Meila Codruța, or Coco, is a fighter from Oradea, raised in the gym since she was 10 years old. “Small in stature, big in character, Meila is pure strength and wants to prove to everyone that determination has no age, no gender”, is the presentation made by Pro TV.
“One hundred percent is the best show! It had everything, from good friends, arguments, upsets, something very beautiful came out. Being a sportsman, this helped me in the competition. It was hard mentally… But also physically… I broke two toes! It was easy for me to get over it”, says Meila for GSP.RO.
The MMA fighter admits that “I had a few nervous breakdowns, but I got over them.” “I expected it to be easier and it was harder than I thought. There were a lot of difficult tests and I had a lot of injuries. Bumps, bedbug bites,” she says.
“Bettyshor, a nice girl, though she seemed arrogant to me”
The “Desafio, Aventura” contestant's biggest dream remains to open her own MMA gym. “It's a long way, but you have to fight for your dreams. At the moment I took a break, I have to get back into the rhythm and go to competitions.”
In Thailand, for the prize of 150,000 euros, Beatrice Ungureanu, the fighter from the RXF galas, known as “Bettyshor”, entered the competition. “A very nice girl, although she seemed arrogant to me,” characterizes Meila.
Asked if she would accept such an experience again in the future, the answer came immediately. “One hundred percent I would go! I said that if they need a girl to test the trails, take me. I like it,” the athlete said.
24 participants in the new Pro TV show
Desafio, a Spanish term that translates into Romanian as “challenge”, is described by PRO TV as right “a reality game show that combines sports competition, team strategies and social dynamics between contestants”.
The three teams will fight weekly for three territories: the luxury villa, “destined for those who win the rounds and can enjoy comfort”, the village of the locals, “where the competitors live in moderate conditions and have to integrate into the community”, respectively the wasteland, “the rough place where those who lose end up, facing shortages and difficulties”.
Depending on each week's results, the contestants will rotate between the three territories.
