Pasapalabra to Award Record €2.7 Million Jackpot on Thursday as Manu–Rosa Rivalry Reaches Finale

Antena 3 has rebuilt its Thursday lineup to heighten suspense around Manu and Rosa’s long-running duel.

Overview

  • Antena 3 will air a 20:00 retrospective, a 21:45 El Hormiguero with both contestants, and an extended Pasapalabra at 23:00 that reveals the winner around 00:45.
  • Pablo Motos confirmed on air that the jackpot will be decided on Thursday, 5 February, with a prize of approximately €2,716,000.
  • Both finalists will visit El Hormiguero before the outcome is known, a twist on the show’s usual practice of hosting the winner the same day.
  • Manu has appeared in 434 episodes with €268,200 accrued and six near-misses; Rosa has 304 episodes, €167,400, and two near-misses.
  • The build-up includes scrutiny from ex-contestant Moisés Laguardia over Rosco transparency practices and Telecinco’s counter-promotion of larger Allá tú prizes.
