Ilary Blasi: “Many things have changed in one year”
“It’s been exactly a year since we’ve seen each other – he continues – I left you with a claim: everything can change! And actually many things have changed. “As you know, a man who was close to me, who was by my side, is no longer there,” she says in a pained tone as viewers at home popcorn come out, certain that she is referring to Francesco Totti. The allusion is clear.
In reality, the presenter refers to Nicola Savino
Ilary Blasi, self-deprecating to the core, immediately shuffles the cards by bringing up a former workmate of his. “I’m talking about Nicola Savino who is following us from home”, she specifies. As if to say … because what did you understand? “Hello Nicola, this is the applause from the entire Isola dei Famosi studio. I send you a kiss, I know you are watching us, I love you ”, he adds, greeting his former commentator replaced by Enrico Papi.
The second “torpedo”: “For one who goes, there is always one who arrives”
The Mediaset presenter has not yet run out the arrows of his bow. “But you know… for someone who goes, there’s always someone who arrives”, she states, generating suspense again. So he mentions the name of Enrico Papi. “Sorry, but this looks like a replacement. One leaves and one arrives. Is that how it is done?” asks the new commentator. “Are you ready to be my new man?” the landlady relaunches. “Yes, I’m ready,” Papi replies.
Vladimir Luxuria teases the presenter: “Is it possible that you don’t understand German?”
Ilary Blasi introduces the second commentator Vladimir Luxuria who addresses her in German, the language of Bastian Muller, the Frankfurt entrepreneur who took the place of Francesco Totti in Ilary Blasi’s heart. “I don’t understand, I don’t understand anything,” says the Mediaset presenter in difficulty. “How do you not understand? Love is the best language teacher. Haven’t you learned German yet?” Vlady urges. Ilary ironically shuts her up: “But there are different languages. Sit down”.
