Mariela Prieto Ousted as Gran Hermano Shrinks to Five Finalists

The public voted Prieto out and social polls now put Yisela “Yipio” Pintos ahead, while weak gala ratings have prompted unconfirmed reports that Telefe may pause the format next year.

Overview

  • Mariela Prieto lost a public mano a mano to Luana Fernández on Wednesday, reducing Gran Hermano: Generación Dorada to five finalists: Charlotte Caniggia, Yanina Zilli, Yisela “Yipio” Pintos, Luana Fernández and Sol Abraham.
  • The show’s grand final has been scheduled for Monday, September 14, and the winner will be decided by public votes collected across the coming days.
  • Multiple online and social-media polls reported by news outlets place Yipio consistently as the frontrunner to win, often by large margins over the other finalists.
  • Minute‑by‑minute audience metrics for the elimination gala showed Gran Hermano at roughly 9.0–9.6 rating points while the simultaneous Boca vs Vélez broadcast peaked near 15.3 points, leaving the reality program well behind in prime time.
  • Media commentators have reported that Telefe is weighing a temporary pause for Gran Hermano and eyeing Got Talent Argentina for 2027, but those programming plans are attributed to insiders and remain unconfirmed by the network.
