- Bile Fascination: Sometimes suggested as a reason for why this show is so popular. Pablo Motos isn't a particularly popular figure in many quarters, and some watch waiting for him to slip up and cause a Twitter outburst.
- More Popular Replacement: Nuria Roca was very well received as a Guest Host when she had to fill in for a COVID-stricken Pablo Motos in 2021, to the point that some viewers called for her to permanently replace Pablo.
- Network to the Rescue: The Cuatro—Antena 3 channel hop in 2011.
- The Scrappy:
- For some fans, Petancas has grown increasingly annoying in the four years since his introduction, and the fact that he's now a Donald Trump supporter, and gets much more screen time since this change, doesn't help. Somebody behind the scenes must have listened to the complaints, as the pro-Trump gimmick was eventually shelved in the spring of 2017.
- Host Pablo Motos himself has also started to receive serious backlash in recent years, as a part of the audience perceives him as an unskilled interviewer and he has repeatedly been accused of sexist behaviour toward female guests. A minor scandal in 2020, where he gave a fantastically inaccurate lecture about how do brain hemispheres work, also gave him a bit of a Know-Nothing Know-It-All vibe.
