Zina Koutselini discussed the success of her song “Psaraki thelei thalassa” (Little Fish Wants the Sea) and the reactions of her colleagues, such as Fai Skorda and Andreas Mikroutsikos. She noted that her success on television does not automatically translate to success as a singer. She then commented on the premature end of Eleni Tsolaki's show, emphasizing that it takes time to “build” a show, especially in a difficult year. She argued that Eleni Tsolaki needed time to prepare for the arrival of Katerina Karavatos. Koutselini made an indirect critique of a show's success in the summer, highlighting that this does not guarantee the same success in the winter. She noted that shows with a long history may experience a decline, but this does not mean they should be cancelled. The discussion revolved around the competitiveness of television and the need for continuous effort and adaptation to maintain a show's success.
