Mariano Martínez was the special guest of MasterChef (Telefe, 11 pm) yesterday, Monday. The actor caused a moment of general confusion with his extreme sincerity in answering a crucial question from host Wanda Nara.
Last night’s challenge for the participants in the cooking reality show consisted of interrupting the preparation of their respective dishes when they were called to the center of the studio to play jenga.
And the Mariano Martínez’s role was to gradually replace the players in the kitchen at the time they had to go and demonstrate their skill by removing the wooden blocks with enough dexterity for the tower not to fall.
When they explained to the players that someone would replace them in the kitchen while they had to come to the front to play, Achille confessed on camera: “I just hope Wanda isn’t the one helping me.” But for her peace of mind, the driver introduced the guest.
“I welcome you to the kitchens of masterchef Mr. Mariano Martínez”, he announced. The actor greeted Wanda and the three members of the jury –Donato De Santis, Damian Betular and German Martitegui– and she asked him: “Are you looking at us?” “Yes, I look up to you, and my older daughter is a fan of yours,” she explained.
Until then, everything was relaxed. But it occurred to Wanda to ask the all-important question: “Do you cook?”. And it occurred to Mariano Martínez to answer with all the sincerity in the world: “Nothing”.
When he noticed that the participants, stunned by his answer, were staring at him, Mariano tried to tone down his statement and reassure them: “Yes, yes… I’m cooking something…”, he said.
And he pointed to one of the players in the competition: “Rodrigo was already afraid that I couldn’t take care of his plate.”
Rodrigo began to laugh at Martínez’s comment which, when touched, lowered his expectations: “All the same, I can’t assure you anything, Rodri.” Lost for lost, the cook has chosen to encourage the actor. “Calm down, calm down, I trust you,” he told her.
Achilles passed a bill to Wanda Nara
“I will be attentive to what they tell me, I will be your assistant and I will collaborate fully”, promised Mariano Martínez to the cooks.
“Achille, are you happy with Mariano’s help?”Wanda Nara asked the attendee. And on a night where everyone seemed to decide to say things right away, the young man passed a banknote to the driver: “Yes, great. E I hope you don’t throw things like my last sidekick at me“, he answered.
“Oops, the pressure has already started,” Mariano got a little scared. And Wanda explained to him: “Aquiles didn’t have a good experience, because when I was the one who had to help him, I got there and, of course, I saw something that was wrong (right) and I threw it at him.”
Having said that, Wanda did more and asked the host: “It’s something you can do too: you go there and if you see something burnt, you throw it away… It’s up to you…”.
“But what happened is that in that case she knew more,” Rodrigo jumped to defend Wanda’s actions when he had to be Achilles’ assistant. And again, sincerity without anesthesia appeared in the broadcast. “What a sock sucker!” his partner Achilles scolded. It seems that the night he presented yesterday was without masks masterchef.
