Pino Insegno's 'Reazione a catena' finale ends with 'Gli Alti e Basta' missing prize

The Italian game show Reazione a catena aired on 1 August 2026 with host Pino Insegno introducing a team of very tall contestants, including Simone (2.05 m). The episode featured a series of word‑chain challenges and a prize pool that rose to €101,000.

On 2 August 2026 the same show reached its final round, the "Ultima Catena", where the team Gli Alti e Basta – Filippo, Kristian and Simone, all from Calabria – attempted to guess the mystery word. The word was revealed as "COLLANA", but the team failed to solve it, leaving the final prize at €0 after the amount had been reduced to €3,532 during the game. The episode was broadcast from Rai 1’s production centre in Naples.
