “a natural swinger”, while Zazzaroni already defines him as a “possible winner” and Mariotto even gives him a 7 the first time. Lucarelli, who holds back enthusiasm, believes that dancing as a showman is “half nonsense.” “Selvaggia, you’re insulting the winner, that’s not good!” he replies with great self-irony. His philosophy resists all criticism and is just one: “We’re putting on a show, we’re not in prison!” Anyone who takes themselves too seriously here, as in life, is screwed. After escaping the jury of Tu Sì Que Vales, where he was held hostage until last year, Mammucari is finally free here. As in the famous program that launched it in 2000. With these requirements it will be fun.

The Terrible Profiteering of Grief by Lino Banfi (crying in despair): Rating 0

This is not how the grandfather of Italy is treated. Lino Banfi, 87 years old, lost his wife Lucia last February and is struggling with grief. They met in 1951 and from that first meeting remained together throughout their lives. “I don’t want to fall into pietism, even my children have told me several times not to do what they shout on TV.” These are the actor’s intentions, but the program does everything to implement them in vain. And unfortunately he succeeds. For his baptism on the title, the authors assigned him “Cinque Giorni” by Michele Zarrillo, a song that he shared with his wife Lucia, so much so that together they changed the lyrics to make it even more “couple-like”. . “Free Grandfather of a Family Doctor” then dances these poignant tones with the enlarged depiction of his lover smiling at him from the LED wall. At the end of the performance, he burst into tears and covered his face with his hands. He then apologizes profusely because he actually wanted to avoid giving in to the sadness. In this context, concocted with sadistic art, even a gargoyle would have broken down sobbing. A real prank on an 87-year-old who, as he says, still makes a comment about his missing wife on television every evening at home, only to realize that she is no longer there. Pure pain gain, bad television. Ruthless indeed.

Ventura is always SuperSimo (and not a “slapper”): Rating 8.5

“I had much more than I could have dreamed of as a child.” Simona Ventura is therefore one of the strongest competitors on paper (and not only) in this edition. Her partner Giovanni Terzi is also in the competition, whom the presenter thanks for making her “a better person than in the past”. «My life changed in 2018 when my son Nicolò survived an attack. From then on I no longer take a moment for granted and live everything even more intensely. On the track he rages with Samuel Peron and does well too. So much so that the perfidious Mariotto feels like “making a statement: Simona Ventura is dancing”. Could it have been because of Peron’s accusations that last week reminded her not to “hit” while dancing? Perhaps. Definitely an excellent debut. Confirmed by the enthusiasm of Rossella Erra, but also by that of Alberto Matano, who points out: “In you I see the eye of the tiger (ed.). Following the question Francesca Fagnani always asks, I want to ask you how you feel like a beast. Ventura replies: “Malgioglio had defined me as a black panther some time ago. I find myself there again. SuperSimo is back. Whether presenter, juror or competitor, she always remains the usual, irrepressible beast of the stage.

Sara Croce cries because she has the problem of being too beautiful: Grade 5-

In the last issue it was openly declared, albeit in the form of a joke: “The competitor who said he was happy, they eliminated them in the third episode.” A tearful editorial line that wins, it cannot be changed. And so here we are before another drama, that of Sara Croce. The 25-year-old, former Mother Nature of Ciao Darwin and Bonas of Avanti un Altro, is now taking part in Dancing with the Stars 2023 and defines himself as “David” due to his young age and the shortness of the curriculum compared to the others. the cast he sees as “Goliath.” So far there is nothing to complain about. However, in the introductory clip, the girl begins to cry. Reason? “I’ve always been a model and that makes me very fixed, even blocked, in my feelings,” she says. When “her” dancer Luca Favilla points out that she is not only beautiful but also very intelligent, Unser whines desperately and he intervenes to calm her down: “You’re not used to hearing that, are you? » . Ours also defends itself on the track. But we must be prepared, in the episodes where she remains in the competition, to endure the narrative of “Bonas,” which seeks to convince the audience that her own beauty is nothing more than a disabling obstacle. Poor star. When a good morning begins, call him Croce. And indeed.

Carlotta Mantovan, the elegance of delicacy (and those yellow flowers): rating 9

As soon as Carlotta Mantovan has finished her dance, the juror Fabio Canino apologizes to her: “I didn’t include you in my hypothetical top 5. I was wrong.” For Mariotto, the competitor is endowed with “unparalleled grace” and a “true perfectionist”. In fact, it performs very well on the track for a baptism of fire. In addition, she also impresses with the shy tenderness that has always characterized her: in the introductory clip to the performance, she inevitably talks about her love for the late Fabrizio Frizzi: “It’s a pain that never goes away, but with time you learn it.” live with it. Luckily I have our little Stella, who has the same smile and attitude towards others as her father. He always presents himself with a generosity and empathy that reminds me of him every day. At the end he reveals a very sweet detail: “When Stella and I see a field full of yellow flowers, we say hello to dad because that was his favorite color.” Mantovan says she is relaxed, or rather “more relaxed”. And he has already made a great impression in the race. Is a protagonist born?

Wanda Nara “trade unionist”, but also a big unknown: vote 6-

“It is not right that the jury can give a 0 to the participants, the minimum should be a 1 for those who at least appear on the dance floor.” With this very first statement, Wanda (or “Vuanda”, no one in the studio has so far completely understood how to pronounce her name) Nara gave the title “Unionist” to the issue. And so far he’s actually not even wrong. Only no one had ever thought of it before. But who is Wanda Nara? “In Italy they know me as Mauro Icardi’s wife and manager. However, they are not just that. I started working at the age of five (he says, editor’s note) and I feel like a “chicken mother” for my children, always present.” The competitor reveals that she takes part in the talent show for VIP dancers precisely for her little ones: “When they see me dancing, they think I’m fine.” And that’s why I’m here to reassure them.” Nara lives with an early diagnosis of leukemia and when doctors gave her the green light to take part in “Dancing with the Stars,” she accepted Milly Carlucci’s suggestion. Also, he claims, for the benefit of the next generation. In the introductory clip, Lucarelli talks about this very sensitive topic and wipes away tears: “With an eight thousand carat diamond, it seemed like a perfect South American soap.” I hope that this TV experience really helps you get to know me, because so far I still have “I didn’t understand anything about you.” Will Wanda (or “Vuanda”?) remain an unknown? If so, we are already very well prepared for it.
