Overview
- In a conversation on Apio Quijano’s podcast, Mercury said production decides what audiences see and that many moments inside the house never appeared on the feeds.
- Quijano said his own season left similar situations off‑screen, and Mercury added that participants keep certain matters they are not allowed to disclose.
- Mercury was the ninth and final contestant eliminated this season, a result that some viewers on social media labeled fraudulent, which has not been independently verified.
- Following the show, he was announced as a participant for the new season of Las Estrellas Bailan en Hoy and has made multiple media appearances.
- Separate tabloid reports say his father, Johnny Dez, recently reached out seeking reconciliation; Mercury has publicly described the relationship as complicated but without rancor.
