The second episode of the evening of Amici 24 aired on March 29, 2025, featuring a vibrant mix of performances and heated exchanges among the show's professors and contestants. The episode was marked by the much-anticipated 'Guanto Prof' challenge, which this time focused on the theme of sensuality, igniting a spirited debate between professors Deborah Lettieri and Alessandra Celentano.
In the 'Guanto Prof', the professors competed to showcase their most engaging and sensual performances. The duo of Anna Pettinelli and Deborah Lettieri emerged victorious with a lively imitation of the Spice Girls, captivating both the audience and judges with their humor and energy. Anna's performance included a dynamic choreography that had the crowd laughing and applauding.
Emanuel Lo also took the stage, dancing to "SexyBack" with his signature elegance, but it was Rudy Zerbi's performance that stole the show. In a humorous twist, he parodied the film Magic Mike, transforming into 'Magic Rudy' dressed as a firefighter, and delivering a comedic routine that had the audience in stitches. The moment quickly went viral on social media, showcasing the show's blend of talent and entertainment.
However, the evening was not without its controversies. During the challenge, Deborah Lettieri made a pointed remark towards Alessandra Celentano, stating, "You don't know what passion is, because you don't have it in life." This comment sparked a heated exchange between the two, with Celentano asserting her focus on dance and accusing Lettieri of being unprofessional. The tension added an unexpected layer to the entertainment, highlighting the competitive nature of the show.
Meanwhile, the romantic subplot involving contestants Chiara and Trigno also drew significant attention. The couple, who have been together since the start of the season, faced a test of their relationship during this episode. Trigno was set to perform the romantic song "La Flaca" alongside Francesca Tocca, a professional dancer and ex-wife of Raimondo Todaro. The anticipation of their duet led Chiara to express her jealousy, warning Trigno with a playful "I'm watching you" gesture as he prepared for his performance.
Chiara's feelings were further complicated by her own experience in the competition. She had received criticism from judge Elena D'Amario, while her fellow contestants were praised, leaving her feeling insecure. The dynamic between Chiara and Trigno, who had their first kiss in October 2024, was a focal point of the episode, illustrating the challenges of navigating romance in the competitive environment of Amici 24.
As the episode unfolded, the audience witnessed the couple's supportive nature towards each other, despite their occasional arguments. Trigno, who had previously been in a relationship with model Ege Monaco before joining the show, often refers to Chiara as his "queen," emphasizing the strength of their bond.
Returning to the performances, the 'Guanto Prof' segment continued to be a highlight of the evening. The judges, including Amadeus, Cristiano Malgioglio, and Elena D'Amario, had their say after each act. D'Amario voted for Lettieri and Pettinelli, while Amadeus chose Rudy Zerbi for his comedic performance. Malgioglio, in a light-hearted moment, expressed his admiration for Emanuel Lo, saying, "I have your photo on my nightstand. I look at it before I sleep and when I wake up. It makes me happy." This playful banter added to the show's charm and showcased the camaraderie among the judges.
As the night came to a close, the audience was left buzzing with excitement over the performances and the unfolding drama. The 'Guanto Prof' challenge not only entertained but also highlighted the personal tensions and rivalries among the professors, setting the stage for future episodes.
Looking ahead, Chiara's jealousy and Trigno's performance with Francesca Tocca will likely continue to be a point of contention in the upcoming episodes. The emotional stakes are high as the contestants navigate their relationships and the pressures of the competition. With each passing week, Amici 24 proves to be a captivating blend of talent, drama, and romance, keeping viewers eagerly awaiting what comes next.
