Reality TV program From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pasapalabra is an Argentine television program that replicates the format of the Spanish program of the same name, which in turn is based on the British contest The Alphabet Game, and has been broadcast in intervals since 2002. It began on 7 January 2002, on Azul TV with Claribel Medina.[1] In January 2016, 15 years later, the format returned to broadcast television with Iván de Pineda as host for El trece,[2] until the end of 2020. Months later, the network Telefe acquired the rights and revived the production, starting on 1 March 2021.[3]

The Alphabet Game Pasapalabra |
The program featured the hosting of Claribel Medina in January 2002 on Azul TV and then returned in 2016 completely renewed, on eltrece and hosted by Iván de Pineda . Since then, it has broadcast four uninterrupted seasons.[citation needed]
In April 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the cycle went off the air after several repetitions.[citation needed]
In November 2020, it was confirmed that the program would return in the first quarter of 2021 but this time on Telefe.[4]
The program consists of two teams (blue and orange) of three people, where the captain is the participant, who is accompanied by two famous guests. During the first stage of the chapter, the teams compete in different games whose objective is the sum of seconds for the final game, called "the rosco". In the latter only the captains play, who compete for the jackpot. The winner of the chapter that does not complete "the rosco" will be able to continue participating in the next one.
