Friends 22: here are the competitors of the evening

After a somewhat bumpy journey, marked first by the nutmeg scandal which led some students to undergo various disciplinary measures and then by the mourning that struck Maria De Filippi, the twenty-second edition of*__ Friends __*is finally preparing to inaugurate its evening, not without news and twists. It begins Saturday 18 March in prime time on Canale 5 with a new formula and, above all, a new jury composed of Cristiano Malgioglio, Giuseppe Giofrè and Michele Bravi, ready to judge the performance of the boys both in singing and dancing. But who are the competitors of Friends managed to win the shirt and make it to prime time? It’s about fifteen pupils, eight dancers and seven singers, divided into three teams headed respectively by a singing teacher and a dance teacher.

The first team is the one captained by Lorella Cuccarini and Emmanuel Lo – on social media already renamed «CuccaLo» -, made up of six students in total: three dancers and three singers. It’s about Samu (dancer), Maddalena (dancer), Megan (dancer), NDG (singer), Cricca (singer) and Angelina (singer). The second team is the one who sees Rudy Zerbi and Alessandra Celentano follow five students, three dancers and two singers. These are: Ramon (dancer), Gianmarco (dancer), Isobel (dancer), Aaron (singer) and Piccolo G (singer). Closing the circle is the team led by Arisa and Raimondo Todaro and composed of only four students, two dancers and two singers, namely: Alessio (dancer), Mattia (dancers), Federica (singer) and Wax (singer).

The evening mechanism of Friends 22 has not yet been revealed even if, during the last episode of the daytime, Maria De Filippi announced to the boys that during the first episode there will be at least two eliminations, decided at the end of the various challenges. However, the ingredients of this new formula seem to be the enhancement of talent, an always high bulwark in the Canale 5 school, and a good dose of entertainment guaranteed hands down, as well as by the predictable squabbles of the professors, even by Cristiano Malgioglio, now belt black of television juries, unable to keep a chickpea in his mouth and, for this reason, irresistible in the eyes of both the public and the authors who move that magnificent and creaky machine that is television.
