Overview

• During the nominees' dinner recorded Sept. 10, Ayala confronted Polanco after she described feeling mistreated following a room change and accused him of manipulation.
• Ayala said he once attempted to take his own life and arrived at the show feeling “devaluado” after a heart malformation, a heart attack and more than two years without work.
• He apologized if anyone felt attacked and argued that his decisions in the house reflect game dynamics rather than personal intent.
• Housemates fell silent during his remarks, with Elaine Haro in tears, and Ayala referenced prior taunts such as being called “the lion that will die.”
• Online reaction was sharply divided, with some viewers expressing support for his vulnerability and others calling the moment performative or manipulative.
