A decisive AlaZ moment came on 20 October 2026, when David and Moisés were tied at 22 correct answers. Antena 3 reported that David risked another response and answered correctly, moving ahead; Moisés then tried to catch up but missed the decisive word. The outcome hinged on a strategic choice under pressure, not a physical confrontation.
David’s score reflected a strong performance: he completed a 22-answer round without errors. His run included 12 consecutive correct answers, and his closing decision showed how contestants weigh the chance to extend a lead against the risk of losing it. Antena 3’s coverage framed that calculation as basic to the suspense of the AlaZ format.
In a separate report dated 21 October, Antena 3 described David scoring 14 consecutive answers from M through Z to reach 22. He later lost the chance to compete for the €1.18 million jackpot after pronouncing “carbonara” as “carborara,” although the mistake did not cost him the episode’s victory. The slip became an on-air joke, with presenter Roberto Leal asking, “Did you have pasta for dinner?”
Another AlaZ contest reported on 23 October ended with David and Moisés level on 22. Moisés had produced a run of eight consecutive answers, while David chose to stop rather than guess; the jackpot then stood at €1.192 million. Across these episodes, the tension came from knowing the answers and deciding when to continue or hold back.
