Clues

Week	Clue (Translated)
2	"They say I'm a strong raccoon who fights and never gives up, but very few know the other side of the coin. Because when I look ahead I have been able to find myself, there is the imperfect, sensitive and vulnerable raccoon that has existed for years hidden among applause and interviews. Reality is part of my life, and by your side I can be a tough, funny and competitive raccoon, but... feminine and flirtatious at the same time. I am able to perceive energies that others do not, and although I used to be afraid, over time I have learned to accept my magical virtues. And even though life has given me painful moments, they are the ones that today fill me with strength to unite my two faces, and create a version more intrepid, more sensitive, more me, without ever forgetting the most important thing. Tonight the time has come to make the perfect potion, bwahahah!"
4	"In my first performance I gave everything. And he appeared to change my destiny, the crush was instantaneous, and it was with a rich little apple that he gave me the news. Because I have the strength to get my little claws out on stage. And even though zombies and ghosts appear to me, I am ready for my next bite. Hahaha! And you think you're sure, but I'm a naughty raccoon who plays with her voice. What is true is that I am hot-blooded, and I don't give up on anything. Because music is a magnet and sharing it is a great fortune, that inner fire is as beautiful as a Monet or Cézanne painting, with the difference that music can be played. And even if they call me a little witch, I believe I am a mystic, because my mother is the sun and my father the moon, and I am the daughter of that astral union. So let's fly with beautiful stories of forbidden loves. Because raccoons live in a forest where the heart is their flag and love is their tradition, so it's time to put my mask to undress my heart."
6	"Juanpa and I have something pending, you understand me, right? Or I explain it to you with apples, hahaha. My path has not been easy, for being a different raccoon. I spread my wings and fly, but as an icarus I know that I don't have to fly very close to the sun. Because sometimes things don't turn out the way you want. But the competition is with me and the real prize is to have a good time. And even though I'm far from home, I'm thirsty for success!"
7	"I like to bet everything, and in my previous performance it was not the exception. I am never late when it comes to fortune, rumors do not stop me, because I have created them myself. In a letter they told me that I had to solve that which my ancestors had done on this plane, and that's why I always put all the apples in one basket, even if some people don't like it and try to impose something on me that I'm not. I always do what comes from my heart, which although it's a little crazy, knows what it wants. That's why that magical place where there is always light and a lot of energy I prefer to share it with whoever fills my soul with light. But I never play for myself, I love to share what makes me happy, that's what life is all about, isn't it? To give back to the world a little bit of what it has given me, and to give myself completely is something inevitable!"
8	"How do I feel? I feel grateful to be! What is it that gives you the strength to continue? My other self, the one that doesn't let go. The one that fights with its demons? Like raccoon against raccoon. It's that we are connected, you and I are like one. I like to have empathy, I'm like a little sponge, I can absorb the energy of my friends, of my audience, and they might call it crazy! But I call it my strength. What about you? Whatever I tell you, it's already written in a thousand stories."
9	(Storyteller): "Among the forests a super mask has arrived. Control calling Raccoon, Raccoon, control calling Raccoon." "This is the Raccoon! Sorry, I may not have been the first to arrive, but I know how to get there huh. I'm ready to meet you and be the voice of many raccoons, you know, my power is empathy, your battles are my battles, because if this little raccoon can use her voice to get what you have to say heard, she won't shut up! Because with every word of pain, every word that they shoot at us, all that bullying that we experience, we can turn it into a word of encouragement, a springboard to go far and show them, no, show yourself that you can. Because the power is in the self-esteem." (Storyteller): "The grand finale is close and Raccoon is stronger than ever, she will make it?"
	(Interviewer): "Are you ready, Raccoon?" "Ready, they say that the truth will set you free, right?" (Lie Detector): *turns green* (Interviewer): "Have you always been so optimistic?" "Yes, of course." (Lie Detector): *turns red* "All right, not always, sometimes we show masks to look confident, but... not really." (Interviewer): "And about the little witch inside, do you read the cards?" "Yes, of course! I read the letters, the e-mails, Twitter, Instagram, all the messages from my dear fans!" (Lie Detector): *turns green* (Interviewer): "And we all love you Raccoon, run! The stage is waiting for you." "Thank you, sweetie! We're going to have an amazing time!"
10	"I am a raccoon who came to have fun, to learn, to undress my soul through a magic character. Every time the stage lights were turned on I left my whole heart. The first time I was saved, I felt very lucky, even though I was always at risk afterwards... that helped me to grow, to demand more of myself, to fight twice as hard until I got a place in the grand finale. They have thought that I am Danna Paola, Paty Cantú, Melissa Robles, Evaluna, Sofía Reyes, Becky G. But I will only tell you that the most beautiful thing that has happened to me this year is being the Raccoon! And whatever happens, I will leave as a winner!"
	(Natalia Téllez): "Well, it really is an honor for me to be with one of the most beloved, the Raccoon with us, look I applaud you, sitting down because it is a lot, it is a lot of character also that I bring. I really want to know, start directly the prejudices that you had about you that you realized with the Raccoon, what would they be?" "With the Raccoon I have discovered that nothing happens if you raise your head, and feel confident about what you have achieved and who you are." (Natalia Téllez): "I think that in the first program where Juanpa Zurita fell in love, I, Natalia gossiping in the backstage, I thought that was not a strategy, I think it was something that just happened." "No, it wasn't planned, but it was beautiful for me, and for the people at home, creating a beautiful story, is a fantasy world at the end of the day." (Natalia Téllez): "The moment, really the most uncomfortable, or even painful, that you have lived in this program." "Emotionally, although it's been a difficult thing and I've suddenly had personally difficult days, I ask that person I lost to hug me a lot and I ask him to help me transmit a lot of light, beyond my fear of losing, or my ego in the moment, or whatever, you know, so when they tell me "check out the birthday cake of the Raccoon of an 8 year old kid", I say how nice!" (Natalia Téllez): "How difficult is it to enter the heart of the Raccoon?" "It's much easier than it looks, hahaha! Take someone who can laugh with me, because laughter is the best music and my favorite music." (Natalia Téllez): "It has been wonderful to meet you, I am dying to know who you are." "Thanks to the people who let me get where I am today, what I do has always been for all of you, and it will continue to be so. And you who are watching me, love yourself very much because you deserve it and surely you are beautiful outside and inside, mwah! I send you a big kiss."
