This is Life is one of Telecinco's most unexpected successes this television season. The afternoon show presented by Sandra Barneda arrived in mid-June with a temporary task: to occupy the space left by Sálvame on the grid before TardeAR debuted in September. However, her good work and the positive dynamic between collaborators and topics gave her a renewal and a place on the regular schedule of the Mediaset channel.
Since then, there have been few changes that have occurred in the cast of the program, but one of the most notable has arrived this Tuesday afternoon. Sandra Barneda and César Muñoz announced to the public the incorporation of a mysterious new collaborator, who turned out to be Carmen Alcayde. A figure who soon caused a stir at the regular table, as the person who was his archenemy a few months ago was present: José Antonio Avilés.
Both were involved in one of the biggest discussions in the history of Big Brother VIP, as well as a multitude of subsequent exchanges. “I don't care what he says about me. I'm not thinking about games. Everything he says about me is to me what he is. He seems like a very bad guy to me,” the new member of the program expressed at the time, before the already recurring collaborator of Así es la vida accused her of being a “strategist” to secure a place in the final.
The reunion between Alcayde and Avilés has been tense, but the Sevillian has made it clear at all times that what happened in Guadalix de la Sierra is a thing of the past. However, the Valencian actress soon asked him to “play the story” after trying to force her hand at GH VIP when it came to settling pending accounts. Tension has continued to bubble in the air, even with Avilés attacking her after a comment from Suso Álvarez.
The two collaborators formed a kind of tandem to express the defects of the new addition. Avilés claimed that he made his life impossible, while Álvarez claimed that perhaps he had problems expressing his complications in front of the public. Sandra Barneda has tried to reduce the tension with a humorous comment, indicating her good relationship with Alcayde and hoping that she would not attack him in that way.
Another instance of tension has been generated with Alejandra Rubio, after Avilés assured that he was behaving “falsely” with her when thanking her for his welcome. The collaborator insisted that he had given María Teresa Campos's granddaughter “even her identity card.” Moments later, Así es la vida recalled the notorious discussion between the two, in which he called her a “leech” and Alcayde responded by accusing him of acting kindly towards his superiors.
