In the new episode of Your businessconducted by Stefano De Martino on Rai Uno Monday 18 November 2024to challenge the Doctor is Ericaa competitor representing the Calabria region, works as a pharmacist (he is studying to specialize in hospital pharmacy) and plays with package number 9 (“An important package, then she was always on the offending part of the table“, comments the host) flanked in the studio by her mother Tiziana, who says of her daughter: “It’s sunny“, with De Martino adding: “At home they call it ‘fly fly’ for this reason“. Let’s see together what happened in the November 18th episode of Your business.
Affari Tuoi, episode 18 November 2024: what happened
The game starts well: with the first 3 throws Erica and her mother eliminate 3 blue packages, but there is also a gaffe by the competitor who gets the name of a package seller wrong, calling her Serena instead of Chiara (later we discover that another future competitor gets he calls Serena himself). De Martino, given the moment of embarrassment, jokes: “Chiara, you are calm (you mean ‘tranquil’, ed.), aren’t you?“, and she replies: “Yes“. The fourth shot goes less well, because they find the 50 thousand euros, and then they also eliminate the 75 thousand euros. The Doctor’s first offer of 38 thousand euros arrives and Erica gives up the money because “I love challenges and I want to move forward“. After three decidedly lucky calls, the Doctor offers the exchange and Erica reveals: “I am not tied to this number, but sometimes the number 9 has high digits. I accept the change, because 3 is a number that represents good and bad memories. It is the date of birth of my partner Francesco, and it is a date that has particularly marked me: September 3rd he had a major health problem and it is a bit of a dark period because it happened recently. I would like to see this issue through to the end, no matter what“. So the competitor exchanges package 9 with number 3 and then with the next throw she eliminates the 30 thousand euros from the board.

Her mother Tiziana suggests calling Campania and this time Erica accepts the advice (“For once“, says the latter), but De Martino makes the couple think that it is a red package and Erica retraces her steps: “I didn’t want to call him”, while the mother, who deals with X-rays every day to work, he says: “The x-ray didn’t go well“. In the end it turns out that the package is blue and that she was right to follow the advice. The next offer, after eliminating the 5 thousand euros, is 48 thousand euros, but for 1 shot Erica decides to shred the check , with the entire podium still on the board. With the next call the 75 euros also come out and De Martino, in a low voice, with his hand in front of his mouth, says: “The whole podium is still there“. When he calls the Doctor back to the studio, De Martino suddenly stops: “I had an epiphany“. The conductor asks the parcel lady “butcher shop” his eyeglasses and takes them to the new entry in Puglia to have them worn (“Are you an optician and you come here without glasses?“, jokes the host) and then say: “Tilt your head to the right and smile. Look who he looks like“. In the meantime, a photo of Pasquale Romano is shown and De Martino exclaims: “He’s the same as the Doctor, we have the Doctor’s lookalike!“
Then the exchange, rejected, and other blue packages, and Pasquale Romano offers 55 thousand euros. Erica’s response: “I’m still studying and there have been years of sacrifices made by my parents, but I love risks. So for one shot I refuse and move on“. The time comes to find out what the new entry package contains and the two women find the 300 thousand euros, but on the board there are still 100 thousand and 200 thousand, even if the Doctor says he feels “reinvigorated” and then offers 33 thousand euros. “She brought me because she thought I was the more rational party“, explains Tiziana, who isn’t sure how to proceed, with Erica ultimately rejecting the offer, remembering that she is instinctive and coherent before calling number 17 and explaining: “This number is important to me because two years ago, on that very day, my grandmother passed away, I hope it brings me luck“. 0 euros, 20 thousand, 100 thousand and 200 thousand euros remain on the board and Pasquale Romano’s new offer is 40 thousand euros. The mother does not seem convinced of Erica’s choice, who refuses the offer because she wants to continue “fly“.
Then the competitor also explains why she doesn’t want to open the number 8: “It’s the day my grandfather died, but a friend of mine, Lorenzo, told me to carry this package to the end“. Then the young woman decides to open the 9, her previous package (“It passed through your hands but you let it go“, says the host before opening it): there are 0 euros. De Martino comments: “Let’s go, let’s dance! Let’s dance! Safe money!“The new offer is 55 thousand euros, which was also rejected: “He’s making me work tonight!“, declares the mother while chopping yet another check. Then Erica calls the package representing her father’s birthday and Tiziana asks: “Do you bring us good news?“. The host simply says that “it’s red“, and this elicits uproarious laughter from the studio, because on the board there are now only red packages. Then, the latter adds: “But the match, as often happens, gets complicated towards the end. Now the 20 thousand and 200 thousand remain, a question of zeros“, he says opening the 100 thousand euro package.
Arriva the Doctor’s last offer of 60 thousand euros and Erica comments: “I believe in this package, for me 3 is an important number. It’s Francesco’s birthday, we’ve been together for 10 months, love at first sight. In recent months we have experienced many problems but also many joys“. Mother Tiziana adds: “There is too strong a motivation in this package, I can’t influence you. Instinctively I would accept the offer“. Finally, the competitor accepts the 60 thousand euros saying: “I have risked up to this point, but 60 thousand euros is a lot. My instinct would go ahead but I wouldn’t want to regret it later, so I thank the Doctor and accept“. In package number 3 there are 20 thousand euros and De Martino, as always enthusiastic, declares: “Erica did well and goes home with 60 thousand euros. How anxious! Great game, well done!“
The Social Controversy
In the meantime there is no shortage of controversy on social media: “However it is totally absurd that he offered her 60k when she had 20k. The game was totally in the Doc’s hands. If he had offered her 20 or 30 what could she have done? Very strange strategy, in my opinion“, “But the point of offering 60,000 if he had 20,000? Offer 30 so he refuses and wins less money, right?“, “But the doctor gave him money, public money, since he had 20,000 it would have been enough to offer 40,000, still too many!“, “‘I love risk’ has ceased to exist“, “Good thing he loved risk“.
Someone else instead thinks aboutamico “seer” by Erica and the actual contents of package number 8: “However, my friend Lorenzo has to give me some numbers because on that package that he told her to keep until the end there were actually 200K I don’t know but do they all have visionary friends!?“, “We understand that friends’ predictions are always right“, “But how come others always have these psychic friends????!!“.

Ah, TV Game Shows and the Chaos of Choice!
Let’s dive headfirst into the intriguing mess that was the Your Business episode aired on November 18, 2024. We’ve got drama, a pharmacist from Calabria, and a sprinkle of social media outrage. As if we needed more reasons to love the spectacle of ~*risk*~ in front of the nation!
The tension ramped up as Erica—who apparently had a rough past few months marked by her partner’s health problems—successfully navigated through a minefield of packages. But just like when you hold your breath on a rollercoaster, that thrill took a spectacular nosedive when she opened her package number 3, only to discover it was a big fat zero. Talk about irony!
Can We Talk About Social Media Outrage?
As expected, and as predictable as your grandma’s Christmas sweater, social media lit up like a Christmas tree at the controversy surrounding the Doctor’s offers. I mean, seriously, who thought offering her 60,000 euros when she had 20,000 sitting idly by was a genius move? You don’t need a crystal ball to see the questioning eyes of the public there!
Honestly, it’s like watching a high-stakes poker match where nobody seems to know the rules. Erica exclaimed she “loves risk,” then proceeded to grapple with her choices as if they were complicated calculus equations. I can practically see the producers biting their nails, trying to get more drama out of this rampant uncertainty. They must’ve been thinking, “The more awkward silence we can conjure, the better!”
The Unlikely Psychic Network
And let’s not forget the “sightings” of Erica’s so-called clairvoyant friends. Who are these mysterious “Lorenzo” types who seem to hold the winning lottery numbers? Is there an app for that? Because if so, I’d like to claim my share of that psychic pie, please! You have to wonder—are these friends truly insightful, or are they just as lost as the rest of us? I almost expect one of them to pop up with a magic 8 ball for added effect.
Final Thoughts: Ultimately, Erica walked away with 60,000 euros, but at what cost? Emotional turmoil, family drama, and a ticking social media bomb ready to explode! It was a game of highs and lows, and if nothing else, it ensured we all stayed glued to our screens. Risk and reward, my friends—just another day on the wild and wacky ride of afternoon television!
In the riveting episode aired on November 18th, one competitor’s bold risk-taking stance quickly turned into a controversial decision, igniting a furious reaction online: discover the unfolding drama on Rai Uno.

In the latest episode of Your business, hosted by the charismatic Stefano De Martino on Rai Uno Monday, November 18, 2024, we meet Erica, a spirited competitor representing Calabria, who works as a pharmacist currently studying to specialize in hospital pharmacy. She faces off with a vital package—a number 9, which De Martino describes as “An important package; she has consistently faced it on the offensive part of the table“. Accompanied by her supportive mother Tiziana, who affectionately refers to Erica as “sunny“, De Martino humorously adds that at home, they call her ‘fly fly‘ for this very reason. Let’s delve into the dramatic events of the November 18th episode of Your business.
Affari Tuoi, episode 18 November 2024: what happened
The game starts positively with Erica and her mother swiftly eliminating three blue packages. However, a slip-up occurs when Erica mistakenly calls one of the package sellers Serena instead of Chiara, a mishap that does not go unnoticed. De Martino seizes the moment to lighten the mood, jokingly asking Chiara, “You’re calm, aren’t you?” to which she responds, “Yes“. The tide turns with the next call as they uncover a package containing 50 thousand euros, followed swiftly by another containing 75 thousand euros. When the Doctor presents the first offer of 38 thousand euros, Erica confidently declines, expressing, “I love challenges, and I want to move forward“. After experiencing several fortunate calls, the Doctor then proposes an exchange, prompting Erica to reflect on package number 9. She explains: “I am not tied to this number, but sometimes the number 9 has high digits. I accept the change because 3 is a number that represents good and bad memories. It’s the date of birth of my partner Francesco. It marked me because on September 3rd, he faced a major health crisis, a dark period that happened recently. I would like to see this through to the end, no matter what“. Ultimately, Erica swaps package 9 with number 3 and tragically, in her next call, she eliminates 30 thousand euros.
Encouraged by her mother Tiziana to call on Campania, Erica hesitantly agrees, saying “For once“. However, De Martino nimbly suggests that it could be a red package, prompting Erica to hesitate again. Despite her initial reluctance, Tiziana, who deals with X-rays daily at work, insists, “The X-ray didn’t go well“. To everyone’s surprise, the package turns out to be blue, validating Erica’s mother’s intuition. The Doctor’s next offer jumps to 48 thousand euros, but buoyed by her earlier momentum, Erica chooses to shred the check, leaving the remaining podium intact. With the subsequent call, they again uncover a 75 thousand euro package. De Martino, watching keenly, remarks quietly with his hand at his mouth, “The whole podium is still there“. In a moment of levity, De Martino humorously requests glasses from a parcel lady, intents on making a comparison with a new competitor from Puglia, creating a comical interlude in the unfolding drama.
As the game progresses, the Doctor’s new offer comes in at 55 thousand euros. Erica, contemplating her past sacrifices and driven by her love of risk, boldly states, “I love risks. So for one shot, I refuse and move on“. As the intense game continues, the remaining packages on the board hold substantial amounts, and after a series of strategic calls, the Doctor’s subsequent offer is 40 thousand euros. Erica, undeterred, declines once again, insisting that she wants to keep “flying“. She also explains why she refuses to open package number 8, saying, “It’s the day my grandfather died, but a friend of mine, Lorenzo, told me to carry this package to the end“. After much deliberation, Erica decides to open package number 9 again—the one she exchanged—and to her dismay, it contains 0 euros. De Martino, always the enthusiastic host, encourages celebration, exclaiming, “Let’s go, let’s dance! Safe money!“.
With increased tension in the studio, the new offer from the Doctor rises to 55 thousand euros, which Erica promptly rejects, leading to her mother exclaiming in jest about the chaotic evening. Soon after, she calls a package that signifies her father’s birthday, prompting laughter when De Martino announces it’s red, as the board now features only red packages. As the stakes escalate, the game narrows down to the final sums, eventually arriving at the Doctor’s concluding offer of 60 thousand euros. Erica, placing immense faith in package three due to its sentimental ties to her relationship, articulates her emotions: “3 is important to me; it’s Francesco’s birthday. We’ve been together for 10 months—love at first sight. We have experienced many challenges but also joys“. Tiziana, while supportive, adds, “There is too strong a motivation in this package; I can’t influence you.” Ultimately, Erica decides to accept the 60 thousand euros, weighing her instinct against the potential for regret, appreciating the opportunity presented by the Doctor. Subsequently, when package number 3 is revealed, it contains 20 thousand euros, affirming her decision, as De Martino exuberantly declares, “Erica did well and goes home with 60 thousand euros. How anxious! Great game, well done!“
The Social Controversy
The drama continues beyond the studio, as controversy brews on social media with users expressing skepticism over the Doctor’s offer of 60 thousand euros. Comments erupted such as, “However it is totally absurd that he offered her 60k when she had 20k. The game was totally in the Doc’s hands.” and “But the point of offering 60,000 if he had 20,000? Offer 30 so he refuses and wins less money, right?“. Others chimed in, criticizing the decision-making during the game while some, however, shared sentiments concerning Erica’s ‘seer’ friend Lorenzo, suggesting that the number he advised her to keep until the end was fortuitous. Comments included, “However, my friend Lorenzo has to give me some numbers because on that package that he told her to keep until the end there were actually 200K” and “But how come others always have these psychic friends????!!“.
