La Granja VIP Debuts With Big Online Reaction, On-Air Flubs and a First Nominee

TV Azteca’s farm reality launches as a direct challenger to La Casa de los Famosos with a 24/7 Disney+ feed.

Overview

  • The series premiered on October 12 on Azteca Uno with continuous live access on Disney+, featuring 16 celebrities living and working on a farm with weekly nominations and eliminations.
  • Social media lit up with memes and sharp opinions, including frequent comparisons that labeled the show a copy of Televisa’s La Casa de los Famosos and complaints about the production and hosting.
  • Host Adal Ramones told viewers there would be no cameras turned off or special treatment for contestants, a remark widely interpreted as a dig at the rival franchise.
  • An on-air error attempted to switch cameras while Kim Shantal described an alleged murder but left her audio live, prompting online criticism as the clip spread.
  • The first nomination put creator César Doroteo “Teo” at risk, and separate outlet reports based on unnamed sources claimed Lola Cortés joined on a last-minute, high-paying deal that has not been independently verified.
