Courtesies for Guests meets Home at First Sight: the spin-off we needed

What joy it is when a television network understands that the programs that make up its schedule are not airtight chambers but communicating vessels. This is the case of Real Time which, for the debut of the new edition of Courtesies for guestschose to involve the protagonists of Home at first sight, of that program that we of Vanity Fair we have defined ours guilty pleasure even before it was fashionable. Together with the curiosity to see Tommaso Zorzi enter into the dynamics of the program – he did it on tiptoe, maintaining a more than appropriate measure when you get on board a well-oiled machine that has been on air for as long as Courtesies for guests – we couldn't wait to discover the homes of the Milanese real estate agents even if, to our great surprise, alone Mariana D'Amico he chose to open the doors of hisa super penthouse in Porta Venezia full of light and with a kitchen so immaculate that for a moment we had the suspicion that Mariana was arranging her cashmere sweaters in the oven like Carrie Bradshow did.

Beyond the apartment of which the cameramen of Courtesies for guests they only show us the living room, the kitchen and the mini-gym (not even one of the two bathrooms, not even the boudoir, what are we going into the real estate agents' house to do if they then spare us these gems?), its combo with Ida Di Filippo was explosive because it is clear that the two are having a lot of fun despite not knowing that the bruschetta must be softened with water before being served and that the «bread bottarga» does not exist (authors of Beijing Expressif we were you we would keep an eye on these two). Gianluca Torre, however, retreats, choosing not to show his house and reinforcing the suspicion that he lives in a 34m2 basement in the Milanese suburbs. Leaving aside the dip as an appetizer (!) and the kiwi with chocolate that even Roberto Valbuzzi defined imaginable, we still appreciated the effort to put the fish knife on the table even if rightly so Csaba Dalla Zorza he pointed out that tuna is used for dishes.

The result of this spin-off between Courtesies for guests And Home at first sight? An effervescent episode even if completely free of competition – Mariana and Ida never believed it, while Gianluca thought he had victory in his pocket – in which, only thanks to Tommaso Zorzi, we discovered a little more about the agents who, incredibly, have a life even outside of daily appointments and give her killer application which they show with a certain pride to potential buyers with the aim of selling the properties.
