Contestant Albert Coromina, popularly known as "the beast," brown "From Olot," has been eliminated after 158 programs. An absolute record number, which has allowed him to accumulate up to 69,500 euros. Thematic, always with a smile from ear to ear and offering a significant dose of theater and sense of humor.

Despite closing the epic with a somewhat random answer, the system bears no resemblance to the knowledge Simón has demonstrated over fifty programs.
