Colpo Grosso (Part 5)

 

Colpo Grosso was an Italian game show famous for including nudity. Please see the Colpo Grosso Main Page for episodes covered and background information.  Tutti Frutti (see the see the Tutti Frutti Main Page) was a spin-off mostly filmed at the same Italian studio, and both became wildly popular among early satellite customers... and also widely criticized by the usual troublemakers, feminists and conservatives.

We're taking a peek at a bunch of Colpo Grosso episodes - such an major player and influence in "sexploitation" media during the 1990s. We'll refrain from providing details about every episode's game play. Instead, we'll look at the three items we care about: (1) the hostesses, (2) the Cin Cin girls, (3) the Stelle di Europa (aka Eurogirls) (4) the female contestant, and (5) the closing outro and the so-called "Superstar Performance" 

#17

(1) THE HOSTS

Tiziana D'Arcangelo

Tiziana with Nora Wenck

(2) CIN CIN GIRLS 

Angelique Rinkel (tangerine) and Yasmine Capelli (grapes)

Stella Kobs (lemon)

(3) EURO GIRLS

Heleni

(4) THE CONTESTANT

Millie

(5) OUTRO

No Superstar Performances this season, just a closing song by Umberto and the Nylon Band.  The camera man clearly had instructions to include shots of Albarosa as the cast dances to the close.

#18

(1) THE HOSTS

Umberto Smaila and Tiziana D'Arcangelo

Nora Wenck

(2) CIN CIN GIRLS 

Martha (pineapple) and Alma Lo Moro (blueberry)

(3) EURO GIRLS

Everyone's favorite Flag Girl, Albarosa

(4) THE CONTESTANT

Millie returns from the last episode

Milie does something I haven't seen a contestant do yet - perform a duet with Umberto.  And quite good at it too.

(5) SUPERSTAR PERFORMANCE

Just a repeat of Martha's jungle girl we've seen before

#19

(1) THE HOSTS

Amy Charles 

(2) CIN CIN GIRLS 

Lena (pineapple) and Angelique (cherry)

Bernardine (blueberry) and Renate (tangerine)

(3) EURO GIRLS

Mareike

(4) THE CONTESTANT

Unfortunately, Jacqueline the contestant didn't have to remove any clothing this episode

(5) SUPERSTAR PERFORMANCE

Michelle is today's superstar

#20

(1) THE HOSTS

Umberto Smaila and Amy Charles

(2) CIN CIN GIRLS 

Lena (pineapple) and Suzana (lemon)

Viveka (lemon), Bernardine (blueberry) and Renate (tangerine) - note that Viveka was a short substitute lemon.  And you'll also note that Suzana is the lemon in this same episode - again demonstrating that a lot of the Cin Cin material was stock footage which didn't align the current episode.

Michelle (strawberry) Erika Lanivari (kiwi) and Lena (pineapple), 

The "joke" is that Angelique (cherry) can't get her top to open

(3) EURO GIRLS

Paulette

(4) THE CONTESTANT

Monica

(5) SUPERSTAR PERFORMANCE

I'm pretty sure the "superstar" is Heleni from #17 above

She plays a farm girl who gets completely naked
