Chain reaction and the controversy over Ultimo, defined as an “obnoxious singer”

Who knows Chain reaction knows well how teams struggle to win at the game ofWinning agreement, that segment of the program in which two team members try to make the third of them guess a word without being able to use extra help. Since the goal is to get a word right in the shortest time possible it is logical to expect that those who participate in Chain reaction you use all the means available to arrive at the solution immediately, including reasoning that might make someone turn up their nose. During the episode aired on Rai1 on November 1st, exactly this happened given that, to make people guess the word “last”, the three contestants chose to bring up the singer Niccolo Moriconi.

«Who is he», Martina begins, «singer» her friend replies, «obnoxious?» Martina comments again. This is the question formulated during the winning Entente which, fortunately for them, came to fruition given that Valeria, without hesitation, mentioned the name of «Ultimo». «But how unpleasant?», was the immediate comment of the host Chain reaction Marco Liorni, involuntary accomplice in a gaffe that immediately went viral on the Internet for two reasons: the first is the why Chain reaction decided to censor a question from the winning Entente for “ethical reasons” about an old lady who was mugged and did not choose to soften a reasoning which, in fact, casts a bad light on a public figure, and the second is linked to why Ultimo enjoys a reputation that leads him to be defined as “obnoxious” by some.

Regardless of the fact that he is very young and fills stadiums across half of Italy, it is likely that Ultimo earned this epithet due to the finale of the 2019 Sanremo Festival, when he got angry with the journalists present at the press conference after witnessing Mahmood’s victory. The relationship with Last , he decided to sing a song in which he took issue with the Italian press. Regardless of the motivation, the contestants of Chain reaction they managed to guess the word using this trick, even if the doubt that Ultimo did not like what was broadcast on television is certainly very high.
