Dancing with the Stars 2023, the near fight between Mammucari and Caprarica and the excesses to be controlled

There are many at the top who think that the more a program has duels to offer, the more it will gain a greater audience, and Dancing with the Stars is no exception. Even though he recruited one of the strongest casts that a television program has ever seen – the only real threat could be represented by Prime Video productions, which in any case have a budget that Rai can only admire through binoculars -, it is from the first episode that Dancing with the Stars seems to be looking comparison at all costs, putting on the table various provocations to the competitors so that they exceed in some way. It happened, for example, with Simona Venturawhich the judges rebuked for not sticking out their claws in the presence of the most biting judgments, but also with Teo Mammucari, which represents a Dancing with the Stars the Mughini quota, that is, that deliberately over-the-top character who shuffles the cards and seems functional to a program in search of controversy to be served hot.

During the episode aired on Rai1 on Saturday 11 November, there were many provocations from the latter: from digs at the juror Selvaggia Lucarelli, which Mammucari has repeatedly branded as insincere, telling her that at the next edition he will be the one to sit in her place behind the counter, Antonio Capraricatowards which the conductor of Free he seems bound by a deep antipathy. During the live broadcast Mammucari provoked him by defining the journalist as «a log that speaks English, a dog, a molossian.” Hence Caprarica’s angry response: «I am a molossian but a gentleman: you’re a bit rude. And I think you’d do well to take some lessons in manners, you’ve annoyed me.” It seemed to end there, but Davide Maggio’s blog explains that, behind the scenes of Dancing with the Starsit would have even developed between the two a near brawl averted only by those present who removed the two men before things escalated.

Leaving aside the fact that, most likely, this background will be addressed live again, we ask ourselves a very simple thing: Dancing with the Stars, which is slowly shortening the distance from Tu Sì que vales, he really needs these gimmicks to get people talking about themselves? The real doubt, at this point, is linked to such an experienced professional Milly Carlucci who, in the presence of arguments and provocations of this type, always seems to take a step back without making much of an effort to tone things down. Now: we understand that discussions often raise the ratings, however it is a little sad that such an attentive hostess, who she dedicates to Dancing with the Stars an almost maniacal care, step aside in this way. Perhaps, for the future, it would be more appropriate to make your voice heard and prevent excesses of this type from getting the better of the show which, right now, represents the true added value of Dancing with the Stars.
