The edition of Collapse Saturday night was titled The promise, Because it was the day Àngel Llàcer was presenting the program, just as Ricard Ustrell had promised him long ago. The stars leave their toys behind. The edition could have been titled The imposture, because everyone seemed to be playing a role. Lácer turned it into a tailor-made party to take his friends. The trick is to emphasize this, so that the show shows the personal. They make the show of the cronyism and they show the emotional backstage of celebrities. It's the "we're important, but let's humanize ourselves" thing, which people like. "Thank you very much for being here," Llàcer said to Carlos Latre. And he burst out laughing at having to use that formality with someone he trusted. Lácer has mastered his television persona very well and executes it with haughty efficiency. The farce came with the interview with a porn addict whose business we didn't understand: a man in the dark, hooded, with a distorted voice and two little lights instead of eyes. He was a sinister being. "Why did you come?" Llàcer snapped, as if the individual had come to us with a warning. "What's your problem? What's wrong with you?" he insisted. And the man explained that with his testimony he wanted to help many children. It was even scarier. Between the reddish room and the giraffe behind him, it was worse than Machiavelli's move. She seemed like the incarnation of evil or a joke that would end in astonishment. In any case, a TV3 special on adolescent sexuality already featured a porn addict without the need for that morbid montage.

The climax of the program was the interview with Ricard Ustrell on his own television show. For someone to be interviewed on their own show is an astonishing act of vanity. Of course, Ustrell made it seem like it was hard for him, but that it was just a whim of Llàcer's, as if the director had lost control of his show. The occasion served to officially announce that Ustrell is leaving. Collapse and announce the vacancy. Llàcer interviewed him as a friend to make him the hero of the world of work and family. The final ringer was Jordi Basté. The RAC1 journalist was clearly uncomfortable and insecure throughout the interview, and it didn't seem to be just his seat's fault. "I wanted to protect Ricardo. Not you!" Llàcer told him when Basté mumbled to some questions. One thing Carlos Latre, Ricard Ustrell, and Jordi Basté's answers had in common was their ambiguity and lack of definition, with more rhetoric than frankness. It's when this imposture appears that you get the feeling that the story being told is a showcase that has nothing to do with reality.

The final meeting of the two morning radio rivals was a staged scene that, despite everyone's efforts to normalize it, didn't convey any particular sincerity, fun, or good vibes. Maybe it was the ego overload on the set, which left no room for anything else.
