The 3Cat platform has launched a talent show frivolous and grotesque. The title perfectly summarizes the theme: Clean and polishedIt's a competition hosted by Maria Gomez where the winner is the one who cleans up the most mess. The waste from a barbecue area, the stands of a football stadium, festival buses, campsite toilets, the sand on the beach after a drinking session, a hotel room, or a party venue. It works through team competitions, where participants are eliminated and a panel of experts evaluates their effectiveness. There are also challenges related to tidiness, organization, and specific cleaning tasks. The pretext for justifying this supposedly educational game is that it raises awareness about recycling. A failed excuse when it's obvious that all the mess the contestants have to clean is a staged and forced performance. The program itself is a generator of mess because it uses kilos and kilos of food waste, cardboard, glass, plastic, scrap material, and other waste just to create the garbage that the contestants will clean. It's as if they'd ransacked the shelves of a huge discount store, scattering everything and ruining it. A cleaning contest where the amount of trash is unbelievable already shows that it's more than just... show that of talent, especially from those who do it.
