Overview
- Rodríguez, a 32-year-old Argentine-born Galician and Spanish-language instructor, says she prepared for roughly five years, studying about five hours a day before her year and three months on the show.
- She sealed the jackpot by answering the final Rosco clue with “Morrall,” referring to the NFL’s 1968 AP MVP, with three seconds remaining.
- After the broadcast, social media users questioned whether her spoken response matched the surname, but host Roberto Leal defended the ruling as correct pronunciation in English and the program has stood by the decision.
- Former long-running contestant Orestes Barbero renewed criticism of the Rosco’s occasional ultra-obscure items and argued prizes should be updated, also noting veteran players face fatigue disadvantages against fresher challengers.
- Rodríguez told reporters the transfer of winnings is expected in two to three months, and Antena 3 has begun onboarding new contestants, including Óscar, Edgar and Alejandro.
