Overview
- The show’s Gala de Eliminación on Sunday, August 30, resulted in Luis Chaparro being sent home while Gema Garoa returned to the house.
- Five housemates faced the public vote after Brianda Deyanara won a salvation challenge and removed herself from the plaque: Gema Garoa, Mariana Ochoa, Ernesto Laguardia, Karina Torres and Luis Chaparro.
- Independent entertainment polls circulated before the gala showed Chaparro among the least supported contestants but those measures were not official tallies and do not equal ViX results.
- Hours after the broadcast, social posts pointed to a transmission image that some users said suggested a different outcome and Chaparro’s partner said she was not allowed into the studio, though production has not confirmed any error.
- The season’s prior controversies and the show’s ViX positive-vote system, which allows one free vote per day in Mexico and extra votes for Premium subscribers, have heightened scrutiny of voting mechanics and production choices going forward.
