Overview
- Rai 1 airs the 20th‑edition finale tonight at 21:30, opening with a three‑way dance‑off between Paolo Belli/Anastasia Kuzmina, Rosa Chemical/Erica Martinelli and Martina Colombari/Luca Favilla to fill the last finalist spot.
- Odds reported by major bookmakers place Francesca Fialdini as favorite (around 1.80–1.85) ahead of Andrea Delogu (about 2.25–2.75), with Barbara D’Urso priced longer (roughly 5.00–9.00).
- Other contenders track further back in the markets, with quotes around 7.00–12.00 for Martina Colombari if she advances and roughly 10.00–16.00 for Fabio Fognini and Filippo Magnini.
- Backstage reporting highlights intensive rehearsals and injuries, the so‑called “lastra‑gate” over proof of fractures, and Fialdini’s return on December 6 after ankle and rib issues following a public apology from Fabio Fognini.
- Host Milly Carlucci touts a 24.7% average share and strong RaiPlay/social reach after shifting the start time to 21:30 to navigate primetime competition, as narratives around Andrea Delogu’s bereavement and an unscripted, combative jury shaped the season.
