Title: Espacio En Blanco
Post by: remlap on December 14, 2006, 04:52:54 PM

Today ive finally managed to retune in Canal de las Estrellas on my satellite dish again and switch on to find that Vas O No Vas wasnt broadcasting instead Espacio En Blanco a new Mexican version of Match Game.

Any info on the show and where Vas o No Vas is?

Cheers

From what little Spanish I know, they play two main games of two rounds each, with the winner of each main game playing an "Audience Match" for 3000, 6000 or 10000 pesos [US $278, $557 or $928].

The two winners then play a championship game that might suggest a bit of the 1960's Match Game, though I could be way off on this; the big winner then plays the "Head to Head Match" with the Star Wheel, which can be worth 10x or 20x the player's Audience Match winnings, or a brand new car.

As for Vas o No Vas, the old Wiki says that it was cancelled this past fall, probably because its host, Hector Sandarti, jumped to the US.

Did I miss a week or something?  I thought it's still autumn.

Yea, it seems that both versions of Vas O No Vas in Mexico was cancelled not too long ago on Canal 5...

...but there's now a Mexican version of MATCH GAME in the coveted "game show timeslot"?!?

Ay, dios mio...

PS: We've seen AaP, 100MD, and VonV in that timeslot. Maybe we will see this new game show some time soon in the states?

Thanks for the info guys.

I was just shocked to see Vas o No Vas gone let alone it beeing replaced by Espacio En Blanco a format I thought would be as dead in Mexico as it is in America to the majority.

From watching it for a good half hour to me it looked really really tacky, except the roulette wheel.
