‘Montoya, Por Ehsan!’: Broke the internet inside the Spanish reality show

The definition of a new three-word of reality TV gold is: “Montoya, Por Ehsan!”

If you have been anywhere near social media in the last fortnight, then you will know that the raw drama that established the Internet has not come from Hollywood, but played in the clip posted from Spanish reality TV show template Gaya love tragedy island.

Contestant Jose Carlos Montoya’s spilling recession has been seen cheating on his girlfriend Anita with another man who is like a love island with a sensor on steroid.

In the island of temptation, the joints are taken to a tropical island, separate and sending separately to the attractive single -filled villas to test their loyalty. In a final turn, every step taken is recorded for the other half to see.

Forced to see a graphic real-time stream of betrayal, Montoya’s feelings were swollen until she broke all the rules of the show.

Host Sandra Bandra (“Montoya, Por Ehsaan!”) Now blind for infamous arguments, he drops the beach down to face the pair, tagging on his shorts in pain in the sky as an electric streak in the sky Is.

A second clip reflects the resulting collision: Anita flipped the script, begging for forgiveness, before Montoya dropped into her tear.

“This is cinema,” an X user wrote, posting a clip which has now been seen on a shocking stage on the platform of 224 meters since February 4.

“Montoya. Stress … You don’t need to speak Spanish to understand, it is crazy.”

Nevertheless, the people behind Spain’s temptation island see its success as more than the shock value. Executive manufacturer Juanara Gonzalo told me that he is very happy with “completely unpredictable” global reaction, and believes the show’s appeal lies in its relativity.

“In Love Island, all people are single. In the island of India, real pairs are, and they are putting their love at risk,” they say. “I think (viewers) also know this. These emotions and reactions cannot be fake.”

“Everyone wants to know that when their lover or girlfriend is doing when they are not with them. We can imagine, but we don’t know. The island allows the audience to ask: ‘What will I do in that situation ? ” ,

The component of magic to create this work is carefully casting. “Montoya and Anita were perfect – they are very emotional and expressive,” they say.

Gonzalo called Montya a singer by business with previous TV experience, a “special man”. At the age of 31, he told Castor that he “will never experience love before before”, “with Anita” for a year “every day”.

“She is a strong woman with a lot of characters,” says Gonzalo.

The Sun Senior Shobiz Reporter Loti Hulme says that the “authentic spirit” of the program distinguishes it from contestants like Love Island, Love is Blind, at first sight of marriage and naked dating.

Looking at such unexpected and raw sentiments, it can stand out for the British and American audiences, which have been used for bright and well-worn competitive reality forms in chelsey such as love island and semi-scripted reality shows.

“It was refreshed and something was almost shocking to see so raw, because it’s something that we don’t see in reality TV shows in Britain nowadays,” says Hulme.

“We are at a point with reality TV culture, where we are thinking that ‘what will happen’ – are the contestants really their authentic themselves … or they are followed and after a brand deal?”

With the built -in storyline, commercially Reality TV to influence the pipeline The existing formats “forecast” have stated that the hulme adds.

The audience figures reflect this.

Love Island is currently aired to its All Stars version on ITV2, which began last year. The 2024 final attracted the 1.3 meter audience – A sharp decline from six million peaks Its 2019.

While the figures of this season are solid, Even launch of BBC Two audience matching at nightThe show now usually dominates only non-un-level channels.

A curious of the Montya incident is bizarre that the Spanish show is not available in the UK – an irony that has only promoted its illegal appeal on social media.

The previous UK and the US editions failed to launch, and production company Banjay says it currently does not plan to transmit the Spanish version in the UK.

Montodown of Montya after capturing the Eye of Love Island Host Maya Jama, he posted: “They will never allow it on UK TV. But for so many reasons. But it is one of the best things I ever saw Is”.

Asked why, he simply replied: “People will complain”.

Before this, like elder brother, Has been the subject of love island Complaints of,

A hot confrontation between 2021 love islands Fay and Teddy on Teddy’s behavior in Casa Amor (a section similar to the base of the temptation island) 25,000 complaints were made,

Despite surprised reactions, Gonzalo’s show has provoked the show, says it operates within strict boundaries, suitable for its primetime slot.

“Everything we record is not aired,” they say. “We are very careful – we only show a few second sexual content.”

The island of temptation is the latest in a string of the high-octane Spanish dating show.

For example, take Falso Amor (or deep fake love). Currently streaming on Netflix, it intensifies the base of the temptation island by asking couples to decide whether each other’s videos are real or highly assured AI deepfake.

So is there a material that is shocking to the British audience in Spain in a different way?

When I increase Zara Holland of Love Island Her Miss Great Britain snatched the title After having sex in the show in 2016, Gonzalo is surprised and welcomes the more light-hearted response to the Internet to Anita’s sexual scenes.

“Like other countries, things in Spain are moving beyond the past – it is positive to our attitude about women and sexuality” they say, adding a gender leads to double standards.

In Britain, more investigation and awareness about the impact of reality TVs has been increased. Death of many former contestants,

When I suppress Gonzalo on this, looking at the intensity of Montya and Anita’s experience, she says that a team of psychologists monitors the contestants first, during and after.

Montya received special support after escaping from his beach.

“We ensured that he was not alone, that he had a safe place to process everything. It was important for us to provide him the right help,” he says.

Looking forward, Netflix is ​​to resume an American version of the show next month.

Gonzalo is ready for fighting. He laughs at the fickle suggestion of the Internet that the beach scene should win the Oscar, then says: “My team is worth all the awards. An Oscar. And one BAFTA!”
