The program tried to download the decibels of the dispute. “The cockroaches are disgusting, yes, drain again. Those were not the ones used in the challenge. They were otherwise, cultured, clean!” Noted a member of the production team of the program in the same social network.

“This explanation falls into cynicism!” replied the prime minister to these justifications.
Our fault was not to make clear that it was an animal edible, approved by doctors and specialists and even recommended as solid and reliable institutions like the OAS (sic) , “Facebook said in Jesus Alzamora, one of the show’s hosts.

social networks exploded weekend in derision and condemnation to the TV and orders the authorities to intervene in this type of competition.
