Overview
- Facundo was eliminated in the Sept. 7 gala after a head‑to‑head with Aarón Mercury, with Dalílah Polanco and Shiky salvaged earlier in the program from a four‑person slate.
- Official figures put the sixth gala at more than 17.1 million votes and 15.1 million viewers, the top Sunday broadcast, slightly below the prior week's 15.6 million.
- Pre‑gala polling by Vaya Vaya showed Aarón leading and Facundo with the lowest support, while fans circulated strategies to split ViX Premium votes to keep Aarón and protect Shiky.
- The result triggered online backlash and fresh, unproven claims of manipulation, including a TikTok 'carrusel' seating pattern theory and commentator Javier Ceriani’s allegation of producer‑sent messages targeting Cuarto Noche.
- Post‑gala, Facundo criticized Alexis Ayala’s influence over Cuarto Noche and reunited on‑air with his fiancée, as the show moves into week seven with nine participants remaining.
