As we told you a few days ago, this March 31st,The surprise that ‘Falling in Love’ had was the departure of Karina Banda who, with the help of her previous partner Rafael Araneda, announced that she will now direct reality show ‘La Isla de Enamoranos’..
Barely half an hour before the end of the programme, with coconuts in hand, Rafael Araneda announced that Falling in Love will premiere his own reality show La Isla de Enamoranos, but not on UniMás or 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 then announce that the presenter of this reality will be his partner Karina Banda, who will settle on an island in Turkeylet’s remember that the production company producing both formats, Soho, is originally from this country.
With congratulatory banners, confetti and big hustle and bustle, Karina thanked her and assured her that she was looking forward to the opportunity, but she couldn’t hide her sad face, the ones he held throughout the show. He had to leave this new adventure that started 9 months ago when he got the opportunity to host his own show because Ana Patricia Gamez She resigned with the intention of devoting herself to motherhood 24/7.
Because sadness? For as far as we could know, nOr was it in his plans that his time on ‘Falling in Love’ would be so short nor Ana Patricia’s to returnif he had known, he might not have given up “El Gordo y la Flaca”, a position to which he cannot return because it is already occupied by Roberto Hernández.
But, would have decided to accept this other offer that the producer would have made him not only for a graceful exit but also for a new job opportunity.
What is “The Island of Lovers” about? a format similar to that used by her husband Carlos Ponce for Telemundo ‘For Love or for Money?’ moderated.with the difference that here too they will try to form pairs, but in the middle of an island.
How is “falling in love”? As we have already told you, today was Karina’s farewell and tomorrow Ana Patricia will “surprisingly” return to take her place in the driver’s seatto help Banda do the reality show? No, because the producer approached her a few months ago to ask her to come back.
Why do you want Ana Patricia back? It’s not by rating because although we don’t have numbers to share with you, The show is doing very well and has never fallen. But as far as we know Soho would love the chemistry between Rafael Araneda and Gámez, especially the latter’s nonchalance.
Let’s remember that 9 months ago Ana Patricia Gámez decided to give up “Falling in love”, affirming that she wanted to take a break from watching TV because she felt that her children were growing up very quickly and she missed a lot of her childhood. That he wanted to devote himself entirely to Giulietta, Gael, his family and his businesses.
But, Anita would have received an important and tempting offer to return and, after consultation and decision as a family, would have said “yes, yes”.
