Mujeres y Hombres y Viceversa was one of the most peculiar and popular formats on Spanish television in the last decade. Mediaset managed to turn complete strangers and singles into striking figures, who were looking to find a romantic relationship with the help of the format. On his set we met characters who became famous such as Rafa Mora, Tamara Gorro, Omar Montes, Sofía Suescun, Suso Álvarez or Noel Bayarri.
Precisely the latter has been the interviewee of the podcast of the cosmetics brand Druni, coinciding with the tenth anniversary of his participation in the program. During his intervention, Bayarri confessed the salary that the tronistas and suitors received for their appearances on the set with Emma García, surprising due to the small figure he gave. In addition, he has detailed with Bernardo Casp everything that happened behind the scenes of his finale.
Asked if he could make a living from his role in MYHYV, Bayarri was forceful: “Not with what the program paid you. It was ridiculous, they were symbolic amounts. When you were a suitor I think it was 100 euros per day you recorded, plus 50 if you had a date. About six programs were recorded a month, so you can imagine, so you weren’t going to earn more than that. Shit, 600 euros or 700 euros for that. Then where there was profitability was in bowling, in club events.
In this sense, the native of Lanzarote dropped a large sum regarding these collaborations. “You could charge up to 3,000 or 3,500 euros per gig, and some of those I have met have had up to three gigs in the same week. At first, bowling was something that boosted your ego a lot. It was a lot of money for a normal person, so people were after them. “So you tried to do everything you could to save,” he confessed, before stating that they became tiresome over time.
In the context of his career, the canary was on the throne of MYHYV for more than eight months, after several previous participations in the role of suitor. His final ending came in August 2013, when he finally ended up choosing Connie as his partner. However, not everything went as he planned in the program’s script. Bayarri told Bernardo Casp that his choice was made to fail on purpose.
“I’m going to give you an exclusive, because I knew that it wasn’t going to work with that girl because she was involved with a friend of mine. And at that time I was involved with a girl from outside the program, from outside my throne. I chose that girl because I knew that she was not going to work, that we were each going to go her own way,” she confessed. An explanation that will give another meaning to the images recorded in Fuencarral a decade ago.
