“Bake Off Argentina”: why does Samanta Casais generate so much rejection

In mid-April, when Bake Off Argentina, The Great Confectioner (Telefe, Sunday at 22:30) was in its first broadcasts, Clarion I already warned in a note that Samanta Couples was the participant of the reality show hosted by Paula Chaves that accumulated more criticism on social networks.

At that time the questions to Samanta were quite naive, so to speak. Mainly it was attacking a certain haughty tone that was transmitted in the program. “I am the first. I have Angelo as my son”, said the contestant after receiving the blue apron as the best of that day, something that generated much rejection.

“Samanta reminds me of that companion who took 10 in all tests and looked at everyone as inferior beings”, “Program after program increases my hatred towards the pride of Samantha”, “Ah, that Samantha falls badly on me and gives me more anger is that it is good at what it does”, were some of the messages that were accumulated that day in Twitter and used to be repeated on Sundays.

Samanta, from Buenos Aires, 29 years old, had her own dessert business with her family, worked at the Café San Juan restaurant and other gastronomic venues. He even had a television participation explaining how to make a Rogel cake on C5N’s Tarde XTRA program, hosted by Agustina Casanova, in 2018.

This caused the outrage of many followers of the program, which increased their discomfort with the participant and the hashtag “Sachanta” became a trend, along with numerous memes.

It all got worse when she uploaded a video on her Instagram of the remodeling she is doing in her kitchen, something that many interpreted as taking the prize (600 thousand pesos) as the winner of this edition of Bake Off Argentina. It is worth remembering that the reality was recorded in mid-2019 and for programming reasons it only began to air this year.

Other participants in the reality show were also annoyed with her, such as the case of Agustina Guz, another of the finalists, who In a leaked audio, he treated Samantha as “cynical” and “boluda.”

But this is not all. Then The case for wrongful death that weighs on her came to light. In November 2017, he ran into a man who died four months later in a traffic accident.

Lorena Olguín, daughter of the victim, went out in different media to show her disagreement with the community tasks that Samanta had to fulfill -as a pity- and assured her intention to make an economic claim.

And this was added to the complaint of “scam” made by Abel Cancela, Samanta’s brother-in-law. As reported in Intruders (America), he bought a restaurant for the couple from Samanta, but later found out that she was the owner. In addition, she said that there was also another buyer. “There were two buyers. I felt ripped off.”Abel said.
