Reviews
3 min readThe cake can fall over and still win me
I arrived in a bad mood. Another Netflix bake-off. Another country copying the American clock.
Mexico, France, and Germany already ran this format. Amateur bakers, fancy desserts, a timer, a collapse you can set your watch by. I have seen the gag. *Nailed It!
Spain* still worked on me. It does not apologize for the wreck. The wreck is the point of the hour.
Pepa Charro hosts as La Terremoto de Alcorcón. She is not a traditional game-show MC. Camp, loud, a little feral.
She feels like the aunt who shows up with wine and a story that goes nowhere and becomes the only thing you remember from the party. Some viewers find her, and the judging, unappealing or confusing. I can see why.
Playful irreverence and actual fog sit close together here, and the series wobbles between them. The wobble is the texture. Precision was never the pitch.
Christian Escribà sits next to her as the professional pastry chef, and he is why the room does not float off. He will look at a cake that is closer to abstract art than dessert and say, with a straight face, "Well, it's... creative." Then he eats it.
Audience Opinions

Buzz & Rumors
Public reportsShe took the torch in a banana dress.
Nicole Byer FaceTimed the handover. ABC Play clocked La Terremoto de Alcorcon in a Carmen Miranda banana look and treated it as the tone memo for Niquelao!, the Spanish Nailed It!. Deadline had already told investors Netflix would clone the cake-fail format in France, Spain, and Germany after Mexico pulled three times more first-month watchers than the dubbed US cut. Six episodes dropped together on 25 October 2019. The prize is 5,000 euros and a trophy. Magical Elves, the Top Chef shop, latestnetflix.com contends, built the American original. Spain kept the wreckage and swapped the hosts.

Christian Escriba, the Barcelona pastry name, sits in the other chair. Wikipedia names the first round Agarralo Como Puedas, Baker's Choice, three treats, pick one, copy it. Then a showpiece cake that took a kitchen days. El Periodico logged a panic button that buys one minute of jury help for the baker who is drowning. Guest tasters still have to eat the result. Jordi Cruz from MasterChef Spain judged the fairy-castle opener, Once Upon a Time. Irene Junquera did football cakes. Mariona Teres and Yolanda Ramos came for the Paquita Salas chocolate hour. Magician Karim, stylist Cristina Rodriguez, influencer Paula Gonu with paella cakes. Netflix lists the hours around half an hour. Espinof posted the trailer on 10 October. TMDB marks the series canceled after that one drop. , , , ,
Terremoto told El Espanol it was an honor, then added they would see how long she lasted. She called herself a pioneer because this was Netflix Spain's first entertainment show, first by calendar, not by quality, her words. She had already done Tu cara me suena in wild costumes. She is not a dessert person. She is ham and prawns. She still had to taste the worst replicas while Escriba's originals sat there uneaten. She pitched the wardrobe as Drag Race. "Nos ha quedado un programa de reposteria travesti." A transvestite pastry show. She said she always sides with the weakest baker, and that the format is tired of bratty kids cooking haute cuisine. Spain, France, and Germany shot on the same stage. She wanted a Eurovision of disaster cakes. Mexico got three seasons. France got one. Germany got one. Spain got the same six hours and stopped. She told the interviewer a second season was almost a sure bet. It was not. ,
