Asia loses the challenge to Amici but Maria De Filippi gives her a second chance with the audience bench

the episode of Friends of Maria de Filippi this afternoon opened with the challenge between Asia and Claudia. The latter stayed a week at the behest of Raimondo Todaro, the teacher who today chose which of the two will remain in the talent show class. “This week I needed it a lot because I managed to unlock it, not as I would like but much more“these were Asia’s words before knowing the result of the competition. The dance teacher between the two chose Claudia, but Maria De Filippi decided to insert “the audience bench”: the audience will decide whether Asia will stay or not. .

Todaro eliminates Asia and chooses Claudia in the first challenge of the episode

After the dance, the two dancers Asia and Claudia found themselves facing the “judge” Raimondo Todaro, a teacher who wanted the challenge. “I am here as a teacher who has to take care of you in a long and tortuous way. My choice goes to Claudia” the teacher’s words before being attacked by classmates Alessandra Celentano and Emmanuel Lo. “It was all written down, you’re a judge. Learn to be a teacher, increase classes, you have to change your way of thinking. When he says “You stress me out”, that doesn’t exist. You have to go and you do. go through the stress. mockery from the start, what do you expect in a month? He’s made progress, he’s given the best he can where it’s lacking. the words of the classical dance teacher.

Emmanuel Lo also did not agree with Todaro’s gesture, commenting: “I didn’t understand your reasoning. You didn’t understand where you wanted to go with Asia, today you make a substitution that happened in a strange way“.

Maria De Filippi inserts a new rule, the public bench

After the master’s result, Maria de Filippi intervened and revealed the novelty of the program. He showed a sign to the dancer with the words “audience seat”: the audience will decide their fate.

It is an opportunity given to a student, replaced or eliminated, who would normally have to leave school unless a teacher wants him with them. With that the student has the opportunity to stay if the public wants, a televote will decide if you will stay at the school. If so, you will be followed by Elena D’Amario and Maestro Porcelluzzi.

The audience bench is just one: if any other student is substituted or eliminated, a televote will be opened between those who already have the audience bench and the likely eliminated. Professional ballerina Elena D’Amario then took the floor and congratulated the ballerina: “Asia came here without ever having studied, even though she doesn’t have any technical and physical skills somehow you got everyone in the castings. In your style you have technique, to study and deepen and that goes for all of us. You conquered the bank in your own way and I believe that Maestro Porcelluzzi is with me on this one. The progress that Asia is making is not day after day, hour after hour, of course. You work hard and grow. It’s very inspiring for us.“.
