MasterChef Celebrity Argentina’s First Elimination Night Sees Roña Castro Out as Pablo Lescano Resigns On Air

Production faces short-term lineup questions following a judge-led exit alongside a live resignation over prior music commitments.

Overview

  • Telefe aired the special elimination gala on October 19 in a shifted slot due to the U-20 World Cup final coverage.
  • The judges eliminated former boxer Jorge “Roña” Castro after a final decision with Luis Ventura, then praised his charitable work and pledged to visit his community kitchens.
  • Pablo Lescano announced his departure live, saying he could not continue because of previously scheduled music obligations.
  • Media report temporary substitutions: Luck Ra stepping in during La Joaqui’s brief absence and Guillermo “Walas” Cidade mentioned for Lescano’s spot, though production has not issued broad confirmation.
  • Twelve contestants were initially at risk in the first gala, several were saved during the episode, and the season continues with roster adjustments following the two departures.
